NAVAL MATTERS DISCUSSED.
Admiral Dewey and Secretary Long
Before the House Committee.

Before the House Committee.
Admiral Dewey aud Secretary Long ap-
peared before the House Committee en-
Naval Affairs today in connection with the
| provision Of the naval appropriation bill
authorizing the construction of new ships
for the Navy.
Admiral Dewey thought that three bat
tleships would be of more value to the
Navy than the twelve gunboats recon-
mended by the Secretary. General Otis,
he said, had purchased fourteen gunboats
from the Spanish and turned them over to
the Navy. They were in good condition,
and were amply sufficient for the use of
the Navy in the Philippines. where it was
proposed to use them. He thought even
one battleship would be of more value
than the twelve gunboats.
Admiral Dewey favored the shea;hing of
ships He said if the Charleston had been
sheathed it would never gown down, and
instanced the case of an English ship
which struck on an unknown reef like the
Charleston and was saved because II wes
sheathed. He said the sheathed ships re-
quired docking only once to three or four
times for those unsheathed. and that after
serving three months in tropical waters the
sheathed vessels could steam nearly twice
as fast as the uusheathed
Secretary Long Sdlu ne was unlnIofmed
on the condition of the fourteen gunboats.
and could not give an opinion as to the
advisabiIity OF substituting three battle
ships for the twelve giInboats recommend
ed. The Secretary opposed the construction
of battleships in the Government navy
yards. He said if the Bureau of Repairs
were given sufficient facilities there would
be as much work in the navy yards as if
the Government built its ships. He said
that the navy yards were congested, and
in the Brooklyn yard alone thiIte Il vessels
were now awaiting repairs. He said he
would send 10 the committee a letter from
a bureau chief in regard to sheathing ships
