AMERICAN WAR VESSELS.

The new navy of the United States is
not very large one for a first-class
power, perhaps, but it promises, should
its services be needed, to make up in effec-
tiveness what it lacks in size, and would
no doubt, if the occasion called for it, give
n splendid account of itself in a contest
with the vessels of any other nation of
ment. Already other powers are profit
ing by the improvements made in the
American vessels, especially Germany,
whose naval officers were so much pleas
ed with the Columbia on the occasion of
her visit to kiel at the opening of the
North German Canal, that the govein
ment on their recommendation has order.
ed two battleships and five cruisers of its
navy to be equipped with triple propel
lers. American naval engineers are very
much pleased at the. compliment thus
paid their Judgment by the German gov
eminent, particularly as there was con
siderable opposition to the triple screw
system when first suggested by Engineer
in-chief Melville. This government may
therefore properly claim the credit of first
applying this principle practically to
wal. ships and it's adoption by the Ger
man government is accepted as an en-
dorsement of the skill and ingenuity of
American navaI officers who have made
the Minnesota, the sister ship of the
Columbia, the fastest cruiser in the
world.
