The Navy on u Footing.

There is to be a general rigging
up of all the war vessels belonging
to the United States. The admin.
lstration, not knowing how things
may turn up in Europe, deems il
prudent to put everything in trim
for any emergency. Consequently
orders have been issued to COM
m~andants of all navy yards to has
ten with all possible speed the COM
pletion and repair of every vessel
that can be got into commission at
a reasonable time. This order has
caused great activity in all the
principal navy stations, and, if
promptly carried out, the navy de-
partment will be able to reinforce
the European squadron with eight
or ten efficient vessels in about two
months. The limit fixed by Con-
gress for the number of seamen
has been reached, but the Secreta-
ry of the Navy and Admiral Por-
ter think that the number should be
increased to $4,000 men. At the
Portsmouth Navy Yard additional
workmen have been put on. At
the Washington, Boston, Brooklyn

upon to use powder and shot be-
fore the Franco russian contest is
over.
