Captain Glass of the battleship Texas in

chief engineer to succeed him. Today's
report indicates chat repairs will be com

1.-The vacuum in the condenser fell to
twenty inches. This was caused by the
ship passing through shoal water from
Norfolk through the channel to Hampton
Roads. by which her condenser was iilled
with mud. This vitiatei the vacuum and
resulted in a corresponding loss of horse
power. which the contractors very prop.
erly will not allow. This will be rectitied
by taking off the bonnets and washing
out the condenser with the fire hose. The
