A New Gunboat.

William Crump q Sons ship and en-.
gine building company have nearly
completeda dynamite cruiser, a gun
boat called the \ Yorktown, designed fer
the United States navy. 1t will be
launced on Saturday, April 2sth, In the
presence of Secretary Whitney. II car
ries four pneumatic guns for hurting
dynamite projectiles, each with range
at least one mile. The training of the
guns is accomplished by the steering of
the vessel, and the loading is done by
steam.
The guns are fifteen inches calIbre,
and the shells which can be fred with
great accuracy twice minute, will
contain 900 pounds of explosive gel
atine, equivalent TO s52 pounds OF dy-
Mantle, or e43 pounds of gun cotton.
II is claimed that this gun properly
handled will be the most destructive
engine of war ever invented, for the
heaviest armored ships in the world
Will go all to pieces from the explosion
of a shell much smaller than those
thrown by the guns of the Yorktown.
