passed and still he did not return His

searching parties were sent out. but none

reys was subject TO heart failure, and 1t

Bids Of the Detroit Company Rejected,
and Action Of the Secretary sus-
tanned by the President.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2-Secretary Her
bert has rendered his decision as to che
award of contracts for the six new gun
boats authorized 20 be built by the last
Congress. TWO Of the boats. the twin-screw
steamers. go to the Union iron works, OF
San Francisco: two of the single-screw
boats go to the Bath iron works. OF Maine,
one boat to Lewis Nixon, of the Crescent
Ship Building Company. OF Elizabeth. n. j..
and one to John Dialogue & Son, of Cam
den, N j.
The Endorsements Of the President and
OF Secretary Herbert upon the papers in the
case are of interest from the breadth of the
view taken by each. Judge Advocate-gen-
eral Lemly had rendered an opinion recom-
mending the rejection OF the Detroit bids on
the ground that they were in violation of
the spirit. If not OF the letter of the treaty.
Moreover. he held that the vessels could not
even. as originally proposed be constructed
on lake port piecemeal and them assem-
bled on the Atlantic or Pacific coast. Sec
retary Herbert indorsed this report as fol-
lows: After carefully considering the
within memorandum and the brief of the
accompanying. decide that the bid OF the
Detroit Dry Dock Company be rejected"
When the company appealed the case to
the frtsiuenl ne lndorseu the papers, as
follows: After thoroughly considering the
matter herein referred to on appeal from
the decision of the Secretary of the Navy,
am constrained to approve of his action In
rejecting the bid of the Detroit Dry Dock
Company for the construction of the gum
boats at Detroit on the great lakes. The
agreement made between the United States
and Great Britain In 1917 contains stipu-
lation that no such vessels shall be built
on the great lakes. This agreement is too
explicit TO be explained away. While the
passing of the exigency in which 1T orig
mated and the change of conditions that
have since occurred may furnish reasons
for / IS annument in the manner provided
In the contract, they do not justify such a
plain disregard of IL as the carrying out of
the bid of the Detroit Dry Dock Company
would involve"

Admiral Bunce's Squadron.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2:-Admiral Bunce's
North Atlantic squadron is to go to the
West Indies. and Is, moreover. to be re-
inforced. But at the Navy Department it
is explicitly stated that this movement is
not in any manner brought about by any
motive save a desire to continue the squad
ron maneuvers that have been conducted
with such valuable results from a technical
point of view during the past summer. 1t
Is declared to be the fact that this south
ern cruise was all arranged for early in the
summer between Secretary Herbert and
Admiral Bunce when the scheme of evolu-
tions was gone over. The plan was. first,
a cruise OF the New England coast, then
off the South Atlantic coast. and lastly
another cruise in the winter. when the
conditions were unfavorable in northern
waters, in the West Indies, and this pro-
gramme is being carried out to the letter.
The Minneapolis and the Columbia arrived
to-day at Fort Monroe, where they will
in the course OF a month be Joined by the
other vessels Of the squadron soon
some necessary repairs can be made upon
them and the Maine, Texas and the Gin
cinnati. if the latter can be spared from
patrol duty on the Florida coast, and then
the entire squadron of eight vessels will
head for the West Indies.
