HIcHBoRN,s REPORT.


Washington, Oct ga large part
Of the burden Of equipping the United
States navy for the war with Spain
fell upon the construction bureau OF
the navy, and In his annual report
Commodore Hichborn, the chief con-
structor, furnishes many interesting
details as to the extent of this
work. More than 100 merchant
craft were made into effective
naval vessels at short notice. Look.
ing to the future the chief constructor
invites attention TO the Importance Of
properly equipping and maintaining
the plants already established at the
minor naval stations along the coast.
He says that had the consequences Of
the recent naval engagements in the
West Indies been nearly SO serious as
there was reason to expect they might
be, the southern stations would have
been necessary for repairs to ships too
badly injured 70 be sent to northern
yards.
The chief constructor declares that
the naval engagements Of the past few
months have fully justified his course
in making fireproof the woodwork
placed in our warships. The necessity
for fastening the construction Of the
new docks is strongly urged. An allu-
sion is made to the steady decrease in
the number ofapprentices in the several
navy yards. The chief constructor says
that the apprentices make the best
workmen, and therefore he urges that
the system be put on new basis; that
boys be carefully selected for appren.

carried through the proper course OF
construction at the navy yard.

Washington, Oct 49, Ample rev
enues for the payment Of federal ex-
penses and the maintenance OF gar
risons seem likely to be derived from
the customs duties in Cuba. II the col.
lections thus far afford a test. A dis
patch from Santiago states that 500,
600 will be collected in customs duties
during the month of October. This
does not appear to be large item in
itself, but as it is at the rate Of 81, 2OO,-
900 at that port, it is believed that the
restoration Of order and the develop.
ment OF trade will increase the amount
to 81, 800, 900 per year.

The work of investigating the damage
10 the official papers in the record ro m
of the Supreme Court caused by the fire,
is being rapidly pushed forward. Many
of them have been taken from the room
under the supervision of Clerk Mex mn,
and removed to the rooms formerly occu-
pied by the Congressional Library, where
they will be examined Most of the pa
pers are charred and scoI ched, and the
manuscript decisions covering the period
from 1890 to 1850, destroyed, but the court
records for that period were not inju! ed.
The exact damage TO these documents
cannot be ascertained until the clerks in
Mr. McKennas office have had an oppor-
tunity to go over those which have be IN
recovered and find out just what papers
are missing. The records affecting the
current work of the court were not in
jured.
Architect Woods, who has been conduct
ing the investigation of the cause of the
explosion, is practically certain that the
accident was due to the ignition of a
large volume of escaped gas by a hame
from a burner.
