THE AMERICAN NAVY.
REPLY TO CANADIAN LIBELS. By Cable—Press Association—Copyright. Washington, January 21. Great indignation is expressed at Washington iyt the statements of Major Sliarpe in the Ottawa Parliament to the effect that few native Americans entered the United States Navy, and that those actually joining were no good, morally or socially: and that the navy was simply a home for destitutes, moral degenerates, and deserters from foreign ships.
Admiral has denied Major Sharpe's statements, asserting that Americans were the equal of any sailors in the world, and that the round-the-world cruise of the fleet proved this. Ninety per cent, df the sailors were native-born Americans.
