of criticisms which The Tribune has made from time To
time ever since her plans were purchased by the
Cleveland Administration from Armstrong Il SOEs, OF
agland. They were the rejected plans for Cruiser
No. o. for the Spanish Government. The vessel was
built and put into commission, and The Tribune was
the first paper to note the fact that her metaeenrc
pOint was found to be too low. Extra ballast. as
water and GOAL carried in her cruise in the West
Indies year ago. and upon her return her three steel
masts were removed and two wooden masts put in
When she sailed from here she was in much better
trim than before the changes made and letter
which have received from of her officers says that
she is In much better seaworthy condition. True, they
carry water In the double bottom. but only In bad
weather when she rolls heavily II Is likely that when
she returns some changes will be made in the deck
houses and that about 200 tons of pig lead will be put
In her bottom for ballast.
