10000 TON BATTLESHIPS
PROBABILITY OF NEAR FUTURE

Twenty Thousand ton battle-ships for
the United States Navy is a probability
that may be realized within the next
few years. Naval officers say THAT such
mammoth floating fortresSeS are sure to
come and Il step in this direction will in
all likelihood be taken this winter by
Congress by canceling the authorization
for two 1G.000-ton vessels, the Michigan
and South Carolina, and providing that
they be $4,000 tonners.
Work on these battle-ships has not vet
begun, so that no embarrassment would
be involved in the change which. it is
understood. will be recommended by the
general board and by Secretary Bona
parte At present no navy has ship of
10000 tons. but several including Great
Britain and Japan, have one or more
ships authorized of $4,000 tons or more.
BIG SHIPS DO THE DAMAGE.
The one great difficulty in the way of
making the Michigan and South Caro-
lima of $4,000 tons is THAT the homogene-
lily of the 16,00O-ton squadron now pro
yided for would he destroyed. Eight
battle ships constitute squadron, and
1t is desirable that they all be of the
same type. Five of the 16,0OO-ton type
have been launched. and one is now on
the stocks. If the tonnage of the re-
manning two authorized is increased. the
squadron would be left deficient if these
vessels should not form part of it,
while if they were assigned to it, the
fact that they outclassed the other battle
ships might prove source of embarrasss-
ment in actual warfare.

MIR. BONAPARTE ON THE LID.

Secretary Bomparte has not yet been
called upon to give official consideration
to the foregoing subject, us he will be
by the time Congress meets and the re-
ports of the General Board are before
him, but he is just now giving much
thought to keeping down the eNpendi-
lures in his department. For the year
1906 Congress appropriated Sll6.oOO,UO
for the naval establishment, which was
about two millions less than that ap-
p1Upliltcd for 1905. 1t is probable that
even with the closest pairing the cSti-
mates for 1907 will be as large as if they
do not exceed. the last appropriation. In
Guiding the civil establishment, they will
reach. PERHAPS between S11S.00O0OO
and 81 9.OOO.O00. Fifty per cent. of the
increase and % per cent. of the total
expenditures comes in the actual con-
Struction of new ships; % per cent. of
the increase is for the maintenance of the
extra personnel required for these ships
and 10 per cent. for the navy yard eX-
penfiturpcs in taking care of the vessels.
The navy yard expenditures in the last
year or two have not been as extensive
rs in previous years. and probably not as
large as they will have to be in the
course of the next few years.
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1905-11-18
MAY HAVE TO POSTPONE RE
FORMS.

Mr. Bonapante realizes THAT the addi-
TONS to the navy mean more eXpendi-
lures for maintenance, and. i'll order
that the total increase shall not he too
closely as it can be trimmed and the
chances are that a good many dcsir-
able reforms in the navy-yards may be
postponed; and while the civil establish
ment of the Navy Department needs "A
very material increase, it is questionable
whether, under the circumstances, very
much in this direction can be done. One
bureau in which a liberal policy should
be inaugurated were not the expenditures
along other lines not so large as that of
navigation. which has charge of the as
signmcnt of officers, men and ships. The
humber of enlisted men in the navy has
increased in n few years from 10000 to
80 GOO. vet the force that attends to the
work incident to their assignment is very
little larger than before.
