Commodore SehIey's Proposed school
to be Opened July LIST.

WASHINGTON, June 26.-The school
proposed by Commodore Schley, for the
instruction of seamen in the improved
armament of modern vessels, will open at
the navy yard in this city the LIST of July.
A class Of twenty sailors has been Sc
lected. Commodore Schley hopes to

class will receive torpedo instruction for
six months, at the end of which period

ton at the two points will conclude at
the end of one year, when new classes
will be formed. Only sailors enlisted in
continuous service are admitted to the
school. These men, said Commodore
Schley to-day, ARE to go on vessels at

may be on board Our sailors have not
kept pace with the advance in gun ma
chinery, The government is to blame
for this, for since the war no attempt at
improvement in guns has been made
until within the past year. Now we have
no improved guns, ncr men to handle
them if they should be obtained. The
ball of the war fired at a modern vessel
is like pea snapped at a window-pane
We expect to secure new guns, and will
need men to handle them "
