Washington, Aug. 24. The navy de. partment has opened bids for sixteen torpedo boat destroyersand twelve torpedo boats, to cost in the aggregate not to exceed 816,000,000, as provided in the last naval appropriation act. These twenty-eigh- t destroyers and Twtuty-EIg- torpedo boats constitute the largest single addition ever made to the navy. The destroyers are to be completed within eighteen months and the torpedo boats within twelvemonths. According to the requirements of the department, the destro3Ters are to have a guaranteed speed of 28 knots, and the torpedo boats 26 knots. The destroyers re to be alxrat 400 tons and are to cost not more than 8295.000 each, while the torpedo boats are to be about 150 tons and to cost not more than 8170,000 each. These destroyers will be the first vessels of that type added to onr navy except those improvised from yachts during the recent war emergency. A feature causing comment wasabid from Richard B. leyton of Williamsport, Pa., who offered to construct a destroyer with a 40 knot speed for 8295.000. Bids were generally received from all the ship builders, the prices for 29 knots ranging from 8190,000 to 8195. 000. NAVAL CASUALTIES. Only Twenty Men Bled on Our Ship From All (.'tunes During The War. Boston, Aug. 24. Admiral Sampson was informed today that the entire naval casualties from all causes during the war was only twenty. His reply, while it cannot be constructed as a reflection on the war department, points to the absence of causes which operate so disastrously to the army. He said: We know how to take care of onr men in the navy. You see, we are always on a war footing. That ia, today we handle ourselves in time of peace with as much exactness and discipline as in time of war. Our target practice in time of peace is carried out with as much care and precision as if we had the enemy constantly in sight In the same way we are so accustomed to the distribution of supplies and the eare of the sick from long training in peace that when war comes we are ready for anything. The men on most of the ships in the fleet had been for six months without going ashore until we reached New York Saturday, and they have borne up under the strain of a monotonous existence on shipboard and of a hot climate wonderfully well.
