CANAL WILL MAKE
PORT IMPORTANT
Navy Yard at Pensacola and
Station at New Orleans
Will Become Important
Points With the Navy De
partment - Guantanamo
Will not Receive Much
Attention.
BY WINFIELD JONES.

Washington, June lit is possible
that Pensacola will get a great navy
floating dry dock. which the navy de-
partment is contemplating having built
in the near future. In view of the ex-
pensive experience of the navy with
the dry dock at Pearl ITarbor, Hawaii,
which recently collapsed, floating
docks are receiving more consideration
at the hands of the navy department.
and the subject has come up in con-
nection with improvements at the ma
val station, Guantanamo, Cuba.
It is not expected. however, that
Guantanamo will receive much atten-
ton as a naval base during the pres
ent administration, it being more
likely that what is expended in the
way of navy yard development will be
applied to the stations in the southern
states.
Therefore If a floating dry dock is
built for use in time of emergency at
Guantanamo, it will be kept regularly
at the navy yard at Pensacola, Fla,
whence it could be transferred to the
Cuban station when needed; or possi-
bly, 1t would be based at New Orleans.
In which deterioration of the metal
structure would progress more slowly
than in salt water.
The special naval board held a con-
ference this afternoon with Secretary
Daniels before starting on its tour of
fnkpection of southern navy yards.
This board received instructions some
time ago to make a thorough inspec-
tion of the Pensacola and New Or
leans yards and recommended what
ever improvements are necessary.
Navy officials today declared that
with opening of the Panama canal the
New Orleans navy yard and the Pen
sacola yard will become the most inn
portant naval stations on the Allan
tic seaboard- The special board in

Rear Admiral Sanford chief of the
bureau OF yards and docks, has made

Pearl harbor dry dock. He favors, 1t
is reported, a new dry dock on the
Pacific and another new one either at
Pensacola or New Orleans.

The loss in revenue may be partially
offset by countervailing duties on Ger

estimated as not large. Among the
articles the senate sub committee has

London, June 11.-WhiIe admitting
that the pace Of the American polo
team was too much for the British
team in the match at Meadowbrook
yesterday, the evening papers today
express themselves as not altogether
discouraged by the result of the first
match
The Evening Standard says:
The British team ought to have
learned a. deal from yesterdays game
and we are more hopeful of the result
of the next game
The Pail Mall Gazette says:
"As the British players never had
a really fast practice game since they
landed in America, they failed just
where they might redsona bly, have
been expected to fail. but we may feel
some confidence that they now have
the measure Of their opponents"
The Westminster Gazette says:
I'VE still! may hope, but we can no
longer entertain great confidence Of
the final outcome"
Viewed by the special correspondents
of the London papers who cabled long
reports of the British teams defeat at
polo by the Americans yesterday the
challengers' work received considera BILE
criticism.
The Times this morning says:
TT is evident that the British for
wards failed to take advantage Of
their opportunities. Even with this
failure however. they would probably
have held their own If they had been
able TO withstand the onslaught of the
american forwards in the first period"
The Daily Te:egraph's correspondent
SAYS:
THE English team lacked direction.
They were far from showing the bril-
liant game they put in at practice be-
fore the match. It was not onlv the
offense that was weak. but the efense
as well; and the majority Of the Amer
lean goals were the result Of errors
combined with the more aggressive
ia cites of the Meadowbrook team
When the English carried the ball up
to the American goal, Door stick work
invariably spoiled good dribbling"
ssEnglishrnen will he amazed to
learn according to the Daily Mails
correspondent. that at the outset the
American ponies were speedier than
the English for it had been confident
Iy asserted that A better collection Of
mounts than those Of the English team
had never bene brought together. The
whole American team played a cool
Englfshmen seemed durried and in
Clined to hurry their shots with un-
fortunate results up to the third
period"
At the end of the fourth period we
realized the '+veiled protests of the
chauengers that the right sort of play
ing men had not been sent q against
them in the practice games. The Eng
lishInen were helpless against the Wig
orous tactics of the Americans and
made many unexpected misses"

Says Handsome Structure

Will Furnish Free Site.

! The state board of health will erect
a handsome building in Pensacola, one
/ similar to one recently built in Tampa

The board took up several matters of
Importance to the state at large, but
the one Of most interest to Pensacola
discussed, was that of the erection of
a. state board Of health building in
this city, similar to the one at Tampa
which cost about $4,000 It was de-
cided to build such a structure, both
at Pensacola and at Key West pro
vided the cities would furnish the
sites.
The cities Of Jacksonville and Tam
pa have gladly donated the ground up
on which the buildings in those cities
were built and the board appointed
Drs. Kennedy and Porter committee
to confer with the city authorities Of
Pensacola and Key West, with the
view of ascertaining if they will be
willing to donate the necessary ground
The Tampa building cost approximate
" $4,000 and 1t Is the intention of the
board, provided 1t can get the coop
GRAFTON of the commissioners, to erect
a similar building here.
DR.. Kennedy saw two of the COM

favorable to the plan. The city has
quite q number of sites suitable. One
will be on North Palafox street, where
the stand pipe now stands. Another is
further north on Palafox street while
