 Formidable Gums - Unexpectedly
 Rapid Progress on Submarine Fleet
 Fleet to be Prepared for War.
 London, Feb 21-The secretary of the
 admiralty, H. o. Arnold-Forster, intro
 duced the naval estimates for 19o2-0S in the House of Commons to-day They
 show total of e31 ,255 000, as compared with e30 S75, 900 last year, an increase | of $1 ,905 1000. During the course of an
 accompanying statement MT. Arnold 1 Forster remarked that no thinking man could have anticipated any reduction of the estimates of last year in view of the fact that the army was engaged in a difficult conflict seven thousand miles away
 | In regard to the naval reserve the l secretary of the admiralty said the gov ernment had discovered that there were | legal objections to the engagement of men in Newfoundland. The movement lfWould, therefore, be temporarily arrest ed, but legislation would be introduced legalizing the engagement of men in every part of the empire. The secretary further announced that promotion in the engineering depart ment would be accelerated by the crea- tion of ten new posts He also said that the progress of naval construction during the last year had been unparal- leled
 The present estimates. said the secre- tary, gave the government G15,0OO,OOO for new ships, and it was intended to spend the money. No fewer than for ty-nine ships would be put in the wa ter during the present year. and next year there would be under construction sixty ships in addition to twenty seven others that would be laid down. Be- sides this large programme of recon- struction would be undertaken, thereby adding greatly to the fighting power of the fleet. Guns of more formidable cal ibre would be mounted on many vessels anu SlN-lHCn guns Ol lllt ldlHSL ana | most improved type would replace the AT guns.
 Referring to the smaller craft, the | secretary said that unexpectedly rapid | progress was being made with the sllb- marine fleet and that more vessels | would be added to this fleet. A new type of torpedo-boat destroyer had | been designed and it was hoped to at tain better results that in the case of the existing vessels.
 After giving further details of the ad- programme the secretary con- cluded with remarking that what the was determined on was to prepare the fleet for war, preparation for that day of trial which it was hoped would never come, but against which the admiralty was in duty bound to provide.

ROOSEVELTS LEAVE GROT0N
STARTED UNEXPECTEDLY FOR
 WARRINGTON YESTERDAY.
Feared They Might be storm-Boumd If They Delayed Their Departure-Dr. Rixey Says Young Theodore is Strong Passed Through New Haven on the Federal Express.

Groton, Mass, Feb. 21.-Theodore
 Roosevelt, jr., who has been ill with
 pneumonia for two weeks Tn the Groton
 school infirmary, is bound fol Washing ton tonight Bundled to his eyes with
 blankets, he was taken in a covered
 sleigh from the infirmary to the special
 train which had been in readiness at
 the Groton station for several days.
 The train left at 4:45. The lad was ac-
 companied by Mrs. Roosevelt and Dr.
 P. M. Rixey. while in another convey
 ance was Miss Roosevelt. Dr. RiXey said the lad was strong enough to stand
 the trip. A light snow was falling at
 the time. The departure of the party was so unexpected that not dozen persons were on the station platform when the train pulled out. The decision to leave was made at noon, as it was feared that the storm raging here might interfere if the party delayed the de- parture until tomorrow. The arrange ments for the departure were identical with those made for President Roose- velt's return trip to Washington. The party occupied the private car Convoy, and the intention was to have it taken through to Providence and there at tached to the Federal express
 Worcester, Mass, Feb. 21.-Theodore Roosevelt, jr., in charge of his mother, his sister, Miss Alice Roosevelt, and Dr. P. M. Rixey, en route to Washington, arrived in Worcester from Groton on special train over the Boston and Maine road at 5:30 p. m. and the party was switched onto the tracks of the New York, New Haven and Hartford rail- road, over which 1t will proceed at 6:10 p. m. to Providence, where it will take the Federal express for Washington
 pr. Rixey informed a representative of the Associated Press that the boy is standing the journey very well, as the car is perfectly comfortable A large crowd was at the Union station to see the members of the party, but pr. Rix- ey was the only one who showed him. self, as the members of the Roosevelt party drew the curtains to conceal themselves from gaze of the throng.
 Providence Feb. 21-The regular train from Worcester to which the spe- cial car Convoy, bearing the Roosevelt party, was attached, arrived here on schedule time, notwithstanding the 1eavy snowstorm. The sick boy was in 10 way distressed because of the jour ley and is comfortable. The Convoy vas set off on siding in the Union sta ion until it was attached to the rear of he Federal express, which left for at S:21.

 Securing Consent of Other GoveFn-
 ments Interested Germany Told That
 Britain Wishes Her to Know That She
 Has Misunderstood PauncefOte's
 Action.
 Berlin, Feb. 21-Lord Lansdowne, the British secretary of state for foreign affairs, has informed Baron Von Richt- hofen, secretary of the German minis try for foreign affairs, that the British government has taken note of the pub licaton by Germany of the despatch from Dr. Von Holleben, the German ambassador to the United States, con- cerning the meeting of ambassadors held in Washington April 14 1898, with out following the usual procedure of obtaining the consent of the other gov ernments interested.
 Lord Lansdowne and the British gov ernment desire Germany to know that it has misunderst ood the action of Lord Pauncefote, the British ambassador to the United States, in the meeting of April IA, 1898. Lord Pauncefote's part in that meeting was simply that of the senior member of the diplomatic corps, and nothing that he did was prompted by unfriendliness to the United States.
 Baron Won Richthofen has not yet replied to Lord Lansdowne's despatch, of which the foregoing is the substance. The indications are that Germany in it's reply thereto will point out that the British foreign office first gave infor nation to the press, coincident with the first speech of Lord Cranborne, the British under secretary for foreign af fairs. The German foreign office is seeming " taking cognizance of the official Brit sh statement given to the Associated 1 Press January 21 last, that Germany, 1 Russia and France supported the ef- i 'ort of Austria to persuade Great Brit | ain to join in European intervention.
