' CONSTRUCTION OF WARSHIPS DELAYED FOR A YEAR The Naval Committee of the Senats | Dodges the Question of the In- » crease of the Navy. WASHINGTON, Feb. Urgently as the country needs battleships and arm- ored crulsers, the Senate Naval Commit- tee has postponed the construction of such | vessels for a vear, and in lieu thereof has given the navy three submarine boats of the type which has been so roundly cone demned by naval experts. The provision regarding the naval in- crease placed in the naval appropriation act by the Senate committee., which was tles of Congressional literature., Appre- clating that the country demands contin- uous armorclad construction and fearing to boldly oppose further increase during this session, the committee has artfully dodged the question. “That for the purpose of further in- creasing the naval establishment.” reads the provision incorporated in the act by the committee the Secretary of the Navy Is hereby directed to prepare plans and specifications of two seagoing battle- ships and two armored cruisers, carrying the most suitable armor and armament for vessels of their class, and to submit to Congress a general desmglion of such battleships and cruisers on the first Mon- day in December next.” FUR SEAL DISAPPEARING. ‘WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.—The number of vessels, as reported by the Consul at Vie- torta, which propose to engage In seal hunting from the -port of Victoria this year is _thirty-four.
