Two New Battle=Ships and the Women Who
 ChpiStened Them

cousin of Major George Mckee of the regular army and Colonel Sam Mckee. who fell at Stone River.
 Miss Bradley's great great-grand- father, Isaac Bradley, was soldier under Washington, and was at Valley Forge, and her grandnncle, Isaac Brad ley, fell at Monterey. Her uncle, Judge Z T. Morrow, who insisted on Governor Bradley naming her to christen the Kentucky, is a grandson of Samuel Boyd, an officer who stood beside Law renee when he fell with the exclama- tion, Don't give up the ship"
 John Talbot of Danville, Ky, who lost his life on the Pacific in search of lost and helpless sailors-who was the first to go out voluntarily in an open boat on this perilous duty-was another cousin of Miss Bradley. His body was buried on the Sandwich Islands, and on the monument over his grave is this inscription, Greater love hath no man than this, that he gave his life for a friend" Thus it will be seen that through both lines of Miss Bradley's s ancestors she comes of a heroic race, and it was on this account that her many friends throughout the State pe- titioned the Governor to name her to chriSten the Kentucky. Miss Bradley ' disposition she greatly resembles her father. She possesses the strong will of the Bradleys to a marked degree. From her mother she inherits much beauty and musical genius. She was one of the most promising pupils at the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music. She is great student of literature and has already shown marked ability as a writer.
 Mrs Herbert Winslow is the daugh- ter of the late Lafayette Maynard, one of the most influential of early Califor- mia settlers, and granddaughter of Gen. eral Duff Green. She was born in Rich mond, Va, but came to the coast when quite a child. She was educated here and married here.
 Many of Mrs. Winslow's relatives still reside in this city and are promi- nent in local society circles. Mrs. Harry Dixon is a sister of the lady, Mrs. s. V. Maynard her aunt. and Mrs. William Gwin Jr. and Miss Sallie May hard her cousins.
 In appearance Mrs. Winslow is tall. slender, with an expressive intellectual countenance lit up with a pair of fine blue eyes. She carries herself well, and, while not beauty, is a remark Lieutenant Herbert WinsIow, U. s. N, is the son of the famous Rear-Admirai John Ancrum WinSlow, who command ed the old Kearsarge in that great na- val duel off Cherbourg thirty-four years ago, which resulted in the sink ing of the Alabama.

NEW YORK, March 24.-A Washing ton special to the Herald says: To pre- pare plans to be followed jointly by the naval and military forces in defense Of the Atlantic, Gulf and Pacific coasts an Army and Navy Coast Defense Board was created to-day, consisting of Captain A. s. Barker, formerly in command of the battle-ship Oregon, to represent the navy, and Captain J. H. Dorst, Fourth Cavalry on the part of the army. Captain Dorst may not be able to continue to serve on the new board and another officer of the army may be detailed in his place. This mat ter is in the hands of Secretary Alger tonight, and the permanent army member will be decided upon to-mor- row.
 Assistant Secretary Roosevelt urged upon the officials of the Navy and War departments the necessity for a con certed plan of action by both depart ments. The wisdom of such course appealed strongly to Secretaries Long and Alger, and a conference of these officials resulted in the detail of the officers named. Subject to the approval of the Secretaries of War and the Navy, the recommendation of these officers will direct the disposition of the entire war strength of the United States. They will suggest not only the masSing or distribution of troops and the stations of naval vessels for the purpose of coast defense, but will also arrange plans for active offensive cam paigns. All information in possession of both the War and Navy departments will be at their service. Their head quarters will be in Washington. Their

ed in smaller Independent turrets about the ship. It occurred to the American designers that if they could dispense with the weighty and space consuming machinery attached to these turrets, such as the turning en- zines and machinery. independent arl- munition, hoist shields and the like, much more engine power could be placed in the hull of the ship and much more arrnor could be carried. They solved the problem by rieidly attach ing the smaller turrets, each contain ing two eight-inch rifles, to the top of the big thirteen-inch turrets- The plan had another advantage than weight saving. Theoretically. it tended to terrible concentration of the fire of the ship. Probably the craft does not float that could survive the awful impact from the four guns of one of these combined turrets upon one small sec tion of it's hull. and because they are trained in unison their projectiles must strike close together.
 The Kearsarge and the Kentucky are 368 feet in length. 72 feet inches beam and 23 feet 6-inches draft. They carry normally, 40 tons of coal. but may take aboard 1910 tons, and 511 officers, sailors and marines are required to navigate each of them.

sers Powerful and Terrible, yet it is doubtful whether any prudent naval commander, even leaving out of his calculations that great factor repre- sented by the superb fighting qualities of the American sailor, would care to venture hostile meeting with one of these steel "bulldogs of the seas," for the new American battle-ships embody in their design and construction the highest development up to this date in offensive and defensive warfare as the great game of naval strife would be played on the coast line of the United States Into their broad hulls are packed all of the engine power, the armor and the ordnance that the high est scientific ability is able to concen- trate in a floating structure that is able to seek a base of operations, a sup ply of fuel and ammunition and an op- portunity to heal wounds received in battle. Larger ships, those of deeper draft necessarily, may not enter or at tack our ports at fighting range, and this consideration was always kept in mind by Chief Constructor Hichborn when the kearSarge and the Kentucky were planned. That is the explanation of the fact-a new one in naval design that these ships with a displacement of 11,525 tons, draw only 2S feet inches of water--less than the armored crui- sers New York and Brooklyn-which would not, combined be equal in com bat to one Of the battle-ships.
 Light draft on heavy displacement is only one of the many valuable quail ties of the battle-ships, though by no means the least. Save the Indiana class, they carry the heaviest batteries in accord with modern naval practice and with primary batteries fully equal to that class, they mount secondary guns In such fashion as to make the combination almost unequaled in naval architecture The big rifles, four in number, are mounted in two turrets one sweeping the entire sea from di- rectly ahead to fully half way astern, the other with equal range, placed so as to command the sea from either inch caliber, yet the British navy now confines its guns to twelve inch. In inches the difference seems small, yet the American gun has about 25 per cent more power.
 At this point in the armament of the ships the American designers have em- parked in a bold and enterprising ex- pertinent, the result of which will be awaited with interest by the whole maritime world. Instead of descending at one move from the heavy primary battery to the small-caliber rapid-fire guns, as is done in the case of cruisers, 1t has become the custom of naval architects to interpose a battery of medium caliber guns, six or eight inch guns, for instance. and these are plac-

 Mrs. Mark says: Commander Marix put the Maine in commission two years ago and was executive officer un- der Captain Crowninshield, and later with Captain Sigsbee. who is one of the most brilliant officers in the navy. Commander Mark left the Maine, be- Ing detailed to the Vermont, six weeks before the explosion. I knew the off, cers of the Maine very well, of course, and met Lieutenant Jenkins and En- sign Merritt at a luncheon when we were playing at Norfolk last November.
 We inspected the vessel, and I re- member having been shown the maga- zines and inquiring as to the possibility of an explosion. Commander Marix re- piled that if such a thing were pos sible there would be nothing left to tell the tale This is brought to my mind through the public prints, which told that the ~Maine's magazines were in- tact. 1 am deeply interested in the out come of this complication, as hundreds of thousands of others are. War is a terrible thing, and of course in the event of a conflict the contest would be a naval one. That is where 1t is brought home to me-

Steps Taken to Arrange for the Active Cooperation of the
 Army and Navy

first and most important duty will be to make a careful study of the re- sources of the navy and army, both actual and potential, for the purpose of putting the entire coast line of the country in as thorough condition of de- fense as possible. Conferences will be held with the chiefs of bureaus of the army, that the possibilities of extend ing the effective strength of artillery at coast defense ports may be ascer- tained; that the condition and possibili- ties of rapid progress in the work of fortificatiOn may be determined and the resources of the Ordnance, Quarter master, Commissary and other depart ments may be put to efficient use
 The most effective stations for active service and for the rendezvous of in- fantry and cavalry of the regular army and organized militia of the States, as well as for the Bodies of volunteer troops that may be called into service will also be decided upon
 The same general plan will be pur- sued with regard to naval strength. Stations will be assigned to ships where they can do the best service individu- ally and in fleets, and every detail with regard to supplies, rendezvous and re- enforcement in respect to coast defense will be carefully looked after.
 The board will make a thorough study of conditions looking to offensive operations against the fleets and armies of Spain. This will include arrange ments for the concentration of the troops best fitted for the invasion of Cuba, if such plan should be decided to be advisable. The points of embarka- ton and the ships that will carry troops will be definitely decided upon, together with the ships that shall con st1tute the squadron or suuadrons to which will be given the work of attack ing spanish fleets both in the neighbor- hood of Cuba and upon the high seas.

 ''The Government of Spain will not appropriate one dollar to save these people" said Thurston. Think of the spectacle We are feeding these cit izens of Spain, we are nursing thelr sick, we are saving such as can be saved, and yet there are those who still say it is right for us to send food, put we must keep our hands oH say that the time has come when muSkets ought to go with the food.
 T shall refer to these horrible things no further. They are there. God pity me. I have seen them. They will re- main in my mind forever. This is almost the twentieth century Christ died 1900 years ago and Spain IS Christian nation. She has set up more crosses in more lands, beneath more skies, and under them has butchered more people than all the other nations of the earth combined.
 Europe may tolerate her existence as long as the people of the Old World wish, but God grant that before an other Christmas morning the last yes tige of Spanish tyranny and oppression will have vanished from the Western Hemisphere"
 Discussing the remedy which should be applied Thurston said:
 q counseled silence and moderation from this floor when the passion Of the nation seemed at white heat over the destruction of the Maine. but it seems to me the time for action has now come. Not action in the Maine case. hope and trust that this Government will take action on the Cuban situation entirely outside of the Maine case. When the Maine report is received. if it be found that our ship and sailors were blown up by some outside explo- sive, we will have ample reparation without quibble or delay, and if the explosion can be traced to Spanish official sources there will be such swift and terrible punishment adjudged as will remain warning to the world for
