THE NEW BATLESHIPS
Retain Their Strength but Have More
Speed

NEW YORK, June 16.-The construction
of three large battleships under provisions
of the last appropriation bill, says the
Washington correspondent of the Tribune,
is to be undertaken without further delay
by the Navy Department, in accordance
with plans drawn and agreed upon by a
special board having the subject under ad-
visement. These additions to the navy are
TO be similar in many respects to the
Alabama type of battleship, of which three
are now building; but departures have
Leen made in some respects from these YES
sells that are expected to develop still more
perfect types of war vessels. In one partic-
ular the vessels have been subject to some
justitiable criticism, but so far as their
armament and ordnance go they will prob
ably be without a peer for their displace-
ment afloat.
The intention Of the naval authorities has
been practically to duplicate a type Of bat
tleship that Is believed to be without su-
peror except in speed qualities, which are
recognized weak features in the plans of
the proposed vessels. Ships of their dimen-
sions now building abroad will be required
to maintain rate of at least IS knots an
hour under normal load conditions, where
as the requirements of the navy for the
ships about to be contracted for call for
vessels Of but 16 knots. Failure to provide
an increased speed has been due to a de-
sire on the part of the Secretary to facili-
tate their construction and not undertake
entirely original designs which would make
necessary a postponement Of their COM
pletion perhaps six months. The usual
controversy that follows whenever any ma
val program of an increase is begun en-
sued in the Construction Board on the
question of speed, the Engineer-in-chief ar
guing for a decided increase, while other
members were not willing to sacrifice the
important features in order to secure It,
Commander Melville presented an argu-
ment showing that by the introduction OF
he quadruple expansion system and the
tubular boilers the new battleships will
have speed of IS knots. but he was oppos-
ed in the board on account of additional
machinery space required
AS the subject now stands the battleships
will have practically the same dimensions
as those of the Alabama, speed Of Il
knots and battery comprising four u.
inch guns In turrets. ten 6-inch rapid-flre
guns in the broadside on the main decl
and four on the upper deck and second
airy battery of twenty-four rapid-f1re ma
chine guns. They will be protected around
their sides by belt of 1914 inches of ar
NOR, having a mean depth of seven feet
six inches and TO extend from the stem tc
the after barbette. All the turret armor
will be fourteen inches throughout A pro-
tective deck will extend the length of the
vessels, varying in thickness from three
to five inches, and the usual cellulose belt
is also to be fitted along the entire length
of the ships. The department requires that
each ship shall be completed within at least
thirty-three months.

AT SAN DIEGO
LITTLE PROSPECT FOR A FUSION
AT PRESENT
Judge ]. N. Hughes a Candidate for
the Supreme Bench-Capt. Dodge
Receives an Ovation

SAN DIEGO, June 16.-The past few days
have seen some active movements on the
political che board. The Populists de-
cided to hold their convention for the nom
nation of a county board about the end of
June, and it was further decided to leave
only three vacancies on the ticket for the
Democrats and Silver Republicans to fill
if they wished to have fusion. This allot-
ment was not satisfactory, and the latter
have decided to anticipate the Populists,
and will hold their convention on the 29d.
Unless the Democracy receives more tan
gible recognition they will nominate full
county ticket. From present indications
San Diego will hav. a candidate for nomi-
nation on the Democratic state ticket in
the person of Judge Hughes, for the su-
preme bench. At present Judge Hughes
occupies a position on the superior bench
Of this county.

NEW YORK, June ia dispatch to the

Local Football Game.

The Industrial Training School football
team played a game yesterday on the
ground of the Business Mems Driving Club
track with the team of the Muncie High
School and defeated it by a score of A to O.
The Muncie men were much heavier than
the ]. T.. S. team, but they seemed to be
ratified. Dugan and White, of the Muncie
team, did some good tackling, however
Dugan was hurt during the last part of the
first half and had to retire. Jackson was
put in Dugan's position. For the /. T. S.
team Cline, Rhinehart, Coval and Shideler
made sensational runs, the last two running
to goal. Cline, Pickett ana Hotz dis
tinguished themselves by their vigorous
tackling, and Hotz worked with such force
that he threw one Muncie man back ten
yards.
The spectators were well satisfied with the
playing of the home team. Its interference
was excellent Cline retired in the latter
part of the game and Buscher took his
place. Sprickerman, of the Muncie team, is
professor Of physics at the high school He
is heavy man and his whiskers made a
fierce appearance, but his face was
scratched before the game was finished.
