gagged in making surveys in cuba, one
IN the outlying islands eastward OF
Porto Rico, one In the Hawaiian Isl
dnds and one at Guam, and orders have
been Issued for the preparation OF six
of the naval vessels IN Philippine Wa
ters TO begin the surveys of those wa
tars. The Coast and Geodetic Survey
has one vessel engaged in making sur
veyS on the south coast of Porto Rico
and one in the Hawaiian Islands. Thus
far no case has arisen in which vessels
OF the two departments have surveyed
the same ground, and there has been
no actual duplication OF the fed
work. But under the provisions OF the
revised statutes, sections All and 432,
the Navy has been for years surveying
in all parts of the world, and has been
issuing charts of Cuba, Porto Rico,
Gram, Hawaii and the Philippines,
while the Coast Survey has been Inn
ed to the shore line of the United
States. However, in 1898, the Coast
Survey published a chart of Cuba made
up from Spanish sources, which had
already been made avai.ab to the
Government and the people of the Unit
cd States in a Navy Department chart
years earlier.
ADou, .ue same time, and before the
Treasury Department had done any
81 rVeying in the West lad .es, the Coast
Survey chart No. 80 of the Island of
Porto Rice was published in practical
dup ication of Navy Department
chart No. l,00l, which has been on is
sue by the photographic Office since
1897 and had the latest information in
corporated INFO it; in tie same year,
and before the Treasury Department
had done any surveying in the Ha-
waiian Islands, Coast Survey chart No.
400 of the Hawaiian Islands was pub
lished, duplicating Navy department
chart No. l,36S, which had been issued
by the photographic Office since 1893;
and again in 1900, and without ever
having done any surveying Whatever
1t the Is and of Guam, the Coast Sur
vey republished in chart No. A 202 the
inf.rma ion that Is rep csc. ted in Navy
Department oh ri No. LAS. which the
photographic Office has been issuing
Since 1896, and which is now subject to
extensive altera ions found necessary
through recent naval surveys.
To avoid further dup tcarion. Con-
greSs will probably confine the onera-
Uns Of the Coast Survey to the Main
l'nd of the Ull,ed States. II has been
found that to enab the Colst Survey
10 do the work wi | compel the repair
of tire older vessels of the Coast Survey,
the tut ding or purchase of new ones
9rd large sums to man them, as the
work is essentially Ghipwcrk.
