ARMY AND NAVY NOTES
Establishment of Gulf NaUaI Station
Being Considered.
From The Tribune Bureau
VIC f1,ortA- na


GREAT c,TJIF NAVAL STATION.-One OF the
most important matters pending in the Navy De
partment is the establishment of new navy yard
on the Gulf Coast This is in anticipation OF the
counletion OF the Panama Canal. and II Is prop
lem whether the naval base and dock yard, to be
one of the largest country will be formed BY
the enlargement Of one OF the existing naval sta
lions or the creation Of q yard. Naval view
does not favor the location of yard at New Or
leans There is now a station at Algters, La
where there is floating dock. but there are DIM
entities in the way of river currents which seriously
interfere with easy and safe approach and depart
,,re Of large ships of Some OF the naval OFF,
GERS believe that great yard at Pensacola or Key
West Fla would be economical and efficient. Al
the former place there IS a navy yard and at the
latter place there coaling plant II the choice
is between the two. probably the selection Will be
hey West which has deep water. Some OF the
officers are inclined TO favor the development Of
the station at Guantanamo, Cuba, as being best
situated for strategical purposes It is considered
however that while Guantanamo would be avail
able for a dock yard and supply station, there
would be every advantage in having another larger
yard on the Gulf Coast situated that II could be
reached by railway, which would render unneces-
sary the transportation over Of stores, ammu-
milton and coal as would have TO be the case in
maintaining large supply depot at Guantanamo
The advisers of the Secretary OF the Navy have
been giving this subject careful attention and
eral reports have been made. The question is an
important one many ways and IT is to
consider a large number of conditions and to oper-
ate also In connection with the War Department IN
the matter OF adequate defence Probably the
project will be presented to the consideration OF
Congress.

ARMY OFFICERS BETTER MOUNTED.-Quar-
termaster General J. B. Aleshre, of the army, IS
much gratifed the success which has attended
the conduct OF the new army remount depot at
Fort Reno Oklahoma He will take steps to ex-
tend tbs system soon as the funds can be OBJ
tanned from Congress for the purpose 1t has been
found more or less difficult 10 get horses which
have the required youth and physical qualities
The horses received at Fort Reno have been. in
almost every instance, unbroken, and some of them
have been veritable outlaws. The training begins
at once and It has been found that no rule can be
followed with certainty. 1t is necessary to apply
individual treatment 1t has not yet been decided
where the other army remount depots will be es-
tablished, bus undoubtedly IN the West, il is
found that the Eastern sources of supply are too
costly. Some thought has been given to the &C
quisiton OF Virginia horses but the horse breeders
in that section hold their animals at too high a
price for the government. Equally good animals
can be obtained from the Middle West and the
Northwest, and three or four army officers are now
IN the field purchasing agents. The purchasers
are making a special effort now to acquire small,
horses suitable for use as polo ponies, a shipment
Of which will shortly be made from Fort Reno to
