In the new armored cruiser "New York;" launched at Philadelphia, on Dec 2, we have war ship of which we may we'll be proud. As cruiser she has no superior in the world, all things considered. Her speed will be great. viz, twenty knots maximum, and IS sustained sea speed, and an endurance at sea of 13OOO miles on total coal capac. ity. She will carry no sail. Her armor is and inches thick. and her battery is very powerful one, including six S inch rifles. Such ships as thls are whai we want to make our flag respected everywhere. and we are getting them, and like the "New York" they will be American throughout.
