GERMANY's NAVAL PLANS.

The naval programme of Germany
of i 900, which provided for a gradual
increase of battleships, armored cruis-
ers. cruisers and torpedo boats UP to
1916, has been far exceeded. So far
thirty-one of the thirty-eight battle
ships stipulated are now in commits
sion or launched and four are build
ing. Ten of the eighteen armored
cruisers are completed and two are
under construction. OF the proposed
thirty-eight cruisers, thirty are
launched, one is building and two are
included in the present years esti-
mates. The torpedo boat divisions are
also ahead of the programme. With
the increase of ships the personnel has
likewise been augmented and the sew
eral navy yards improved with dock
ing, building and repairing facilities to
meet the requirements of the navy
afloat.
During 1903 the German navy was
increased by ten vessels, comprising
three battleshiDs, four cruisers and
three gunboats.
The French armored cruiser Gloire,
$3.50 tons and 20,500 horsepower, ex-
ceeded her calculated speed OF 81
knots by one-half knot and consumed
only 1876 pounds of coal per unit
of horsepower. On January % she
made her trial under natural draught,
developing IA, 400 horsepower and 49, 8
knots speed on a coal consumption of
II pounds per unit of horsepower

VAR VIEWS OF EXPERTS.
Theory of Russian Trap for Japan
csc Not Yet abandoned.
[FRoM THE TRIBUNE BUREAU

Washington. May 2-The military experts are
still in a quandary over the situation which finds
the japanese established In the country OF their
enemy TO such profitable purpose gaining
possession OF forty fifty guns horses and
ammunition and the capture OF twenty officers
and many men" The japanese casualties are
reported as not exceeding seven hundred. while
those Of the Russians are reported, from infor-
nation furnished by a Russian officer captured
by the japanese. as exceeding eight hundred.
The experts who have been entertaining the
theory of a Russian trap for the Japanese in
vaders in ManchUria say the events described in
to-day's dispatches from Toxic may be &C
cepted as sustaining this view
We have the account Of the Russian retreat
toward -Wang-Cheng and the japanese oc-
Cupation of Kulien- Cheng. described the key
of the Russian position on the right bank OF the
YaIu.' said an army officer to-day at the War
Department. we do not know exactly what
resistance the japanese met in their advance
on this supposed Russian stronghold. l find
myself I'm the frame Of mind Of the late Gen
eral Sheridan, who always refrained from Civ
ing opinion ON such occasions this until
he could learn the list Of the dead and wounded.
The vital statistics viii count for much IN
irving at estimate Of the value and signid-
canoe OF the latest developments. II the Rus
SLAMS have suffered severe losses, it will indi
cate real resistance TO the Japanese, who must
then be credited with gaining their position de-
spite Russian obstruction. But II the losses
are what might he termed casual We must feel
that there IS stilI life in the theory OF the Rus
stan trap II comes back to the question Of the
casualty returns. This Russian retreat means
one Of TWO things. Of course. Either they have
suffered the first defeat in the collision on land
or they are encouraging the Japanese TO take
up a position which in the end will give the
Russians the advantage. II remains TO be seen
whether the Russians will strengthen their
force in the Yalu section and drive the Japanese
back into Corea. II this is done promptly II
win show that the Russians have no present
purpose Of permitting, much less desiring. the
japanese to Invade Manchuria."
