The board of naval bureau chiefs which has been for the past two weeks carefully examining the iarge number of bids and plans submitted by shipbuilders for the construction of torpedo boats and torpedo boat destroyers has almost completed that | Work, and is expected to report to Acting Secretary Allen a plan of distribution of the awards within a day or two. The work has been one of difficulty, because of the ; multiplicity of plans and the originality displayed by some of the bidders. The de- cision arrived at by the board is to dis- tribute the craft as follows among the bidders: To the Union Iron Works of San Fran- cisco, probably three destroyers; the Mary- land Stee! Company of Sparrow Point, four or five destroyers; Neafie & Leavy of Phil- adelphia, two or three destroyers; Harland & Hollingsworth of Wilmington, chusetts, two or three; W. R. Trigg & Co. of Richmond, one or two destroyers and three or four torpedo boats; Bath Iron Works of Maine, three or four torpedo boats; Lawley of Boston, one or two tor- pedo boats, Another of the torpedo boats will go to either Lewis Nixon of Elizabeth- port, N. J., or to Herreshoff of Bristol, , While, if the department shall decide ta sta further distribute the work and reduce the number of boats awarded to some of the bidders, the Columbian Iron Works of Baltimore and the Gas Engine and Power Company of Morris Heights, N. ¥., may be awarded one boat each. Bids for the Battle Ships. The board is now about to turn its atten- tion entirely to a close consideration of the bids recently received for the construction of three battle ships. So far, the details of these vessels have only been examined in a cursory manner. But this superficial examination has made it appear that the problem of selecting the best designs is going to be much more difficult than was at first supposed. ‘tue bureau chiefs appear to have widely different opinions as to the respective merits of the design, and it is within the bounds of possibility that the department will decide not to make the awards in ac- cordance with the Jowest bid. In such a case the Newport News bid, the lowest, would be thrown out and two of the three ships would go to Cramp, the third going to the Union Iron Works. If this course is followed it will be because the bureau chiefs are satisfied that the plans for the Newport News ship, contemplating an en- larged Iowa..are inferior in essential points to those novereed © by Cramp and the Union Tron These latter provide simply fifteen feet the plans itself, on the IHinois class of battle ship. One element in the board favors a. re- jection of all of the bids and the prepara- tion of new plans, but, as the adoption of Se, Davere eoe propelly Belay tiie Jet two de-- | stroyers; Fall River Company of Massa- THE WORLD OF SOCIETY Brides and Grooms of the First Pleasant Fall Day.

A cablegram from General Brooke at Ponce to the War Department last night indicates that, while the charge tnat Americans troops are not receiving proper medical attention is unfounded, there is an increase of sickness. Gen. Brooke's dis- patch follows: “In regard to charge about 16th Penn- sylvania not having proper medical treat- ment, there is no truth in it. Report of Major Woodbury just received; states that Ernst’s brigade has 21% per cent of hfs command ill—dlarrhoea, dysentery and in- termittent fever, with typhoid, develops. Camps are in admirable con ition, and every precaution taken, and always, for health of men, yet rate of sickness is in- creasing day by day in reg’ar proportion. He thinks nothing can be dope except to move camp forward, meaaing Aibenite. As soon as I can see Capt-un General Macias I will try to arrange.” Major General Wilson, at Ponce, Porto Rico, sent the following telegram’ to the War Department last night: “Manitoba sailed at 6:30 p.m.; on board General Garretson and staff (seven offi- cers); 6th Illinois Infantry, 41 officers, 1,108 men; Battery A, Illinois Artillery, 4 offi- cers, 154 men; three Signal Corps men, Manitoba will stop at Mayaguez for ice.

Admiral Cervera recorded his apprecia- tion of the treatment he received in the following letter, addressed to Admiral Me- Nair, superintendent of the Naval Acad- emy, Annapolis: “In order to examine the details of the transfer to New York of the wounded and sick I have at the Naval Hospital in Nor- folk, Va., I leave today for that place. “Commodore Paredes remains to super- intend the departure to New York of the personnel here, and will inform you of any incident of importance. “I must not go away without your excellency for your noble and gener- ous conduct toward us, which has always been seconded by all, and especially by Lieutenant Commander Moore, whose bear- ing I shall never tire of praising. “The courteous and sympathetic given to all of us by the families living in the academ to our gratitude, and your rest assured that it will effaced from our memories. “Finally, the perfectly correct conduct of watchmen, soldiers and all individuals we thanki welcome distinguished is one more xcellency never be came in contact with, presenting the not- able fact that we depart without having had the least friction, is a thing I take pleasure in recording here "I intend, if time permit, to go and thank in person the Secretary of the Navy. “It would give me pleasure to return the attentions that I have received.” a Ss - Department Officials Return.
