OUR NEW DYNAMITE CRUISER.
1t Is Claimed to BE the Most Destructive
Enpine of War Yet Invented.

It Is Claimed to he the Most Destructive
Engine of War Yet Invented.
PHILADELPHIA, April 1S.-The William.
Cramp g. Sons Ship and Engine Building
company have nearly completed a dynamite
crusier gunboat called the Yorktown, de-
signed for the United States navy. 1t will
be launched on Saturday, April IS, in the
presence of Secretary Whitney. 1t carries
four pneumatic guns for the hurling of dyn-
amite proiectiles, each with range Of at
least mile
The training of the guns is accomplished
by steering the vessel, and the loading is all
done by steam. The guns are fifteen inch
caliber, aud the shells, which can be fred
with great accuracy twice a minute, will
contain 800 pounds Of explosive gelatine,
equivalent to S53 pounds of dynamite or DAB
pounds of gun cotton. 1t is claimed that this
gun, properly handled, will be the most de-
structive engine of war yet invented, for the
heaviest armored ships in the world will go
all to pieces from the explosion of shell
much smaller than those thrown by the guns
on the Yorktown.
These guns are designed primarily to work
on the underwater portion of the hulls of
vessels, but if any inaccuracy in aim should
be developed on account of the pitching Of
the ship, great damage can be inflicted upon
the portion Of the hull above water A dyn-
amite gun made by the same concern has
just been made for the Italians and will be.
tested at Fort Lafayette in a few days by
Lieut.. Zalinski.

The Italians to Remain.

New YORK, April 18.-[Special.l -
The Emigration Commissioners for
Warded to Collector Magone yesterday
a report of their investigation of the
charge that eighteen Italian marble cut
ters, who arrived on the Rugia on Sun
day, were hired abroad by Boston
firm, and therefore came under the
prOhibitory provisions of the Contract
Labor Act. The Commissioners re-
ported that there was no evidence to
warrant them in stating that the Ital-
ians came under the ban. Deputy Col
lector McClelland, the law giver of the
custom house, thereupOn advised the
Collector that the report of the Com
missioners left him no alternative but
to permit the Italians to remain in
this country.
