Necessity of Many Return Trips.

Washington, July 13.-The navy de-
partment has asked for bids for two
floating docks. the two to cost not eX-
ceeding $3.50, O00 as recently provided
by congress. Chief EndicOtt of the bu-
reau of yards and docks, has been very
anxious to get some of these floating
structures in order to send them down
to the gulf and possible to Cuba, where
our cruisers, gunbOats and auxiliary
craft could be locked in them Without

There are a number of floating docks
in view and it is expected that two of
these will be secured under the bids
asked, without waiting for the long
time necessary to build structures.

Warships whose value amounted tt
