THE NEW
To Hav Heavy Armor and Larger
BroadSide Guns

Washington. April 25.-The navy de-
partment has about concluded that the
new battleships of the Virginia class
shall have armor Of six inches thick
ness in casemate and from seven to
eleven inches side armor. This is
about the same as the armor on the
ships now building. Chief attention
is now being given to the batteries of
the new ships. Although no conclu-
sions have been reached, there is a
tendency toward substituting Z inch
guns in the broadside batteries in
place of 6 inch weapons. 1t is said that
this change would permit the broadside
guns to penetrate one inch more armor
than at present, at a range of 5000
yards and will materially increase tbs
effectiveness Of h guns in other re-
spectS.

Account Books Captured.

New York, April A.-Agents Of the
headed by Justice Jerome and Former
Police Commissioner Moss, descended on
Sank Barlow's alleged gambling club
at No. 50 Broad street this afternoon.
The raiding party made its a to the
second floor of the building and de-
manded admittance. BIZ. Moss carried
an axe. but as the door was opened to
the party after a slight delay, he was
not compelled to use it

was also arrested. The five prisoners
were taken to the court of special ses-
sions.
When the raiders got into the room
there were more than thirty men in it,
almost all of whom were playing rou-
1ette, faro and poker. They made
frantic efforts to escape, but were pre-
vented.
Besides the five prisoners, gambling
parphernalia worth upwards of $4,000,
several thousand chips. many packs OF
cards and about $50 in small change
were taken away by the raiders. as
we'll as the account books of the es-
tablishment. The latter were kept in
very crude form, but an unexplained
item of expense in the sum of $500 led
Mr.. Moss and Justice Jerome to say
that this item might prove an impor-
tant link in the chain of evidence
against the mysterious John Doe, who
is alleged to give protection from police
interferences to the gamblers of the
city.
The aid taking place. as it did, in
the heart of the financial district,
created a great deal of excitement.
Justice Jerome held the prisoners in
sums of 81, 900 ach for examination
next week and they were committed.
After spending a few hours in the
Tombs the prisoners furnished bonds
and were released.
