Torpedo Boats Trial.

Washington, D. c.. Aug. II The
trial of the torpedo boat destroyer
Chauucey, which was built by Neafie
& Levy, of Philadelphia, takes place
off the capes today and considerable
interest is manifested at the navy de
partment in the result of the test.
The building of these tiny warships is
now regarded as something OF specu-
lation, inasmuch as several of those
turned out during the last year or two
have proved dismal failures while
others, constructed after the same de-
sign and apparently alike in every
particular, have been fully up to ex.
pectations. Naval constructors who
have followed the construction of the
Chauncey express the opinion that>~it
will come up TO all requirements.
The vessel is of l20 tons displacement
aud is designed to have n speed of 20
knots.
