WASHINGTON, July lA.-The board OF
naval construction has begun preliminary
work on the three big protected cruisers,
the Charleston. St. Louis and Milwaukee,
which are to be completed with as little
delay as possible Congress. at its last
session. appropriated 81 10000 for hulls and
machinery alone. stipulating that they
should be OF about S,eDo tons displacement.
10 carry the most powerful ordnance for
vessels OF their class. and to have the
highest speed compatible with good cruis
ing qualities and great radius OF action.
In order that the bids might he obtained
early in the fall. the hun design Of some
existing American naval vessel should be
selected, and. with such notifications as
might be required. the same lines, at least
below the water line, should be strictly
followed. The choice was quickly narrowed
down to the New York. which is OF 500
tons, and the Brooklyn, which is OF 9lo1
tons. The latter ship was selected as the
type. with the exception of her tumble
home sides. which have been found OBJ
jectionable In practice. and the new ships
will therefore be improved Brooklyns.
1t is proposed TO speed them either at
twenty-five knots. which viii require 20
600 horse power, OF twcnty-three knots,
which would consume 3,00 horse power.
The speed will he dedniatey fixed as soon

her machinery weighing l,%ss,S tons. Not
less than 1000 tons OF coal should be car
ried by the new cruisers. but more horse
power can be obtained from a ton of ma
chinery today than when the Brooklyn
was designed seven years ago.
