Michael Davitt, Irish Nationalist,
asked whether the representations had
not been resented by popular opinion
in America, as an unwarranted inter-

of the republic?
Il doubt that" answered Mr. Bal

is a fact. | am sure that if such
feeling existed in any section Of opinion
in America, that opinion was formed
under misconception. I am certain
that the instructions furnished to Sir

given to the House, will convince both
Houses and the public that we have not
intruded ourselves unnecessarily"

pressed by naval officers over the cold
blooded attempt of persons owning vessels
or acting as their agents to extort from
the government sums of money largely in
excess of the value of their craft. The
same complaint is made as to many kinds
of military and naval supplies, although
it is gratifying to note that except in a
few exceptional cases of tube makers and
boiler making firms and some ammunition
and gun making people, every disposition
has been shown to give the government
the best terms in price and time Of deliv-
cry
The Navy Department has received sat
isfactory information that the coal loaded
at Newport News upon the British tramp
steamer Hampstead is not, as was sup
posed, intended for the Spanish naval
craft at the Cape Verde Islands, but is
for a line of merchant steamers so that
apprehension from that score has been
removed. The department is still reach
ing out for vessels suitable for GOLFERS
and several cable messages were sent to-
day to its agency in Europe lodging to
the purchase of some of these vessels.

as explained by one of the naval strate-

this fleet will be to protect the battleships

pedo boats and destroyers. The purpose
IS to create in the navy something like
the same system that prevails in the ar
