The secretary has taken a cue from the
battle of the Yalu and says that he has
given instructions that all but the most
necessary woodwork must be removed
from our ships. As all tho guns for our
new naval vessels are now nearly finish
ed. the report states that the WORK of con-

On this point of preparation for war in
time of peace the secretary makes this
very significant comment:
Tho latest and one OF tho most impress
sive lessons in all history Is now being
taught by China and Japan. A nation.
the most populous in tho world, able to
put millions of fighting men into tho
field. is now. after suffering many disns-
tiers, securing Europe and America for
munitions of war. 1t relied upon its
numbers. Now 1t is buying discarded
guns and discarded ammunition, whatev-
er 1t can get, to aid in repelling the as
saults of people vastly inferior to IL in

Live animals were inclosed in an old lay
torpedo case which was submerged in 10
feet of water. and charges of SO pounds of

Of the navy submitted his annual report.

81, 600. 600. and IL torpedo boats of from
100 to 500 tons each. at the discretion of
the secrotay, to cost not exceeding an av-
crage of S170 600.
There are many features of interest in
this report not only in tho way of review
of naval progress at home and abroad.
but also relating to great questions of ma
val policy. To begin with, he shows that
since his last report five splendid ships
have been completed and tried and added
to the naval list, three of which are capa-
BILE of speed in excess of 81 knots, while
two of them are the fleetest cruisers in
the world. The five vessels are the Mar
blehead. 1874 knots; Columbia. %. so
knots; Olympia. 2l.69 knots; Montgom-
cry, 1910 knots and Minneapolis, 23,-

is noted in connection with the advertise
