THE NAVY IS INDEPENDENT.
IT DOES NOT NEED MUCH HELP
Secretary Long Makes Recommends
tiOns-A Limited Increase-An
ships sheafhed-wants krupp Ar
NOR for Battleships.

New York, Oct. ~. - A special from
Washington says:
Secretary Long will make recommen-
dation for but limited increase in the
new navy in his forthcoming annual re-
port. 1t is Ms intention to especially de-
vote his pen to urging the abolition Of the
limit of cost now imposed upon armor
purchased by the government and to ask
for sufficient appropriation To enable the
department to procure krupp armor for
the battleships OF the Maine class, and the
projected battleships and armored cruise, q.
The keels for three battleshps and three
armored cruisers authorized by the last
congress have not yet been laid down, the
law prohibiting the awarding of contracts
for the hull and machinery in advance Of
the contracts for armor. Yet the secre.
tary believes that an increase, however
small, should be made during the coming
session.
1t can be stated that he win certainly
not recommend the authorization of more
than three protected cruisers Of the Olyln
pia class, and he may determine to recon-
mend in their place that congress author
ize several small sheathed cruisers AMI
gunboats capable Of doing effective worl
in the Philippines.
Considerable progress has been made by
the naval board of construction in th'
preparation of the circular for the battle
ships and armored cruisers for which Sec
retary Long will ask the authorization 0
Krupp armor.
In reply to the boards recommendation
that the battleship Kearsarge be placed il
commission as soon as possible and he
superimposed turrets given an exhaustiv
trial, Secretary Long has informed Rea
Admiral O'Neill, president of the board
that such trial will be held immediatel.
after the vessel is turned over to the gov
erment and she is placed in commission
Final decision will doubtless not be take
by the board on this point until the tris
is held.
The almored cruisers will not be sur
piled with double turrets. All the ship
will be sheathed, SO that the spec
which they will make cannot be regarde
as fictitious, as in the case of the unsheatl
ed vessels, and they will be able to repen
their trial trip record after being in con
mission several months.
