Formal Transfer of Cruiser Amazonas
Took Place at Gravesend.

Omaha, March 22.—Plans for state
Gravesend, England, March 21.—The
cruiser Amazonas, built by the Arm
strongs for Brazil and purchased by the
United States, was formally transferied
from the Brazilian flag to the Stars and
Stripes shortly after 11 o’clock A. M.
The ceremony was simple and dignified,
and to the Brazilian officers it was
somewhat pathetic.
Lieutenant-Commander Col well. Uni
ted States naval attache, ac nuip tnied
by Ensign Roberts, Assistant Engineer
Morris and Consul-General Osborne,
arrived on board shortly liefore 11
o’cba'k. The chief officer of tlm coast
gnu rd and a number of customs officers,
all in uniform, were already on board.
Lieutenant-Commander Colwell, salut
ing Commander Corres, said:
“Captain, I have here a contract of
sale to which you were a witness,
whereby this vessel is to be transferred
to me in behalf of the United States.”
Commander Corres replied through
an interpreter, saying:
“In handing over the ship I desire
to say that it is done with the sincere
friendship of Brazil.”
Colwell, saluting, replied:
“In behalf of the United States I
thank you for the sentiment.”
In the center of a circle of officers of
both nations, Colwell then faced the
Brazilian flag flying from the cruiser’s
stern, and as the officers bared their
heads the flag of Brazil was hauled
down, after which, facing about with
their heads still uncovered, Old Glory
was run up. Lieutenant Colwell and
the Brazilian officers then shook hands.
Great interest was taken in the cere
mony, which is said to have been
unique in naval history, by which one
power transferred a warship to another
in the harbor of a thin! power.
Several Amerioan flags were hoisted
at Gravesend after the Stars and Stripes
were unfurled over the Amazonas.
After saluting Tilbury fort, the band
played “The Star Spangled Banner,”
with the crew standing at “attention.”
Commodore Howell immediately or
dered 60 tens of coal for the San Fran
cisco and 300 tons for the Amazonas,
which is coaling, and is expected to
complete the work Tuesday, when she
will go to Holshaven to take on ammu
nition.
Peking, March 21.—France has
formulated the following fresh de
mands:
That China shall not cedo any por
tion of the four provinces, Kwang
Tung, Kwang Si, Yum Nan and Kwei
Chau; that the railway from Tuug
I Chau Ting (on the northern frontier of
Touquin) shall be extended via Paz,
Siam, into the Yun Nan province, and
that a coaling station be granted
France at Lei Chau Fu, in the Hen
Chau peninsula, north of Han Nan.
Thus far China declines to comply
with any of these demands.

handsome structure, built wholly of
pine donated by the people of Georgia.
The Minnesota building will be con
structed on similar lines of unhewn
logs.
Plans for the Oregon building are
now being drawn, and will be submit
ted next week. Other states send as
surances that plans for their state
buildings will be forthcoming within a
short time. It is highly probable that
the states of NewYork and New Jersey
will construct handsome buildings.
Thirty-five states have to date de

In 80 of these, commissioners have
been appointed and reports from agents
in the field are to the eSect that at
least five more states will be organized

THE
MAINE
REPORT.
President Expects to Receive It Within
a Short Time.
Washington, March 21.—An air of
suspense was noticeable in the navy
department today, due to the approach
of the time for the delivery of the re
port of the court of inquiry.
It is not
known when the document will come
to Washington, and in view of the re
ports of the determination of outside
parties to obtain jKissession of it before
the department receives it, the officials,
if they know, will not say how the
papers are to be brought to Washington.
All that is known definitely is that the
president has suggested that the report
be made as soon as possible, and it is
expected to reach this city in the course
of two or three days.
The cabinet today talked over the
matter, and the time stated above was
the general opinion of the members
when they had heard all that Secretary
Long had to report on the subjeot.
There is an impression thnt Lieutenant-
Commander Marix will bring the docu
ment, though it is within Admiral
Sicard’s power to choose any other
officer.
A cabinet officer expressed the belief
that the report will require careful con
sideration on the part of the president
and his cabinet before given to the pub
lic, which would seem to postpone its
publication to some time about the mid
dle of the week, although nothing is
certain on that point.
The new naval policy, embodied in
the creation of another squadron to
rendezvous at Hampton roads, was dis
cussed at the cabinet meeting at length
and received unanimous approval.
Every phase of the several questions
involved was carefully considered, and
it ¡ b believed that very soon after the
report is received tho president, possi
bly in conjunction with congress, will
announce a definite policy.
Alliance Talk Unabated.
London, March 21. — The Daily
Chronicle, in an editorial on the growth
of the Anglo-American alliance idea,
expresses the conviction that it is only
a matter of time, but that it would bo
a great mistake to try to rush the
movement. It says:
“America does not need more help
from us now than at any other time.
She is superabundantly capable of
meeting any situation that may arise.
She will have our friendly sympathy
and neutrality in the Cuban question,
and at this moment it is difficult for us
to offer more. It is quite certain that
England would never allow the United
States to be crushed by a combination
of European powers.”
Overpowered the Guard.
Boise, Idaho, March 21.—A whole
sale escape of convicts occurred at the
penitentiary at 2 o’clock this afternoon.
A gang of 13 men employed in the
