Senator Brandegee's opposition the Payne Philip

late Senator Platt on the Cuban Reciprocity bill.
This is a piece Of gross unfairness on your part.
as the slightest effort discover the facts in the
case would inform you that Senator OryiIe Il.
Platt was as much opposed 70 the reduction of 70
per cent from the Dingley rates on Philippine
tobacco and cigars as is Senator BrandeEee.

reduction comes from Secretary Taft, who told me
ana two other members OF our association of Sen

New York, March 10. 1906.
Mr. Blur lacks the knowledge which a man
In his circumstances needs to possess. The late
Senator Plat, Of Connecticut did not innedi-
ately form az opinion concerning the wisdom
and propriety of reducing the tariff on Philip
pine products. but with his characteristic sense
of public care. proceeded to acouaint himself
with the merits of the question. Before he died
he had reached a conclusion Numerically op-
posed TO the views now expressed by Senator
Brandegee and repUdiated by the Republicans

United States Should Haze Ships
Like DreadHOugRt.
IRON me Tnbune Buresu- !

Washington March 2O-AdmlraI Dewey presi-
dent OF the General Board OF the Navy. told the
House Committee on Naval Affairs to-day that
the United States should have at least one bat
teship equal 70 the 1S.OOO-ton English battIeship
Dreadnought No nation should exceed thu
United States in the power Of the individual
battIeship built, he said and American inventive
genius should lead the world I'm types Of naval
construction, as in other things Big guns and
big battleships were now the essential units
OF naval power.
In support OF this view Admiral Dewey cited
the policy the nations are following IN the build
ting Of large ships Japan. ne said, has. as
lesson OF the war, authorized the building Of a
battleship OF 1880 tons and two ships OF 5000
tons each, while Germany's naval programmes
contemplates the building of ships as large al
the Dreadnought-
Regarding the armament OF battIeships Ad-
miraI Dewey said that battles were not won by
broadside fire alone. The lesson had been learned
that batteries forward and att were tremendous
" effective, and ne believed that IN building
larger battIeships great strength would be added
by increasing these batteries. He asked the
committee 70 authorize two 1S.opi-ton battle
ships, with ten 12-inch guns each
On the subject OF torpedo boats Admiral
Dewey expressed the view that the programme
or the navy should be 20 build torpedo boat de-
strOyers. He also believed extensive expert
rnents with submarine boats should be made
In case OF attack by a foreign navy an American
harbOr OF supply would be necessary. and sub
marines in his opinion are admirably adapted
To prevent a foreign foe from gaining such q
supply harbOr. He does not favor additional
cruisers and armOred cruisers. but believes scout
ships should be built
The admiral said that batteships should NOT
be kept constantly in commission He would
have them rest in suitable harbors. where a
small crew could keep them I'm condition ThiH
would result In great saving 10 the machinery.
and crews could be trained satisfactorily

With Admiral DeweyS testimony to-day the
House Naval Affairs Committee began its first
real consideration OF the question whether bat
tleship appropriation should be made in ths
naval bill this year. The members OF the COM
mittee divided on the advisabilty OF report
ing appropriation. but the arguments OF Ad-
miraI Dewey and other naval officers 70 be heard
later will undoubtedly have great weight. and
there Is every indication that at least big
