He Changed". Steamers After Leaving Havana. NEW YORK, Oct. 11. Cablegrams to all ports In the world were sent out today asking the authorities to keep watch, for Manuel Silveira, the Ha vana banker, who is accused of having absconded with more than Jl.000,000, thereby causing the assignment in tills city of the banking and commission house of Juam M. Ceballos & Co. William V. Rowe, receiver of the wrecked firm, said today that every effort was being made to apprehend Silveira, who, he said, was a close per sonal friend of President Castro, of Venezuela, and had Important financial relations with the head of the South American republic.

CHANGED STKAMKKS AT SEA Silveira's Cunning Trick to Throw Pursuers Off Ills Trail. NEW TORK. Oct 11. Manuel Sil veira, the defaulting; Havana agent for the, firm of J. M. Ceballos & Co., is not on board thw steamer Carmelina. upon which he left Havana October 2, but on another steamer, which he boarded at sea two days after leaving the Cu ban capital, according: to information which was given out here today. It Is said that the present whereabouts of thu Carmelina is known and that tlie destination of the other steamer to which Silveira and his family were transferred also Is known. The charge of defalcation of more than a million dollars was made, ac cording to Sullivan & Cromwell, after the news of the Carmelina and the other steamer had been received in this city. All Efforts to Capture. When Mr. Cromwell was questioned at his office regarding the transfer of Silveira and his family from the Car melina after leaving Havana, he said: 'That is something I do not care to discuss, because it would be giving a hint. All my efforts are being directed now to capture the man." Mr. Cromwell would not say If de tectives were on the lookout for Sil veira in South American ports and elsewhere., nor would he Bay If detec tives had sailed on the steamship Cur itybaca. or on the Morida today, aa reported. Blow to Cuban Development. The failure is considered certain to have a damaging effect upon business In Cuba. Among other things It means the abandonment of a comprehensive Cuban railroad scheme, which contem plated the eonrtruetion of an entire new railroad system, reaching all the Ceballos properties and covering all that large part of the Island not now covered with transportation facilities. Manuel Sllvelra's firm has excellent standing In Cuba. The firm Is one of "merchant bankers," the business con sisting of handling merchandise of va rious sorts, instead of securities, like banking houses. The firm is the larg est importer of cattle In Cuba, bring ing in cattle from Venezuela, Texas and Colombia, and It was on one of tils cattle boats that Silveira with his family left Havana, on October 2. Silveira Great Speculator. Silveira has been a promotor of many enterprises In Cuba. One of his specu lations In which Mr. Ceballos Is said to have been associated with htm was the purchase after the war of soldiers' warrants, which he got for little money, but which subsequently were redeemed at par and 9 per cent Inter est. He cleared a large sum by this operation. As the financial agent of Ceballos & Co., Sllvelra's firm handled money In bulk and often had on hand an excess holding of more than Jl.noo.noo. Ce ballos & Co. were the business agents for many New York firms and Indi viduals interested 1n Cuban projects, and In this business handled large sums of money for their customers.

MADRID, Oct. 11. Upon the reassem bling of the Cortes. October 20, the Vati can and the Liberal government of Mar shal Lopez Domlnguez will cross swords over the church issue. While the actual question of the separation of church and state in Spain, the stronghold of Catho licism, is not to be immediately raised as in France, the democratic programme of the Liberals Is distinctly anti-clerical and if it progresses successfully is sure ultimately to lead to an open fight for the severance of the ties which bind the Vatican and the Bourbon dynasty. The points at issue between the Vati can and the Spanish government are the control of the cemeteries, civil marriages, public education (all matters which have been settled by the ensuing legislation), and the big question of the religious con gregations not Included In the concordat of 1851. The church opposes municipal control of -the cemeteries and demands tiiat the practice of allotting portions of the cemeteries to Spaniards and foreign ers who do not subscribe to the state religion, shall be discontinued. In respect to the question of civil mar riages, the church wishes to have It laid down that civil unions between Spaniards are only legal when celebrated according to canon law, which is aDsolutely opposea to the actual' system. Before, during and since the revolution, civil marriages have been held to be legal. Further, marriages between Catholics in Catholic churches and chapels must be 1 registered In the civil registers to have any legal validity. Consequently, the clergy are forced to do this or to have a civil registrar pres ent at the ceremony. Births and deaths are also registered by the civil authorl- 1 ties with wonderfully Improved results, j as far as the preparation of statistics and the proper maintenance of records are concerned. The Minister of Education. Jlmlno, a leading member of the Canalejas group, has taken the initiative in the seculari zation of education without waiting for the papal nuncio to force his action. In a circular he asks all the educational au thorities, primary and secondary, to for ward to the Ministry within a month a list of all nonofficlal educational estab lishments which are not legally author ized. The decree hits hardest the schools kept by the religious orders', where many of the teachers are foreigners, neither properly domiciled in Spain nor provided with Spanish university degrees. In addition to all these measures, the Domlnguez cabinet makes no secret of the fact that it Intends to open the ques tion of revision of the concordat and make all religious associations amenable to the ordinary law on corporations. The present cabinet has the unanimous support of the Liberals, and even the Re publicans. In wishing that clear, precise and severe laws should oblige the reli gious congregations to snibmit themselves to the supremacy of the civil power, and to cease to be a reactionary and ultra montane militia at the beck and call of the papacy a militia which, as In most Catholic countries, has been looked upon with variable approbation by the secular clergy and the hierarchy. THREE GREAT BATTLESHIPS Will Bo Swift and Equal to Double Xumber of Others. LONDON. Oct. 11. The Daily Tele graph today says that three armored cruisers now under construction, the Inflexible and Indomitable on the Clyde, and the Invincible at Klswick, about which much secrecy has been maintained by the Admiralty, are in reality battleships, of as heavy broad side fire as the Dreadnaught but very much faster. These vessels in fact will be the most wonderful ships ever built for any navy, in that they will have greater offensive power than any two battleships now in commission in any fleet in the world, combined with ex traordinary opeed, far in excess of any thing hitherto attained. Following are the dimensions of these vessels: Displacement, 17,250 tons; length. 530 feet; breadth, 18M feet; meun draught, feet, weight of the hull, including arms and backing, 111,100. Kacii vessel will carry eight new 12-lnch guns. Although these vessels have each two guns less than the Dreadnaught, the Daily Telegraph con tinues, they will have as much power in broadside fire, due to a new ar rangement of the guns, four in two barbettes fore and aft. with a training arc enabling them to be used on either side, and four more in barbettes placed in the center of the ship, so as to bear on either beam, ahead or astern. They thus will have six guns for tire ahead or astern, and they will be able to bring tho entire armament of eight guns to bear to either port or star board. Consequently the fire of these vessels in chasing will be as heavy ajs the head or stern Are of any three for eign battleships, while on the beam It will equal that of any two other bat tleships. These vessels are designed for a speed of 23 knots and may attain 27 knots on their trials. They will be pro pelled by turbine engines. The con struction of the hulls Is on the same principles as adopted by the Dread naught, but they are less heavily ar mored.

VESSEL SPINS IN A GALE Paddle-Wheel Breaks and Deep Sea I'lsiiermcn Are Given Bad Scare. STAPLETOX. Staten Island. Oct. 11. There was landed at the docks here to night a party of 5 badly frightened resi dents of New York, who had been pas sengers during the day upon the steamer Mount Desert, whicli plies between the Battery pier, in New York, and the deep sea fishing banks. ' For more than three hours they had been prisoners upon the steamer, as she drifted, disabled, in deep water off Sandy Hook, pounded by heavy seas and a strong westerly wind. The Mount Desert was on her return trip when the gale hit her, and, although her captain did his best to keep her head up into the wind, she was, not heavily enough laden, and the mammoth waves drove her about in a circle. In an at tempt to make headway all steam was ordered on and paddle-wheels revolved furiously. The boat began to gain head way, and Just when it seemed that she would get Into the harbor all right, a grinding noise was heard, and the steamer careened heavily to star board. Investigation revealed that the port paddle-wheel had been smashed, nearly all of the feathering buckets be ing torn off. . The steamer drifted towards the High lands, and all efforts to keep her head up to the waves were useless. Just when it seemed she would be driven upon the rocks and wrecked the United States steamer Ordnance put in appearance. She responded to whistles for assistance, and passed a line to the Mount Desert, towing her to this place. The passengers were sent to New York by train from here.
