Secretary of the Navy Bonaparte updates President Roosevelt on a number of issues that Roosevelt had inquired about. The battleships of the Asiatic Station have already been given orders to return as soon as possible–one will undergo repairs at San Francisco, and the other will return to the Atlantic Coast and join the Atlantic Fleet Battleship Force under Admiral Robley D. Evans. Bonaparte has received a report on the topic of bad meat at the New York naval yard, which he encloses. Bonaparte finally shares some plans for the posting of wage schedules, and reports on the untangling of a controversy between the Bureau of Navigation and a local Naval Militia. Plans for an upcoming naval review are going smoothly.
