PORT SEWARD NAVY AWAITS NEW CRUISER:
The battleship "pete” is soon to lose her place
as the flagship of the Post Navy-Apparently the Washing
ton Conference for the Limitation of Armaments missed a
bet when they allowed the Alaskan fleet to be enlarged,
and not reduced .All this as a preface to the announce
ment that the new Port Seward boat,-the “Pornance1' is
very likely already on the way to this port, as she was
scheduled to leave Seattle about inarch 20th.The journey
north should be made in about ten days,so that it will
not be long before the Admiral’s flag will be hauled down
from the peak of the "Pete" and transferred to the new
craft.The "Pornance" is a larger boat than the "pete",
and will prove a welcome addition to our naval forces.
