government. These might have been en-
poyed on the Laguna de Bay, the Rio

Cagayan, and for blockading the numerous
ports through which the insurgents possibly
receive supplies. Such duties are purely
naval, and the personnel OF the navy is well
fitted to perform Ii with efficiency and
economy. The question is, where are the
men and officers to come from? The ships
on the station have ar the present moment

six fewer officers than in January, 1895. a
month before war was thought imminent.
Add TO this the additional duties which are
performed by some of these officers at the
Cavite arsenal and elsewhere the strain
consequent upon a state of instant readi-

has been necessary 10 send all the marine
guards to garrison the naval arsenal at

be performed by blue Jackets. It must be
