NEW BRITISH CRUISERS.
Some Criticism of the Plans of the
Government.

Daniel T. Phillips, United States consul
at Cardiff. Wales. recently wrote as fol-
lows TO the State Department a description
Of visit to the dock yards at Pembroke
Dock. He says:
Il recently paid a visit TO her majesty
dock yards at Pembroke Dock. and by the
courtesy Of the chief construction engineer
was conducted through all the machine
shops; saw the near completion Of the royal
yacht. soon TO be launched, and the ar
mored cruiser in process OF building Two
thousand four hundred men are engaged
in these dock yards. Everything proceeds
with the regularity of clockwork
THE royal yacht has been so frequently
discussed that l shall confine my observs-
tons to the new cruiser in course OF cree
ton at Pembroke Dock which is to have "A
displacement Of $500 tons. A mimilar yes-
sci Is also TO be built at Portsmouth, and
two other armored cruisers OF the same
displacement are to be erected by contract.
These four vessels are officially represented
as cruisers Nos. !, 2, 8 and l. Their main
features Will be Identical The dimensions
OF the new Pembroke cruiser, l understand.
are to be as follows: Length 40 feet
breadth. extreme, 66 feet; displacement
S,SOO tons; speed, with natural draft %
knots; Indicated horsepower, 22UOO; arma-
ment, fourteen 6-inch quick-firing guns, f.
inch turrets and l0-inch easements ten L.
FOUNDER quick -firing guns. three 3-pounder
quick-fring guns and two torpedo tubes.
The 6-inch guns VIII be OF the latest type
and will be protected by armor inches
thick. Vertical side armOr of the same
thickness will be carried over a consider
able portion of the length, with thinner
armor on her bows. Strong protective ks
will be associated with the side armor.
The steel huQS will be unsheathed. A
speed Of % knots is to be maintained for
eight hours cousecutively, on contractors
trials. In smooth water, about p knots
should be maintained for continuous steam
ing at sea. The coal-bunker capacity will
be $500 tons, and go tons are to be car
f23,0eo and f63, 4J0 Sill $50 and sos 779)
respectively, are provided, to be expended
for labor at Pembroke Dock on these two
new vessels.
'Sir E J. Reed, formerly member of par
lament for Cardiff. undertakes to criticise
the plan of the government for the building
of these new cruisers He IS a distinguish
ed authority on such matters, being one
of the foremost civil and nautical engineers
in Great Britain. His attitude in this con-
nection is regarded by many competent au-
thoritfes as hypercritical The difficulty
to Mr.. Reeds mind is that the cruisers are
to be so small. A fast vessel with next
to no protection and two or three light
guns is all that is necessary for preying
out for the protection of that commerce
and the pursuit and destruction of the
enemy should be at least equal in speed and
possess sufficient offensive and defensive
power to overcome these small commerce
destroyers. His object, therefore Is to urge
the admiralty not to cut down these YES
sells the designs of which are not definitely
mage as to make them too feeble for their

Once more the Senators lose.
With Doheny out of the way, the Sena-
tors have a chance today.
Gettman Is apparently regaining his bat
ting eye. Four hits in the last two games
Is pretty good for the Nebraska boy.
Padden being put out Of the game prob
ably lost the game yesterday much as
Weyhtngs pitching, as the second base
mans fielding and batting were missed in
the final innings
George Davis was back in the game for
New York yesterday at short and Jack
Doyle took another rest, Wilson going to
first base.
1t was rumored about town yesterday
that the new man signed by Arthur Irwin
to strengthen his pitching corps Is Twirler
White of the Georgetown University team
White has certainly been a good pitcher in
college circles.
The New York papers are unit in the
opinion that Umpire Andrews decision at
first, which resulted in sending Padden to
the bench for protesting, won the game for
the Giants. Van Haltren should have been
the tnird man out, but the rank decision
allowed Foster to score.
A report comes from New York that
Tommy " Br1en has been farmed out to the
Providence team by Manager Irwin. The
washington manager is sailing pretty close
to the wind in the matter of players. and
should another man be hurt it will throw
a catcher or pitcher into the game.
JACK Doyle, George Davis and Hugh Jen-
nlhgs are ABOUT a stando6 for players who
have had more iil-luck than any others in
the league. " o

Abuse of the Piano.

From the Philadelphia Medical journal.
DR.. Waelzhold, according TO a cablegrarn,
has started on a crusade against the piano.
He seeks to prove that excessive practice
on this instrument by girls leads to chlor-
osis and nervous disorders, He condemns
the deadly custom of compelling young
girls to hammer the keyboard before they
are fifteen years old, and claims that even
at that age the practice should be restrict
ed to those who have real talent and q 70
bust constitution. Waelzhold even cites
figures chow reliable, we can not say)
which tend to show that Of 1000 young
girls studying the piano before the age OF
twelve years, 900 were afflicted with ner-
vous disorders later In life; while OF @ sim
liar number who began TO learn the pisno
later In life only 200 suffered In like man
ner. OF those who never touched the plano
only 100 were afflicted in similar way.
The violin is accused OF being an even more
dangerous instrument than the piano.

Rice Exports to Cuba

Consul General Lincoln of Antwerp, on
April II. writes TO the State Department:
would invite the attention of our mer-
chants TO an item in the digest of the In
voice Book for the last quarter, submitted
in my report of like date. The item re-
ferred TO is that of rice, of which a GUAM
uty amounting in value to over $4,000 was
shipped from here during the last two
months to Cuban ports. This is rice i'm
ported from the east, cleaned. dressed and
prepared for the market here. and the
business with Cuban buyers has been done
principally by Hamburg houses. 1t would
seem, in case the southern states cannot
supply the existing want for this article
that at least our merchants should have
some hand In procuring the supply needed

! Suppose that you wished to go
