A New Kind of Cruiser in the British
NAVY.
Glasgow Herald.

Ni'tSS, Wv thVAoiu
The new belted cruisers, or, as they
have been called in Parliament, the
"new Merseys," for which certain
shipbuilders have been invited to len
der, differ from their more recent
predecessors in having ten feet more
beam, being 800 feet by fifty-six feet,
and in having an increase of /, 300
tons in the displacement, making
them up to 5000 tons. The protective
deck has been replaced by an armor
belt 200 feet long, formed of ten-lnch
steel>faced armor of six inch backing.
The ends are protected by an UNDER
water belt similar 10 the Merseys. AS
the ends of the belted cruiser are very
fine, the part of the water-line net
actually protected ~ armor is pro
portionately very small. The engines
of these vessels are to be 1000 horse
power to be obtained by the use of
forced draught in close stokeholc.
There are four boilers, doubleended,
having total gra!e surface of about
500 square feet, and working at a
pressure of 100 pounds. Their total
weight is not TO exceed 720 tons. They
are of similar type to those supplied
to the Leander class by Me. srs.
Robert Napier & Sons, having cast
steel framing and hollow steel shaft
ing throughout.
The armament consists of two
eighteen ton guns, arranged-one for
ward, to fire half around the bow to
about fifty degrees abaft the beam,
and one aft, 10 fire through a similar
sweep round TIE sterr. In addition
to those there are Twelve four~ton
guns and six machine guns. A
torpedo armament will be provided,
both above and under water. The
construction of the hull does not
materially differ from that of the
smaller and earlier iron -clads OF Her
Majesty's navy, such as the, Nelson
and Conqueror, bat they are of steel
throughout.
These belted cruisers will each be
manned by a crew of from $50 to 350
officers and men, for whom very good
acc cc9mmodation is found on the sec
ond deck above the water-line. All
the usual refinements Of cruiser have
to be provided in their most modern
form When completed these vessels
will be works of modern engineering
second to none. AS vessels OF war
they can not fail 10 he formidable.
Their weak points seem to De their
speed, which is not to be more than
eighteen knots.

London, as quickly as possible. his re-
port and that of Captain Yates of the
coaflict on the Kushk River.

garded as inadequate in official circles.
Earl Granville, British Foreign VI Minis-
ter, Immediately after the adjournment
of Mondays Cabinet meeting, had an
interview with Fehmi Pasha, special
envey from Turkey, and Count Karelyi,
the Austrian ambassador. Sir Peter

THE Official Messenger Monday pub

in his telegram that the menacing at.
titude of the Afgans in advancing so
closely 70 his lines and occupying
several available positions, together
with the refusal of the Afghan com.
mander TO pay any attention to his pro-
tests, made him expect that the Afghans

4 Clever SWindlo.


The other day an itinerant musician,
who carried under his arm a weather,
stained violin entered provision shop
il the Rue des Martyrs. Paris, and
bought pound or two Of cooked ham.
Suddenly discovering he was money
less, he left his violin with the shop
man, and ran home to get the trlflng
sum of which he was in need. During
his absence carriage drove up at the
door, and distinguished looking
stranger having alighted from it
entered the shop and ordered large
quantity of goods to be sent to Lord
Russell, p" at the Grand hotel. While
thus engaged he caught sight of the
violin, picked it up with the air of a
virtuoso, examined it very carefully,
and finally offered to buy it for l, 900
francs. The shopman explained that
the instrument was not his, but offer
ed to see what could be done. The
stranger then withdrew, and the rags
ged musician, who soon after return
ed with his money, gladly accepted
500 francs for his violin. The jubi-
lent shopman thereupon put on hat
