NEW NAVAL, AUXILIARY sCHEME.-Oficers
Of the Naval General Board having been giving
consideration to the requirement of pending law
that ell naval and military supplies shipped ABROAD
must transported in American bottoms regard
less OF cost, the provision has an intimate anu
vital relation TO naval strategy, in that II inter
feres with the prompt delivery Of materials Tor
vessels the foreign stations 1t me ans. too, an
expense of something like $4,000 a year beyond
the present cost Of shipping coal under the Navy
Department Most naval officers find fault with the
system because it not only interferes with the de-
livery Of material but ADDS unduly 10 the annual
appropriation for naval maintenance without CIV
ing anything IN return for the outlay. Such officers
believe that the ends would be served better. so
far as their service is concerned. II there was a
subsidy for the development of the American ma
rine and naval plans and necessities were not
jeopardized. as is the case under law such as is
proposed The members of the general board who
have given consideration the matter that
il might possible to encourage domestic shipping
interests by providing IT the bills for naval re
serve aud naval militia the payment of wages to
members OF those organizations employed on
American ships This. they say. would be ar i'm
portant help toward defraying the expense of main
tenance and ought relieve the government of the
excessive exactons Of the proposed law restricting
shipments Of naval and military supplies Steam
ship men who have been consulted say that the
item of wages IS a small one AID is not much OF
an inducement. One Of those authorities on the
subject WHO consulted by the general board
this week said that on one Of his steams6iPs ply
last round TRIP meant expense OF $4,000 for coal
eIone IVA f,,riber resiriction on the method OF
shipping material for naval vessels on foreign sta
OF more than ordinary Importance.
