caused Mr.. Tnlman to make some in
uuiries. Mr.. Hale replied that the
Secretary OF the Navy had made esti-
Inmates for the purchase of the vessels
and stores on the recommendation of a
board of officers.
Mr. Tillman insisted, however, that
the record did not show where the
vessels came from and what had been
paid FOR them.
ut does not appear from the record, "
said he. that the money was honestly
expended. This whole business is en-
tirely too slipshod and slack-twisted
for an honest government"
1t was explained by Mr.. Hale that
the vessels were small craft acquired
probably from private parties and had
been converted into gunboats. They
were being used for patrol duty among
the islands.
Mr.. Bacon of Georgia Joined Mr.. Till
man in criticising the amendment be-
cause sufficiently definite information
regarding it had not been furnished.
He urged that the item be held up
temporarily, at least, as he was certain
the insular treasury was in no imme-
date need of the money. The amend
ment was adopted.
The bill was then passed and the
Senate, after an executive session, ad-
journed.

fles to DIR. Kuyper's strong sympathies
with the Transvaal and offers Mr.. Kru-
ger the writer's assistance and influ-
ence in forwarding the interests of Mr..
