THE ILLINOIS.

set for the launching many people had
assembled in the yard Of the Newport
News Shipbuilding and Drydock COM
pany. AS many more swarmed the
decks of steamers, tugs, yachts and 9TH
err craft. which had taken up positions
Of vantage in the river opposite the i'm
mense shipbuilding plant.
A hush fell over the crowd as sharp
saw cut it's way through the timber
holding the warship. When the SUI
preme moment came, Miss Letter poised
the gayly decorated bottle of cham
payne in her right hand and as the big
battleship moved slowly toward the rv-
err cast it against the receding bow. AS
the great vessel moved down the ways
cheer after cheer went up from the
multitude of spect ators, whose enthusi-
astic shouts almost drowned the noisy
welcome to the newcomer sounded by
the whistles in The harbor. The Illinois
struck the water with resounding
splash and f1oated majestically out into
the stream.
Description of the Ship.
The first class battleship Illinois is
the fourth to be launched of the five
1885 ton battleships now in process of
construction. She is a sister ship only,
however, of the Alabama and the Wis
consin for the Kentucky and Kear-
sarge, which are also building at New
port News, are vastly different from
the other three in armor and armament
and alone have the unique feature Of
the superin,p, SD tulrets.
While the contract speed of the ILL
nois is less than that of the latest class,
the Ma ne, Missouri and Ohio. the W
giant warship is expected to develop a
speed of JIG or 1872 knots, and she may
prove faster than the Iowa and the
Oregon. The dimensions of the Illinois
are as follows: Load water line lorg h,
36S feet length over all, 373 feet Q
inches; extreme breadth. ~ feet 2h
inches; indicated horsepower. 10000;
mean draft, with all stores, ammuni-
ton and LEO tons of coal on board, 81
feet inches; freehoard forward. 20
feet; fire. ehoard amidships, 10 feet 10
inches f.eeboard aft, 10 feet inches;
normal coal supply, 500 tons, and full
bunker capacity, 1,4OO to 1900 tons.
A com par.son with the great Majes ic
of the British navy shows that the H.
nois will far exceed the British battle
ship in battery power and armor.
though she will be a knot and half
slower The draft of the Illinois is five
feet less than that of the Majestic, ard
the Majestic's displacement Is $500 tona
greater than the Illinois.

ship was at anchor in the harbor of
Manila on the morning of May /, when
Dewey sunk the Spanish fleet. I'VE
had no intimation of war;" said the
captain, but we were awakened early
in the morning by the boom of a gun.
Rushing on deck, we saw the American
fleet steaming toward the Spanish men,
of-war. 1t was grand sight to see
the Yankees polish them off. Why,
they hammered away and then went
to breakfast, after which they went at
them again, hammer and tongs, and
soon finished them. heard afterward
that-only one Spanish shell struck. That
hit the Boston's funnel, but failed to
