The Navy "e It Is TedAy.In the past twenty-three years everyof-

fort has been made to bring the navy intothe At rank. Oad the best foreign avam-tions have been adopte. The character ofthe vessels has been Imp0 from year toyear. The iaventin by Gruesom of a pe-ese of cast-rea which is as hard andsmooth as 'gtaS, Sad the wonderful gunsand eaoe which Krnep provided for theiresecial use, have enabled the Germans tobuild some of the most powerful warshipsIn the woreld.

Compared withEgland's immense safy, Germany's feetis small. but, taking Into condmatton thelimited coast line which she .essee. andthe comparatively smal number of hercolonies. she may safely boast that hernavy bolds the third place among those ofthe other great powers.XNumber and Stre=gsh of the Shiss.Every month news comes of the launching

Each cruiser Is able tomarcne for long distances, and has amcnewhich converts salt water intogood drinking water at the rate of 1,100 to1,400 quarts a day.In order to have a proper Idea of the

strength of the Gersman navy one mustlook at the number and equipment of Itsvessls. It poeses. fourteen large armoredwar ships, of which ten are frigates andfour co:-vettes. Three frigates are still inthe ship yard. hot will be launched moon.The "K~onig Wilhelm" Is the largest andoldest frigate, and was bgailt in 1867. inEngland, for Turkish use, but was after-ward bought by the Prussans. She is stilla staunch shlp, notwithstanding her ser-vice In the Franco-Prusslan war. Herlength Is 450 feet, she is of 5,958 displace-ment, and Is plated with armor twelveInches thick. She has nineteen guns of 10-Inch caliber, and four of S-Inch. All thenewer ships carry no masts, and those ofthe "Konig Wflbeim" will moon be re-moved. She carries 732 mnen, a much largernumber than Is required on the newer ves-

selr. and makes about fourteen knots an

The rhips which have been built duringthe lar t ten years are much more stronglyarmnored. Among them are five corvettesin ten Jed for use in the North and Balticseas. Of this class is the Baden, which isone of the newest. She is armored withcompound plates 17 Inches thick, is of 10,000tons, makes about 16 knots and carries sixitrupp guns, from 10 to 12-inch~besideu light-er arms.Trhere are, alSo, ten smaller armnored ves-

in use, and, al many wee employedin the Franco- war, the governmenthas not ordered any new ones. They havelght gums and, in the center, a large bombbattery.A neat trim vessel Is the dispatch boat, or"aviso." The government can command ten

of these Being built for spies andthey carry only very light arms. The"aviso" was built in 1 and is called theGrile. She was much used by the lateEmperor Frederick and him family. whowere very fond of the ocean. The Grillemade a good record in the Danish war. TheBUIts, P'fel and Meteor are steel vessels,provided with Iron- decks, are lightlybuilt and attain high speed. The Meteor isthe newest, built In 152. has ,000 hornpower and moves at the rate of 22 knots.

Terpede heats.Not the least important are the death-

dealing torpedo boats, of which, in 1U%ereichetag ordered that 100 be built. Of thisnumber. 90 are ready for use. Their speedis 28 knot. These boats are designed asprotectors for the north coast of Germanyand wil be dangerous enemies for foreignvesels to meet. Besides theme torpedo boatsthere are eight torpedo "hunters," known as"torpedo divisions boats." They afe twicethe Mine of the emaller vessels, carry lightguns and are also arranged for torpedoes.Their coal supply will suffice for 2,00 se,miles, and they are intended for use in for-eiW of the feet are used as school-ships -for cadets, and many others, which

have served their time in active service andare not Included in the list given above,serve as transport and coal ships.

The Kasee's Yacht.No German would consider a descriptioh

of his navy complete without mome mentionof the emperors yacht, in which he makespleasure eneursions with his charming wifeand lively boys, or visits foreign powers,and from which he reviews his navy. In15g5 the Grille was found to be too smalfor the Umperor Frederick's family, and anew yacht, the Hohensollern, was built atKil. U to the t time this has beanthe yacht. I now Its name beotChanged to KasSeradler, and the oname Hoemallern, will be cosf eena de, new vessel, which Is still In the ship-yarde of Vulcan, at Bredow. It is fntihAd

Armnored Corvette "Daden."but is now In process of seasoning, whichin case of large war ships is often continuedthree years. The new Hohensollern is notdesigned merely for a pleasure yacht. butis so stanchly built that she wil serve asa commanders vessel when the kaiser takespcrsonal charge of the 9eet. or in case ofwar.According to an offcial report, made inlast October, by order of Kaiser Wilhelm,the German navy consists of the followingvessels: Thirty-five Ironclad ships, severalothers in building; 18 protected cruisers,and several more In the shipyard; 5 cannonboats, 9 d tch boats, 150 torpedo boats,8 divisions ts, 15 school and trial ships.There are also for special use the kaiser'syacht, a transport ship, three surveyingvessels and four ships for harbor service

Manning ef Warships.No warships are more completely manned

than are those of Germany. The disciplineis eneeedingly strict, the punishment. se-were but the results are stisfactory. TheGermans say that the drains of whIskyand rum which Brittanla provides for herseamen daily have no place in their bill offare, and they claim to produce more relia-ble sailors from men who are restricted toa moderate use of beer and light wines.The German "Jack" does not have michmoney to waste when he gets back to share,for his wages are low. Ordinary seamenare divided late two classes, 01 which thefirst receive S39 a month, the second 82.5.Eutra allowance is made each month forclothing. Offeers are also paid at a moder-at. rate.

Must Aet Qaue;.The oommander of a ship of war occas-

onally finds himsif in a position wherewhatever he does aouro to got him intotrouble. Nevertlless, he must act, andwith boldness. If he falls to do so, he Willbe held guilty of timidity, which is theworst fault of which he can be accused. Hemay even be driven to infringe the laa ofnation. During the late civil War, in thehatbor of Bahia, Brash, Capt. Colin of theUnited tates Ship Wachusett, forcibly vio-lated that neutral port by aihing the Con.-federate steamer Florida. Our governmentapologised for the offense and acquiesaced toUagi's demand that the veossl be given up.But, to avoid the necessity of doing thia, atransport ran her down and sunk her inHampton Roads. quite by accident. Coainswas publicly reprimanded. privately pattedon the back, and moon received a betterSommand. The michief done by the Flor-Ada and the desperate state of the nation'safaire were considered to warrant his act-ion.

Must Assme Respomesbility.Ther are times when a naval commandermust assume resposib.ties not laid downin tie law book, If he hesitates to takerinse i&; Is likely to fnd himmel in troube.In the harbor of Perrol, Spain, Capt. Cra-ven of the United states sip Niagara, hadan Opportunity to attack the Confederateironclad Stonewall, which had been Attedout in a French port. He faned to 40 s,and for his non-action he was afterwardatried by court martiaL Though acquitted,he was pracUcaly shelved and never getanother Important commnan. Of course itis possible for a dommander to go too fhr.Capt. Wilkes did so when he took Mamsand Slidell, the Confederate commi.nmners,off the British mail steamer Trent, while enthe Way to Engian I, and carried them toDoston. Of course, the prisoners wereprompty demanded by Great Britain, andSecrtary Seward gave them up. ThoughWilkes was reprimanded for this flagrantbreach of Internaional law, he moon gotanother command.Jefeson Davis once amid: "The Amer-

can people are tolerant of the offene ofYliting too much." In July, 1N, Martinosta, who had been military secretary toKossuth, was confined in Irons on board ofthe Austrain Huamar In the harbor ofSmyrna. Ho= been .ezed on Turkishsoil. Next day the United States ahip St.Louis, commanded by Capt. Duncan N. In-graham arrived. The latter demanded theperson of Kosta, on the ground that he haddeclared his Intention to become an Ameri-can citizen. The Austrians, who had. be-sides the eighteen-gun brig, a twelve-gunSchooner and three armed merchant ves-s08, refused. But Ingraham meant busi-ness and cleared his deck for action. Hos-tilities were only prevented by the yieldingup of the prisoner. A fight would havemeant war with Austria. On the voyagehorne the St. Louis fell in with the Unitedstates sloop-of-war Levant, the commanderof which as the ships passed yelled throughhis trumnpet: "Ingraham. you have ruinedyourmelf!" Nevertheless, in the diplomaticdispqte which followed our governmentiuatained Ingraham, and Congrems gavehim a'gold moedal.

A Different Pe~eism Poltey.Those were days when we used to have a

foreign policy. It is different now. Notvery long ago there was trouble betweenthe United States and Portugal respectingan Amherican citiaen of Dutch Mirth, whohad a farma on the east Afsleen coastwhich the Portugueme claimed. A specialagent of the Department of State wa mtout on i war vessel to mettle the difficulty.Ho satisfied himsef by investigation on thespot that the Dutch-Amnerican was in theright. But the Portuguese amiral, withthree men-of-wan was determnined to havehim own way, and finally ho gave notiee tothe Dutchtman that he would ahail his paeIf ho did not get out by --m the nextday. In his beaif the UJnIt States agentappealed to the commande of the Amneri-can ship, but the latter vagied out his in-struetions from the Navy Department andshowed that ho had orders to give enly"moral support" to our aide of the ques-tion. Said the agqat: "Tou paup anchorand go hoaae; tot I amn going to dosome-thing that will smake you feel real morti-fled."Thereupo, the agent went to the British

consul in the port and stated the es tohim. That official replied: "Oh, I wID maan-

that for you with pleasure." He order.a signal to be run up on the flagtaEover his office, by which communication

was made with a British gunboat in theharbor. It was a very dwarf of a gunboat,not much bigger than a cigar bon. It re-minded the observer of the .aamoa ogAbraham IAncoln's story, which came to afull stop when It whistled. Premently adingy put off from the gunboat and anoficeer In full unIform came ashore in it.He touched his hat to the consul and thelatter maid: "Please notify the Portugueseamimral that he will not fire upon theDutchman's place." The officer returnedto the gunboat, and premently another boatwas seen to make Its way to the Portu-guese flaguhip. It conveyed the commnand-er of the gunboat, who calmly Informed theadmiral that If he attempted to carry outhis threat the gunboat would blow him outof the water. Of course, the admiral couldhave sunk the gunboat with one shot, butInside of twenty-four hours there wouldhave been a dosen British warships in theharbor, and where would the Portuguesehave been then?Doldnesm Temapered With Judgment.Boldness, tempered with judgment, Is

the beat policy a naval commander canadopt. In 1873 there was trouble aboutCuba between Spain and the United States.At that time three Spanish ship. of warchanced to be In the harbor at New York,undergoing amall repairs. Their guns wereashore for the time being, and their am-munition had been landed on Ellis Island.One of the vessels was In the dry dock atthe navy yard. The furn having arisen, acal barge, by a most convenient accidentwas sunk directly In front of the gate othe caisson. The ship was ready to leavethe dry dock the. neat mnorning, but thisrendered It impossible to move her insideof three weeks. Meanwhile extraordinarydifficulties Interfered with the return ofthe guns and ammunition to the vessela.Thus the three warships were renderedpractically hors do combat. If heatilitleshad broken out they would have beenseized at once. The whole achemne was en-gineered by the United States odficer incommand at New York. At the same timethe fuses, of secret manufacture, wereabstracted frofln me of the Spanish shellaand forwarded to the Navy Department atWashington for examination. As may wellbe imnagined, the excitable Spaniards werealmost. crazy over the situation In which
