Hale, who reported the naval bill appro-

three battle ships, coast defense vessels,
gun boats aud torpedo boats, said to-day
that it was the unanimous report Of the
Naval Committee lie intends to call up
the bill in a few days and does not antici-
pate much antaSonism in the Senate.
He has talked over matters with mem
bers OF the House and thinks il has n
pretty strong support in that body. IL is
not exactly what the Secretary of the
Navy asked for in his estimates, but he
will be very much pleased If the measure
should pass. The action of the House
naval committee in providing for only one
cruiser like the New York, is wholly in-
adequate and should bc increased in the
judgment Of the Senate.
