GREAT NAVAL EXPECTATIONS.
The Proposed 7,5OO-Ton Cruiser to be
the Fastest War Ship Afioat.

Naval engineers are watching with great in
terest the progress that is being made on the
drawings, plans and specifications of the 1900
ton cruiser provided for in the recently ap-
proved naval appropriation bill, the success of
which will be great triumph of American
enterprise and skill. This is the ship that is
TO BE FITTED WITH THREE SCREWS,
the first in this country. She is expected to
attain : speed of 22 knots, rate that has
hitherto been regarded as practically out OF
the question for vessels of this size. She is TO
develop a total of 10000 horse power,
force that should be quite equal to the task OF
driving such keen-lined ship as this is to be
through the water at the almos. abnormal rate
that is expected of her.
THE ARRANGEMENT OF THE SCREWS
has been about decided upon. The central
one will have the greatest depth and though a
foot smaller in diameter will probably be the
most effective of the three. 1t will be about
fifteen feet further aft than the other
two, which are to rise trif1e
from the horizontal in order to avoid interfer-
ence. They will also diyerge they leave the
hull. giving additional room for the uninter-
rupted motion of all three at the same time.
he angle that has been selected for the diver
gence of these forward screws will carry them
about % feet apart, which is fully feet further
than is the case in ordinary twin-screw ships
This will give her great turning powers. and
Will add to her effectiveness in maneuvering
There will be one set OF triple expansion
engines for each screw, so that there can be
seven combinations of movements-three by
one screw alone, one by two side screws to-
gcther, one by the starboard ard central
screws in unison, one more by the central and
port screws, and finally altogether. For or
dinary cruising the central screw alone will be
used, while for squirting all three will be made
to revolve.
TIE FNGfSra
for turning these great propellers-13 and 12
feet in diameter-will take up about half of
the total length Of the ship, which is to be AIS
feet long.
The vessel is regarded to large degree as
an experiment, although tests of the system
have been already made in Europe The only
real trial ship of this description. however, is
now in progress of constructon-the Dupuy
a great deal is expected. Her performance
however, whatever it may be. is not to be taken
as an indication of the performance of the
American vessel. as the latter departs from the
principles followed in the design of the former
in many instances.
THINKS THIS NATION FAR AHEAD.
An engineer officer gave expression to the
situation today when he remarked to q STAR
that the construction of this cruiser
aud her success-of which lie has no doubt-wiil
show this nation to be far ahead of all others in
the line of the building of war vessels. In fact
it is rapidly becoming apparent that all that
has hindered the American navy from becom-
ing the foremost of all has been the lack of
money wherewith to build.

A DIsBURsING OFFICER WANTED.
MIR. Douglass Says the District Govern.
ment is Enr0nvenienced.

Speaking of the adyisability and necessity of
having .gular disbursing officer or pay clerk
for the District properly bonded, Commissioner
Douglass said to STAR reporter today: ITO
show you how greatly we are in need of prop
erly authorized person to pay small checks 1
need but state that have before me a state
ment from the auditor, which shows that dur
ing the first twenty days of the present month
there were $50 checks drawn for $40 or under,
S75 were for sums less than IS and 200 were for
sums less than 81, and some as low as 8
cents. 1t seems perfectly ludicrous that SO
much trouble should be gone to for such a
trifing amount and l trust the time is not far
distant when the District will be provided with
disbursing officer. 1t will certainly save
time, trouble and expense"
