of the tremendous strain. 1t is said by
persons familiar with the Philippine
climate that the second year is the

Dewey soon will begin his second year

These facts lead naval officers TO be-

On the other hand, as already stated,
there is absolutely no official evidence
on file at the Department to show that
this is true. 4 full medical history OF
Admiral Dewey is among the records

They show every ailment that he has

THE NAVAL PROGRAM.

The Continental powers, he said, We're
disturbed by the allegation that Great
Britain was preparing With Il particu-
lar purpose for aggressive action; but,
the Minister asserted, the idea never
entered the mind OF the government.
He then proceeded to detail the naval
program.

SHIP BUILDING.
Referring to ship-buildng, he said
the coming program had been framed

This had forced the government to
draw up new program. excluding last

vided for two iron clads, two armored
cruisers and three small cruisers, of Il
specially high speed.
The money required. therefore, for
