We're comparatively few measures pre-

sway of the American flags to various
insular possessions and with the host
of river and harbor and public build
ing developments. with pet projects for

bling of Congress on Jan. ), and then
the tide will recede.

WILL RAISE THE PURITAN.
Suitable for Naval Reserve Use and
Outpost Fort in Time of War.

Washington, Dec. 23.-The monitor
Puritan, which was sunk in Chesapeake
Bay several weeks ago as a result OF
experiments with explosive gelatine,
will be raised by the Merritt Chapman
WrecEing Co. at Il contract price of
s23, 900. A contract was signed with
Pthat company today by Acting Sccre-
tary of the Navy Winthrop.
The company agrees to deliver the
Puritan at the Norfolk navy yard ailoat
and in q condition to be handled. III
case the company fails to accomplish
the task it will receive no payment.
After the Puritan had been placed in
dock at Norfolk, it is estimated that it
win cost the government S145,0oO to
put her in seaworthy condition This
is merely an estimate based upon what
is believed to be the extent of the
damage wrought by the two explosions
of the gelatinc and it is said that the
ultimate cost may reach as high as
$3.50, 900. 1t is not the intention to re-
place all the damaged plates, but mere
ly to put the ship in such shape as will
make it available for naval militia
uses.
Because of the Puritan's antiquated
design she is not regarded as a fight
ing ship, but in time Of war might be
used as a sort of advance fort station
ed in front of shore Notifications. For
these reasons the navy department
does not consider it a good business
proposition to abandon her and be-
lieves that she can be applied to uses
which will warrant the expenditure of
The sum needed to save her.
