his mail steamers and his submarine ca
bles, thus running his commerce. his busi-
ness and ~ source OF supply--in one word
starving him out But to make such a cam
paign We must have very different cruis-
ers from the lame ducks which we now
have, and which are almost good for moth
ing: The United States has the Columbia
and the Minneapolis, model cruisers al
though to-day they might be improved
upon. But IS our engineering department
so insensible TO progress that Il will not
even copy the best ships OF foreign powers,
embOdying in them the improvements
which their designers have found TO be
desirable? We should certainly have a
large number OF such cruisers OF even SUI
perior ones. We can build them. and they
are Indispensable. Why do we hesitate
when the models are in existence"
In smaller cruisers Great Britain has
about ten OF the Baltimore class. Of which
we have the Baltimore, the Philadelphia.
the Newark and the San Francisco, Eng
land has nothing like the Olympia, but Is
completing three cruisers OF her class.
Six English vessels compare with the
cruiser Charleston and this class IN the
United States navy may he said to ne aug
mented by the Atlanta and the Boston
which, however, while good fighters. do
not possess sufficient speed.
The Raleigh and the Cincinnati. of our
navy, are all that we have to balance
against twenty-seven cruisers of the same
class possessed by Great Britain She
also has nine TO ur three Of the Detroit
class of cruisers, but all these are as
signed to duty In Australian waters,
cruisers The comparison OF eight 20 three
is observed with reference TO vessels OF
the class Of which our gunboat Yorktown
Is type.
Concerning smaller craft Great Britain
has about thirty-fve of the torpedO-gun-
boat type, ranging in size from 500 to- 900
tons, the majority being 500 tons. The
principal role of the vessels would be OPP
erations against our torpedo boats. but II
Is not probable. that they would be
brought to America. OF torpedo-boat de-
stroyers England had about twenty com
pleted, and about twenty others. which
could he made ready for service in a
few months. The dynamite cruiser Nesuv-
iuS. whose fate as an effective war ma
chine seems to have been settled unfav-
orably, is the only vessel the United
States has that can be compared with
these torpedo-gunboats.
A comparison may also be found I'm the
English torpedo-ram Polyphemus and the
ram Kathadin, the question of whose
acceptance by the government Secretary
Herbert has left for the determination or
congress. In small gunboats like the Pc
trel of our navy Great Britain has twenty
five or thirty, and in gunboats slightly
larger, like our Castine and Machias. she
has six or eight.
