THE NAVAL STATION.
Charleston TO Have One OF the Finest
in the WorId-May Take Several
Years to ComnIete II,


Washington, April 12-As soon as At
torney General Knox passes upon the gov
ernment's title to the site for the new
naval station at Charleston. the work of
construction will be commenced. Rear
Admiral Endlcott is anxious to commence
active operations, and he is very well
satisfied with the terms he has made with
the authorities in Charleston and also
the owners Of the Lawton property.
In discussing the subject with your cor
respondent. Rear Admiral Endicott re-
marked that it may take two or three
weeks or perhaps a month for the legal
papers in the transaction to be drawn and
recorded In the meantime plans for the
construction of first class naval estab-
lishment will be prepared so that there
shall be no delay in getting the work
started.
The Admiral was asked if the buildings
and equipment belonging to the govern
ment now at Port Royal would be taken
down and removed to Charleston. In re-
ply he said: THAT is a question yet to
he determined. The Secretary of the Navy
ard the chief of the Bureau of Naviga-
ton, Rear Admiral Crowninsheld, have
urder consideration a proposition to es-
tablish naval training station at Port
Royal. In that event, the government
buildings will be used for that purpose 4"
Would the establishment of a naval
training station at Port Royal prevent
a similar station being established on
Blythe Island IN Brunswick harbor? IT
will be remembered, Admiral, that at the
last session of Congress, through the eff
forts of Representative Brantley of the
Brunswick district, the Secretary of the
Navy was authorized to inquire into the
governments title to Blythe Island with
a view to establishing a naval training
station for seamen there"
"Oh, yes" replied the Admiral to my
question. IF the Secretary concludes to
use Port Royal as the training station, he
will hardly feel justified in establishing
similar station at Brunswick. How
ever, that is a subject which is now un-
der consideration and will be determined
later on. At present l am interested in
having the title to the Charleston site
cleared, and approved, so we may be able
The Savannah morning news., 1901-04-13

to push forward the work on the new dry
dock. 1t is our intention to begin opera
tons on the dry dock first The navy is
greatly in need of a modern dry dock
with a capacity for accommodating the
largest battleships I'm the service. Such
dock we intend to construct at Charles
ton. Although the plans have not yet
been completed, we have a pretty clear
idea of what we desire. While the legal
proceedings relative to the transfer of title
are going on, We will frame specifications
and prepare plans so that there shall
be no delay i'm advertising for proposals
for the construction of the dock. ] am
not prepared now to give detailed de-
scription Of the proposed dock, but | will
say that we expect to build one of the
largest and best equipped docks in the
world at Charleston We will bend all
our efforts to have It completed and
ready for service with as little delay as
possible even if some other branches of
the naval station have to be delayed.
While the work on the dock is i'm prog
ress, we will have to build wharves and
dock slips and provide other facilities for
the ships, which will be coming in as
soon as the dock is completed. The first
and most important building to be erected
on the site will be that used by the bu-
reau of steam engineering. Headquar-
teTs for the commandant and such other
buildings as may be necessary for the
transaction of the business of the sta
ton will follow as soon as practicable
1t may require several years to complete
the station in accordance with our pres
ent intentions. 1t is impossible to esti-
mate what amount of money will be re-
quired to create such an establishment as
the department now thinks should be es-
tablished at Charleston. We believe we
have acted wisely in the selection of
Charleston, and If our expectations are
realized we propose to locate there one
of the finest and best equipped naval sta
tiops In the world 4"

ACCIDENT TO THE THORNTON.
Boiler Gave Out ON Torpedo Boats
Trial Trip.

Washington, April 12-Secretary Long
received dispatch this evening from
Commander Hemphill stating that the
torpedo boat Thornton had been put on
her trial over the Barren Island course,
and ran about As minutes at a speed of
26.5 knots when the forward boiler gave
out. He adds that no one was hurt.
The contract requires continuous run of
two hours at speed of 26 knots per
hour, so that the trial to-day while, de-
veloping good speed for a short distance,
was not sufficient. The inspection board
will return to Washington, which is TAX
en- to indicate that considerable repairs
will be necessary before another trial
can be had.
