GREAT FUTURE ASSURED
HE AMERICAN NAVY
Congress Disposed to Grant
Abundant Funds.
THE VALUE OF MANEUVERS
Secretary Moody Would Increase Mum
Der of Officers and Enlarge Liber-
ties of Enlisted Men.

In 1903 the division of the navy into
squadrons and fleets and the creation Of
new squadrons has been effected. The
result has been gratifying With an in
crease in the number OF ships the di-
vision viii be further continued, and in
the Pacific the organization will be
brought about much after the manner in
which the vessels in Atlantic waters
have been grouped.
The taking over Of the coaling station
pun chased from Cuba was probably the
NEST notable event Of 1905. IL is an i'm
p0rtant step in the strengthening OF the
navy in the South Atlantic. and affords
a center about which the United States
may build a navy in the region where
it is most needed.
The Joint Maneuvers.
Joint army and naval maneuvers at
Portland and the coming maneuvers off
Culebra are important events in the his
tory OF American naval development
Similar maneuvers are to be held in
Asiatic waters as soon as ii is possible
to perfect the feet and squadron or
S3nization I'm the East
rive battleships. two scout ships, and
q supply ship viii probably be the new
vessels sought this year. Congress IS
disposed TO grant abundant funds for an
increase CT the navy. and funds for
these vessels will doubtless be provided.
More ofcers Needed.
IN discussing the future of the navy
Secretary Moody said:
THE great work yet before as is to
perfect this feet and squadron organi-
cation: 10 perfect their mobility; 10 OBJ
tain more officers in order to give rest
to the present hard-wOrlSed and scanty
number: 10 perfect the system Of mess
ing aboard ship for che enlisted men
TO enlarge still further their liberty
ashore; To train them for higher ratings
in the navy; to encourage their athletic
sports and in every other way to pro-
mote their efficiency and decrease deser-
lions. 70 educate successfully the in
creased number Of midsh ipmen ut the
Naval Academy. and. in a general way
10 keep the whole fleet ia that condition
Of readiness and preparedness for war
which is at all times the surest guar
antee Of unbroken peace"

Japanese sources indicate that the
troops on 10th sides are jaded and
weary after the many days fighting.
and 1t Is pointed out that in conse-
quence @ temporary lull in the active
struggle would not be surprising. A
dispatch received at Toxic says that
great fires are raging at Liao Yang,
believed to result from the Japanese
Smelling or from the efforts of Russians
to destroy their stores preparatory to
the evacuation Of Liao Yang with the
additional hope Of injuring the city
as future japanese base"
Opinion prevails in the Japaness
capital that the Russian casualties in
the recent fighting will reach 80, 600
while the Russian losses OF Aug. 2I
and Sept. are given in official reports
as 5000 killed or wounded. The re.
port from Marshal Oyama that he
was engaged On Thursday with the
Russian centre would indicate that at
least a portion Of Kuropatkin's army
was still on the south bank of the
river. 1t Is not yet definitely stated
that the Japanese have occupied
LiaO Yang.
