THE CRUISER COLUMBIA.
Not Ordered to Cross the Ocean nj
Her Extreme Speed.

Not Ordered to Cross the Ocean mt
Her Extreme Speed.
Considerable misappreher sion exists in
regard to the speed trial of the cruiser Co.
lumbia on her return trip from Southamp-
ten to New York Secretary Herbert said
to a Star reporter today that it IS not true
that the Columbia has been ordered to
cross the Atlantic at her extreme speed
"Such speed could only be attained" he
said, "by using forced draught all the way
across; to do this would require a larger
force of engineers. firemen and oilers than
are now on the ship. in order that they
might be divided into greater number of
watches than is practicable at present. To
ascertain what the ship is capable Of doing
in her present condition and with her pres
ent ordinary force of fremel and oilers
she has simply been ordered TO all her
boilers in coming across, but not to put
on forced draught until during the last
twenty-four hours. Such test as this
will not afford the means of comparing her
speed accurately with that of the great
flyers. using they DO always much
fuller force of oilers and firemon than are
ordinarily aboard q ship Of war"
