Report of the Naval Beard Of Inspec-
ton and SURVEY,

The report of the board of inspection and
survey on the preliminary trial of the
cruiser Cleveland, recently conducted Off
the coast of Maine, was made public at the
Navy Department today. The board re-
ported that the vessel made an average
speed of 16.4508 knots over a course of six
ty-six nautical miles; that the vessel is suf-
fciently strong to carry the prescribed ar
mament, equipment. coal. stores and ma
chinery; that the sea-goipg qualities of the
vessel are excellent; that the vessel, includ-
Ing hull, fittings and machinery, engines
boilers and appurtenances. equipment and
all other contract work strong and we'll
built, and that it is in all essential respects
complete and ready for delivery
The board calls attention to the unrelia-
bility of current observations when tugs
are employed as stake boats. This unre-
liability, the board states, Is increased by
the use OF torpedo boat destroyers. four Of
which were used on trial Of the Cleveland
and which are pronounced habitually un-
steady at their anchors. AS an evidence of
that 1T was noted that the average number
OF revolutions was greater on the run north
while the speed developed was less.
