Congress Fails to Fund Training Ship Completions
Congress did not approve the Navy Department request for 126000 to finish two training ships at Boston and Mare Island, forcing work stoppage on the Cumberland and potential halts for the Intrepid. The lack of funds risks delaying midshipman and apprentice training while Connecticut at New York yard may continue with available money. At San Juan, Arkadia sailed without clearance, fined 22000 for carrying Porto Rico regiment troops to Roosevelt's inauguration. Annapolis endorses compulsory four-year athletics for midshipmen. Colorado leaves League Island for maneuvers in Porto Rico, then Pensacola and Boston. Western Union telegraph code adopted for all ships to boost secrecy and cut costs.
