CAPT. r. P. HoBsON, who sunk the
collier Metrimac to block the harbor
OF Santiago, but which did not blockade
and who afterwards become "hero"
by kissing northern and western girls,
made plea in New York on Tuesday
night for the enlargement OF the navy.
He declared that among the new re-
sponsbllitles oithe United States is the
extension of the Monroe doctrine to
cover China and this can be done only by
increase of the naval force. THE
Monroe doctrine" said he, "has al
ready been extended to cover the Phil
