Sent on Presidents Recommendation
10 Assist In Defending Manila Har-

TO Assist In Defending Manila Hnr-
Dor.
Washington, Feb. 29.-Two subma-
rlnes, the Shark and the Porpoise,
will be shipped on board the Caesar
next week for San Francisco, where
with the Grampus and the Pike, they
will be forwarded to Manila.
No intlmatlon Of the future move
ments Of the submarines are given
at the navy department. except that
their presence is desired at the Phil
lppines, and that there has been for
some tine plan under way to take
them there. 1t is believed they will
be Joined later by oteher submarines
and possibly war vessels and other
craft.
II Is understood President Roose-
welt suggested that a small fleet Of
submarines be dispatched to the Phil
ippines, where they could materially
aid In defending the harbor Of Manila.
Mining OF Manila bay has not proved
successful, owing to the swift current,
and army engineers have added a
voice in favor of having a small fleet
on hand before the new defense plan
Of the islands is well under way.
The submarines probably will not
accomplish any part OF the journey
under their own power, but win be
taken aboard Golfers from San Fran
cisco after they shall have reached
that port.
