NEW YORK, December 29.-A despatch
to the Herald today from La Seyne,
France, describing the new Chilian war
ship, Captain Frat, says:
She is fitted with powerful engines COM
bining all the latest improvements and is
guaranteed to steam eighteen knots an
hour. ALI her engines are now In working
order. If necessary shelcOuld steam out to
sea at once; but she has been delayed by
the non-arrival of her armament, which is
coming from Havre.
She will mount in her main battery four
guns, having calibre of 81 centimetres
70 45 inches), two amidships. one forward
and one ait; four guns of IL centimetreS
a 70 inches) forward and aft; six rapid
fire guns of five centimetres Il 81 1nches),
four rapid fire guns (two Nordenfeldt and
two Hotchkiss) of two centimetres calibre
(0.78 of an iDcb).
None of the above have yet arrived, but
all the armor shields are in place, as well
as the gun machinery.
If the vessel is to be thoroughly finished
and armed and is TO have the alterations
and fitting of sopedoes made and is to
wait until she can receive her guns-which,
understand. have not yet left Havre-and
if she has to undergo the usual preliminary
trials of ships of war, do not think she
can be ready for sea before the expiration
of two months; but she could under pres
sure, armed with torpedoes and small guns
get underway in month.
