Washington, April 90 The Senate COM
mittee on naval affairs yesterday consid-
cred and ordered favorable report on a
communication from the Secretary of the
Navy, urging that the appropriation in
tho naval bill providing for the enlist
ment of as many additional men as in
his discretion may be deemed necessary,
not exceeding one thousand, shall be i'm
mediately available on the passage of the
bill.
The committee will report it as an
amendment to the naval bill when it
comes up in the Senate.
The Secretary in his letter states that
the Massachusetts,, Oregon and Texas will
be ready to go into commission June l.,
but that unless the men provided for
these battleships can be enlisted at oncs
it is probable that crews cannot be OBJ
tanned for them until fall.
The committee also considered the
handler amendments and took favorable
action on that one which prohibits pay
ment, after January /, 1897 from the ap-
populations for the navy to any officer
on the active or retired list while such
officer is employed by any person or COM
pany furnishing naval supplies or wal
