HAYTIEN NAVY SOLD.

Firm-NIay Be Freighter.

New York, June at last the
Havtien navy is destined to serve some
practical purpose. Either she Will be
torn asunder and sold to junk dealer
or she will be cut down to the re-
ouirementss freight barge purposes
After holding the gunboat yacht FER

for more than a year the dusky west
Indian republic has sold the vessel to
a New York firm
The only person interested who is
at all rueful is Captain Bit Watt
who two years ago became the Hay
tien minister of naval affairs, admiral
of the Haytien navy and as such, COM
mander of the crew of the Terrier.
About a year ago the Haytien cab
met decided on "a greater navy pol
lev and Captain BilP' drew up the
plans He declared the navy needed
a new rudder, an engine that would
work. no matter which way the wind
blew, a new blade on the propeller and
at least one breach loading gun.
Captain Bill and his nine men
took the Terrier to the Philadelphia
navy yard where the crew deserted
and the United States government was
asked to estimate on repairs. the
government wired to Hayti that 1t
would cost $4,000.

A SERIOUS PROBLEM.
How to Find Room for High School
Students Next Term.

The board of education and new
superintendent of city schools will be
confronted with a serious problem this
summer. So scarce has avilable room
been at the high school in the last year
that it has almost been necessary to
hang the students, like art treasures.
on the walls-there was an enrolment
of 1852 students With the proba b1l1ty
of an increase of at least one hundred
persons next fall the problem of caring
for them will give the management no
small amount of worry.
The number of persons who have
applied to study English next fall is
1,O47. 1t would require forty-three
classes to accommodate these students.
Additional classes will be required in
a number of other branches as follows:
Two in German, one in physics, two
or three in commercial arithmetic and
one in commercial geograp ny.
The suggestion has been made that
sessions be held both in the morning
and afternoons and that two shifts of
teachers be employed. However. this is
something that the school board will
have to consider. Last year additional
room was made by dividing the manual
training assembly room into two class

MORE SUBMARINES.
Navy Will Have More and of Very
Superior New Type.

Washington, June 9.-While the
navy department consistently has hten
extremely reticent concerning it's sub
marines, it became known today that
the plans for the three vessels of this
type authorized by the last session of
congress and for which bids are about
to be asked contemplate vessels much
larger than any now in commission.
Although the pioneer in submarine
navigation, the American navy has
been outstripped by European en-
gineers in the matter of size, speed
and offensive power underwater craft
The navy department designers now
are planning much larger and more
formidable vessels of this type and
some of them prophesy the develop
ment of the submarine into a giant
battleShip that will replace the dread
noughts in the first line of defense.
They even contend those vessels would
be able to disappear beneath the sur
face of the sea to escape a return fire
after discharging their great 12-inch
rifles at an enemy.

He said Colonel owens deeds of kind

Shortly after being ordered to the
