NAVAL CONSTRUCTION.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2l.-The annu-
al report Of Admiral Bowles. chief OF
the bureau OF construction and repair,
calls attention to the slow progress In
the construction Of the ships now
building for the navy made during the
past year owing to the strikes and de,
lays in the delivery of armor and steel
for9ings. The construction bureau, he
says, has made considerable progress
toward the Standardization of ship fit.
tings. which, he says, will reduce the
original cost of ships of the navy ana
decrease the expense Of their mainte-
nance.
Admiral Bowles strongly recommends
that the floating drydock at Havana,
recently purchased from the Spanish
government. be sent to the site OF the
new naval station at Olongapo, Philip
pine Islands, as soon us the repairs On
1t are completed. 1t is essential he
says, for the efficiency of the navy on
the Asiath station both from stratcg-
ical and economic standpoint that the
government shall be in possession Of a
drydock in the PHILIPPINES at the ear
liest possible moment. He says that
the dock just purchax,d can be placed
in condition for the Use of vessels up
to 10000 too displacement within the
limit of the sum appropriated by con-
gress for its requirement.
Admiral Bowes earnestly commeHds
an increase in the naval constructors,
who are now limited by law to forty.
This number he says, is entirely mad
equntc to the present needs Of the
service. and he urges that the limit OF
the corps be incren sed by congress to
sixty. He says that the efficiency hf
the new yard plants throughout the
country is largely limited by the iHsur-
ticient number of drydocks and modern
buildings for the equipment of the
yards.
Admiral Bowles says that the con
stYuction bureau has been taxed to its
utmost capacity by the work of design
ing new vessels and supervision of YES
sells now building and that these condi,
tons have been aggravated by a lack
of space in the navy department build
ings available for the technical and
clerical staff Of the bureau.
