TORPEDO BOATS

The reports OF the serious defects dis
covered in the large fleet of destroyers
and torpedo boats building for the navy,
which appeared in one instance under the
scare headlines, Twenty eight Torpedo

ored literature said Rear Admiral Fran

Times last evening.
Mistakes Common to All Navies.
Il gave out statement TO reporter
on Saturday" continued Admiral Bowles.
''in regard to the general condition OF the
torpedo boats and destroyers now build
ing. Indicating that, in common with
other nations building high-speed torpedo
boats and destroyers, many difficulties are
| encountered, especially when the builders
| are inexperienced in this difficult class OF
shipbuildng.
THE boats already tried show that
some improvements could be made in the
| fittings to better adapt them for service,
and also to reduce their weight. In order
to take up these matters in a uniform
manner. The boats in process of construc-
tion were inspected by special beard
ordered by me, consisting of Constructor
Linnard and Lieut.. L. II. Chandler the
latter an expert in this particular line.
| Changes Ordered of Minor Nature.
las result of the inspection certain
| recommends TONS were made for altera-
| tions generally, but of a minor character,
| tending to better the efficiency, reduce the
| weight and also effect some increase in
| speed. The English Government has ex-
perienced the same difficulties as the
United States, in the construction Of its
/ torpedo boats and destroyers, while the
| contract price Said is one-third in excess
| OF that raid by the United States.
..Our shfpbuilders undertook to do
| something i'll which they had had no pre-
| vious experience and it is but natural
| that some difficulties would have to be
/ incurred.
| VIII BE an Effective Fleet.
AZ want it to be distinctly understood,
| however, that the torpedo boat destroy
| crs now building may be generally con-
| sfdered to have good prospects of being
| successful and useful boats, although they
may not attain the high standard origi-
| nally set"
The torpedo boats and destroyers refer
red to by Admiral Bowles, and their
builders, are as follows:
Bainbridge. Barry, and Chauncey, at

INNES' BAND CONCERTS.
Two Good Programmes Well Render
ed at the Columbia Theatre.

Randmastcr Innes shows an Improvement
in his concerts every time he visits Wash

concerts at The Columbia Theatre yester-
day is the very best thai Innes has ever
brought to the Capital, and his pro-
grammes. 100. sho' ed more of a regard
for the wishes OF MIS- patrons than ever
before. Innes has eschewed the playing
of marches for encores, as some of his
contemporaries do. After offering num-
Der OF works of Wagner, Bach -GounOd,
Rubinstcin, ana Meyer Helmund, he
vaults over the bars of classical music

The Innes organization presents a
greater. variety of instrumentalists, per-
hapz than any similar band. The reed
section IS as large as the ordinary, but
the hrasses lack the volume OF some other
bands. This deficiency, though, is more
than made NJ by the addition of harp,

Physicians Entertain Strong Hopes

The condition OF Mrs. Ada Gilbert Den

night. All day yesterday the patient held

couraged to the belief that she has a
chance 10 recover. 1t is stated, however,
thar she is not out OF danger.
The detectives still fail 10 discover any
trace OF the assailant OF Mrs. Dennis or a
motive for the crime. They are at work
on the case. but without apparent result
up to This time.
/; is still hoped that Airs. Dennis will
soon be able 10 make some statement, but
even ii she RECEIVERS there are doubts
whether her memory viii not be impaired.
and the murderouS assault may remain a
mystery. Physicians OF the patient do not
venture to predict.
1t is said if the Improvement in the pa

then probably become conscious. The
doctors attending Mrs. Dennis however,
will rot permit the patient to be ques-
toned again un.ii she gains strength.
This is because OF the relapse which
seemingly followed former attempts to
