IN PHILIPPINE WATERS.

WASHINGTON. July 13-The Navy
Department has obtained by telegraph
from Manila a complete list of Spanish
vessels purchased by General Otis from
the Spanish government and turned
over TO the Navy. With the addition
of these vessels. all of which draw lit
tie water, Rear Admiral Watson will
have a sufficient number of light-draft
craft to police the Philippine archipela-
go and TO operate against the insurg-
ents in numerous lagoOnS and rivers
of the Island of LUzon. According to
q Geographic report received at the
Navy Department the vessels puT-
chased are thirteen in number. twelve
gunbOats and one torpedo boat The
gunboats are the Calamianes. Marive-
les, Bulusan. Pampaga. Samar. Albay.
Manileno, Panay. Vasco. Urdaneta and
Guardoqi. The torpedo boat is the Bar
cello.
In addition to these the fleet in the
Philippines has been increased by the
purchase or capture of the tugs Rapi-
do, Sureste and Petrelita. the steam
launch Iona and the steam barge On
dina. Nine vessels are now in service
able condition which were captured by
Dewey. The fleet in the Philippines is
sufficiently large for all present pur-
poses. The best of the thirteen vessels
purchased are sister ships. the Bulusan.
Pampamga. Paragua and Samar. They
are steel gunboats of eight feet draft,
built in 1885. Each is III feet, 135 tons
displacement. and is credited with a
speed of ten knots. The armament of
each consists of one 3.5-inch Hontoria
breech-loading rifle. one 2.7-inch Hon
toria breech-loader and two machine
guns. The Spanish names of the mos
quito feet will not be changed.
