which their Beer is made, they are decidedly
ancient, still using nothing but the best of Bar

retaining intact the only formula by which

HOW NAVY OFFICERS DISAGREE.
INTERESTING EXTRACTS FROM REPORTS on
THE MAN-oFwAR DOLPHIN

Washington, Oct 13.-The report upon the con-
di'ion Of the vesseof-war Dolphin by the Board OF
Inspection and Survey. OF which Rear Admiral James
f. Jouctt is president has aroused considerable adj
verse criticism OF some officers OF tho Navy whose
actions with regard TO the vessel suggested that
they were willing to please Secretary Whitney and
condemn the vessel If It possible thing to do
The report OF The Jouett Board Is in such marked
contrast to the reports Of Captains Beknap and Meade
that 1t is doubtful whether those officers will take
much pleasure in reading it. Captain Meade, under
date of March 90 1856. and at that time in command
of the Dolphin, wrote to Secretary Whitney in part
follows:
The general plan Of the ship and machinery IS
isiactory. In my judgment vessel like the Dolphin is
wholly unsuted 10 the Navy. AS the Dolphin in her
present condition Is merely smoothwater nondescript

conflicting opinions and that Of controlling and

Navy officers known as the Advisory Board Captain
Meade may have had them IN mind as the conflicting
opnions7l Much Of the work. especially the decks
tonerwork, riyettng and cemenng Is Of a careless or
cheap character
Captain Belknap, when president OF the Examining
Board, reported that the Dolphin was strucmrally
weak lacked the necessary speed Of twelve knots
exhibited dangerous vibration in heavy sea, adding
that her bow was weak. her steering apparatus De
fecfiye and her painting. Joining and guiding faulty
In a word, she dead failure.
This IS what the Jouett BOARD said Of her after
her return from cruise around the world, cruise
OF 5000 miles, ended with not Joint sprung or
sign Of weakness anywhere:
After careful inspection, have to report thet the
