PLANS FOR NEW CRUISERS.
Speed Will be One Accomplishment
They Will Possess.

Washington. d. e. July 1S.-The
plans now under consideration for
the two new armored cruisers author
lied by congress contemplate such
new departure in steaming capacity
that these ships will be able to make
voyages far exceeding any by the
ships now in commission and equal
ing, if not exceeding, the long dis
tance trips OF any naval war vessel
atloat.
Although the plans are not finally
passed upon. the main features OF the
ships are pretty well worked out.
They pnovide for a combination of
three screws, so separated that any
one OF them can work Independently
BY using all three screws the ship
could develop great speed, from -
to 23 knots. so that she would
be listed a. a 23 knot ship.
But all three screws will be used only
in case OF emergency. For the pur-
pose OF making long voyages only
one screw will be used at time 1t
is estimated that this would give a
speed of ten knots an hour. BY al
ternating the screws the big craft
could make al least 10000 miles
without a stop to recoal and at the
same time she would always have her
a ID to % knot speed in case of ne
cpSSity

Day Devoted to Argument In Admiral
Schley's Behalf.
WASHINGTON, Nov.6. The entire time
of the Schley court of iAcpsizy today .wass
devoted to argument in Admiral
Schley's behalf Immediately after the
court convened at ii o'clock this morn
ing Captain Parker proceeded with his
address and he was followed without
loss of time by Hon. Isldore Raynor,
Admiral Schley's chief counsel
Captain Parker took up the discussion
of the subject where he had left of yes
terday considering in turn the reconnois-
sance of May 81, the coaling question
and the battle of July 3, including the
loop of the Brooklyn. His address of
this morning was comparatively brief.
Mr.. Raynor began his speech with dis-
cussion of the second specification of
the precept relating TO the circumstances
attending the movements OF the flying
squadron off Cienfuegos, and then pro.
ceeded TO consider very briefly the cruise
from Cienfuegos to Santiago, which is
covered by the third specification.
He passed from these specifications TO
the sixth and went from that to the end
of the list before he returned to specia-
cation one, reserving that and the
fourth and fifth specifications to close
his arguments
These latter specifications related to
the Santiago campaign and to the
charge of disobedlence of orders and
were reserved for the latter paH of the
speech because of their importa9rCu.
The audience today was larger than on
yesterday. There were 1900 applica-
tions for reserved seats received.
