South American Diplomats Are
Closely Watching Situation in
Which Argentina, Bolivia and
Peru Are Interested.
BOLIVIA MAY GET
OUTLET TO SEA BY
SUCCESSFUL WAR
Much Depends Upon Attitude to
Be Assumed by Bolivian Con-
gress Which Opened It's Ses-
sions Saturday.
(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, Aug. SIS Bolivia
seeking a pretense to bring on wal
with Peru?
This question is being asked. seriously,
too, by South American diplomats who
are watching every development in the
situation in which Argentina, Bolivia and
Peru are directly interested and Chill
and Brazil directly. Some of the diplo
mats profess to think that the excite
ment in Bolivia over the Argentine award,
which was favorable to Peru, is really
blind on the part of the politicians there
to bring about an armed conflict with
Peru nominally to secure a more salts
factory adjustment of the boundaries Of
the disputed tract, but actually aimed at
territorial conquest.
HAS NO SEA COAST.
Bolivia has no sea coast. A successful
war with Peru might give her an outlet
to the sea by demanding as an indemnity
Moquegua province, the southernmost In
Peru. and adjoining the Gillian frontier.
In that province is the harbor of lilo, at
the mouth of the river Of that name.
The harbor is said to be an excellent one,
and its acquisition by Bolivia would De
of great advantage to her.
Much depends upon the attitude to be
assumed by the Bolivian congress which
opened it's sessions Saturday If Argen-
tina's award is accepted that would pre-
vent further trouble, but IL, on the con-
trary. Bolivia refuses to abide by that
decision and proceeds to occupy the dis
puted territory, serious trouble Is ahead.
CHILrS PROBABLE ATTITUDE.
Chilrs probable attitude in the event
of hostilities between Bolivia and Peru
is also being discussed with much anima-
ton. Her financiers have been spending
considerable money I'm the work OF rail-
road construction In Bolivia, and the
popular sympathies are beginning to be

Dear Sir: Your subcommittee, APP

made personal visits and examinations ia
order to become thoroughly acquainted
with the situation. The COMMITTEES as
whole examined every department of the
present hospital and had placed before II
the necessary data touching the present
nf institution
unanimously agrees to the following:
First The Grady hospital under the
present management is doing splendlc
work but owing to the growth of the eit{
ard the increasing demands upon the in
stitution, the facilities are very made
auate to properly meet the present de-
mand. All wards in the institution are
occupied to the fullest capacity and the
superintendent has been forced 10 plac5
beds In the corridors. The daily average
of patients in the wards and adjoining
corridors is now about 12e. One year age
at this time the average was IS, and With
the normal growth of the city the number
of patients is bound to increase from yeai
to year.
we find that the present site OF the
building has sufficient vacant ground for
the erection of a modern. up-to-date ir-
stitution that will meet the needs Of the

NOTES.

Senator Hemenway is accused by
the president of making an inaccurate
and misleading report on the use OF
the secret service.
Commissioner of Corporations Smith
in a report to the president, urges an
investigation of the American To-
bacco Company, the trust which CON
trolls four-ffths of the output of each
kind of tobacco in this country.
The house finally settled the tangle
which threatened to prevent Senator
Knox being secretary of state In the
Taft cabinet. In the senate Senator
La Toilette and Senator Penrose had
a wordy war over the committee ques-
ton.
The naval bill appropriating 1885,
600, 900 for the United States navy was
passed by the senate. Senator La Fol
lette criticised the methods OF the
navy in speaking on the measure.
President Roosevelt in a message to
congress, accompanying the report
made by the engineers who went with
Taft to Panama, approved the lock
type of caanl.
President-elect Taft announced that
Senator Knox of Pennsylvania will be
secretary of state in his cabinet, say
ing the action of the senate and house
had removed the constitutional bar
raised by the senator's vote to In
crease the salary of the office.
The senate wants the president to
keep one-half of the United States
warships in the Pacific to guard the
western coast of the country from an
attack. The suggestion is made in an
amendment to the naval bill, which
also was changed to block Roosevelt's
plan to put the marines on land.
The Burke bill requiring all ocean
going steamships carrying fifty or
more passengers to be equipped with
wireless telegraph apparatus, was
passed by the house of representa-
tives The bill prescribes a penalty OF
not to exceed $4,000 or Imprisonment
for not to exceed one year or both for
violation of its provisions.

quantity Of fuel consumed. In this re-
spect alone the experience gained is
invaluable. Nearly 100000 gallons of
oil were consumed in l%ubricating the
engines and machinery.
All Nations Impressed.
1t is as a naval test that the cruise
of the fleet takes rank as the most
interesting and greatest achievement
of modern times. Naval experts of
foreign nations waited with cynical
patience for the fleet to arrive in Mag
dalena bay, battered and disabled aft
err the first leg of the rigorous journey.
When the ships went through target
practice without any preparation they
fastened to report to their govern
ments. Later, when the same ships
continued on their way around the
world and did the same thing at Ma
Mia bay, the fighting efficiency of the
American navy was unquestioned.
Foreign naval experts also waited
confidently until the ships should
reach California, to see the bluejack-
cts desert in shoals as soon as they
set foot on their own soil again. On
the contrary the men kept to their
posts more faithfully than even the
department itself anticipated. This
is the one problem Of the American
navy that has been a source of con-
slant difficulty. Refreshments be.
come more common than before and
for the men who left the fleet after
the long cruise around South Ameri-
ca there were more men to take the
places when they were ready to leave
San Francisco.
But there were some things, some
very simple things, brought out by
the fleets voyage which seem to have
escaped the critics of the navy. If
naval operations are to be carried by
the United States at long range, and
that will probably be the case, Sc far
as the Pacific is concerned, there
must be golfers to fill the bunkers of
the battleships, supply ships to fill the
store rooms, and ammunition ships
to fill the magazines. In their last re-
ports the chief of the bureau of ord
n said that a navy without am
munition was helpless, the chief of the
bureau of supplies and accounts said
that a navy without food for the men
was helpless. The Golfers are being
built now and it is only a matter of
time before each Of the bureau chiefs
will get what he wants.

ing places has been far less than was
expected.
From the point ofview Of the trained
mariner, bringing a ship around the
world is no extraordinary task. But
bringing 16 battleships, with $4,000
men, around the world is a most 81
gantic naval undertaking. Unlike the
merchant ships. they are things OF
massive and intricate mechanism.
They moved in battle formation, ma
%neuvering at sea, to simulate, as far az
possible, war conditions. At two stops
in their journey, Magdalena bay and
the Philippines, the great batteries
were brought into play for target prac'
tice, without preparation, to prove the
fitness of the ships for fighting at the
end of a long cruise.

Marks Epoch in History.
The event marks an epoch in the
naval and diplomatic history of the
United States. AS a mere physical
achievement it is a thing of enormous
proportions. AS a test of naval eff
cheney it has shown the sailing value

many peoples the power of the United

has been a sort of gymnastic exercise
with the big stick. 1t has given the
navy department the results of an
experience that will be invaluable in
the upbuilding of future fleets and
brought out defects that must be ver
come. AS a diplomatic messenger it
has dissipated international misunder-
standings and brought closer in friend
ly relations the United States and
many of the worlds countries.
The successful completion of the
cruise without noteworthy accident or
untoward incident, from either a naval
or political point of view, is regarded
by all nations as history making from
several points of view. Never before
has any battle command made such a
long, continuous voyage. Never be-
fore has any battle command circum-
navigated the globe, whether in one
or separate voyages. Never before
has any fleet or armada of any of the
countries of the world visited SO many
ports, so many countries, under so
many flags. And never was any naval
command received with such wide and
universal acclaim and enthusiasm of
friendly feeling and spirit of welcome
as marked the progress of the Ameri-
can battle fleet at every one of its
twoscore or more stops on the cruise
around the world.
Few Desertions Reported.
A remarkable feature of the cruise
has been the excellent discipline.
