(Speelal Dlapatck by Leiard Wire te Th leorsal) Washington. Aug. It The exploit of the president In going ' down in the Plunger reveals the fact here that aome month ago h ordered a naval board to report to him on the subject of torpedo boats, submarines and otherwise. This action of th prealdsnt was Impulsive. It waa Just after the 'experiment of sending a torpedo flotilla from Hamp ton roads to the east via ths Sues canal. Th feat was performed," but the boats straggled, and It was alleged generally among th naval men that what was wanted was more ateam power in order that more of the room of the -veeeel should be taken up with power that could resist seas and wind. The' president summoned his naval Sid, Captain "Wlnslow, who is now In command of the Mayflower, te the White House. Captain Wlnslow had a long talk with the president. The talk resulted In some things being Jotted down by th president with respect to torpedo bouts, destroyers and submarihs boats, he having before him , the per formance of th submarines up to thai time, vis., last December. From that time to the present, the president has taken a keen Interest in the torpedo craft.- "W don't want any vainglory," aald th president to Captain Wlnslow, -who had pointed out-that the cruise of the torpedo vessels to the east had. proved nothing.. .

The interest of ths presides!, it I said. Is caused particu larly' by the alleged backwardness of ths Unltsd States. In submarine building. Several months ago officers of ths navy said that the United States was behind and this cam to the ear of th president. "What- ha -will -now recom mend Is problematical, but It Is poaalble he will make suggestions. There may be a new kind ef submsrlne boat.' ..
