featured the voyage Of the Italian liner
Giuseppe Verdi, which arrived yester-

ships had been sunk near the Verdi not
long after she left Italy. One Of them
was an Italian vessel and the other
few the Spanish flag.

Republicans Force In
crease of Thirty After
Sharp Fight.
NEARLY WIN PLEA
FOR DREADNOUGHTS
Minority Leaders Beaten by
Small Vote-Padgett Says
Navy Will Be Second.
lFrnm The Trthure Knrean !

Washington. May Republicans of
the House, working with a small minor
ity of the Democrats, broke through the
Democratic defence on the Navy bill
to-day and forced an increase IN the
number of submarines provided, from
twenty 10 fifty. The coalition working
for real preparedness came within SIX
teen votes of providing for two dread
noughts and within twenty-siX votes oil
boosting the number of battle cruisers
10 six.
The difference in the vote 20 in
crease the number Of submarines and
that on the dreadnoughts and battle
cruisers was due to the middle Western
and Southern representatives.. many OF
whom think that large fleet OF sub
marines is all the Navy that the coun-
try needs.
Chairman Padgett OF the Naval Com
mittee scented the danger when the
submarine amendment came up and
made a strong appeal TO the house
mot 10 be swept off its feet by TINS
submarine hysteris.'
Padgett Speaks Against Submarines.
"Of all the naval officers and experts
who testified before the committee he
declared. there is not one who did not
admit that the submarine alone IS pow
erless to protect our shores. They all
said that they could operate IN safety
only when under the protection of big
guns from either battleships or shore
batteries.
"Not only that. but it is foolish to
build more than twenty this year, be
cause the submarine is far from per-
fected. We have not a good motor for
them. There are accidents all the time
and this is true abroad. where they
do not publish to the world their
troubles, just as il is here"
Representative Copper, of Wiscon-
sin. asked il It were not true that one
German submarine had sunk three war
vessels in twenty minutes in the North
Sea, and that submarines had sunk
British war vessels at the Dardanelles.
Mr.. Padgett answered that the three
vessels sunk in the North Sea had been
old ships, and that two OF them were
sunk because they foolishly went TO
rescue the drowning crews Of the first
vessel TO be torpedoed, thus exposing
themselves to the attack of the same
submarine. At the Dardaneiles, he
gaid, it was questionable whether the
damage had been done by torpedoes or
mines.
Navy Superior TO Germany's.
with the completion of this pro-
posed programme" said Chairman Pad
gett, 'in broadside fire our navy will
be superior to Germany'ss. though in
the aggregate it may not be large. The
five cruisers we propose TO construct
would be superior 10 the eight that
Germany had at last accurate count
