WAsHINGToN May PAS the new navy
increases and full-powered steam vessels
take the place Of the old wooden ships which re-
lied In part upon their sail-power for propulsion
the amount Of coal consumed increases In rapid
proportion. This fact has led to the issue Of the
following order by the Secretary Of the Navy:
" General Order No. $40.
"Onicers in command of naval forces, whether
squadrOns or single ships, are directed to prac-
tice the utmost economy In the use OF coal
AT the first favorable opportunity after the
receipt OF this order commanding officers Of yes
sells will make experiments IN order 20 ascertain
the most economical rate Of speed for their ships
under the conditions OF ordinary service and fair
weather. Reports will be made 20 the depart
ment stating The consumption Of coal per hour
at varying rates Of speed from i've TO eleven
knots the kind and quality Of coal used, the con-
ditiOn Of the bottom as lar as known, and such
remarks in reference 10 the most economical
rate Of steaming the vessel az the experience Of
the commanding officer may suggest.
"Nessels with sail-power not cruising In n
squadron, when they have q fair wind sufficient
10 carry them more than four knots an hour, will
make ordinary passages under sale alone, steam
being employed only when going in and out Of
port. IL Is expected that vessels cruising
under steam, whether In squadron or singly, will
not exceed their most economical rate except in
cases Of emergency where the nature OF the ser-
vice requires high speed and In such cases a
report will be made 10 the department explain
ing the necessity for such increased speed and
stating its extent and duration and the quantity
Of coal consumed in consequence"
