A large increase in the navy is
made by the naval appropriation
bill. Besides authorizing two battle
ships, three armored cruisers, three
protected cruisers and five sub
marine torpedo boats, the bill en-
ables the secretary of the navy to
proceed with the construction of
the vessels authorized in 1898 and
1899, by providing means for buy
ing armor plate, for which these
various vessels have been waiting on
account of restrictions as to price.
The ships Immediately affected by
the armor plate agreement are the
battleships Maine, Ohio and Mis-
souri,, authorized May 4, 1898, and
delayed because armor could not be
purchased. In 1899 congress auth
orized the construction of three
more battleships, the Georgia,
Pennsylvania and New Jersey, and
three armored cruisers, West Vir-
GINA, Nebraska and California, and
these vessles also will be built soon.
