Better Reports for May Than for Many
Months.

According to reports just received by the
chief naval constructor, the rate of prog

more satisfactory during the past month
than during a similar period for many
months past. All of the nine battleships
now under construction advanced in May

built by the Newport News Company, hav-
ing reaching SO per cent, which will enable
her being placed in commission about Oc-
tober. She will be commanded by the
Presidents brother-in-law, Capt William
s. Cowles, assistant chief of the bureau Of

The other battle ships have reached the
following degrees of completion: Ohio, 75
per cent; Virginia, 2; Nebraska, 20; New
Jersey, 81; Georgia, 2S; Rhode Island 81;
Connecticut, 10, and the Louisiana, 12
The Louisiana, which is being built by
the Newport News Company, in competition
with her sister ship, the Connecticut, being
built by the government at the New York
navy yard, is now in the lead by 2 per
cent
The armored cruiser Maryland, being
vanced during the month from Al to 40
per cent The seven other twenty-two-
knot arrnored cruisers have all made salts

81; California, %; Colorado. IS, and the
South Dakota, g.
The progress made in the construction of
the nine protected cruisers has been good
in the cases of some of the vessels and not
satisfactory in the cases Of others. The
Denver has advanced from 30 to 81 per
