PLANS TO INCREASE NAVY.
Recommendations of the Board of
 Naval Construction.

Washington. Nov. 1.--Over and above the four warships for which Congress directed him last session to prepare plans as a basis for appropriation at the next session, Secretary Long has before him the recommendations of the Board of Ma val Construction, looking to authoriza- ton by Congress of the building of forty more naval vessels of all classes, from battleships down to tug boats.
 The plans for the two armored cruisers and two battleships, projected by Con- gress last session, already have been pre- pared and look to the construction or about 16,000-ton battleships and 14OOO-ton cruisers The battleships and cruisers, additional to these which the construc- ton board proposes, probably will be about the same size and general type.
 The boards complete plan is: Three sea going battleships of about 16,000 tons displacement; two armorec cruisers Of about 14,500 tons displacement; six gum boats of about 1.200 tons; six gunboats of about 600 tons: six gunboats of about POD tons: two colliers of about 15,000 tons; one repair ship of about 7,500 tons; six training ships of about 2,000 tons; four picket boats of about $50 tons; four tug boats.
 While the above appears to be start ling amount of naval construction to rec ommend to Congress. 1t is stated that if the plans proposed are carried out. the symmetrical navy finally provided would be very much more effective than the more numerous navies of several of the European States.

a copy of 1t to take back to the Admiral. as there was, in my opinion. very valua- ble information in it. Simpson and my self went to the executive officers office and he read the notes over. He had the executive officers writer make a copy for me to take back to the Admiral, as valuable information. He had just come out from making his report to the com mander or the flying squadron. That as quoted in the appendix is an exact copy of Simpsons boarding report to the com mander-in-chief of the flying squadron.
 Lieutenant Hood said he had not board ed the Adula and that the notes which he had carried back to the Dolphin were those made by Lieutenant Simpson, hence 1t was Lieutenant Simpson and not him. self who had boarded the British ship. Lieutenant Hood was then excused and Captain Lemly stated he had 'one more witness he desired to call on Monday, owing to the fact that he was too ill to appear today. It was also stated that Admiral Schley would again take the stand to correct his testimony. MT. Raynor said he would have no witnesses except possibly the Admiral himself.
 There being no further business before the court an adjournment was taken at 12:45 until Monday at II a. m.

 n1le to Smallpox

Washington, Oct. 3l.-The Navy De- partment has made public the following extract from a mail report received un- der date of October 21, from Captain Thomas Perry of the battleship Iowa, which has been lying at Panama, watch ing the progress of affairs in that quarter:
 T have the honor to report that at this moment activities are taking place on the part of the insurgents who have until recently been in the neighborhood of Chorrera.
 "On Saturday October IS. it was report ed that Chorrera had been evacuated by the insurgents and that several hundred of them had marched from there toward Empire, a station on the Panama Rail- road, about twelve miles from Panama The government sent force of about 150 men by rail from Panama. said to be destined for Empire and Culebra.
 Insurgents were seen on Sunday, Octo- Der 20 in small numbers in the hills west of and near Panama.
 Ut is said this movement on the part of the insurgents has been forced upon them before they were ready by the prevalence of smallpox in their camp at Chorrera, the disease so decimating their numbers that they were obliged to go to save their entire force from becoming hors du combat"
