NAVAL STATION AT SAN JUAN.
The Question New Under Censidera.
tion by the Department.

The Navy Department will shortly act
upon the plans for a naval station at San
Juan, Porto Rico. The question pending is
whether the Government shall utilize the
old site, occupied by Spanish naval officers.
or a new one recently chosen by our own
officers, as more accessible from the sea.
The old site is difficult of approach and is
not otherwise conveniently situated. The
new place is on the opposite side of the
harbor, but is in such a location that the
residents of San Juan object to its use as a
naval station on the ground that 1t would
interfere with the growth OF the city. A
number of reports on the matter have been
received at the Navy Department, and are
now before the Secretary of the Navy.
The latter will make a recommendation
to Congress for the equipment and mainte-
nance of the San Juan station, and it may
be necessary to ask also for money for the
purchase of the new site. In any event,
large sum will be required to put the old
station in working order. 1t is filled with
tools longe since useless, and rendered al
most unstable, even for old material. II
shows the ravages of time and gross neg
lect, the latter being fate which overlook
everything in the way of mechanical equip
ment at the Spanish stations and shops.
