The yearly budget of the navy is about $700,000, or a little less than
one twenty-fourth of the entire national expense.

There are no cruising squadrons as yet, although more than half of the
fleet is kept constantly in commission, policing the coast of Patagonia
and the home coast.


AUSTRIA.

The Imperial Council being composed of three Ministers only, holding
respectively the portfolios of foreign affairs, war, and finance, the
navy although a branch of imperial control (as distinguished from the
separate cabinets of Austria and of Hungary) is not distinctively
recognized in the Council. The head of the Marine Section of the
Ministry of War is a Vice-Admiral, who is Commander-in-Chief of the
fleet and under whose direct control is placed the superintendence of
all the departments of the navy, the Admiralty of the war station of
Pola, and the command of the maritime district of Trieste.

The personnel of the navy has a double “cadre,” one for war and
another, somewhat reduced, for peace, there being during time of
peace a reserve division of officers composed of those whose services
can best be spared. The corps and grade divisions of the personnel
correspond with those of other navies, the names and cadres being as
follows:
