Must Pay a Forfeit.
Despite the disappointment, 1t was
expected that the official allowances
which are made for the effect Of tide
would allow the final official figures to
make her record little more than
eighteen knots.
Commander Walter c. Cowles, U. s.
NJ, who acted as recorder for the
board, has estimated the tidal inHu..
ences and still the Maine is found
wanting. The exact figures will not be
available until the report of the trial

was the head. is submitted to the
Navy Department next week. The rec.
ord Of the Maine will stand between
1885 and Is knots.
The terms of the contract provide
that unless the speed is eighteen knots
the builders shall pay forfeit at the
rate Of s25,OO0 per quarter knot be.
tween eighteen and seventeen and a
half knots. There is no provision for
a premium of excess speed. As the
forfeit is paid proportionately to the
degree OF failure, the Cramps will not

Washington, August 30. - For the
first time in the history Of the United
States Navy a modern battleship has
failed to attain the speed qualifications
Of her contract. The Maine, in her
trial over the Cape Ann course last
Saturday, failed to make eighteen
knots per hour, as specified In the con.
tract between the Government and
william Cramp q Sons of Philadel.
phia. The Maine, the keel OF which
was laid February Is, 1899. the ami.
versary of the destruction Of the old
Maine in Havana harbor, was the first
Of several 1s-knot ships authorized by
Congress. In her trial she went over
the course-two hours outward and
two back-at an average speed OF H.
965 knots per hour, according to the
official figures.
Although these figures surpass any
ever made by any battleship Of the
Navy. they were disappointing, for
the Maine had made an excellent
showing on her builders trial, and pre-
dictions were made that she would run
far ahead of eighteen knots at the oHi-
cial test. Heretofore nearly every bat
tleship built has easily surpassed her
contract speed, and the expense to the
Government was so great when bonus.
es were offered for extra speed that
the experiment was discontinued.

than would be the expense Of a new

.overeonfdence the Cause.
The stigma Of placing a ship which
failed to make It's contract speed is
sufficient perhaps to induce the appli.
cation for a new trial, especially In
view OF the fact that many naval OIL
GERS hold the opinion that the Maine
would exceed eighteen knots on a new
trial. Unable to secure a good quality
Of steaming coal before the vessel left
Philadelphia for the trial course, poor
fuel was taken aboard, the builders
feeling confident that the ship would
exceed eighteen knots In any event.
Overconfidence appears to have been
the cause OF the Names failure. On the
builders trial the Maine had steamed
one 3O.minute stretch at the rate Of
1875 knots, and II was thought she
might even reach nineteen.
The Maine was built more rapidly
than any other battleship in the Navy.
Her cost when completed was close to
$5.770,000. She is sister ship OF the
Missouri and the Ohio. now building,
and also the first ship to be fitted with
the Niclause water tube boiler, at the
suggestion of the Cramps. Her indi'
, Gated horsepower is 1o,00p. This is
1000 greater than that of any other
battleship In the Navy.
