An engineering triumph will be the

Ecuador. The bridging of the ra-
vines in the Andes presented many
difficult problems, all of which were
solved by American genius and enter

ANOTHER TRIAL.
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.


CALL BUREAU, POST BUILDING,
WASHINGTON. July 81. President
Roosevelt has ordered that instruction
in jiu-j -jitsu. the Japanese art of self
defense, be continued at the United
States Naval Academy for another year.
Japanese instructors in this exercise
were employed at Annapolis in the fall
of 1904 during the administration of
Rear Admiral Brownson as superin-
tendent. Rear Admiral Sands. who be-
came superintendent, told the naval
commission of the House last winter
that he did not consider jiu- jitsu espe-
cially valuable. 1t was evident from
his remarks that he would have liked
to see it dropped.
President Roosevelt. who had per-
sonally investigated jiu-jitsu to the
extent of once putting a professional
wrestler against a Japanese expert,
desires to give it a more thorough trial.
