Secretary Long in His Annual Re-
port Recommends an Increase
I'm Ships and Sailors.
OUR RECENT EXPANSION REQUIRES II.
lie Places Emphasis on the Necessity
for More Line Men and More
Enlisted Men.
susgests the Revival of the Grade
of Vice Admiral and An In
crease In the Number
of Cadets.

Washington, Nov. 16.-The keynote
Of the annual report of Secretary
Long for 1901 is increase" and in
crease in both the number of ships
and the number of officers and sail
ors for the navy.
"The navy to-day" he says, ''is a
far greater factor in our relations
with the world than it was before
the recent national expansion, which
now includes Porto Rico. the Hawai-.
ian islands. the vast area of land and
sea in the Philippines, and our obli-
cations to Cuba. If we are to have
q navy at all, il must be commcn-
surate with these great extensions
greater in international than in ter
ritorial Importance"
The secretary's recommendation
for new construction based on the
report of the general board headed by
Adm. Dewey and that of the board of
construction is as follows:
Three frst-class battleships, two
6rst-class armored cruisers, three
gunboats, each of about 1000 tons
trial displacement; three gunboats,
each of about 200 tons trial displace-
ment, for insular service; three picket
boats, each of about $50 tons trial
displacement; three steel sailing
training ships, each of about 1000
tons trial displacement; one collier of
about $4,000 tons trial displacement; !;
four towboats.
All the vessels recommended in
these two reports, says Secretary
Long, are desirable in the prospective
and harmonious development of our
naval force, and larger increase
this year than usual is desirable be-
cause none were made last year.
The secretary places emphasis on
The necessity for more line officers
and more enlisted men. He recon-
mcnds that the number of lieutenants
be increased from 800 to $50, and that
the limit of the number of junior
lieutenants and ensigns be placed at
GOO. AS to the enlisted men, he rec
ommends that that force be increased
by 5000 men.
Another pressing need set out in
The secretary's report is that for a
national naval reserve, which was so
strongly advocated by President
Roosevelt when he was assistant sec
retary of the navy.
In connection with the subject of
naval personnel, Secretary Long
makes a number of important recon-
mendations as follows: The revival
of the grade of vice admiral, an in
crease of so per cent. in the number
of cadets at the naval academy, an
increase of the marine corps by $50
men. increase in the corps of naval
constructors and of civil engineers,
and no further appointments to the
Office of professor of mathematics
