NO NEED OF A NAVY
This Is the Verdict Of Ex-senator
John ]. Ingalls,.
A MANUFACTURED IMBRoGLIo.r
He Says the Trouble with Chile
Interested in Getting Appropria-
tions for useless, Unnecessary
and Expensive" Naval Armament.

CHICAGO, Feb. 4.-"This whole Chill
can imbroglio is an illustration of the
danger or our having a navy said ex-
Senator John j, Ingalls, at the Grand
Pacific. Here the Baltimore was in
the harbor of Valparaiso. where she had
no business to be. She had a right to
be there, to be sure, and being there our
flag and uniform were entitled to re-
spect, but she had no business there.
Her sailors went on shore and got into
an alteration. Had they aud their ship
been where they ought to have been, in
the harbor of San Francisco, New FORK,
Boston or some other American seaport,
they would not have been hurt. But
the officials wanted TO make a show of
action, and they sent the Baltimore to
Valparaiso, where she had no business,
as they sent the rest Of the fleet to other
places where they have no business,
A "Mannfaetured Imbrogiio."
"The suggestions trouble with Chile
was manufactured by people who have
direct interest in securing big APP
preparation from congress to build an
expensive useless, unnecessary navy.
1t was the annual war scare
which is gotten up by the same people
just about the beginning of every con
gress. The scare is always based ON
some trihing incident in itself of no
consequence and out of the question rs a
casus belli. One year it was the Behring
sea dispute, and we were sure to have
war with Great Britain. Then it was
the Malta lynching at New Orleans, that
was to involve us with Italy. Before
that we had some discussions with
Spain. Now watch the course of events
and see if congress is not asked to APP
propriate forty or fifty millions for a
navy"
do we not need navy?''
mo, sir. A navy will only get us
into trouble. just rs the Baltimore did.
There is no necessity for this country
sending lot of warships staggering
around the earth saying the United
States must be respected The United
States is respected without any bullying
of that sort"
