The Transformation to Begin at
Newport News at Once.
New York. May PA dispatch to the
Tribune from Newport News, Va, says:
"rhe auxiliary cruiser Buffalo, formerly
the Ell Cid of the Morgan Line, and later
the Nictheroy of the Brazilian navy, viii
arrive at the ship yard either Wednesday
night or Thursday morning. The officills
of the Newport News Shlpbuilding and
Dry Dock Company have just received
notice to that effect. 1t is possible that
her arrival may be delayed IN case she
experiences rough weather.
when the Buffalo arrives she Will be
stripped and converted from a dynamite
cruiser into an auxiliary cruiser.
The navy department has finally decided
that the Vesuvius can do all of the dyna-
mite work necessary, and that the Buffalo
can render better service with battery
of twelve 5-inch guns. In addition 70 this
main battery, the Buffalo VIII carry q
secondary battery of ten 6-pounders, two
2-tnch rapid-fire rifles and several Gattlng
guns.
..The armament of the Buffalo will be
much more powerful than that OF her sis
ter ships, the Dixie the Yosemite. the
yankee and the Prince, as she is already
armored and her decks are protected with
greater strength than the decks of these
ships.
