OUR NEW BATTLE SHIP.


.suI~sTo>. Aug. 12.-Thc Navy De
par,ment has begun the preliminary plans
for the new arrnored cruiser and the new
battle ship provided for by the recent naval
appropration hill, and will lose as little
time a: possible in getting ready to let the
contracts for their construction.
The armored cruiser which will probably
he named the BROOKLYN. will be q reproduc-
tion of the New York, with some moditica-
tious. already mentioned in The Times.
The battle ship will follow very closely
the model of the three battle ships now being
bnilI. hut will be somewhat larger. Her
displacement will be II 400 tons as against
10 400 tons for the Massachusetts, and
her two sister ships. She will thus
lie the largest vessel in the navy.
Recent experience having emphasized the
necessity for great coal endurance in the
vessels of the United States Navy, particu-
larly on account of the complete absence of
coaling stations abroad, much of the addi-
tjonal displacement will be devoted to coal
hunkers. and she will carry 400 tons more
coal than the Massachusetts,.
She will also have more powerful engines
IL 900 indicated horse power. against
. 900 for the Massachusetts. This is ex-
will he capable of making seventeen knots
per hour. as against sixteen knots for the
/ Massachusetts, This will make her the
fastest heavilv-armed and heavily y-armored

( She will have larger boilers than any
/ other vessel vet built in this country. They

The freeboard of the vessel will probably
be increased somew hat 80 as to increase the
heigh, of her great guns above the water
and give her greater efficiency IN rough
water. TO compensate for the sdditlona
weight thus imposed, her armor may bs
somew hat thinner than that on the Nassa
chusett-. a. the late improvements in tbs
quality of armor produced in this couutr!
has made it possible to obtain the sam'
amount of protection with less thickness O

The general arrangement of the batter,

inches to twelve inches in calhrc, SO "a t.

The economy of weight is very import
