Memorandum concerning the Brazilian dreadnoughts now building in England

Memorandum concerning the Brazilian dreadnoughts now building in England

Commander Sims supplements a memorandum he had submitted several months ago with a recent letter from Lieutenant-Commander Simon P. Fullinwider. Fullinwider writes that he has not found much definite information about the Brazilian Dreadnoughts. While there are plans for dock construction and for the expansion of the Brazilian Navy with these ships, Fullinwider suggests that these plans coming to pass is somewhat dubious.

Report from Henry Glass to William H. Moody

Report from Henry Glass to William H. Moody

Rear Admiral Glass informs Secretary of the Navy Moody that he is sending a tracing of a map prepared by a lieutenant. Glass points out the non-existence of roads, and states the rivers are the main methods of communication and the only way for Colombia to get forces into the region. Glass then details the three routes the Colombian army will have to use to attack Panama. Glass then discusses the advantages of using particular harbors as bases for their ships. Finally, Glass reports that the San Linus and Andres de Providencia islands have been occupied by the Colombians.
