| Washington, Dec. 14.-SecretarJ
Daniels told the house naval commit.
tee today that while Gil the battleships
in reserve were not supplied with shells
every dreadnaught and every battleshiT
| in the active line was so equipped but
| did not however, have an adequate re.
! serve supply.
THAT" said the secretary, "Is nc
navy secret"
He declared the navy was making
torpedoes at Newport for $4,000 each
more than 81. 1000 less than the price
at which private concerns supply them;
asked the committee to authorize more
than six new destroyers in view OF
| the prices at which Saturdays bids
were accepted; said a board was test
ing a new shell promising great re-
suits for attacking submarines and
urged an appropriation of 100000 for
a cove. nment prOjectile plant
THE private manufacturers charge
all they can get; the question of cost
doesn't enter into it, he said.
An English company making a su-
perior shell, he said, had offered the
United States its process for $4,000
and the navy had taken a option.
A special board, the secretary said
is considering reform of the pluck
ing system by which "the hump" may
be removed for promotions Of younger
Offices by putting senior officers into
a reserve instead of retiring them on
pay with no duties.
Representative Gardner continued
his movement for investigation of the
national defenses by whiting letters
to the chairman Of the naval and mill
taIy committee urging -oxansination Of
army and navy officers.
ALASKA COAL GOOD.
Washington, Dec 14.-Un1ciaI an
nouncement that Alaska coal has not
oeen found satisfactory for the navy
was made by Secretary Daniels. Tests
were completed ten days ago with
the coal from Matinuska fields and the
results have proved practically per-
feet, the secretary said.
The report was sprung as a surprise
by Secretary Daniels, who was elated
over the result particularly in con.
nection with plans now going forward
for the government railway to open
the Alaskan coal fields.
Unlike the tests made with the
Beering river coal last year." said the
secretary, cit was necessary to hand
pick the Matanuska coal for these tests
1t was used in the same condition as
it was when delivered and the results
are so satisfactory as to Justify the be-
l.ef that the Matamuska coal is in all
prospects satisfactory for navy use,
provided that the coal tested is fair
indication OF the gene. al character Of
the coal in that field"
"The general result is very gratifying
to the navy department and points the
way to an adequate supply Of West
Coast Coal for the navy as soon as
transportation facilities are

Washington, Dec. 4.--Need Of more
money with which to complete the
American navy's chart equipment was
urged IN n statement before the house
naval committee today from Captain
Thomas Washington, in charge Of tho
naval photographic office Speaking
OF the survey work Of his bureau,
especially around Cuba, Captain
Washington said he had mo doubt
that had Admiral Cervera known OF
these channels we found down there.
those ships of his might not have
gone into other anchorages and wo
would have no knowledge OF how to
get in there between these reefs"
THE same" continued Captain
Washington, "is true OF other coasts
that we have surveyed. We keep such
as we deem confidential; do not send
them to other nations, and similarly,
I have no doubt that the British and
other nations have many more con-
fidcntial charts that we have But
the charts that the merchant sailors
use we send to other nations as com
rlimentary."
The navy department has adviseI
the committee that the charts for
which the merchant ships are Clamor-
ing are in most demand from the
