THE NEW BATTLESHIP MAINE.

Successor to Havana's Inflated
Wreck TO Be One of the Most Pow
erful Warships AHoat-WnI Have
Builders Trial Irip To-day.
Philadelphia, Pa, July about 10
o'clock tomorrow morning the Maine,
one of the most powerful battleships
ever built for the United States navy,
will leave her dock in Cramps ship
yard for her builders trial trip. she
will be under the general supervision
of Edwin S. Cramp. with James A.
Clampitt as pilot. The trial spin Will
be over the builders course which ex-
tends p miles from the Delaware Capes
to the Southwest lightshlp, ia miles
from the southwest lightshp to the
northeast lightship: liz miles from the
northeast lightship TO the southwest
lightship, and n miles from the south
west lightship back to the Capes.
Her trial will be made 10 determine
how well she steams. whether her ma
chinery works smoothly and approx
mately what her speed is. That she will
meet and exceed the requirements of
the contract is regarded as certainty
by naval experts who have closely
watched her progress from the day her
keel was laid. During the trip she will
be manned by crew of $50 picked men
from Cramps yards. The conditions
under which this trial will be made
will differ to some extent from her
government trial this fall, inasmuch as
she is not now in a finished condition
She is designed to have 4 speed OF is
knots an hour, which is a considerably
in excess of the speed of the Alabama
and other crack battleshlps of the
navy. That she will do even better
than her contract speed there is no
doubt In fact, it is expected that she
will have plenty to spare along this
line.
Much sentiment is attached to this
huge fighting machine, named after the
original Maine, which was destroyed in
Havana harbor more than four years
ago. The keel was laid Feb. Is. 1899,
one year after the destruction of her
new vessel is vastly superior to the old.
The old Maine was a second-class bat
tleship, built at the New York navy
yard. The new one is first-class bat
tleship of 1880 tons displacement. Her
main battery will consist of four -
inch guns, and her secondary battery
will be ~ 6-inch guns. The new ship
is 80 feet longer than the old Maine,
her engines will have an indicated
horse power of 10000 as against 1928
of. the old ship. Her armor is 12-inch
"Kruppized' as against the 12-inch
Harveyized steel used on the old ship,
