LONDON, April 29.-The newspaper cor

Russian Government. The correspondent
Of the STANDARD says Mr.. Schwab offered
TO build several warships Of 1900 tons bur

efficiency than existing vessels OF the
same tonnage. They would be Of the
cruiser type, with the fighting value Of
battleships
According to the correspondent, the oher
is made possible by the discovery Of secret
structural process, which, il is understood,
consists Of using an extremely strong steel
composition, which permits the weight Of
vessels to be lessened. The vessels, more

wide steaming radius and would mount
the heaviest guns,
