 within the next two months are 10S vessels of all classes, of which fourteen
 are battleships, eight first class cruis- CTS, nine second class cruisers, fifty two torpedo boat destroyers, and the remainder small cruisers and gnnboats. The three large battlesh1ps to be laid
 down this year vii be of the Majestic l type and will be built at government
 dockyards Their displacement will be the same as the Majestic's, but their
 mean draught will be less by nine inches. An additional ten feet in length will bring them up to 400 feet Ia and compensate for the decreased
 draught and also tend toward greater speed, for it is intended that the new vessels shall make IS knots under nat lural draught. The four armored cruis- CTS will be among the most powerful vessels of this type in the world, and
 all are to be built in private shipyards. They will have a length of 40 feet, and will be armed with two 9.2-inch guns, twelve 6-inch, fourteen 12-pound- CTS, and three 3-pounderA Their bot toms vii be shethed and coppered for cruising purposes. Not less than 21

France, like Russia, is looking to the future regarding her na-

 Germany's programme is also de-
 signed to expand her strength on the
 sea considerably. It provides for the
 building, exclusive of torpedo boats,
 gunboats and vessels for special pur-

 Russia has recently completed l3, ,00O-ton battleship, and has another sister ship building Besides she has a number of small cruisers, twelve tor

 The growth of Japan's naval strength is shown to be remarkable,
 both as to the number and the strength
 of vessels being added to her force. Iii 1896 she brought out a programme, to
