The New York Head publishes certain papers
belonging to the estate OF the late Com modore Da
vid Porter, which, If they be substantiated le-

"a commander in chief of the Mexican navy
granted to the commodore long ogo as the
year 1928. The Herald publishes a letter dated
10th OF March of that year, from Santa Anna to
Co'nmodore Porter, containing copy Of a decree
issued on the Sd of the same month, in which the
commissioner of Coatxacoaicos is directed to make
out for Don Jose 1gnacio Esteva hacienda, the
largest allowed by law, out OF the public domain,
and for Commodore Porter similar quantity.
Porter's share included the river Coatxicoalcos,
and the present route to the Pacific ocean. in
proof of The fact, the Herald publishes letter from
Ortis, the commissioner. dated October "a, 1923,
in which be advises Commodore Porter to come
on and take possession, or to send attorney,
apologising for not sending the deed by saying
that be had not been able to complete the survey
account of the sickness Of one of his assistants.
md at the same time saying that the deed a
matter of no moment-"a mere formula" With
regard to the identity Of the location, the Herald
publishes letter from J. c. Crossmau, of Boston,
to Captain David Porter, in which he says that he
saw Commodore Porter at Jaapa 10 1928, and was
by him employed to draw two maps of the 18th

to him, did also General Barregan, Governor
of the State; that he intended to colonze it, and
stabsh the INSTRUMENTATION of the two oceans

view to this end be had caused that river to be

In his will, Commodore Porter bequea thed this
claim to his son, the famous Captain David

'fThc Navy Department. Construction VS.
Repair
''lt is proper to state, in explapation, that no
authority is given to the Navy Department or its
bureaus to build new vessels, except in special
cases (fOur steamers authorized six wears
ago, and sStevens's war-steam reautborized
last year) Consequently. as vessel becomes
disabled, 1t must be put in repair whenever The
service OF such vessel becomes necessary. If the
cost of repair exceed the cost of constructive
new vessel OF the same capacity, the fault lies
with Congress IN refusing to the Department any
discretionary authority in such cases The atten.
ton OF Congress has been frequently called TO this
anomaly; but there no uthority to emnloy
champagne and other artificial means to omen The
understandings of members TO comprehension of
IL, the same sold fogy' phraseology in appronri.
ating money has been kept up.'
The above le an extract from communication in
your paper of yesterday signed "Ratl.nen uis
but justice to say that the Hon. F. p Stanton, the
chairman Of the Naval Committee in the House,
introduced an amendment covering the very re-
form suggested by your correspondent, at the first
session of the last Congress. And / know, from
the most reliable authority, that had it not been
for the interference of the heads of bureaus, the
amendment would have been adopted. So far as
the allegation is concerned that champagne and
other artificial means'' required to open the
understa ndings of members of Congress to COM
prehension of their duties, it may not be misplaced
to intimate that the dinners given by "the bureau
ocracy'' has been more potent in stultifying our
Secretaries of the Navy and preventing reform in
the navy, than champagne and other artificial
means" have had in corrupting Congress. The
present corrupt naval system is kept in existence
by "artificial means" al .hough its condition does
not show 1t to be very artistic
