SAMOA SITUATION.
Our Action to Be Covered by Views
Of Senators.

NEW YORK. Oct. ga special to
the Herald from Washington says:
Until further informed OF the attitude
of Crest Britain on the German propo-
sition to partition the Samoan islands
among the three powers signatOry to
the Berlin treaty, It is probable that
Secretary Hay will not make catego-
rical reply.
Final action will certainly not be tax
en- by this government until the presi-
dent and secretary of state understand
the views Of influential senator's with
reference to the proposed disposition OF
the islands. In the meantime, there is
no intention on the part OF the ad-
ministration to be pushed into hasty ac-
ton by the rumors Of trouble in Samoa
and the report emanating from German
sources that for the surrender OF her
rights in the islands OF Lula and saa-
vii, Germany should be given the pos
session Of Upolu and additional COM
pensation. 1t was significantly stated
that the president proposed to careful
ly guard every interest Of the United
States in Lulila in view Of American
possession Of the harbor Of Pango-Pan-
go on that island by this government
and to require adequate compensation
for the surrender Of American claims
to the islands Of Upolu and Savaii.
The authorities have determined that
there shall be no additional commission

hand, its policy would be found to be
in thorough harmony with the eastern
trunk line association.

in the present law for rewarding Off
GERS for conspicuous conduct in battle
and for extraordinary heroism. The
injustice of the present system is APP
parent The promotion of an officer
over the heads of other officers oper-
ates as a reduction of the latter in
rank, and also delays them in securing
the increased pay which accompanies
regular rise in grade. In other words,
the promotion is made not at the ex-
pense of the government, which should
bear it, but at the expense of the uI-
fortunate officers who are over-slaugh-
ed and who are thus punished, although
faithful to every duty and only unfor-
tunate in lacking the opportunity for
conspicuous conduct or heroism.
While those engaged in the battle of
Manila have been deservedly rewarded
and no men ever deserved reward
more richly--those who took part in
the operations at Santiago, displaying
the same conspicuous conduct and ex-
traordinary heroism, have received no
recognition whatever for their great
services except the recommendations
or promotion by the president, which
have lapsed, not having been acted
upon by the Senate.
The department believes it due to
these gallant men to suggest to you
that their services be recognized and
equal justice done them, and that in
accordance with the statute in such
cases made and provided, you recon-
mend that the thanks of congress be
given to the commanders in chief of
the North Atlantic squadron and
to the officers and men I'M
der his command, as they were
given Ia the case of the commander

in-chief and others and men of the AS

exacting duties, including the blockade
of Cuba, cooperation with the army,

armor and most powerful ordnance for
vessels of their class to be sheathed
and coppered and to have the highest
practicable speed and great radius of
action.
Second. Twelve gunboats. of about
900 tons trial displacement, to be
sheathed and coppered.
And, third, as recommended a year
ago, three protected cruisers of about
5000 tons trial displacement. carrying
the most powerful ordnance for vessels
of their class, to be sheathed and cop
pered, and to have the highest practi-
cable speed and great radius of ac~
ton.
The increase in the tonnage of the
last three named vessels from 5000 tons,
as recommended a year ago, to 5000
tons is suggested by the naval board
ION construction as better adapted to
the present needs of the service. The
same board are also of the opinion that
if any of the foregoing vessels are au-
thorized, the law should provide that in
case satisfactory bids can not be OBJ
tanned for their construction by con-
tract the department shall have auth
GRITTY to construct the same in the navy
yards.
CONSOLIDATION OF BUREAUS.
In the opinion of-the department it
would be in the interest of good bust
ness organization and economy to con-
solidate the three bureaus of construc-
ton and repair, steam engineering, and
equipment under one head. These bu-
| reaus have to do with the construction
and fitting out of vessels; in one word,
the material of the ship
Therefore, in order that purchasers
of vessels of the kind referred to may
! he given the benefits of tha sbirpiD o
| laws, 1T is necessary that congress, If
it approve of such action, enact a mea-
sure providing that all vessels hereaft-
! er bought by American citizens from
the government, no matter where built
or how procured by it, shall be entitled
| by virtue of such purchase to all the
rights and privileges allowed by law
to vessels built in the United States
| The department submitted a bill t.
the last congress for the organization
of national naval reserve which il
is hoped will be enacted into law dur.
ing the coming session.
The most important question pertain.
ing to naval construction at the pres
ent time, and one that demands promp
attention, is that of the armor for yes
sells now building, and for others au
thorized but not yet contracted for OF
account of the provision in the act Of
March 3, 1885, prohibiting the depart
ment from contracting for the vessel:
therein authorized until contract ha,
been made for the armor therefor with.
in $500 ton. The price fixed is one
for which even inferior armor canno
be obtained, and the department ha.
therefore been unable to invite pro
posals for the three battleships anC
the three armored cruisers authorized
by the act of March 8, 1899.

VESSELS UNDER CONSTRUCTION

Some delay has occurred on vessels
under construction through the inabil.
ity of the contractors to procure armol
and other material, and the lack of ex-
perience on the part of some of then
in building torpedo craft; and the dates
of completion in some cases have beer
somewhat postponed from those giyer
