PLEASED WITH THE MAINE.
Capt. Bunce Reports on the Re-
cent Official Trial,

WASHINGTON, Oct. 19.-Capt. Bunce,
commanding the Maine, has made re-
port to the navy department on the
trial trip of that vessel Wednesday.
The trial lasted four hours. The con-
tractors expressed themselves as salts
fed. the average speed was .95 knots,
and the highest speed 1882. The
twenty-five miles of the measured
course was run against strong head
wind and tide, estimated at 1.6 knots.
The machinery worked splendidly. The
power developed cannot be shown until
the engineer experts now at work OH the
indicator cards have completed their
task. Commodore Melville estimates,
however, that the 5000 horsepower re.
Qured was exceeded by two or three
hundred. Commodore Melville also
looked critically over the Erics son,
which is preparing for her trial at New
London. He says he never saw better
work than was done on this boat, which
was built in Dubuque. The contractors
were new to navy work. and had many
difficulties to SurmOunt in getting ready
for the trial, trouble being experienced
in obtaining the highly skilled men alb
sOlutely necessary to man the boat.
Nevertheless she is making preliminary
runs every day, and breaking in her
screw, and it is expected that tn
horsepower trial will come off in day
or two, and the official speed trial soon
afterwards.
