Battleships Will Give Good Account of

Weather, He Declares.
NATION ABREAST OF PROGRESS.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. 17.-By
direction of the President, Secretary
Metcalf has made public the report of
Admiral Converse on the fighting ships
of the American navy, called forth by
many criticisms recently published in
magazines and otherwise This report
was prepared primarily to satisfy the
President as to the exact state of Amer
lean ships compared with those of other
naVieS, and its publication is authorized
with the design TO reaSSure the American
sailors as to the quality of the weapons
with which they must go into battle.
Admiral Converse characteriZes the
criticisms as prepared by persons whose
knowledge of the subjects discussed was
limited and Incorrect" There was, he
says, ample justification for the adoption
of the battleship designs which have
been followed.
1t is not claimed that mistakes have
not been made" he adds ''or that our
ships are without faults; but in view of
the then state of the art of battleship
building, this fact is not to be wondered
at. 1t IS remarkable that the mistakes
were SO few and that none were really
serious In this respect our record will
compare fayOraLly with that of foreign
services.
Good Material Used.

navy is inferior to none; in quantity of
vessels alone are we lacking. With an

efficiency, and when the stress of actual
combat, if such should unfortr~ atelv
come, brings the only really practical
test, our country need have no misgiv-
lngs or fear but that our battleships will
give an excellent account of themselves
and prove themselves all that we have
designed them for and know them to
be-"
Considerable space is devoted to a ref
utation of the criticism that American
fighting ships do not set as high out of
the water as those of foreign navies. 1t
is admitted by the admiral that the In
diana and the Kearsarge classes Nhe

question presents the choice of being

to be the policy of the American navy
TO always have our vessels armed bet
