The original designs also provided for
flfteen-inch dynamite gun mounted for
ward, but this, too, was removed when the
weights were reduced.
Three torpedo boats, the Gushing, stiletto
and Alarm, and one dynamite cruiser, the
Vcsuvius, have been secured by the Govern
ment during tho past Ave years. The stiletto
is wooden vessel of 81 tons burden. Her
speed is little over Is knots, and she
carries nothing but torpedoes. The hlarm
is steel vessel Of the modern type,
with a displacement Of 800 tons, and q
speed Of 10 knots. Her battery includes
ono 6inch breeh.loading gun, two rapid
firing 8-pounders and one Hotchkiss gun.
The Gushing is as yet the only vessel OF her
kind in the navy, and she stands very near

The Dolphin is the smallest and trimmest
of the four cruisers first put into commits
sion, and she is also the equal in speed Of
amy OF the other three. Her displacement is
I,4S5 tons and her speed lbl9 knots, Her
armament includes one 6-inch brooch

In designing the new battle ships of the
FIRST clRss-the Oregon, Indiana and Massa-
ohusetts-the Government, which has been
satisfied to have foreign nations make the
experiment at their own expense, profted
by their experience and discarded the
ponderous ll0-ton guns with which their
early battle ships were armed. The speed
Of our battle ships will be greater than
those OF Great Britain aud their guns i'm
measurably superior. Following Is CON-
parison of their batteries:
United States-Four 87-ton guns, l3-inch
calibres; eight sinch guns four 6-inch
guns twenty 6-pounders; four l-pounders {;
two Gatltngs.
Great Brtain-Four 81 ton guns, l3h.

6pounders eight 3-pounders.
The dimensions Of the ships are as fol-
lows Length on the load water line, 34s

10000 tons; coal endurance, 5000 knots.

well as in regard to her armor and arma-
ment, she is far superior to the Mantono-
moh and other vessels Of the low free board
turreted type which are now building OF
iron and which are equipped with inclined
compound engines. None OF these latter
vessels has a speed Of more than twelve
knots and none Of them has an armor plat
ing OF moro that twelve inches.
The Monterey, however, is to have an
armor plating averaging thirteen inches in
thickness covering her sides, turrets and
barbettes. Hor main battery will consist
OF two l2inch and two lQ-ipch breech-
loading rifles. Her secondary battery is
to consist of six 6-poupdeF rapid fire guns,
fouF l-poupder rapid-fre guns and two
Gstlings. The date Of the act authorizing
her building was March 3, 1887, and the
amount appropriated for the cost of her
hull and machinery was 81, ,62s,95O,
AS originally designed the Monterey
mounted sixteen-inoh gun In tho forward
harbette, which was 10 inches thick,
and twelve-inch gun In tho after bar
bette. which was ID inches thick. The
battery was so heavy that the guns could
not be adequately projected and the rate

ships of the navy to make comparisons with
foreign yesseis. We have our own standard,
and we have the right to congratulate our
selves that the standard is unsurpassed by
any other navy in the world"
An additional reason for pride is that
the recent armor tests at Annapolis have
proved the most important IN modern
history, and give the United States o
quality of armor far superior to any yet
used abroad.
That work on the new vessels will be
rapidly pushed is certain, and it can be sue
cesstully carried on, as the Congress just
closed appropriated s8o,o0o,oO0 for The
completion of the ships now under way
nnd Others to be constructed.
The Atlanta, Boston, Dolphin and Chi
cago-the nucleus OF the new navy-are
among the best vessels of their class. Tho
Boston aud Atlanta are identical In their
construction, armament and speed. They
have each displacement Of 8, ls9 tons and
speed OF l61s knots, Each carries two
,-inch and six 8-iuch breech-loading rifles,
two 2-pound, two 3-pound and two l-pound
rapid-aring guns four Hotchkiss revolving
and two Calling guns, Tho Chicago has q
larger displacement, but is less speedy than
the two vessels pamed, its displacement be-
ing A,500 tons and It's average speed n
knots.

Her battery consists OF twelve breech.

ers, four rapid firing 3-pounders, two rapid
firing 4-pounders, three HotchRiss revolving
cannon and four Gatling guns The Newark
and San Francisco both closely resemble
the Philadelphia ana their batteries are the
same. They each, however, have dis
placement OF 4,0sS tons, the Newark a speed
of is knots and the San Francisco OF over 20
knots. The former was built in Philadel.
pbia by the Cramps and the latter at the
Union Iron Works in San Francisco. The
cruiser Charleston, commenced before any
of these vessels Just described was also
built in San Francisco, showing that the
Pacific as well at the Atlantic coast can be
safely depended upon to turn out vessels of
the first class,
OF the four new gunboats, the Petrol,
Yorktown, Bennington and Concord, the
latter three are built on the Runboat Archer
class of the English navy. They are twin
screw, partially protected cruisers, with a
displacement of 200 tons and speed of
is and IL knots an hour. The Petrol is a
single-sorew Runboat.

She is steel plated, has twin-screws, YER
