A GUNBOAT FOR LIBERIA.
Attention of Secretary Long Called to
m Old Act of COnErean.

Attention of Secretary Long Called to
an Old Act of Congress.
Mr.. w. B. Matchett Of this city, repre-
senting the government Of Liberia, called
on Secretary Long at the Navy Department
today and made formal request that the
action of Congress as embodied in the act
of April II, 1866, providing for the relief Of
Liberia, be carried into effect. That act,
which was introduced in Congress by Sen
ator Sumner and Representative Banks of
Massachusetts, provided for the transfer to
the government Of Liberia any one Of the
gunboats Of the United States navy accep-
table to the government Of Liberia which
in the opinion of the Secretary of the Navy
could be conveniently spared for that pur-
pose.
The Secretary was empowered to enter
into contract with representative of
the Liberian government for the sale of
the vessel to Liberia at valuation to be
fixed by the Secretary. The sum was to be
paid In ten annual installments.
Nothing was done in connection with this
legislation until President Cleveland came
into power, when Secretary Herbert of the
Navy Depa set aside the old wooden
warship Swatara for the use of the Libe-
rian government.
From one cause and another, however,
the order for the transfer. of the vessel
was never carried into effect and subse-
quently the vessel was condemned as unfit
for further naval service and sold to the
highest bidder. 1t Is said Liberia wanted
the vessel gift and was unable to pay
for it.
The proposition now made by Mr.
Matchett is that the Navy Department set
aside another vessel on the same condi-
tions to take the place of the Swatara,
promising In case the department takes
favorable action to produce the necessary
credentials from the Iiberian government,
including an official receipt for the vessel.
Secretary Long said that he was not IA
miliar with the subject and consequently
was not prepared to state offhand what
could or would be done in the premises He
requested Mr. Matchett to put his request
in writing in which event the matter would
receive due consideration.
