THE BRITISH NAVY
London, March 6. SPEAKING in the House of Commons Sir Charles Dilke said there were too few battle ships proposed under the Navy Estimates, in view of the increase in the French and Russian fleets. It was imperative that England should outbuild others, owing to the colonial ambitions of the Powers. Mr'Goscben, in reply, said another 6000 men would be added in 1898, •while the maximum active list required 110,000 men. It was intended to largely devolop the reserves, and in the event of war with any two Powers Great Britain would be distinctly superior, both in number and quality of ships. '
