REPORT OF BUREAU OF ORDNANCE.
Would Establish Torpedo Station at Key
West to Protect Panama Canal

Washington Dec. Portions of the annual re
port Of Rear Admiral y. E. Mason, chief of the
bureau Of ordnance, were made public at the Navy
Department to-day. The report, which points out
that American naval ordnance is on an equality with
foreign ordnance for the first time In many years
loses some value from the fact that it has been
deemed best 10 suppress much Of it that treats of
confidential subjects.
For the equipment Of the whole naval service with
rifles machine guns and ammunition of the latest
type, Admiral Mason urges an appropriation OF
S1.100Oe0.
Among the estimates for improvements under the
bureau Of ordnance is additional building at
the navy yard New York, for the storage of ord
nance material.
Regarding the naval station at Key West the re-
port states:
bureaus opinion renders the consideration OF the
esta Enlistment of torpedo depot at this station
urgent. Fleming Key belongs to the Navy Depart
lnent and no use has been made of 1t hitherto 1t
would form admirable site for torpedo depot
In case of war command of the sea for the protec-
