The Hachi gives serious warning to the naval authorities in regard to the con- struction of battleships in home yards. There is no denying, it says (according to a translation by the Japan Timer) that the interan corroption in the Nary as reached such a point that is now dis carnible to outsider The extension of the Navy is certainly desirable, but the very importance of this branch of the Service justifies us in demanding that the naval authorities oparciso their utmost care in the management of their affairs" The blunders and malpractices recent rumours ascribe to them, however, are calculated to lower the reputation of our Navy in the eyes of the vigilant Powers and in fact to reduce its very efficiency.
