INCREASE OF THE NAVY.
General Board Recommends Nm
Ships to Cost 81 300 900.

Washington, Nov. 9.-Three battleshfps a.,
scout cruisers. six torpedo boat destroyers sir
torpedo boats and two squadron Golfers. az an
aggregate maximum cost of S41.3OocOO is the
building programme which the General Board ~
the Navy has recommended the Secretary of tia
Navy to urge Congress to authorize al its nez
session. Secretary Morton will refer the recon-
mendations to the board of construction for
comment and Endorsement. and will base his
recommendation to Congress on the reports OF
the two boards. The General Boards recon-,
mendations are s.gned by Admiral Dewey. its
president.
Homogeneity is earnestly urged by the board
as the great need of the navy. Partly for this
reason and partly because Of the general com
mendation at home and abroad Of the latest
type OF American battleship. the board suggests
that the battleships shall be OF the general
type of the Connecticut class. This would give
the navy nine frst-class battieships OF 1900
tons displacement each. The board estimates
that the complete cost OF each Of the new bat
tleships when ready for will not exceed
SSO0OOOo making a total Of S24.o1c,0O0 recon-
mended for new battleships.
Great speed is urged as the feature OF ths
five scout cruisers recommended Two million
dollars is the estimated limit OF cost Of each OF
these ships In character they will follow the
general lines OF the Chester. the Birmingham
and the Salem, authorized by the last Congress
which have a displacement of 1000 tons
The board thinks the six torpedo boat ds
stroyers and six torpedo boats recommended
should have greater size and seaworthiness than
previously built vessels Of the class
The board desires that the new destroyers
shall be so constructed that they can make long
cruises with the DactleShlps without need OF
repairs and can travel with ease in rough sea,
even if this necessitates a reduction OF speed
The new Golfers asked for probably viii have
a displacement of L. 500 tons and a speed.of
about sixteen knots, which would enable them
to keep up with the haJtleshtp squadron az
cruising speed
Ii is believed that the recommendations OF the
General Board in the main will receive the n
dorsement of the Board Construction, and
finally that of the Secretary. Mr.. Morton, how
ever, will probably not announce his final rec
concentrations for the increase of the navy until
he can confer with leading members OF the
Senate and House mathematics and be able
to get some idea OF the amount OF the appro2ria-
ton Congress is likely TO authorize for the in
crease of the navy this year.
