Battleship and Cruiser.

The difference between q battleship
and an armored cruiser is technical, and
experts have stumbled over the matter
A battleship is supposed to have heavier
guns and armor and to be better fitted
to withstand hard knocks from an op-
posing force. But this does not always
hold good, as may be seen i'll the case CT
the Maine as compared with the Brook
Ign. The Maine was battleship, but
she was not SO large nor SO heavily ar
mored as the armored cruiser Brooklyn.
On one point there seems to be no dis
pute, and that is the fact that the
cruisers are faster than the battleships,
and it is conceded also that in most in
stances the battleships are better pro
tected. New York Tribune.
