Concerning tie Charleston.

WASHINGTON, May 22d.-News coming from
San Francisco is to the effect that while there
is reason TO believe that the new cruiser Charles
ton will ultimately succeed in fulfilling the con-
tract requirements, much remains 10 be done
upon the vessel, and probably at the Govern
ment's expense. before this expectation is
realized.
The present air-pump failed to give sufficient
vacuum and must be replaced by a pump of
another type. The defective slides which were
spoken of in the report upon the trial trip as
the cause of the failure must be altered in de-
sign and other changes made. as the same
trouble was experienced in the case of the
Naniwa-Kan, the Cherlestons prototype. The
inference is that they arise from faults in the
drawings furnished by the English designers
rather than in the workmanship, which is said
to be OF excel ent character.
