PENSACOLA NAVY YARD
MAY BE MADE LARGER
Assistant Secretary Roosevelt Goes
Next Week to Look Over
the Ground.

Assistant Secretary Roosevelt of the
Navy will go next week to Pensacola,
Fla, to inspect the navy yard and sur
rounding reservation with the view to the
establishment of an advanced naval base
there. Experts who have investigated
favorably on the site. Moreover the board
of inspections for shore stations in its
latest report says Pensacola is the best
and only site on the Gulf of Mexico
for naval station of the frs. class, and
that such a station adequately protected
is most desirable in peace and absolutely
necessary to success of the fleet in time
of war
For some years past the operations at
the Pensacola yard have been unlmpor-
tant, but naval experts recall the extern
sive use to which it was put during
the Spanish war. Secretary Daniels. III
discussing the Pensacola problem, de-
clared that the establishment of an ad-
vanced base on the Florida coast of
the Gulf of Mexico would in no manner
diminish the Importance of Philadelphia
as an advanced base. He reiterated his
previous declaration that the approach
ing opening of the Panama canal makes
ali advanced base on the Gluf of Mexico
imperative.
Before returning Mr.. Roosevelt will
visit the New Orleans yard. Although
naval experts have recommended the
closing of that yard, Mr.. Daniels thinks
it can be used in the repair of lighter
draft vessels.

WHY PANAMA REVOLTED.
History of Quarrel With Colombia
Given in Haskin's Book.

Negotiations are now on between the
United States and Colombia for set
Element of the controversy growing out
of the Panama revolution, through which
the United States acquired the right to
build the canal. The Taft administration
sought to settle the whole matter by
offering Colombia salve to her wounded
feelings by the payment of $1o,O0OOCO
and by several other propositions But
Colombia would have nothing to do with
these negotiations, saying that she pre-
ferred to wait and settle with the Wilson
administration.
Opinions widely differ as to the recti-
tude of our course in the Panama-Colonl-
bian revolution. Some assert that it was
a conspiracy to despoil Colombia of her
property, territory and rights. Others as
sert that Colombia got just what was
coming TO her: that she attempted to rob
the new Panama Canal Company of its
rights ard that it was simply case o.
the bitter bitten
An impartial account of this whole
situation, showing just why Panama
wanted to revolt, just why Colombia
wanted to hold up the treaty With the
United States, and Just what sort of a
situation confronted President Roosevelt.
is presented in the new book THE
Panama Canal" by Frederic j. Haskin.

an electric battery which Mr.. Engle
claimed to have invented, and also to

Mr.. Engle claimed to have invented an
electric battery which operated in the

SUSPECTED SCHOONER
is READY TO SAIL
Surveillance of Customs Officers
Proved Amusing to Capt.
Kneeland.

Capt. kneeland, master of the three
niasted schooner Emma F. Angel, which
this week unioaded cargo of plaster
rock at Alexandria. was in the city yes
terday afternoon arranging for tug
boat to take the vessel to Norfolk, where
she will load coal for Newburyport,
Mass
The Angel is the vessel that was sus-
pected of having 100000 worth of fine
dress goods aboard. and not on her mani
fest from Nova Scotia, but Capt. Knee
land says that if the customs officials,
who have been aboard his ship for a
week, found anything on his vessel they
have not said anything to him about it,,
and he is going to take his vessel away
today if a tugboat can be had to tow
her. The only silk goods on the ship that
he knew anything about was silk neck
tie that belonged to the mate. Close
watch was kept OIL everything going
ashore from the schooner. and after she
was discharged every nook and Granny
of her hull was searched, but nothing
was found but rats, and of these the
steward has caught seventeen since the
schooner sailed from Nova Scotia.
In one way Capt kneeland benefited
by being suspected of being smugSler.
The presence OF the customs officers on
the vessel day and night provided him
with free Waterman service, and no
watches had to be kept by the men on
the schooner while she lay at -AleNan-
dria.
Capt. kneeland does not look the
part of a bold bad smugGler, but is so
mild-looking that it is doubtful if he
swears at drunken sailor. He was at
first disposed to resent the intrusion Of
the customs officials on his schooner until
the funny side of it struck him, and since
then he says, the affair has furnished
him with something to laugh over
