THE WORLD.
Washington, Aug. 26-The Connecticut and
Louisiana. the two new battleships authorized
by the last Naval Appropriation bill will carry
the most powerful guns, measured by Calibre,
In tho world. With the building of each new
set of battleships, Admiral O'NeiI Chief of the
Bureau of Ordnance, has tried to increase the
power of the main batteries. and for the Con-
HeCticut and Louisiana he intends to increase
the length of the big turret guns to As calibre.
Heretofore the longest naval guns built have
been only forty times their calibre in length.
Not only will this iengthening of the guns in
crease their efficiency to range and velocity
and therefore penetrating power. but II will
constitute distinct advantage to the ships
The muzzles of guns of 40 calibre when swung
broadside just reach the rail, and the side blast
when fired prevents the of secondary guns
Immediately below. BY increasing the length

to secure higher initial velocity. The Bureau of
ordnance IS designing some sights for tur-
ret guns which viii combine open telescopic

Louisiana and the Connecticut will be equipped
with them.

GIVES UP THE CONDOR
PHAEToN ARRIVES TODAY AFTER
CRUISE.
She Saw Nothing Of the Missing sloop
And viii Return This Week To
Esqumalt

The British cruiser Phaeton Captain
Fleet, which has been cruising in search
of the lost sloOp of war Condor arrived
i'm port this morning, after a q day
cruise from San Francisco. The vessel
came up from the south west and for a
long time, considerable speculation was
INDUCED i'm as to her identity. As she
came nearer It was able to make out
with the aid of the marine glasses, that
she was a British cruiser of the second
class and subsequently, she proved Co
be the Phaeton. The boat saluted as
she came into the harbor. British Con-
sui HOare paid an official visit to the
vessel and a salute was fired in his
honor.
Absolutely no trace Of the missing
Condor was secured. The Phaeton
cruised i'm a zig gag course, making
about knots an hour. Captain Fleet
is well acquainted with the waters in
this part of the Pacific as he formerly
commanded the cruiser Icarus. He had
intended going to Tanning Island but
owing to the receipt of the news of the
recovery of the Condor's boats and spar
he will return to Esquimalt February
% and not continue the search although
he will. of course, continue to keep a
sharp lookout for the missing boat on
the voyage home.
The Phaeton is a second class cruiser
and has a complement of about $50 men,
although she lost quite a number of
them by desertions in Esquimalt.
