Money for Fortifying the Dry Tortugas
Set Aside.
Washington, March 15.-The prudent
and patriotic action of Congress in voting
last weeks appropriation Of $50, 100000
for the national defence bore its first nota-
BILE fruit when the Administration an
nounced the addition by purchase Of two
new and efficient warshsps to the American
feet The new vessels which are to fly the
Stars and Stripes are the twin cruisers
Amazonas and Almirante Abrouall. Just
completed by the Armstrong; at Newcastle,
England, for the Republic of Brazil. Both
are practically ready for sea, and will be
manned as soon as possible with American
crews and brought to this country TO rein
force the Atlantic feet.
The two new cruisers, which are Of the
general type Of the Cincinnati and the
Raleigh, will be renamed after two Ameri-
can cities not yet represented in the naval
list The purchase price OF each Is sup
posed TO have been between 81, ,75O, 900 and
81, 900, 900.
In addition to strengthening the navy
the Administration has decided to push at
once the work of fortifying the Dry Tor
tugas as possible base of naval supplies
in case of a rupture with Spain. BY order
of the President s5OO,OO of the emergency
fund was set aside for use in putting both
the Dry Tortugas and Key West in readi-
ness for depot uses. It is expected by the
naval authorities that an expenditure OF
$500, 900 will be sufficient to put both sta
tions In proper state of defence, and so
increase their capacity for naval rendezvous
purposes that they can serve as a base for a
campaign of any duration against the
Spanish possessions in the West indies.
