Japan Gives Americans q Contract for
Cruisers Against Competition.
Washington, Jan. 2.-The awarding
Of contracts to the Cramp shipyard and
Union Iron works for two cruisers by
the Japanese government Thursday was
the conclusion of negotiations covering
many months, and was gratifying alike
to the minister and the companies, who
were represented by their respective
heads. Charles H. Cramp and Henry T.
Scott. The award to American build
ers was based largely on the merits
OF American ships, American armor and
american material. The contracts We're
signed at the japanese legation, where
there was present for the occasion the
minister and his official staff, a dele
gaticn of Japanese naval experts, con-
sisting of Commander K. Martha, Con-
tructor 8. Sakura and Constructor S.
Takura, and Messrs. Cramp and Scott.
The naval experts have been in this
country some months visiting American
yards and critically inspecting the war
ships which have been built for the
American navy. At the same time 9TH
er experts were inspecting the yards
Of England, France and Germany. and
a keen competition arose as to which
country would first secure a contract
That made Thursday proves to be the
first.
The ships are to be of 4,760 tons each.
They are to be of the type generally
known as protected cruisers of the sec

to the United States cruiser Columbia.
The ships will be very fast, the con-
tract calling for at least 22ls knots un-
