FOREIGN NAVAL NOTES

The British admiralty has under consideration an
improved arrangement for coaling vessels
The construction of large going collier that
shall be capable of earryng about fifteen thousand
tons of coal is under way and will be completed
in a few months. A vessel OF this capacity could
provide for the needs OF large squadron OF battle
ships and cruisers. and, with a speed Of fifteen
sixteen knots, she could accompany a fleet either
in peace time.
The Muriel moderate size collier has been de-
tailed 10 join the Mediterranean feet for the pur
pose of making some important experiments of
coaling warships while steaming at sea.
News comes from Spain that a naval commission
has been appointed to investigate and make a
port upon plan for the resuscitaton of the Span
ish navy. 1t has already been suggested to build
feet of twelve battleships. four cruisers, twenty
gunboats, sixteen torpedo boat destroyers and
couple of transports and training vessels It is
ognized by the Spanish Government that the pres
ent facilities for building large number OF war r
desirable many of those proposed must be built
by foreign constructors.
