HARLAN'S
WERE THIRD
On Six Cruisers to be Built
for the Government.

The Harlan and Holl!ngsworth Com
pany are preparing to bid on the six new
cruisers for tho. United States Government
proposals of which will bo asked for on
| November 1. The law limits tho cost o
each ship to 81, 100000. but Of this the Gov.
ern,nent requires about 100000 to equip
each ship after delivered to the navy De-
partment.
In order that the builders may be able
to undertake the vessels within the limit,
1t Is undersi ood naval officials will waive
the amount that should be cot aside for
their use, and ask for special appropria-
ton TO cover the deficit; otherwise, it Is
conceded, it would be impracticabe to
build all tho ses for the sums allowed
with the prevailing high price of steel.
These vessels nre part Of the programme
Of increase Of the navy authorized az the
last session: This programme also In
cludes three large batteships and three
armored cruisers, equal in steaining and
fighting effectiveness to the most formid-
able as their type in the British service.
st, el market, aud the failure Of Congress
and the armor firms to come to terms, no
PROCESS has been made toward thesprepar-
alton .of the designs OF any OF these vessels
and no steps In that direction can bs tax.
en- until the Navy department Is author
lied to purchase arlnor at higher rates
those now allowed by law.
So deterlIind are the armour manufact-
urers to force the Government to acoede to
their demands that it is realized by ord
nance officers that the Government must
make its own armor or pay the price do
m lndei by the firm which have furnish.
ed all the armor heretofore supplied, II
the work of increasing thelnavy Is to con-
tinue.
The firms arc in position to concede
little, owing to the abundance OF other
work, which they declare is moro profit
able than contracts with Navy Depart
ment The six new cruisers, however, re-
ouire no armor and can therefore be built
regardless OF its cost. Should they have
had thin protection on their water lines
1t Is doubtful If the vessels could possibly
be built under the present conditions. In
any event. they will be more costly for
their displacement than many of the re-
cent ships Of equal class that hav5 been
built .,
In type these cruisers will be not unlike
the Raleigh and Cincinnati sbut with less
horse power and reduced speed. The for
mer vo,sels have frequently been said to
havo engines powerful enough for bnttle-
ships, and as coal burners are the most ex-
pensiye in tho service. The new ships will
have displacement of 800 IONS speed
of II knots and a large coal capacity and
steaming radius Of action.
With sheathed bottom that will prevent |
fouling in tropical waters. fin kerls and
powerful battery Of rapid-tlro guns, tn o
new cruisers are expected to be equal to
thpse of their class In any service, and su-
peror to the Raleigh and Cincinnati in
all important points.
