were justified in so doing on the
ground that the powers were not in

officially stated, and that the dissent

The fact has been csta blished that
the palace people have been for some

mand OF the powers for extra guard

Secretary of tho Navy Herbert says
Uncle Sam Needs Them.
WASHINGTON. dec. 3.-IIon. ii. a.
Herbert, secretary of the navy, has
made his annual report to President
Cleveland, in which he strongly urges
the increase of the navy.
ave are not in want Of ordinary un-
armored~ cruisers or of gunboats,' he
says, but we are ~lamentably deficient
in torpedo boats, and we certainly
need more battle ships. An inspection
of the building programmes of other
nations will demonstrate that the les
sons taught ut Ialu and We Hal Wei
have tended to confirm the belief of
naval experts throughout the world
ir'thc efficacy of these W classes Of
vessels" The secretary recommends
the construction of two bate ships
and at least twelve torpedo boats. and
shows that they can be built now at u
reduction OF from 20 to - per cent
from former prices.
Toward this increase in the navy,
Mr.. Herbert estimates that Sy,63s, 333
are necessary. and inclusive of that
amount his estimates for the complete
expenses of the naval establishment
for the fiscal year ending June 30.
1897, aggregate Se9,ali,l66. Out OF
the appropriation for the current fiscal
year, amounting to Sii,2l2,sOl there
remains S94a, 2S6.
Three vessels built by contract, the
Oily mpia, Minneapolis and Katahdin.
have been completed since last years
report, and also three built mt the
navy yards, the Maine, Texas and
Amphitrite.
The United States has three battle
ships in service and five building: six
teen coast defense vessels in service
and four building; one armored cruiser
In service and one building; thirty
three unarmored cruisers IN service
and one building; eight gun vessels in
service and nine building.
The report shows that the entire ex'
pense of the navy department for the
year ended June 80, 1895, was Sla, l4s,-
376, of which more than half was fol-
the pay OF the navy. The approprla'
ton for the current year is $50, 33i, 0s5,
and the estimate for next year S29,
