FOR COAST DEFENSE
The Great Snip Indiana in the Naval
Review.
THE SHIP'S POWERFUL ARMAMENT
She Is the Strongest War Vessel
Ever Constructed by the Amer
ican Government,
Washington, April 9. The Indiana
will participate with a host of others,
new and old, in the naval review in New
York harbor on the 27th inst.
The Indiana is the eighth warship
that the Cramps have launched and is
the largest ever sent from their ways.
Up to this time the New York, with a
tonnage of 8,003, was the largest. The
Indiana is the first of the first-class bat
tleships to be launched, and her sister
ship, the Massachusetts, which is from
six weeks to'two months behind the In
diana in construction, will be the uext.
The Indiana is 848 feet long1 on the
water line and is 59 feet 3 inches beam.
Her displacement is 10,400 tons, but
with a full supply of coal and stores on
board she will draw 24 feet and dis
place 11,000 tons of water. She will be
propelled by twin screws and her en
gines will be three in number, having
10,000-horse power. They will be of
the triple-expansion type vand will be
built abreast in water-tight compart
ments, and will give a speed of from
15 to 16 knots, the guaranteed speed
being 15 knots. The armor will be as
nearly impervious to shot as it can
be made. The water-line armor belt
will be of 18-inch nickel steel and will
extend 190 feet along each side amid
ships. At the ends of the armor belt is
an armored bulkhead athwartships
which is to bo 14 inches thick, and
above that and the water line is to be a
casemate, belt 5 inches thick.
Above the athwartships belt will be
two redoubts, one at each end, forming
the basis of the revolving turrets.
These redoubts will be 34 feet and 0
inches outside diameter and 12 feet
high. Over the armor belt and over the
bow and stern will bo a flat protected
deck plated with 2-inch steel. At each
of the four corners of tlie 5-inch case
mates rises up a redoubt 8 feet high
and plated with 8-inch steel. These
redoubts will be surmounted by turrets,
each 8 inches thiek, and besides the
armored turrets there is to be an ar
mored pilot house or conning tower.
The total weight of the armor is to be
2,085 tons.
The armament of the Indiana will be
as follows: Four 13-inch guns. 40 feet
long, mounted in pairs in the two main
turrets; eight 8-inch guns, mounted in
pairs in the four turrets at the corners
of the casemate; four 6-inch runs.
THE BATTLESHIP INDIANA.
mounted in broadsides with special
inter bulkheads back of them; twenty
6-pounders and rapid-firing guns; eight
1-pounders and Gatirag guns and 6 tor
pedo tubes. The armament has some
strong1 points possessed by none of the
battleships or cruisers now afloat. One
is the height of the guns from the water
line, which will enable them to success
fully attack the unarmored ends of for
eign warships. The 13-inch guns are
18 feet above water line and the 8-inch
guns are 28 feet above the water line.
Another feature is that the armament
of either the Indiana or Massachusetts
will throw a greater weight of metal
than any vessel afloat. Either will be
able to throw 6,400 pounds at one dis
charge of her main battery alone, which
is 1,000 pounds more than any other
warship, foreijrn or native, is capable of
discharging. There will be a single
military mast, with two fighting' tops
and a lookout, and means will be pro
vided for going up inside the mast.
The Indiana is one of three sister
ships, including the -Massachusetts and
the Oregon, authorized by act of con
gress of June 30, 1890. The general de
signs for the three steel sbjps were
ready on the day the act authorizing
them was approved. Three months
later the bids for constructing them
were opened. The Union iron works
of San Francisco offered to build one
for 83,240,000, or two for $0,400,000; the
Risdon iron and locomotive works, also
of San Francisco, one for $3,275,000; the
Bath iron works, one for $3,149,000; the
Cramp & Sons company, of Philadel
phia, one for S2,990,000, and the other
two for 85,780,000. The latter company
also bid $3,120,000 for a ship twelve feet
longer than in the department's plans,
which were followed exactly by all the
preceding bids, and $3,040,000 for the
other two. This last bid being lower
than that of any other, was accepted
for the Indiana and Massachusetts.
The law required that one of the ves
sels should be built on or near the Pa
cific coast, if it could be done at a fair
cost. The Union iron works, in view of
the bid of the Cramps, agreed to build
the Oregon, also adding twelve feet, for
$3,180,000, and this was accepted as
reasonable on calculating the cost of
carrying to San Francisco material only
obtainable in the east. The Indiana's
keel was laid in 1891.
A Former Kan Will Wed.
Haktfohd, Conn., April 8 It was an
nounced today that Miss Louise Marie
Wilcox, formerly of this city, and Dr.
Thomas P. Conlon, of Brockton, Mass.,
will bo married in the hotel Bartholdi,
New York, May 11. The announcement
was a surprise. Nearly 10 years ago
Miss wilcox, who is very pretty, entered
Mount St. Joseph's convent. When she
was graduated it was. with the honors of
her class. In 1885 she became a sister in
the convent and two years later took the
black veil. Her name in religion was
Sister Celesta. A year ago she said she
had tired of her life as a nun, and wished
to mingle with the world again. She
secured a special dispensation from
Pope Leo XIII and left the convent.
Miss Wilcox then removed to New
York, where she has since been a teach
er of music. Her mother said today
tliat she had met Dr. Conlon in New
York, and that the marriage would be a
love match.
Elegant Headquarters for Callfornlana.
Chicago, April 8. The finishing
touches are being given today to the in
terior of the spacious mansion on Michi
gan avenue to be known as the palifor
nia Columbian Club, and which will be
the headquarters for visitors from the
Golden Gate during the coming summer.
It is a six-story structure, with luxuri
ous cafe, drawing-room, smoking-room,
billiard-room and library.
ELECTRIC FLASHES.
The U. S. senate will adjourn Tuesday.
The president notified the senate of
his desire to raise the rank of James B.
Eustis, lately confirmed minister to
France, to that of ambassador.
It is suggested that at each place in
the country where Arbor Day will be
celebrated this year that a tree be
planted in honor of the new secretary of
agriculture.
It was expected that at 8 o'clock this
morning every union man working- for
the World's Columbian Exposition
company would quit work. The force
is estimated at between 4,000 and 5,000
men.
Unusual interest is being taken in the
coming session of the trans-Mississippi
congress, to meet at Ogden the 24th
inst. Letters and telegrams from prom
inent men from all parts of the West
indicate there will be a large attendance.
Eleven hundred machinists, boiler
makers, blacksmiths and helpers in the
shops of the Santa Fe road struck this
afternoon for an advance in wages and
other demands with the fellow-workmen
in the same lines along the entire sys
tem . '
From Boston comes a dispatch to the
Evening Post stating thatWilliam Lloyd
Garrison and other leading independents
there are thoroughly disgusted with
Fourth Assistant Postmaster-General
Maxwell's rapid removal of republican
postmasters, and that there is earnest
talk of a public protest soon unless the
policy of the administration is changed.
Secretary Hoke Smith has rendered a
decision on the question of revoking the
permits recently granted to the Big
Blackfoot Milling company and the
Bitter Root Development company to
cut 50 per cent, ot the timber from gov
ernment land in Montana. The permit
is modified so as to restrict the cutting
to four sections, and the time to Janu
ary 1st, 1S94.
In the matter of the late Choctaw war
Agent Bennett said the Choctaw govern
ment will never bring their would-be
murderers to a trial, but will uphold
them in their unlawful acts, and that it
will be assisting in a so-called judicial
murder to permit the militia to make
arrests in the Choctaw nation. In view
of these facts he strongly urges that the
nation be placed under martial law.

THE PERU INCIDENT
No Attack Was Made Upon the United
States Consnlate.
AN ACCOUNT OF THE AFFAIR
The Riot Was Started by an Anti-Masonic
Element, and Several
Were Injured.
New Yoek, April 8. The Herald's
Valparaiso correspondent cables that
he has investigated the report that a
United States consulate in. Peru had
been attacked by a mob, for which an
apology has been demanded by the
United States government. He says
the attack was mainly directed against
Free Masonry. He says the correspond
ent at La Paz telegraphed him the fol
lowing account of the affair :
"March27th a party of American stu
dents who were on the way to the Chi-
cago fair, attended the funeral of Senor
Cazardia, a Chilian merchant of La
Paz. The funeral services were held in
the Masonic temple. This enraged the
anti-Masonic populace, who attacked
the building. They were armed with
revolvers and stones. The attendants
at the funeral were driven out and the
ceremonies were suspended. . The mob
then set the building on fire and it was
burned to the gronnd. The residence
of Senor Mendez, a custom-house offi
cial, who was believed to sympathize
with the Masons, was sacked and
bnrned. Six soldiers fired on the mob
and wounded several of the rioters ; but
the authorities on the whole remained
inactive. The attack was mainly di
rected against Free Masonry. There
were no attacks upon or demonstrations
of any kind against the American con
sulate." The! Distribution of Seeds.
Washington, Aqril 8 Secretary Mor
ton has already begun to realize some of
the vexations attending the seed distri
bution assigned by law to the depart
ment of agriculture. Seedsmen are anx
ious to know what will be the policy of
the department in regard to the pur
chase of seeds for distribution. In reply
to inquires addressed to him on the sub
ject, Secretary Morton has said his pol?
icy would bo to purchase seeds mown in
the United States in the open market,
the quality arid price being the only
question he would consider.
A Decision Favoring the Engineers.
Macon, Ga., April 8. Judge Emery
Speer today rendered a decision in the
United States circuit court here upon
