28 MARINE REVIEW. [January 17, NAVAL APPROPRIATION BILL. A Washington dispatch announces that the house naval committee has completed consideration of the naval appropriation bill. No authori- zation of additional vessels of the Holland submarine class will be recom- mended by the committee at this time. The total amount carried by the bill is $77,000,000, an increase of $11,000,000 over that for the present year. Two battleships and two cruisers are to be contracted for under the head of increase of the navy. The sum of $21,000,000 is allowed under the head ‘of increase of the navy, as against $12,000,000 for the current year. This amount is for the continuation of work on vessels, etc., already con- tracted for, no appropriation being made for the ships authorized by the bill. For continuing the improvements at the naval academy the com- mittee allowed $3,000,000. An increase of 5,000 men in the enlisted strength of the navy is provided for, bringing it up to 22,500 men. Pro- vision is also made for the commission as ensigns of the two classes ot naval cadets now at sea and the class which finishes its four years’ course at the naval academy in June. This will add immediately about 150 men to the commissioned force of the navy. For armor plate the committee allowed the amount required during the year by the department to carry out the terms of the contract recently made by the secretary of the navy from the armor furnishing companies. Appropriations approximating $400,000 were made for the new coaling station at Algiers, La., to pay for the necessary land, equipments, buildings, etc. The submarine torpedo boat Holland is being prepared at Norfolk preparatory to her trip to Pensacola, where she will join the North At- lantic squadron. The distance from Annapolis to Norfolk is 160 miles— the longest trip yet undertaken by the Holland. Down Chesapeake bay an average speed of 5% knots an hour was recorded on the surface and 8 knots was accomplished on a spurt. An armature bar on the electric engine broke, but the Holland was not disabled, as she was at the time using her gasoline engine.
