IMPRESSMENT NECESSARY

Washington, June SIT is with consid-
cradle regret that the government Off
Gals have been compelled to take the
lnltiatory steps for impressing vessels
into the service of the United States gov
eminent.
This, however they have found neces-
sary in the case of the three vessels Of
the Pacific Coast Steamship company,
which are desired by the department and
which they have been unable to secure
because Of the inability to agree upon the
terms of the charter. The vessels re-
ferred to, the Senator, the Queen and the
City of Puebla, have not yet been actually
impressed into the government service
but will be, if after an examination nv
General Merritt they are found to be in
satisfactory condition for transport ser
vice. II the question of compensation for
the use of the vessels cannot be agreed
upon between the agents of the govern
ment and the company it will be adiudi-
Gated hereafter either through the court
OF claims or through some other method
that may he devised by the government.
This is the first instance in which steps
Tor the lmpressment of vessels for the
use of the government have been taken
during the present war, but it is under
stood that the intention of the war depart-
ment hereafter to adopt such measures
wherever there is a disposition on the part
Of agents or owners of steamship lines
to embarrass the government by holding
out FOR fancy prices for the charter OF
ships. This will apply either to the At
lantic or Pacific coast. as the necessity
may arise. Officials characterize the ac-
ton Of the companies as showing a lack
Of patriotism and consideration for the
interests of the government during the
present emergency and say they are not
disposed hereafter to have this interfere
with the active and prompt procurement
of needed vessels.

didonal vessels, extraordinary activity in
be started and no time lost m preparing
for the third and last expeditions for the
reinforcement of Admiral Dewey.
The following are the names Of the YES
sels just chartered:
The Indiana, now at Seattle, capacity
1000 men.
The Morgan City, now at San Fran
cisco. capacity 1000 men. and the City of
Para. which win carry approximately
800 men.
The Victoria, which is at Tacoma, Wash
ington; the Olympia. which will be at
Tacoma on the 18th instant, and the Ari-
iona, which will be at the same place on
the 10th of July.
These latter three vessels belong to the
Northern Pacific Steamship company and
their charter depends upon the granting
to them by congress of an American reg
istry. Assistant Secretary Meiklejohn
made an original proposition for these
ships over week ago but the company
held out for some time for higher figures
than the government proposed to give
them. The terms of charter are entirely
satisfactory to the department.
The department also has the privilege
Of taking the Tacoma and the Columbia.
of the Northern Pacific line, if they are
needed. The former vessel will arrive at
Tacoma on July 81 and the latter at Port
land on August 7. The department may
not need to avail itself Of the services
Of the vessels because of ,ba ,,occibIo
return of some of those which have al
ready Started or are about to start for
the Philippines, in which case the two last
mentioned will not be taken. A distinct
point in favor of the government in the
charter of the Northern Pacific vessels is
the privilege given by the company to the
government to re-deliver them at Hong
Kong. This will result in a material
saving 70 the government, az the vessel
may not be needed after making one trim.
