Cost of Battleships.

IONDON.-The construction of the
respective costs of construction of
American and British battIeships made
by Rear Admiral Bowles, L. S. n, re-
tired, and which showed that the former
was considerably less, formed the sub
ject Of a question put to Reginald Me-
kenna in the house of commons TODAY
The first lord of the admiralty replied
that he was unable to say why the cost
was lower in the protected country than
in free trade England, as he had no de-
tailed information as to the exact pro-
portions Of the vessels and equipments
included in the computation
In this comparison Of the cost of
battleships,' continued Mr.. McKenna,
there is no standard of quality. but
speaking of mercantile ships, in which,
presumably, a certain standard Of ex-
cellence would be demanded. Rear Adj
miraI BowIes admitted that the United
States could not compete with the Brit
ISL and German firms"
Mr.. McKenna was invited to say
whether the standard of efficiency in
the equipment Of the United States
Navy was twenty-five per cent less than
in the British Navy, but replied that
he had no knowledge as to the standard
Of efficiency in the United States Navy
and could make no comparison.

Pacific Naval Items.

WASHINGTON, May 9.-The naval
appropriation bill, as reported to the
senate today. contains several amend
ments OF interest to the Pacific Coast.
An appropriation of 100000 is made
for the purchase Of a site for a torpedo
boat station to cost $3J0,0OO. The com
mittee explains that such station IS
necessary in case of war, as disabled
torpedo boats have to be sent across
the continent to Newport, r. l., for re-
pairs.
The bill contains provision for six
additional torpedo boat destrOyers. 1t
is designed to bring the proportion of
destroyers to battleships up to figures
of foreign nayies.
The unexpended balance Of 5000, 900
for naval collier to be built on the
Pacific Coast IS reappropriated, with the
proviso that the total cost of the collier
shall not exceed + 600 600

Dehydrated Navy Grub.

Dehvdrated vegetables are to be
adopted for the naval service as the re
suit of tests made at the naval training
station, Newport, r. l., by Passed As
sistant Paymastor F. ?. Williams, L. S.
\. Among the first vessels to be stocked
up will he the new hattleship North Da-
kota. Just delivered at the Boston Navy
Yard. and the Delaware, now at the
New York Navy Yard. The vessels that
are expected to cruise around the world
will also he stocked up if the trip is
made
The question of dehvdrated vege-
tables has been given more or less at
teution in the past two years by naval
officials. On the last trip around the
world an unfavorabIe report on de
hvdrated vegetables was submitted by
ship paymasters.
Pavmaster Williams gave the subject
attention on the cruise. When he was
sent to Newport he asked to be allowed
to continue experiments. His report
now states that the trouble lay in the
lack Of knowledge as to how to properly
prepare these products, and probably
also because the process of dehydratIon
had not ut that time been as success
fully developed az it has now.
Pavmaster Williams recommends the
substitute for fresh vegetables. lie
saws that the government will save
money and the men viii always be able
10 have vegetables. The loss by de
terioraffon will be eliminated. lie
