Part of the Crews of the Topeku
and sOmers Refuse to Sail in

PORTLAND, England. April 1O.-Tbe
United States cruiser Topeka formerly Do
genesl In command OF Lieut.. John j. Knapp,
and the torpedo boat Somers. Ensign C. w.
for the United States put in here today.
After clearing Portland Bill, such heavy
sea was encountered that the Somers was
q. buried. and Lieut.. Knapp deemed
1t safest to return. About thirty of the To-
peka's crew refused to sail in her, neces-
stating the shipping Of others to fill their
places.
The Somers, it is found, sprang a leak,
but her officers do not regard the injury as
serious. Her crew, however, became fright
ened and struck. Being merely hired hands,
not enlisted men, they are not amenable to
naval discipline. and Lieut. Knapp is en-
deavoring to secure a fresh crew.

The Topeka's Powers.

The Topeka, which has been called
a cruiser, but is really little more
than heavily armed gunboat, comes.
in point of size, into a class between
the American vessels Montgomery
and Yorktown, with the speed of the
latter. Her displacement is 1900
tons, she is $50 feet long, has 35 feet
beam, iraws ID feet 6 in ch es, load I'd.
and has 16 knots speed. There have
been various stories regarding her
construction, and transactions in
which she has figured are a ,parantly
somewhat mixed. She was built as
the Diogenes by Howaldt Bros, at
Kiel, Germany, for Portugal, but was
purchased by the United States from
the Thames Iron Works Company,
into whose possession she had come
some time before the deal was made.
Originally intended. like the small
er American gunboats, for work in
rivers where the vessels of deep
drau ght could not go, she was fitted
to carry heavy guns for vessel of
her displacement, and her main bat
terry consists of SIX guns, two Of which
are of the six inch class, the others
being smaller. while her secondary
battery contains ten guns, Including
eight rapid-firmg and two machines.
This armament, with her good speed,
should make her an extremely valu-
able vessel, not only for commerce
destroying, but where ability to give
hard blows is needed. She is full
brig rugged, but as the use of sails is
practically thing Of the past on
American warships, her masts will
probably be stripped Of their yards
and converted into pole masts, with
small fighting tops for machine guns.
