Washington, May 19.—Ex-Secre-’ tary of the Navy Tracy of New York, under whose administration of ihe navy department many of the battle- sbips and cruisers of our new navy were projected and built, was at the navy department to-day, meeting his old associates and talking with the Officials on the status of the present war. General Tracy was asked if our ships in their present active ser vice met the expectation he had of them when the new navy wes being developed. “To judge from Manila they are meeting said General Tracy. And yet I believe it to be the plain duty of congress to authorize imme diately the construction of six large armored cruisers of the most mod ern type, even larger than the cruis- | ers New York and Brooklyn. These; should be ordered in sddition to the ships authorized by the regular naval appropriation bill.
