In committing the death sentence

OUR NEW WARSHIPS,
Several Great Naval Vessels
Soon to Be Launched.
BUILDING At TEN PLACES.
Giving Employment to Ten Tho usand
Men-The Battle Ship Oregon
to Cost S3,ISO,OOO.

There is no parallel, at least in Ameri-
can annals, to the present activity in
naval circles, no parallel in peace or war
period, no parallel in the wonderful ad-
vance made in the science of ship-building,
in the development of naval architecture
or in the progress toward perfection in
rapid firing guns.
Within three years the navy will be
practically complete. every port of note on
seacoast and lake frontier protected from
attack. And the American navy will have
no peer in its squadrons of cruisers, battle
ships, monitors or torpedo boats.
During the present year several of the
stanchest cruisers and at least two of the
battle ships will be launched At the
Brooklyn navy yard the Cincinnati is
rapidly nearing completion. a great force
of men working daily, and it Is believed
by Commodore Erben that she will be
ready for christening within two or three
months. AT Cramp & Sons, where the
New York is building, the protected cruis-
e-s, Nos. II and IL. the former, the Pirate
will probably be launched before the end
of the year, as well as the great coast line
battle ships, the Massachusetts, and Indi-
ana, both of which will have a dispiace-
ment of 1000 or 5000 tons-larger than
that of the battle ship Texas. launched at
the Norfolk navy yard June % of this year.
On both of these vessels the armament
will be in advance of that of the
Texas. But the most important feature of
all the battle ships and cruisers now build
ing|will be the application of the sys-
TEN of rapid firing guns. They are dis
tlnctlve in their use of brass cartridge

of the ships is the same, as is also the

iiof the ships is the same, as is also the
armament
The cruiser building at Boston, No. IL.
is to cost 1914, 900, and in armament and
general design is almost the exact coun-
terpart of the Detroit. The Monadnock,
the double-turreted monitor now being
constructed at Mare Island, is on the
plan of the Miantonomah, which has but
recently gone into commission. Its arm
arnent consists of four 10-ineh breechload-
ing rifles, two 6-pounders, two 3-pounder
rapid firing guns, and two 37-milimetre
revolving cannon. Then two Gatlings
complete the outfit.
The Pirate will be. perhaps, the next
protected cruiser to be launched at
Cramps. 1t is to cost 50. 725. 900, and has
displacement somewhat less than that
of the New York. 1t is the first of the
new cruisers In which the original designs
included the 6-inch rapid firing guns.
Thus 1t Will be seen that Uncle Sam is
preparing to protect his coast from inva-
sion. There is one point on which the de-
partment is at sea. IL was originally in
tended, so at least is the report, to build
at least two of the practice cruisers. But
the Bancroft, which has just been launched
at Elizabethport, and the cost of which is
$3.50, 200, has proven altogether too small,
and 1t is likely that new practice cruiser
Will be ordered, designed on a more ex-
tensive scale.
