[FRoM THE TRIBUNE BUREAU.I

IN FAVOR OF NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. A. 3.
Canaga, the naval engineer officer who made the
transatlantic trip the turbine steamship VIC
torian recently for the purpose of ascertaining
whether the turbine mechanism would be ap-
pIicable to naval vessels as of propulsion,
has reported that the energy and Intelligence now
bestowed the turbine motors will decide the
position the turbine is to take. compared with the
reciprocating engine The change. he points out,
is easily made. The cruising turbines require
additional engine space. and add somewhat
to the weight of the propelling machinery lie does
not consider this increase loss. as the combina-
ton of the cruising with the main turbines enables
vessel fitted to keep the sea longer while still
retaining in reserve the advantages Of speed. In
view of his observations and the experiments
which have been going on abroad. especially with
British naval ships the American expert finds that
the results mark important progress for the marine
turbine. and suggests that its use should be more
general in the vessels Of the United States navy
He strongly recommends that hereafter turbines
be installed in torpedo boats destroyers, scout
cruisers and gunboats adding: Their use in such
vessels and the experience gained therefrom Will
doubt demonstrate the wisdom of fitting them
in battleships and armored cruisers"
