HERBERT'S NAVAL NEEDS
His Annual Report to the President
Is About Completed.
Those of Last Year and Recon-
mcnds More Battleshlps.

Secretary Herbert has about completed
his annual report TO the President. He
did much of the work at his home. where
he summoned bureau chiefs in consultation.
He has gathered a ma SIS OF material in the
shape of tabular statements, showing Va +.
rious expenditures and the needs OF the
service.
The Secretary will probably increase
the estimates over those Of last year,
especially in view OF the condition OF the
machinery of warships and the construction
plants at navy yards.
There has been for 4 number OF years q
false economy in aIlotmcnts for this pur-
pose. and the estimates have been ma i.
teriaily reduced both in Congress sional
committees and on the floor of Congress S.
This has seriously handicapped the serv-
Ice, and there has been a rapid accumu-
lation of repairs which cannot be under
taken until larger sums are available.
Some of the vessels will require a good
deal of overhauling, and the equipment
or navy yard shops must be improved.
The Secretary will make some recom-
mcpdations regarding the increase uf the
navy. lie has not definitely decided To
what extent he Will suggest the Increase.
but 1t is understood that he will follow
last years plan and recommend addi-
tionai battleships and torpedo boats.
He is likely to renew his recomInenda-
tIons In behalf of the line of the navy,
although this is likely TO receive more
extensive consideration In n special conf
munication To special naval committee
of Congress. He will ask for appropria.
tons for additional dry-dock facilities
and substantial allotmepts for the conEtruc-
ton, ordnance and engineering plants at
the Brooklyn navy yard.
He win also request a sum for the
maintenance of the efficiency OF the
League Island shops, and possibly recon-
mend dry dock there, but Will Not APP
prove the recommendations of the Off
cials at the Boston navy yard for the re-
opening OF that station, which is destined
to remain the equipment yard of the navy.
Among the estimates viii be a large
sum for the purchase of armoT for the bat
tleshiPs. proposals for which will be opened
November 80. He will ask for an ajpro-
priation sufficient to keep the ordnance
shops at Washington in operation. Thus
continual work Will be afforded by the
of guns for the latest gun
boats and batt!eships, and an effort will
be made TO secure funds for the construc-
ton of a large number of breech-loadiDg
rifles for the auxiliary navy.
There are many inconsistencies in naval
customs to which Secretary Herbert will
call attention In the hope that Congress
will be Induced to equaliZe these condi-
tious. The army has some privileges which
are denied the navy, and Secretary Herbert
has determined that the benefits given
the military shall be extended to the naval
force. Among the peculiarities of the serv-
ice to which attention will be called by
Secretary Herbert is the Inability of courts
martial to summon civilian witnesses.

Baltimore. Nov. 23.-Notice was received
yesterday from the Treasury Depart
ment to the effect that systematic Snug
Cling has been going ON at Baltimore and
other Atlantic ports, and customs inspec-
tors are urged to redOuble their vigilance.
The offenders are said to be mainly steer

Attention Again Directed to the
Mosquito Coast
MORE WAR CLOUDS LOOMING
II Is Reported That Disorder Still Exists
in Nicaragua
It's Estimated That the Buildozing Of England
Cost the Little Republic One
Million Dollars

NEW YORK, May 6.-Dispatches from
Tegucigalpa and Nicaraguan points to
he World say that lighting has begun in
Granada, Nicaragua, and disorder is also
reported from Leon. Word comes from
there that the followers of Ortiz. Zerula
and Macherro have united to make war
on President Zslaya. The Honduran
troops concentrated at Cape Gracias will
remain there, as it is feared that the
threatened outbreak on the Mosquito
reservation may extend. General Bonilla
VIII take 1000 men and go to President
Zelaya's relief if requested. Though the
British have left Cornto martial law will
continue some days on account of the
fear that the uprising at Granada will
spread
1t is estimated that the trouble with
England has cost Nicaragua $1,000. 900.
1t is claimed that Envoy Barri)s failed
in his duty by not informing his govern
ment that United States Ambassador
Bayard was not seconding Secretary
Gresham's views in favor of settlement
by arbitration. This view is discredited
by the officials, though not officially.
General Duarte has arrived at Buefields.
high official says the reports of the op-
position to President Zelaya are greatly
exaggerated.
DR.. Guzman. the Nicaraguan minister.
had not been advised up to this afternoon
of the reported revolution in Nicaragua.
He has expected the sailing of the Brit
ism fleet would have a quieting effect on
public sentiment. This expectation was
strengthened when word came that Vice
Admiral Stepenson fired salute to the
Nicaraguan flag when it was again
hoisted over Corinto Yesterday. This
courtesy was regarded as doing much to
heal the wounds made by the incident.
DR.. Guzman's last official cable simply
said: "Ships sailed" In other quarters
the fact that the revolution is along the
east shore is regarded as significant
This is the Mosquito region, in which
British influence has long been domi-
nant and which has recently been Gre
ated state under the nam of Zelaya. 1t
has been apprehended by Central Amer-
can diplomats that if the Mosquito ma
tives made trouble it wou Id afford oppor-
tunity for further Britt sh intervention
One of the best posted diplomats from
that section says he considers it inevit-
able that the Mosquito natives would re-
bel and attempt to restore Chief Clarence
to the throne. This would be denial of
Nicaragua's sovereignty over the new
state of Zelaya, and in the opinion Of this
diplomat. Great Britain would support
Clarence
WASHINGTON. May Ga telegram
received at the navy departmet announces
that the Alert arrived at San Juan del
Sur late Saturday night. The Alert will

wick of the California weather service
for the week ending May 9th summarizes
as follows
The average Temperature for the week
ending May 9th was Fresno, "a; Inde.
pendence and Los Angeles, 81; sacra-
mento and Red Bluff 50; San Francisco,
So; San Luis Obispo SO; San Diego, "a.

The deficiency and excess heat and ex
cess of moisture and cloudy weather in
the Upper Sacramento valley and in the
greater portion of the San joaquin valley
has greatly increased the prospects for
late sown grain to make toieraby fair
crop. and has also extended the life of
the valley pasturage, but has retarded the
ripening of early fruits and berries and
slightly damaged hay in all portions of
the state where cut. Three thousand
acres in the Lower San Joaqui valley was
more or less damaged.
Pears, apricots and prunes appear to be
a short crop, while some fruit is dropping
ON account of the lack of sunshine.
Peaches will no doubt be very good
crop, as favorable reports are received
fiom the peach belts oflthe state, although
curl leaf is reported in some orchards.
The fruit crop appears to be con sidera-
bly, shortened by the excessive dropping
no doubt due to late frosts in April and
excessive moisture along the rivers,
where great deal OF the fruit is grown.
Oranges and lemons are making vigOr
Gus growth tor so early in the season.
Hay will be pretty fair crop and OF
good quality.
Hops are doing we'll and training will
commence in about ten days, more or
less. according to the location of the
yards. The greatest need at the present
time is for more sunshine and warmer
weather. without the heated and drying
northerly winds which are sometimes so
prevalent during the last of May and first
of June.
The past week weather has been most
favorable for all the products grown in
the state.

Sioux Reservation Lands

WASHING Ton. May 6.-The superin-

lieved J. 7. Jones, the assistant melter
and refner, and has asked for Secreta rv
Callsles approval OF the action. The re-
moval will be approved.
Secretary Smith today decided that the
state of South Dakota is not entitled to
the so, 600 acres of valuable land in the
Yankton Sioux reservation which the
state recently took steps to secure for it's
own use. The entire reservation com
prises about 1863. 900 acres and the so. 00U
claimed by the state included some of the
most valuable land in South Dakota
The reserve was to have been opened for
settlement within few days, but final
action was deferred pending the decision
of the disputed question. 1t is now pre-
sumable that the president will promul-
. gate the proclamation within few days,
and that the opening will take place thirty
