Determined Efforts of House
Republicans to Enlarge Ma

Yield Results.

Washington, May 30.-Determincd re-
publican efforts to enlarge the building
program of the naval appropriation bill
as reported from the naval committee
resulted to-day in the adoption by the
House, sitting as a committee of the
whole, of an amendment increasing the
number of submarines from 20 to 80.
Proposals to provide for six battle
cruisers instead of five and to add two
dreadnaughts and two scout cruisers to
the program were defeated after a lively
fight.
In order to finish consideration Of the
bill by the time fixed. four o'clock Fri
day afternoon, tho House had three
hour session to-day instead of recessing
over Memorial day, as usual.
So decisive were the votes against adj

the bigger navy advocates virtually have
decided to abandon the fight for them,
but they still hope to get the two bat
tleships. Another attempt will be made
when the House returns to regular
