vers OF the English squadrons have been pro-
verbal for the thoroughness and reality that
have attended their every detail, and the
discussions that they have given rise to have
been of greatest value in the formulating Of
methods for the carrying on of duty IN their
navy The Yorktown Is Of only 1,70O tons
displacement, and her battery is Of inch
guns with nine rapid fire and machine guns
She is the first of the vessels built by Messra
Cramp at Philadelphia. She has top speed
of li.tle over seventeen knots, and her cost
was $455, Goo
Should the graceful Dolphin be ordered to
the squadron she viii form by no means to
be despised addition Her qualities havebee
more thoroughly proved than those OF any
of the other vessels. as she has just completed
a cruise around the world, returning in such
excellent condition that she could be sent out
again almost Immediately to take her part In
the evolutionS
Early in November is the period fixed upon
for everything to be in readiness, and the
plan as at present drawn up should be carried
out, the squadron will start over for Lisbon,
touching on the way at the Azores and Ma
deira. Then it will work its way into the
Mediterranean, remaining but short while
at any one port, and probably will then
stretch down toward the West Indies or
Wichita eagle., 1890-01-03


South America The coal question will be
the all important one, as the bunkers of the
Boston and Atlanta are not very capacious;
and, as their soil power amounts to but little,
their engines will be the main reliance for
propulsion.
The commander in chief will be allowed
more or less independence in conducting the
movements OF his squadron, as in no other
way can the development SO satisfactorily
progress. The mere fact of steaming in
squadron and going In and out of port every
few days would make the cruise constant
school for the officers in handling these YES
sells The frequent tactical drills will IA
miliarize them with the powers Of their ships,
and the ease with which steam steering gear
and double screws admit Of this being done
will no doubt be surprising to those whose
sea life has thus far been passed in the old
style wooden ship. The drills about the in
dividual vessels will be of considerable value
to the service at large, as no manuals have
been thus far entirely satisfactory, and it has
been almost an impossibility TO adapt the old
systems of drill in use with muzzle loading
smooth bores to the requirements of the
breechloading rifles.
The electrical appliances for training the
guns and the electrical shell hoists are in an
experimental state, and whether the new YES
sells are to have them will depend largely
upon the report made on those already in
stalled One very important feature of the
exercises will be the target firing while under
way at sea, and interesting results may be
looked for, particularly with the large cali
Der guns. The recent speeding and turning
trials at Newport were In reality the prelim-
mary evolutions of this squadron, and afford
excellent data on which to base the COMPARE
tive merits of the different vessels What
they can accomplish under sail alone and
their behavior in weathering the Atlantic
gales are features that will be of interest to
professional men.
The drawing up of this programme, with q
view of accomplishing as much as possible
with the means at command, is an import
ant feature of our naval administration, and
will be an excellent test Of the value and eff
cheney of the departure from the older
methods. The squadron of evolution cannot
be too highly spoken of as regular part Of
naval training and preparation for war; it is
a school of the most elevated standard posi-
BILE, with the chances greatly in favor of the
best results for officers and men. 1t will
prune theories, point out defects and suggest
remedies with force and authority that the
navy has long been in need of, and it will
convey lessons next in value to those Taught
by war itself

THE FLYING SQUADRON.
A NEW DEPARTURE IN THE UNITED
STATES NAVY.

Important Results Expected from the Com
ing Cruise of the Chicago. Atlanta. Bos.
ton, Yorktown and Perhaps the Dolphin.
Rear Admiral j. G. Walker In Command.
For some years it has been the aim of va
rious naval officers high in authority to get
enough vessels together to form a squadron
of evolution, or flying squadron, as it is
now usually termed. Other powers have
fitted out similar sQuadrons, and it has been a
notable fact that discipline and efficiency
have never been carried to higher degree
of perfection than in such squadrons. In the
first place, the vessels selected must neces-
sariiy be in the best of condition to stand the
cruise, the motto Of which is always to be
ready for movement on the shortest possible
notice As the speed of feet or squadron is
obviously that of the slowest vessel, ships
having good speed and endurance are those
most generally selected. AS a rule. this
means the crack vessels of the navy, and
naturally, officers who are proud Of their
profession and anxious to see it succeed in
everything, are those most apt to be selected.
An officer to command such body is chosen

John Roach & Sons at Chester, and the con-
tract price was $3.50, 600 Owing to the nu-

pended is largely in excess of this estimate

The Atlanta, Capt. howell. the inventor of

TO naval vessels, and the Boston, Capt
O'kane, and sister ships of about $500 tons
displacement, also built by JOHN Roach &
Sons, and probably costing TO date about
$685., 900. Their batteries are extremely
heavy for vessels of their class. and although
they apparently carry them with ease, show
ing thus far no signs of being over weighted,
the latest practice OF the day is not in favor
of such heavy guns as the eight inch, the ten
dency being a larger number of quick fire
guns of smaller caliber, the projectiles from
which are sufficiently powerful to pierce the
sides of any craft against which these ships
would be called upon to fight.
Their batteries are two S-inch and six g.
inch breech loading steel rifles, with ten rapid
fire and machine guns; there are no torpedo
fittings for these vessels A radical depart
ure from the then existing methods of con-
struction is apparent in the build of these
ships, the raised portions forward and aft are
moved together. forming a superstructure
deck smidships, leaving the ends low and az
fordlng thereby free sweep for her large

An Old Iropclad.

The popular belief that ironclad men-of.
war are an invention of the last half Of the
Nineteenth century is evidently not founded
upon fact. Divers have recently been a,
work in the harbor Of Trieste and have
brought up portions of the French frigate
Danas, a ffty-xx gun frigste which was
wrecked seventy eight years ago. The wreck
had sunk so deeply in the sand as to be well
preserved. and it has been found that the hull
was of wood and was heavily plated with

possible to get enough vessels together in any
| one place to form respectable command for
| a rear admiral, as for flying squadron it
has been utterly impossible, and with the ter
ribly slow speed the word flying" would
most certainly be nnisnomer.
Since the government has begun building
steel cruisers with stanch frames and strong,
| powerful machinery, the case assumes differ
ent aspect, and the possibility of realizing
some of the long talked of and well digested
schemes has at last arrived. With the new
vessels and improved guns have come new
methods of doing things, which differ in
| many respects most radically from what Off
GERS and men, during the long period of stag
| nation, have been accustomed to. In those
! DAYS of what it is presumed may be now most
! properly called the sold navy" or perhaps
still earlier in the days of self supporting sail
! ing ships, method was not so indispensable,
although even then it made important con-
tributions to success, but in these days of
mastless armored ships, of coal and countless
mechanisms, torpedoeS, electricity, high pow
cred rifled guns and smokeless powders, a
dozen shops and factories contribute to the
outfit Of a single ship and a single mishtting
valve may cause disaster. Method, the most
refined and careful in detail, and the success
of which is tested by experiment and ma
newer, is absolutely requisite.
The vessels of the squadron, although not
up to the most recent date in their style of
construction, disposition of batteries. power
of machinery and so forth, are vessels that
those who serve in them will have no reason
to be at all ashamed of; as they are very
much superior to the foreign squadrons that.
as a general rule, are sent to visit our ports
They are unarfnored, to be sure, but they
have steel curved decks and more or less coal
protection to their vitals. The batteries of
the Boston and Atlanta are very much
heavier than any ships of similar tonnage
carry in other navies, they have fine sea-
going qualities, good maneuverng power
and are comfortable craft to serve in
Four, or at the most five, vessels, should the
Dolphin accompany the squadron, do not
make very large number for extensive evo-
buttons, but fer cruising or flying squadron
the differences in type, the electric appliances
and the various fittings make them well cal
culated to fill every requisite. Should the
present plan be carried out, all the other new
vessels, as they are put in commission ready
for sea service, viii join this squadron for
period of six months drill, and at the end of
that time, if they pass the rigid scrutiny of
the commandments they are to be de-
rons on a foreign station
