ADMIRAL CONVERSE REPORTS.
Yankee Ships Compare Well With
Those Of Any Other Navy.

Washington, Feb. 9.-Rear Admiral
George a. Converse submitted Satur-
day to Sec. Metcalf a report upon the
results OF his investigations into The
recently published criticisms of the de-
signs of American naval vessels.
Admiral Converse's report is long
document for he has felt bound to take
up and answer in detail every charge.
Its contents doubtless will not be made
public until the President has read the
report, if then. 1t may be said, how
ever, that the report undertakes 20
demonstrate as clearly as figures, COM
parsons of foreign navies and
scale drawings can establish the fact.
that the fighting ships of the American
navy were, at the date of their design,
the best ships in the world of their
class, and that they are today compar-
able on even terms with the ships of
any other navy.
The report declares that everything
that human forethought on the part
Of highly trained naval officers could
do t. insure this result is shown TO
have been done by the veteran naval
officers both line and staff, who per-
fected the designs for the vessels of
the new navy.
Few, if any. of the objections which
have been found by latter day critics
were unknown to the designers Of the
ships, VINO considered them while the
plans were being prepared, which 1t is
said, represented the necessary COM
promise between extreme views OF
different schools of construction.
