Secretary Meyer Recommends
That Many of Stations Be
Dismantled.
WANTS PEARY MADE REAR
ADMIRAL AND RETIRED
Appropriations for Aeroplanes
and More Extensive COnstruc-
ton of Battleships Asked.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-The results
of personal investigation by Secretary
George Won l., Meyer of many of the
navy yards and naval stations have in
duced him to make sweeping recon-
mendations for the abolition of some OF
these aud the development Of others
as set out in the secretary's annual re
port just made public. He also asks
an appropriation for aeroplanes and
wants Peary made a rear admiral and
retired,
Secretary Meyer recommends giving
up and disposing of the naval tations
at New Orleans, Pensacola, San Juan
Port Royal, New London, Sacketts Har
Dor, Culebra and Cavite. He finds that
tbe average yearly cost of maintaining
these stations for the past five years
has been 81 l,672,675, while very little
useful work has been performed therein
In making these recommendations
the secretary says he is following di.
rcctly along the progressive plans that
have been adopted in our great com
mercial and manufacturing consollda
tions in this country, that is of dis.
manthug unnecessary and antlQuated
plants.
The secretary points out that tho
United States has twice as many navy
Yards as Great Britain with navy mt
least double the size of ours. Touch
ing the New Orleans yard, it is said
that its position 100 miles up the Mis-
sissippi river is such that in time OF
war no large vessels should be sent
there on account, Of the danger Of the
passes being blocked.
Useless Navy Yards,
The Pensacola navy yard is con
demned as impossible OF fortiiication
and unnecessary. The secretary thinks
that the gulf and south Atlantic coasts
can best be defended by an effective
naval station Mt Guantanamo, Cuba.
This would involve the transfer To
Guantanamo of the New Orleans float
ing dock and machine tools from the
Algiers yard and from Pensacola.
Key West alone of tho gulf naval
stations should be maintained; not us
q first class station, but for the supply
and quick repair or small gunboats
and torpedo craft operating IN the Car
ibbean sea,
The secretary predicts that in time
of war tho cities of the gulf coast will
be. from their natural security, the
cnlci sources OF sHpplleS ana lndtcTldi
aud The probable points from which our
troops will embark either for the 18TH
mus of Panama ar elsewhere.
Because the Portsmouth, Boston, New
York. Philadelphia and Norfolk Yards
have accessible dry docks, of which we
have too few, it is found impossible to
give up my Of them. Port Royal has
u dry dock unapproachablo for battle
ships or even cruisers. and tho Charles
ton dock is likewise useless, as the
channel fills in nj the rate of from
three TO four feet year.

SEMINOLE CASE AGAIN.
ted that Two Trustees Are TO
] Prosecuted.-Receivers Deny
Statement.

Columbia, February ll.-ourpr!se
Is expressed by at least one OF the
Iminole receivers today that a
atement had been given out to the
Feet that the receivers would prose-
lute Messrs. Willie Jones and w. 4.
*Glark, of this city, in connection with
alleged Seminole transactions.
The facts in the case are these:
E. D. Blakeney, an attorney, appear
ed before the receivers a few days
AGO and stated to them that he To-
tended prosecuting the two gentle
men named above, and out Of cour-
tesy to the receivers only he appeared
before them in order to state his pur-
DOSE. There was some discussion as
10 the matter, it being understood so
one of the receivers states, that the
receivers would have nothing to do
with the matter. The prosecution
would be brought in the names :of
Individual stockholders.
In order to clarity the matter,
even, before the receivers 8 resoiu-
tion was passed to the effect that NJ
money would be used from the reeeaV-
ers' funds to defray the expenses OF
this litigation. In fact, it was siren
eously objected to that such funds oe
used for the purpose, and such res
elution is on the minute book. The
receivers, however, did grant the use
af the books and other information
for those who might wish to prose-
eate Messrs. Clark and Jones.
Senator Huger Sinkler was asked
about the matter to-day, and While
he expressed great surprise at tho
announcement that the receivers
would prosecute Messrs. Clark and
Jones, and that one member OF the
receivership had made statement,
he did not care to discuss the matter
further for publication.
II Senator Sinkler is one Of the re-
ceiyers for the Seminole Securities
) Company. In justice, however, to
the receivers who voted for the res
eQtution mentioned above, the state
nsept of fact as to the occurrence at
enc of the meetings is given.
The latest development OF the
Seminole matter is not unexpected,
and that individual stockholders
,aight prosecute trustees Of the COM
pany was thought by some to be a
logical following up Of the recent
prosecution of the company's OH
eials.
Messrs. Clark and Jones were
trustees Of the Seminole company,
which company went into the hands
OF receivers and prosecutions were
Instituted. resulting In conviction Of
the president and the treasurer. -
Tonight the statement above as 70
the resolution was: confirmed. SEN
ator; Sinkler, who does not care to
take the matter up-in the paper, sta
: ted. that he and one other receiver,
who is in the city, were both sur
prised at the statement that the re-
eeiYers would prosecute: .s..,.
The situation is that certain stock
holders In Kershaw :swaxed wroth'
at the trustees, and it is thought
employed counsel to represent them.
At the time the attorney appeared
before the receivers it was then not
.statd when the prosecution, If any,
would take place. The statement, Is
authorized that the Seminole receiT-
ers are not prosecuting the two trus-
tees. .>.. =" -'.
