Mrs. Batcheller then went up town

Of the big cases decided and one that has
excited great desl Of interest, was a
suit for malicious prosecution and the
recovery of $4,000 by NJ. NJ. Rockhold,

Mr.. Rockhold was arrested on capiss

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, April S.-CharieH
Il. oramp, the head OF the great ship

danger from the Italian iron.clads.
They'll never come over here" he
said, confidently. an the first place,
they can't carry coal enough to make
such q voyage safe. Then their great
draught would make 1t impossible for
them to do much damage here. They
are not. familiar with our coast, and
would be in constant danger Of ground
ing the moment they came near the
coast.
"They carry heavy guns, but except
for firing on city, those guns are not
effective much over a mile, and the new
cruisers recently constructed could be
very effective by circling about the mon
sters and 'peppering them with long
range rihed cannon, and drawing them
into shallow water. If a shot from one
Of the iron.clads struck one Of our
cruisers, 1t would, OF course, do consid'
cradle damage, but, except by chance,
tits doubtful II, at such a distance, any
gunner in the Italian navy could hit
such small object as a vessel going at
the rate Of from fifteen to twenty knots

Los ANGELES, CAL, April S.-secre-
tary OF War Proctor was interviewed
here yesterday before his departure for
San Diego. The Secretary said that he
did not think the present war furry
would resultin anything serious with
Italy. He did think, though, that the
effect Of it would be to wake up Con.
gress to the necessity OF better coast de-
fences and larger navy. Guns OF not
less than eight-inCh calibre are required
and from that up to ~. In speaking Of
armament, the Secretary said: II con.
slider l7.inch guns carried by the large
Italian war ships as somewhat Of an ex.
pertinent. After the guns reach Ger.
tain size, the increase OF internal surface
Is very great and the immense explosive
power Is more likely to injure or break
them. think the most seryicable Of
the large guns are the 8, 10 and l2.inch.
In addition to the new gun factory, the
last Congress made an appropriation OF
$1,000, 900 for the purchase Of large guns
manufactured by private concerns. That
will furnish us with 100 large pieces.
New York Is not without considerable
degree Of protection, as we have quite

A few OF these, mounted on any ordi-

Americas greatest point OF strength
