NAVY IN NEED OF MORE MEN.
Department Wants to Rc-Estab1ish
the Foreign Stations,

The Navy Department is hampered i'll
its desire to re-establiSh the foreign naval
stations by the limited number of full
term men in the service. The enlisted
force now includes about 5000 men, who
enlisted for the war only, and it is neces-
sary to keep them on the North Atlantic
or home station on account of the proba-
bility that peace will soon be officially de-
clared, and they will be entitled TO their
discharge papers. Nearly all Of the 12,-
500 long-term men of the regular navy are
with Dewey's fleet or on battleships of the
North Atlantic station. 1t will be neces-
sary to place some Of the armored vessels
out of commission if the ships are sent to
foreign stations. and the department
wants to keep all battleships and armored
cruisers in active service.

More Warlike.

Paris special: A remark able change
mas come over French opinion on the Fa.
shoda question during the last forty eight
hours. The attitude of the public is more
inflamed and more defiant. This is due
to the tone Of the British press and the
threatening speech OF the British Chan
cellor of the Exchequer, Sir Michael
Hicks Rach, which the Autorite calls q
provocation that is almost threat of
war.
In Government circles the disposition
seems to be to resist the British demands.
The reported policy of France, as def
antly stated to Great Britain, includes
the retention of Fashoda.
