THE TEXAS IN HARBOR
The First Battleship to Come Into
The Channe1-Centre Of
Attraction.

The battleship "Texas'' the flagship
of the coast squadron for the summer
cruise of the midshipmen arrived here
this morning from down the bay, and
steamed into the Annapolis harbor.
She is anchored off the Naval Acad-
envy and has the distinction of being
the first large ship TO enter the harbor.
which, since the deepening OF the
channel, is now thirty feet deep.
The Government has spent $50. 600
for deepening the channel and digging
out the Annapolis harbor so as to per-
nit large ships to enter and anchor of
the Naval Academy. Nearly year
was consumed in the work, which has
recently been completed. The entrance
of battleships into the harbor will
mean great deal to the Naval Acad-
envy. Stores and supplies for the
summer cruise and all necessary equip
ments of the midshipmen may now be
placed aboard these ships with ease
and despatch, whereas they had to be
carried formerly about five miles out
to the ships anchored in the Annapolis
Roads.
The close proximity of the ships to
the Naval Academy will also facilitate
the mails in their transmission to
same, and altogether will greatly aid
in naval movements. Besides, the
presence of these big battleships off
the Naval Academy will inspire the
midshipmen and enhance the military
spectacle of the Naval Academy. The
Texas draws about twenty-six or
twenty EIGHT feet of water. When she
came into harbor this morning she
was accompanied by the monitor Flor
ida, which draw about eighteen feet
of water. The Texas and kthe Florida
are anchored of the starboard quarter
OF the u. S. S. Santee, and both ships
have been objects of interest today to
visitors at the Naval Academy.
