OUR NAVY.
Admiral Porter Nails n Campaign Lie and
Makes Some Recommen ndations.

Admiral Porter Nails n Campaign Lie and
Makes Some Recommendations.
The admiral OF the navy, as inspector, has
made his annual report to Secretary Chandler
He calls attention to the old story that $780,
900 has been spent on the navy since the
rebellion without anything to show for it, and
says 1t conveys q false idea, for the greater
part was paid on contracts made during the
war, and SS2,OOO,OO0 was covered into the
treasury. The average annual expenditure
has been about sl6,OO0,OOO. A comparison
with the expenditures in foreign navies would
stop the ceaseless cry of wasteful extravaganza
in the administration of our own, and bring
the people to realization of what is needed
by our navy in building 1t up at once. This
must be done to keep pace with the spirit OF
the age, and maintain the deferential respect
of foreign navies.
Admiral Porter submits in conclusion, that
within the next two years the following steps
should be taken: lst. Complete the unfinished
monitors and arm them with heavy riled
guns, making them rams as far US their models
win permit. I'd. Appropriate money for all
the vessels that were proposed to congress last
ofthe heaviest monitors, of great endurance
and speed, each to carry four 6-inch rifles in
turrets ith. Build twenty torpedo boats OF
not less than 100 tons each, with q speed OF
twenty knots. 9th. One cruising iron-clad of not
| less than 1000 tons 9th. Have all our ships OF
over $50 tons supplied with torpedo boats,
| fitted with noiseless condenBiug engines, so
that they cannot be heard when approaching
| the enemy.
