Strained Relations Between
Holland and Portugal.
THEIR MINISTERS RECALLED
The Trouble Woi-Canied by With-
dravrnl of the Exequatur of the
Dutch Consul at Lonrcnco
Marqnea.
LISBON, Dec 7. The Minister of the
letherlands to Portugal and the Portu
guese Minister at The Hague have left
their respective posts. It Is believed
that a difference has arisen on the sub
ject of the exequatur to the Dutch Con
sul at Lourenco Marques, -which the Por
tuguese Government has -withdrawn.
The tension between Portugal and "Hol
land appears to have been emphasized,
perhaps not altogether unintentionally,
by the peculiar warmth of King Charles
toast to Queen Victoria at the. banquet
given yesterday evening at the Royal
Palace to "Vice-Admiral Sir Harry Bolds
worth Kawson, and the officers of the
British fleet now in the River Tagus.
and by the telegram which the King
afterwards dispatched to Queen Victoria,
-thanking Her Majesty for sending the
fleet, and for the friendship thus demon
strated. "I beg to record." telegraphed the King,
"my great satisfaction at the frank and
loyal alliance uniting England and Portu
gal." In the course of his speech, when he
toasted Queen Victoria, the King said
among other things:
"England "has often shared the efforts
and glories of Portugal. Our mutual
friendship and close alliance are strength
ened by history and the blood shed to
gether In causes which, have always been
Just."
Admiral Rawson replied that the words
of the King harmonized with the
thoughts of the government and people
of Great Britain.
Portuguese Minister Will Explain.
THE HAGUE, Dec 7. While It Is not
denied that the Minister of the Nether
lands at Lisbon and the Minister of
Portugal here are temporarily leaving
their posts. It is seml-omcially declared
that there Is no question of the Ministers
being recalled. It is explained that Count
De Sellr, the Portuguese Minister, Is pro
ceeding to Lisbon on a few days' vist
to explain verbally the difficulties which
have arisen In connection with the Neth
erlands Consul, Herr Pott, at Lourenco
Marques.
Spaniards Accuse England.
MADRID, Dec 7. The Imparclal says
It considers the rupture of relations be
tween Holland and Portugal to bo very
serious. It adds that It was due to the
Intrigues of Great Britain, further as
serting that Portugal Is now under the
tutelage of Lord Salisbury. Observers
think that the speech and telegram con
stitute an Intimation to the world that
Portugal can count on strong support
If necessary.
No Diplomatic Rupture
LONDON, Dec 8. There has been no
diplomatic rupture between Holland and
Portugal, says the correspondent of the
Standard at The Hague, and the Minis

TURNING DOWN OP KRCGER.
Only One Course Open to the Chan
cellor of Germany.
BERLIN, Dec 7. In the Reichstag to
day, on Herr Roescker's Interpellation re
gretting that Mr. Kruger had not been
received, but had been "turned away
from the gates of Germany, out of regard
for another country, contrary to the
feeling of the nation." Count von Posa
dowskifWehner, Minister of the Interior,
replied that he greatly regretted that
tHerr Roescker had not given previous
notlco of the question, as he would have
asked Count von Bulow to answer the
difficult question In person. He added
that it was comparatively easy for irre
sponsible deputies to glvo expression to
certain popular currents of opinion, but a
man occupying the responsible position of
.Chancellor of the German Empire, who
was answerable, not only for the peace
of Germany, but also, under certain cir
cumstances, for the peace of the whole
world, would not allow himself to be in
terfered with by such people and senti
mental waves of opinion. For him there
was but one course to preserve the peace,
safety, welfare and Interests of the fath
er! d.
The Berlin press continues to disapprove
fctrongly of Emperor William's refusal to
receive Mr. Kruger. Even the Berliner
Tageblatt regrets the "loss to Germany's
prestige" and calls the Kaiser's refusal
a "grave political mistake."
The Deutsche Zeltung says:
"There is no other explanation for
Cexmany doing England this favor than
political prepayments made by England."
There have been pro-Boer demonstra
tions In Berlin since Monday, especially
at several variety theaters. At the Apollo
Theater, when an actor representing Mr.
Kruger appeared the entire audience
arose and shouted: "Hoch, brave Boers,"
end "Down with the English." There
-was a similar demonstration at ReJchshal.

The report then specifies some of the

The taxes abolished on the ground that
they are sources of undue annoyance in

"The committee have completed all of

to as much reduction as beer, but thv

Mr. Payne said today that he would'

No programme for debate has been fixed,
but Mr. Payne has asked the minority

DEEP WATERWAYS.
Report of the Commission Sent to
CongreRS.
WASHINGTON, Dec 7. The complete,
report of the Deep Waterways Commis
sion was sent to the House of Repre
sentatives today by Secretary Root. The
project is one for a deep-waterway be
tween the Great Lakes and Atlantic tide
water. The estimated coat of a 21-foot
waterway Is given at $206,358,000, and of a,
30-foot waterway at $314,284,500. An ad
ditional estimate is made for deepening
the harbors of Chicago and Duluth,
making the total for the 30-foot channel
of $326,892,000. The cost of annual main
tenance of the 21-foot waterways Is giv
en at $2,843,478, and of the 30-foot water
way, $2,930,303. The most favorable route,
the commission states, for a 30-foot water
way from the lakes to the sea Is "from
Lake Erie to Lake Ontario, via LaSalle
and Lewlston and from Lake Ontario to
the Hudson River via Oswego and the
Mohawk Valley, and that the same route'
is practically favorable as any for the
21-foot waterway." It also Is pointed out
by the commission that this route Is
entirely in our own country. The report
is signed by Lieutenant-Colonel Raymond
and Alfred Noble and George T. Wlsner,
constituting the commission.

BIDS FOR NEW WARSHIPS
(Continued from First P&ga.)
ever, invited to submit plans in each case
for both sheathed and unsheathed ships.
The sheathed vessels are to be of 15,00t
tons displacement, with a length of 435
feet, breadth of 76 feet 10 Inches and.
greatest draft ot 2S feet. The unsheathed
shipe are slightly smaller, and on the
same length are 7 Inches narrower and
400 tons less dlsplacementi 'Both classes
of battle-ships will compare with any In
the world, not only afloat but projected,
for they will have a speed of at least 19
knots, which is expected to run up to
39. a great pace for a battle-ship, which
will oe maintained bytwln-screw engines
of 19.000 horse-power, supplied by 24 water-tube
boilers;
The radical difference in the battle-ships
to tho outward appearance will lie in the
turrets. Each ship will carry four 32-lnch
guns. These are of the extraordinary
length of 40 calibers, or 20 feet In the bore,
of the new type JUst turned out by the
ordnance bureau, and superior in efficien
cy to any 32-lnch gun In the world, and
at 'least eaual to the 18-lnch-guns which
have marked the maxlmum'callber of the J
American Navr. In the three sheathed
vessels, a pair of eight-inch guns will be 1
mounted on the top of each of the 32-lnch
turrets. Four other eight-inch guns will
be 'distributed in two turrets araldshlp3
on these vessels.
The unsheathed vessels will have all of
their eight eight-Inch guns mounted In
four independent turrets, one placed at 1
each end of the oblong superstructure.
Both classes of vessels, sheathed and un
sheathed, will have a broadside of 12 six
Inch rapid-firing uns on the main deck,
besides 12 14-pounders and 12 two-poUnd-ers
and a number of automatic guns,
making the battery more formidable than
any afloat as far as. ability to concentrate
fire and .throw weight of metal i3 con
cerned. In the matter of defensive power, the
battle-shlpa of both classes are unsur
passed, carrying an eight-foot wide water-
line belt of armor, 11 inches thick over J
the vitals of the ship, tapering to four
inches at the ends. The six-Inch guns
will be placed behind the protection of
six Inches of hardened Bteel, and the tur
rets will vary from 10 to 11 Inches In
thickness. A curved turtle-back protec
tive deck" and a coffer-dam belt all around
the water line stuffe'd with cellulose will
afford further protection. Electricity will
be used In the battle-ships to much great
er extent than In any other ships afloat,
and the use of wood will be restricted to
the minimum.
The six armored cruisers represent the
highest development of the naval con
structor's art, for Chief Constructor Hlch
born has not only managed to design In
them ships as fine as any foreign navy,
can boast, but has endowed tnem witn
the qualities of battle-pfifps at many
points. Three of tbese ships are to be
sheathed and three are to be unsheathed.
Of a less displacement than the battle
ships, 13,800 tons in the case of the
sheathed, and 13,400. in the case of the un
sheathed cruisers, these vessels are still
considerably longer, being 502 feet on the
water line, with a breadth of 70 feet and
a draft of 26 feet 6 Inch'.s. Quadruple
twin screws of 13,000 horse-power supplied
by 30 boilers will propel these great ships
at a minimum speed of -22 knots per hour,
and with capacity for 2000 tons of coal in
their bunkers their endurance will sur
pass that of any similar foreign vessel.
Each cruiser will carry four eight-Inch
guns In Hlchborn balanced turrets, four
six-Inch guns In sponsons at each corner
of the superstructure, and 10 six-Inch
broadside guns, besides the usual second
ary battery. Six inches of hardened steel
will extend in a belt around the ships,
seven feet six inches broad, and the guns

FEVER IX ARMY CAMPS. -
Sternberg's Report oa Conditions
During: the Spanish War.
WASHINGTON, JDec 7.-Surgeon-Gen-eral
Sternberg made public today a re
port upon the origin and spread of ty
phoid fever In the United States, mili
tary camps during the Spanish war.
There were over 20,000 cases of typhoid
fever among the -troops ,ln the United
States from May until Septemher of that
year. It became .epidemic la all camps,
large and small. North and( South. The
board found that many commands during"
the war were unwisely located, that the
space allotted to regiments, was In soma
instances entirely inadequate, and many
regiments were allowed to remain on one
site too long. Requests for changes in
location made by medical officers on ac
' count of the unfit condition of the camps
in question were not always granted. In
some Instances camps were set up In
spite of earnest protestations from med
ical offlcers against tho sanitary unfit
ness of the sites selected. The camps be
came very filthy In geenral. it Is stated,
and line officers are thus held responsi
ble to some extent for the unsanitary
conditions that developed. In this con-,
nectlon the board suggests that greater
nnthorltv be elven medical officers In
nuestlons relatlnsr to the hygiene ot
camps.

" FEDERATION- OF LABOR.
Proceedings; e Hut: Second "Day 'of
the Convention.
LOUISVILLE, KyDec 7. Immediate
ly after 'the roll call to the American Fed
eration of Labor convention this morning
President Gompers called Miss Esther
King, one of the women delegates from
Indiana, to the chair, and she presided
for half an hour.
The question ot the Jurisdiction of the
different unions will occupy much of the
convention's time. There are differences
between the brewery workers and sta
tionary flremen'and stationary 'engineers;
the carpenters, woodworkers and box
makers) the painters and decorators and
the paper-hangers: nlumbers. jras and
steamfitters, and the steam and hotwater
fitters; the printers and machinists; the
miners and hoisting engineers, and the
garment workers and tailors.
The credentials committee recommended
that the-protests against the seating of
the delegates from the brewery work
ers and stationary engineers and fire
men be dlsinlssed. The delegates were
seated and the matter referred to the
grievance committee
A vigorous protest was made by the
United Garment Workers against tho
seating- of delegates from the Chicago
Federation of- Labor for haying admitted
the custom-clothing makers. The protest
resulted In the Chicago federation receiv
ing Instructions to throw out the custom-clothing
makers, on penalty of being
themselves expelled tfrom the American
Federation.
Adjournment was then taken until 9
o'clock: tomorrow morning to give the
committees opportunity to complete their
reports.
SANTA 3FK TELEGRAPHERS.
Those on the "Western Lines May.
"Wallc Out.
LOS' ANGELES, CaL, Dec 7. A rumor
was currenftoday that the telegraph ope
rators employed by the Santa Fe, on its
lines west of Albuquerque, were prepar
ing to strike. General Manager Nevln, In
an Interview regarding the matter,' said:
"A schedule, which as a matter of fact
Is a contract, was entered Into and. ex
ecuted between the operators and tho
Santa Fe Company, the Southern Califor
nia and San Francisco & San Joaquin
Valley Railroads, within the past two.
weeks, and among other things lt. was
agreed that this contract would be re
spected by both parties to It until 30 days'
notice had, been given in writing by either
party to the other of ft desire to cancel
or In any part modify It. It Is the ..Inten
tion of. the railroad to respct.'ana carry
out .this, as .well as all other portions of
the cpntract, and It cannot bo vlq)ated
by the telegraphers except, at the sacri
fice of their Integrity and honesty of pur
pose; and I am loth to believe that any
such dishonorable action upon their part
will be taken. There are absolutely no
differences between the telegraphy operat
ors on the Atchison lines west of Albu
querque and the management, and the
one ause that could be assigned for a
strlko on these 41nes would be one of sym
pathy for the Gulf 'Colorado &r Santa Fe
Railroad Companys telegraph operators.
If the operators strike it will, of course.
primarily annul the contract referred to.
and will cost every striker his position,
