Washington, March 9 The fea-
tore of the days events was the
promptitude with which the senate
passed the house bill carrying the
appropriation of $50, 100000 for the
national defense, and the haste with
which it was put through the final
proceedings, engrossed and signed
by the President. While the matter
has been considered, it can be stated
that the fund has not yet been allot
ted among the various branches of
the government service Each of
these had prepared roughly and tent
ativeiy an estimate of the funds it
could dispose of to advantage. but
looking over the ground the Presi
dent concluded that it would be well,
perhaps, to avoid making the allot-
ment until the necessity became ap-
parent. The reason back of this is
that the sum that can be pro6tably
spent for warships cannot even be
guessed at with any approximation to
accuracy just now. As the ships
are to be first choice in the steps for
defense, until their cost is ascertain
ed it is not possible to divide the re-
mainder of the appropriation among
the other branches of the military and
naval services
The secretary of the navy is max
ing every effort 30 secure from our
naval attaches and diplomatic officers
abroad all information obtainable re
specting the number of ships build
ing, their price, and other data This
does not necessarily interfere with
the execution of the plans confided to
