THE MARBLEHEAD LAUNCHED.

Another Cruiser Added to the q. 8. Navy.
Bosros, Aug. 1.-The cruiser Marblehead
was successfully launched at o'clock this
afternoon.
Before one O'Clock, the hour setfor the launch
ing Of q. 8. Cruiser No. IL, the immense ship
yard Of Harrison Loring At South Boston was
lively place, with its busy shipwri9hts hurrying
TO and fro under the towering mass Of steel,
putting ON the finishing touches Of the lubrica-
tor TO insure perfect launch.
Added to this scene Of busy work was that of
the hundreds of holiday makers, who had come
BY invitation Of the contractors to see the
ship meet the water. There were hun
dreds Of them and like the ship they were
dressed ont in their gayest coiors. Assistant
Secretary Of the Navy, James Russell Solely,
represented the government at Warrington and
Coy. Russell and q number Of members Of the
legislature were present for Massachusetts
The city Of Boston was also well represented
by members Of the board Of aldermen and
common council.
At the appointed hour the signal was given to
knock away the shores, and amid the cheers Of
the spectators cruiser No. II slipped slowly
down the ways into the water % the Marble

THE MARBLEHEAD.

The Marblshead is the third and last of the
2.0OO-ton steel cruisers authorized by the act of
Congress Of September Z, 1888, to be launched
The first Of these three 'second-class partially
protected cruisers" the Detroit, was launched
at Baltimore on October % last year. The Sec
ond one put into the water was the Montgom-
cry, at Baltimore on December following.
Harrison Lorihg received the contract to
build the Marblehead Oil November IL. 1889,
with the condition that she should be COM
pleted, ready to be turned over to the govern
ment thirty months from that time, or by May
II last. The price agreed upon for building
this vessel. that is for her hull and machinery,
was s674.0o0, with penalties prescribed for
non-completion within the limit agreed upon
in the contract.
The principal dimensions of the cruiser are:
Length on water line, 257 feet; beam, 81 feet;
draught, 14H feet; displacement. 1000 tons;
maximum horse power 800; speed, II knots.
An incentive to reach a higher speed than the
one agreed upon Is contained in the contract,
in which the government has promised q
premium Of 900 for each quarter of a knot
maintained in excess Of the speed guaranteed
at the final four hours steam trial; and
for each quarter OF knot that she falls
below seventeen knots q penalty Of the same
amount will be exacted from the builders
The motive Is provided by triple expansion
engines of the vertical inverted type, one on
each side Of the vessel and connected with each

capacity for AS tons of coal. The vessel has no
armor plating. 90 defined, but her protective
deck, which starts at point below the water
line at the sides, curves upward aulidships and
is eleven-sixteenths Of an inch thick on the
slopes, nine-sixteenths on the level over the
machinery and slightly thinner at the ends.
The battery will consist of two six-inch
breech-losding rides one mounted forward on
the forecastle and the other aft on the poop
deck. the crews being protected from the
enemy's fire by steel shields SO inclined that
the shot striking them will be detected; eight
tive-inch breech-lOading rifles mounted in spon-
SONS. four on each side of the ship; sig six
FOUNDER and two one-pounder rapid-fring
guns and two Gatling guns
Contrary TO practice. as followed in the larger
cruisers, Of dispensing with masts and sails for
auxiliary power. the Mnrblehead has two mas.s
and IL to have the rig of a schooner. This rig
will result In saving OF part of the heavy
coal bills. In addition to the sails when not
under steam. she could carry large staysai-
sail between the fore and main masts. She
also has two smoke pipes. or one for each fire
room, Sc. Of boilers being in each.

FIGHTING SMALLPOX.
New York Preparing to Cope With the
New Enemy.

New York Preparing to Cope With the
New Enemy.
New York, Aug. 1.-THE health officers
have been thoroughly aroused to the present
smallpox emergency. They have ceased to
hold conferences about it and have set to work
to stop it. That step having been reached the
emergency will shortly have ceased to exist"
SO says President Wilson of the health board
today. He speaks very emphatically Of the
ability OF his men to cope with this enemy as
they did with the typhus fever and in as short
q time
President Wilson made this official statement
today: I'VE recommend that energetic measures
be taken at once to prevent the spread Of small
pox in this city.
1.-The fact that the disease has appeared in
the summer months, when windows are
contagion reduced to minimum, indi-
Gates the possibility of an outbreak
this fall and winter. We have therefore
to commence with taking the districts
bounded by Canal street on the south, 14th
street on the north, Broadway on the east and
twenty equal parts so far a. the
tenement houses are concerned. To each
district is allotted physician, who
will make house to house and u room to room
inspection, examining everything and every
body with the view of finding any concealed
babies and look out generally for sanitary mat
ters
1.-The plan Of the health officers, which Is being
carried ont today, is to make the most Of the
agencies they have. Every infected house,
every tenement in which case Of
smallpox has occurred, every one
to which the contagion has had
chance to spreadby contact Of the tenants with
those Of infected houses, Ia to be kept under the
closest surveillance, not only by the doctors,
but also by policemen In uniform, al was done
during the typhus plague. The whole sanitary
police force viii be pressed into that duty II
need be.
''Take the tenementhouse in Houston street in
which italian was found dead from the dis
ease yesterday az an instance. The house Is
undergoing disinfeetion from top to bottom
The tenants will be counted, vaccinated and
The latter is to see that none of them gets
away. II any one should do 60, he or she will
be tracked, ard if he is found to have run away
with the smallpox to avoid the hospital, those
who helped in the escape, IL they can be con-
victed. will be punished with the utmost rigor
Of the law"
imprisonment in Jail will follow any attempt
to hide the disease. As fast a. new cases de-
velop they will be passed off to North Brother
Island at once, where the best of care will be
taken Of them III the hospital, and they will be
infinitely better of than in the stewing tone
ments in this hot weather.
Within q few days the infected district will
be, it is supposed, under very close surveillance
and thoroughly in hand. Doctors will invsde
every shop or factory where the sufferers from
the plague have been working and will vsccinate
every one there who has not recently been %
protected.
President Wilson calls attention to the fact
that the disease cannot have much material to
work upon outside Of the ignorant Italian
element

aud most important visitor at republican ma
tional headquarters this morning. He talked
with Chairman Carter and Secretary McComas

be carried for Harrison as in 1888.
u. W. Hahn Of Ohio. who WAS a delegate at
large to Minneapolis. was also a caller. He
voted for Mckinley for the nomination. but had
no feeling against Harrison. He reports that
the campaign in Ohio IL in the best possible
shape. Mr.. Hahn believes that the republican
majority will be larger than that received by
Mckinley last year. and he had almost q 900.
Visitors from Alabama and Iowa have been
listed to for the last few days by Chairman
Carter and Gen. GARRISON. 1t il the idea to
have the situation in the various states clearly
explained by men who understand the ques-
tons. Indiana and Illinois will be considered
today and tomorrow. and next week the north
western states viii be taken up.
