WIDOWS PENSIONS
President Backs HObson FOE -Four
Battleships.

Batfleships.
WASHINGTON. April l5.-The ex-
pected fight in the house over the
question whether there shall be two
or four battleships authorized for the
coming year did not materialize to-
day while the naval appropriation
bill was under consideration.
Instead. most of the session was
devoted to a lively debate In regard
to the naval stations in the Philip
pine islands. The supporters of the
Subig bay, led by Messrs. Foss and
Hobson, were victorious, despite Wig
orous opposition from both sides OF
the chamber. Accordingly, the sum
OF 100000 as recommended by the
committee for improving and devel-
oping the naval station at olongapo.
Subig bay, was allowed to stand.
In the course of the discussion in
the house of the provision for forth
flying Subig bay. Representative Hob
son quoted a telephone message from
Admiral Dewey. saying:
ut is Subig bay now and forever If
we are to have a naval base"
Mr.. Foss declared that Admiral
Dewey and other naval authorities
were all agreed that Subig bay, on
account of its depth of water, was the
proper pla e for the permanent sta
ton.
I'm the final analysis" said Mr..
Foss, amid applause, "it will be the
navy that will defend the army, it
will be the navy that will keep our
flag aloft in the sky all over the
Philippines.
II, he said, the United States con-
trolled the sea, no invading army
would ever come TO the Philippines.
A special message from President
Roosevelt urging four battleships
was read and ELECTED loud applause
from the advocates of the PROPOSE
ton.
The naval bill was not concluded
when the house at sos took a recess
until 1880 tomorrow.
