TWO GUNBOATS TO BE
BUILT AT MARE ISLAND

VALLEJO, August IA sister
ship to the gunboat Monocacy Will be
built at Mare Island. Telegfaphic or
ders to begin work were received
from Washington this morning. Both
gunboats will be used in Chinese wa
tiers.
With two ships to be built Instead
of one, the cost of each will be les
sened by distribution of the overhead
charges, and the estimate of SAL 900
for the Monocacy was, so much lower
than the nearest private bid-$2l1,-
900 by Seattle firm-that an inves-
tigation was demanded and made.
Authorization for the gunboat just
ordered was made by. Congress in
1895. Great Britain objected under
the treaty of 1912, to- the use of the
gunboat en- the Great Lakes, as was
planned, and after fourteen years the
appropriation has now been let.
