NAVAL OFFICERS DIFFER
ON SALVAGING MEMPHIS
Some Believe Cruiser Not Worth
$2,OO0,OOO, Which Is Es-
timated Cost.

Widely divergent opinions upon sal
vaging the cruiser Memphis, recently
wrecked in Santo Domingo City harbor.
have been received by the Navy De-
partment The navy board, headed by
Capt. Hood, after examining the wreck,
has reported in favor of salvaging the
ship. while other naval officers and
wrecking company officials submitted
adverse recommendations. 1t is esti:
mated it would cost more than 81
100000 to put the vessel in first-class
condition after it had been removed
from the rocks.
Final decision will be made as soon
as the various reports can be analysed
The value of the ship, from military
standpoint, in the opinion of naval
officers, will not justify the expenditure
necessary for it's repair. and indica-
tions are that no extensive salvage
work will be ordered.
On Secretary Daniels return to this
city about the first of the month he will
be called on to decide whether or not
further proceedings shall be instituted
against Capt. f. l.. Beach and other re-
sponsible officers of the wrecked cruiser
Memphis for alleged neglect of duty in

pointed to investigate all the circum-
stances connected with the disaster is

cate general, preliminary to the, sub
mission of the case to the Secretary of

ported that the court recommended the

who commanded the ship. and one or
more of his assistants.
