Plates for the Kentucky and
Kearsarge Accepted.
CONSTRUCTION OF @Siress IS!
II Is Claimed BY Naval OAciais That
the Apr opriation Ia Not Large
Enough to Bald Monitors of the
Most Approved and Effective Dou-
kle-Tasret Type.

| Capt. Charles O'NeiI. chief Of the Bu-
reau Of Ordnance. has informed the Beth
| lehem Company of the acceptance OF the
last group OF armor for the battleships
Kearsage and Kentucky and has directed
its shipment to Newport News.
This action has been taken as result
Of the trial on Saturday of an 1S-inch
plate. representing the group. The group
was designed FOR the 13-inch turrets of
the Kentucky. and. In view Of the desire
of the Government that these vessels
shall be made ready for service as soon
as possible. it was important that its test
plate should come up to. the naval re-
| Quirements.
| This plate was backed BY thirty-six
| inches of oak and received two projec-
| tiles. the first Hotter and the second
a Carpenter. each of 10-inch caliber. The
Hotter shell was fired at the target
with a velocity of ]. .5SS feet per second and
| the Carpenter shell was given a velocity
| of 1,si5 feet per second.
Both projectiles struck the plate square,
| ly. but no crack or other injury to the
| plate was caused The first shell pene-
| trated ten inches and the second eleven
inches.
| The Naval Board of Construction was
| in session yesterday discussing the plans
| OF the battleships and monitors whose
| construction is authorized by the recent
| naval appropriation bill. The circular
| giving the general requirements Of the
battleships Is practically ready. and does
| not differ from the outline recently pub
lished by the Times.
| In accordance with the direction of the
| board. plans for the monitors are being
| prepared under the direction of Chief Ma
| val Constructor Hichborn. On account
| of the small appropriation made by Com
| gress for each of these vessels-S1 go 0O0-
II has been determined to limit their size
| to $500 tons displacement and to supply
| each ship with only one turret to be
| placed in the forward part of the vessel
1t has not yet been definitely decided
| whether to equip them with two 12-inch
| or two l0-inch breecif loading rifles.
The superstructure Of eale vessels will
be constructed so as 20 reach from the
| turret nearly to the stern of the ship,
| and rapid fire guns will be placed on this
| to be directed against any torpedo boats
1 that may attempt to attack the ships. The
| turret will be so arranged that the guns
| can be trained over an arc of at least
| 800 degrees. so that they can be fired in
| almost any direction except dead astern.
These vessels will not be as efficient as
| the double turreted monitors. but they
| will be very effective harbor defense ships.
and the department proposes TO make
| them as good as possible with the money
| given by Congress. They will probably
require two years TO build.
