GUN ELEVATION
 MAY COVERED IN WILBUR DATA
Secretary Declines To Re veal Nature Of Queries
 Of Committee
(By Associated Press.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-Secretary Wilbur began work today on a state ment he will make to the senate naval committee Monday when it takes up the appropriation bill for the coming fisal year. Chairman Hale of the committee has submitted to MT. Wilbur list Of ques- tions on which committee members de- sire information. The secrHtary did not indicate today what specific points as to conditions in the fleet or the naval plant ashore about which the commit tee ipuuired, but he said his statement would overlap the statements he made to the house naval appropriation sub committee, only in certain features.
 Question Sill Up
 The appropriation bill does not in- clude provisions for the increase of the navy or for carrying out the moderniza- / ton program, those projects having been included in a separate measure when au- thorization for the work was given by congress. The question of providing the funds to carry out this work is still before the budget director and the ap- propriation bill now before the senate naval committee has to do with the or dinary expenditures for the. navy In the
 fisal year 1025-28.
 There have been intimations that the
 senate committee proposed to inquire particularly into the question of gun elevations. Secretary Wilbur would not say. however, whether or not the ques- | tions he had received touched on this subject.
 Scans Battle Records MT. Wilbur took occasion today to look up records of the naval battle off Santiago and the logs of certain ships engaged in the fighting along the Cuban coast in 1898 in order to verify recol- lection he had that American ships at that time had been listed in order to l increase the range of their guns, a procedure which has been experimented with recently by both the British and I American navies.
 He found the battleship Indiana, on
 July Il, after the naval engagement
 and while endeavoring to lombard the
 city of Santiago over a high bluff, had < swung her two main battery turrets
 to the off shore side which listed the
 ship several degrees and added to the elevation of her eight-inch secondary turrets on the shoreward side. Navies Held Equal Mir. Wilbur also found in old Ameri- can and British scientific magazines, 4 comparisons of the American and Span ! ish navies made before war was declared I between those two countries. Experts Of that day, he discovered, | held the two navies to be relatively equal in strength as far as their ships were concerned, although the Spanish naval strength consisted largely of I heavily armored fast cruisers, while the American navy included a far larger proportion of batdeships. The secre- tary made no comment in connection E with his explorations into the old rec . ords, saying he had looked up these
 matters only to verify his own recollec- 4 tiOns.
