like a thunderclap. The storm has cleared
the air and the fleet Is once more TO be
brought UP to effective strength.
The officers Of the Mediterranean fleet
have lately been occupied in maneuvers at
Pollenza Bay. in Majorca. One Of the les
sons Of the evolutions was the need of more
torpedo destroyers to meet the swarm of
the mosquito fleet which would be brought
into play by the French in the Mediter-
ranean should occasion arise. The British
Mediterranean fleet has hitherto possessed
Is destroyers but four Of these are at pres
ent, owing to incurable defects and a coll
fision. placed hors de combat. According
10 an estimate framed by an officer of the
fleet, the very smallest number of destroy
ers required on the station to insure safe
ty is fifty-four. allotted as follows: Six
teen to cover fleet, eight to cover flank
or watch Algerian coast. eight for cruz
sers squadron. eight to watch the OAR
denelles. eight at Gibraltar. six in re-
serve.
1t must be remembered that during the
early part Of the South African war a sys-
tenn Of patrols was established between
Portsmouth, Gibraltar and the Cape, and
several ships were withdrawn from the
Mediterranean fleet to furnish this service.
To give greater emphasis to the outcry
of the British Mediterranean officers.
France has latterly concentrated an over
whelming naval force at Gibraltar by
mobilizing the Brest Squadron and effect
ing its junction with the Toulon deet under
Admiral Servasis.

Manila, July 3.-Congressman Hull OF Iowa,
who accompanied General Chaffee on his
southern tour, characterizes the newly es-
tablished provincial governments as not
house plants, unable to Withstand ADVERSE
ties" He said to the correspondent OF the
Associated Press that there will be many
difficulties under the dual civil-military
government which will be fnaugurated to-
morrow. Mr.. Hull believes that their nat
ural richness insures the eventual prosper
ity of the islands, but he Is convinced. from
conversation with the Governors and army
officers that in the new Southern Province
poverty and other obstacles will prevent the
successful collection of land taxes. He be-
lieves that the salaries. excepting those OF
the clerks and minor employees, are too high,
from the Commissioners downward. and
that the Provinces ought to have far larger
areas and fewer officers. The United States
Commissioners agree with this. but have de-
ferred to the wishes Of the inhabitants.
Mr.. Hull approves Of the provincial laws
but Is of the opinion that the bulk OF the
territory should be under military govern
ment until absolutely pacified and cleared OF
ladrones. He is convinced that the natives
in general are not concerned about the gov
eminent.
These views are typically those Of the gen.
erality Of army officers. The American
civilians, as rule. are not inclined to await
fair trial of the experiment Of partial self
government, and neither the natives nor the
army officers are In favor OF any removals
of troops.

London. July 3-During the debate to-day
In the House of Commons on naval esti-
mates the Cabinet Ministers were heckled
on all sides regarding the condition Of the
navy.
It was asserted that the British Mediter-
ranean fleet was specially inadequate TO
meet the French and Russian squadrons,
saying that it was undermined and une-
quipped. especially with modern guns; that
It lacked Golfers, and that the coal depotS
were all exposed to an enemy'S fire.
The members generally predicted that, in
case Of war. the Admiralty would break
down as completely as the War Office did
p. o. Arnold-Forster, Secretary to the
Admiralty. in replying. referred to the great
demand on the Admiralty for services in
South Africa and China, and promised to
strengthen the Mediterranean fleet when
new battleships were available and to add
to the feet cruisers and torpedo-boat de-
stroyers.
Reused by the stand made by Lord
Charles Beresford, Rear Admiral OF the
Mediterranean feet. and the unanimous
opinion OF the officers of the squadron. the
British Admiralty has conceded the main
points put forward by its critics.
John Bell awoke to the fact that while
he was thinking OF army reform and the
reorganization OF the War Office. his first
line Of defense was in danger OF getting
out OF gear. As the Mediterranean fleet Is

heart Lord Beresford's disclosures came
