Beyond casual conversation Mr. Che

East until he received Secretary H

cred the British premier's views were

dispatches. He maintained the belief g
the diplomats at Pekin had not /
massacred, and did not believe they
likely 10 be. He Is emlnently satis
with the action already taken by
United States. and expressed the O.
views as the cable dispatches attri'
to Secretary Hay.
In short the conference may be said
to have elected single point on wi

the situation was tinged with a spiri

WILL HAVE DOUBLE TURRETS.
THREE OF THE NEW BATTLEsHIPs
TO BE so C0NsTRUCTED.

Two Others VIII Have Quadrilnter-
ally Arranged Eight-inch Tur-
rets-SuperimpOsed Turret Ques-
ton Has Produced n Lively Com
troversy in Naval CircIes-Con-
structor Taylor Submitted a Dis
senting Report.
Washington, June 25.-Secretary Long
to-day approved the findings of the Ma
val Board recommending that three Of the
five new batleships shall be built with
superimposed and waist eight-inch turrets
and that the remaining two of the new
battleships shall have alphabetically ar
ranged eight-inch turrets.
This turret question has been a source
of lively controversy in naval circles and
after the regular naval board of construc-
ton, consisting of the bureau chiefs, had
passed upon the question a special board
was created, made up of line and staff
officers of recognized ability on questions
of naval construction, 10 consider it.
The chief division was as to retaining
the superimposed turrets as on the Ken
the system of placing turrets quadrilat-
orally so as to fire in broadsides On this
the board was divided, seven favoring the
superimposed turrets, while five were for
quadrilateral turrets. and Capt Barker
favored a compromise, building part of
each type.
Report of the Board.
The report of the board says:
'In view of the strong minority of FIVE
members, Capt. Barker dissenting from
either proposition, it was finally decided
to recommend three battlesh:ps with SUI
perimposed eight-inch turrets and two
with four Independent eight-inch turrets
arranged quadrilaterally. This was agreed
to by twelve of the thirteen members cen
shutting the board, Naval Constructor
Taylor only voting against it,
Constructor Taylor in his dissenting re-
port says;
ITO divide these vessels between two
types is TO definitely advertise to the
world that although we have completed
two superimposed turret vessels we do not
know whether or not they are better than
if they had been built with separate tur-
rets.
LAS a further reason for my dissent,
beg TO say that if II is admitted or deter
mined that the advantage of being able to
concentrate six guns on either broad
side. instead of four, is sufficiently great
TO warrant some sacrifices in other direc-
tons, 1 believe that this result can readily
be obtained by an arrangement involving
disadvantages less grave than those fol-
lowing from the supposed principle"
