what our navy should he.

The Naval Board of Construction has
recommended the building Of something
like forty new vessels for the navy.
These include three battleships and two
armorcd cruisers of the largest size
the most of the others being gunbuats
and auxiliary vessels Doubtless these
latter are all necessary Tor special serv-
ice. and are properly included i'm the
recommendation. But the great desid-
eratum is effective fighting ships. and
with reference 20 this class of vessels
we should have been glad to see the
board go further in its recommended
tioHs. We want the best Of such ships
and plenty Of them. No matter how
powerful a battleship or armored
cruiser may BE-. it is physically impos-
sible for her TO be i'm more than one
place at the same time. Hence the ne
cessity for an adequate number.
Moreover, if we are going 10 have a
navy at all. it should be fully able TO
take care Of itself in the face Of any
foe. It is Idle to talk of being content
with second or third place. We might
almost as well be in the fourth or fifth.
Unless our navy is strong enough to
meet the requirements of any emer-
Sency that may arise it would be bet
ter for us To have none. because our
comparatively weak force would simply
be an easy mark for a stronger enemy.
one Of the most taking pleas in favor
Of shipping subsidy is that it Will
crea a fine fleet of fast steamers.
when may be utilized in war as aux
HAIRY cruisers. The plea has but Iittle
me,it, Tor the reason that such vessels
can be obtained with comparative ease
anyway, besides which they are in no
sense strong and effective sea fighters.
The amount Of money called for by the
Hanna-Frye bill would build about
thirty frst-class battleships or armoTed
cruisers, and when such vessels are
constructed they will belong to the ne
ton as a whole. and be available for
the heavy work of actual war
There is no expenditure Of public
money that the American people will
regard with more favor than that
which may be required TO make the
navy of the United States the strong
est in the world. The Times will be
very glad to see the recommendations
Of the Board of Construction acted up
on promptly and if the general plan.
so far as il relates To the more power
full vessels. can be enlarged upon. we
shall be still better pleased. The ac-
cumulated surplus can be put TO no
more commcndable use than the build
ing Of navy which viii be equal 10
every possible need and commensurate
with the greatness IF the American Re
public.

Rrports From the rhiIipnine..

The reports from the Philippines are

increasing the army 81 will be reduced
by from seven thousand 20 twelve
thousand. while on the third comes the
information that two regiments Of fresh
troops are under orders for Manila.
Now we learn that the Philippine Com
