IMPROVEMENTS TO THE CHICAGO.
Important Changes in Her Rig and
Battery RecnnlNn ended.


The naval inspection board. which recent
ly made a careful examination of the L. S.
s. Chicago, has made report to the Sec
retary of the Navy suggesting important
changes in the rig and battery of the ship
The Chicago was one of the first vessels
of the new navy to be launched, and she
has rendered excellent service, and has
made long cruises TO every part of the
globe. In the years she has been in sery-
ice great progress has been made in naval
instruction, and in view of the good
qualities of the ship the board believes
that she should be supplied with modern
appliances. Congress has already made an
approximation to fit her with new engines
and boilers, which are now being con-
structed and will result in largely in
creasing her speed and coal endurance.
Now the board expresses the opinion that
her battery should he brought up to date.
This now consists of four eight-inch, eight
siX-inch and two five-inch breech-loa ders.
The war in the east has emphasized the
belief of the ordnance officers that for the
smaller calibers the rapid-flre type guns,
using fixed ammunition like a revolver cart
torpedo boats and general efficiency. There
fore, the board has recommended that
while the eight-inch guns be retained.
rapid-fire five-lnch rifles be substituted for
the six and five-inch breech leaders. 1t is
also held that the masts and rigging of the
Chicago are of no service.
