PLANS ARRANGED FOR
FORTY new WARSHIPS
Vast Program For Increase
of the Navy.
APPROVED BY SECRETARY

Proposed BattleShipS Include Subma-
rine Boats and Various Special Types
Not Hitherto Built For Naval Pur-
poses-To Increase Torpedo Flotilla.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.-A vaster por-
gram for the increase of the navy than
has ever before been contemplated on
this side of the Atlantic is now being
considered by Che-boa of construction,
and if approved by the president, as it
is said to be, it is to be urged upon con-
gress at the coming session. The pro-
ject involves the constructing Of not
less than 40 warships, including various
special types not hitherto built for naval
purposes. The board of rear admirals,
which has taken up the subject under
special direction of Secretary Long, is
awaiting itself of the highest expert
opinions in order that its report will not
be open to unfavorable criticism among
naval officers, it being the expressed in
tention of the navy department to dis
courage any opposition to line of policy
when at once adopted.
The program will include no less than
six ships of the heaviest armor and most
destructive ordnance, with the highest
practical speed, the greatest attainable
radius Of action upon a displacement of
about Is, 600 tons, combining the most
desirable features of battleships and
cruisers. A5 least 20 gunboats are pro-
posed of several types, all of light
draught with large rapid fire batteries
and compliments.
To Increase the Torpedo FlOtilla.
Provision is made IN the program for
the increase in the torpedo fotilla by
ten new vessels, including a new type
Of torpedo cruiser on the lines Of the ex-
listing torpedo boats.
Several of the other new vessels in
this category are to be submarine if sue
cess attends the improved Holland boats
now under contract.
The program will include three arm
ored Golfers, larger than any vessels
of this class ever built for govern
ment. They are to have enormous ca
pacity, enabling each of them to deliver
10000 tons of coal at Manila, Guam or
Pago- Pago. A large unarmed ship
which is recommended is floating ma
chine shop of about 5000 tons displace-
ment for duty in repairing naval YES
sells at great distances from government
yards, especially in the Philippines.
Her design grows out of experiments with
the Vulcan at Guantanamo, when that
vessel obviated the necessity of with
drawing half the fleet from the Santiago
blockade.

AssAssIN's PLOT Fooled.
Anarchist Confesses That He Was Sc.
lected to XIII LOubet.

1eCte0 TO h1l1 LOuDeC4
LYONS, Oct 27.-The Nouveliste de
Lyon says plot to assassinate Presi-
dent Loubet has been discovered.
It appears that working electrician
named Couturier burglariously entered
the electric company's premises at
Mines, stealing $500 francs. He was
tracked to Orange, near Lyons, where
he was arrested.
Documents fonnd on his person re-
vealed, the paper says, an anarchist con-
spirary to assassinate President Loubet
on his coming visit to Lyons to unveil a
monument erected to the memory of
President Carnot. Couturier is said to
have committed the burglary in order
to secure funds to carry out his project.
He has, it is added, confessed to the po-
lice who are now tracking his accom-
plices and watching anarchists in order
to prevent any attempt to carry out the
scheme.
