NAVAL BUREAU CHIEFS WARNED.

SECRETARY LONG TELLS THEM TO RE-
FRAN FROM CRITICIsING EACH OTHER.
Washington. July 31.-Secretary Long mas
taken notice OF some rather personal exchanges
Of opinion between the naval bureaus IN the
course OF official business. Before he left the
city to-day for his home in bingham, Mass
he addressed identical note to the bureaus OF
Construction. Engineering and Equipment, d.
recting attention to certain extracts from oni-
ciel letters that were not proper and warning
the bureau chiefs that comments similar TO
those contained in the extracts were entirely
unnecessary and tended to retard and prevent
the transaction Of business by provoking retalia-
ton. The bureaus told to see to 1t that IN
their communications hereafter all such criti-
cisms and expressions OF judgment on the way
in which the duties OF other bureaus are per-
formed and work is done are omitted. They are
to contne themselves to statements of opinions
pertaining TO the matter under consideration.
