OUR EMPHASIZES
ADMIRAL DEWEY NOT SUPPORT.
 ED IN HIS ADVOCACY.
Ships of Smaller Tonnage Required Just Now in Preference to One Mammoth Fighting Machine.
 Say the Experts.
Say the Experts.

Washington, March 29.-Since the decision of the house committee on
 naval affairs to recommend an ap-
 propriation of $6,000,OO0 for the
 construction of battleship larger
 than any now af1oat, naval experts
 here have begun discussion of the
 size of battleships which shows that
 Admiral Dewey is not supported by
 many naval officers in his advocacy
 of battleship greater than the 1S,- ! 900 ton English battleship Dread | nought.
 | Naval constructors are agreed that
 an effective battleship with a dis
 placement of 20.00O tons or more
 can be constructed, but they ques- tion the advisability of authorizing
 one ship of this type at the present time and not making an effort to provide additional 16,000 ton bat tleships to supplement the quota of
 smaller ships.
 At least four battleships of the same speed and with similar batter
 les are necessary, according to the view of these constructors, to be ef- fective in an engagement. One great battleship, even if it be swift CT and have more guns than other ships afioat, they contend, cannot accomplish anything in actual war and is no more effective than the slower and less formidable ships with which it is joined in action.
 When Rear Admiral Capps, the chief constructor of the navy, dis cused the size Of battleships before the house committee on naval affairs, he advocated the construction of two 16,000 ton battleships, like the pro- posed battleships Michigan and South Carolina. that the navy may have four effective ships of this type to operate together. Admiral Dewey, however, showed a decided prefer ence for one great battleship rather than two smaller ones.
 If congress should decide that the new battleship must have twelve 12- inch guns, as has been suggested, a ship with displacement of 22,000 tons would be necessary, in the opin- ion of Admiral Capps, and Secretary Bonaparte believes this will probably be the size of the proposed ship. The British battleship Dreadnought will carry only ten 12-inch guns.
 The twenty-seven first class battle ships of the United States navy are of eight different types and the vari- ety. is so great that few of the ships are suitable for joint operations. This great variety is not satisfactory to naval officers who are anxious that the new construction should be har- monized in such manner that more of the battleships may be used in forming units for action.
 It is probable that gigantic ship of the size proposed by congress can not be completed in less than four or five years. Great Britain construct ed the Dreadnought in less than a year from the time 1t was author ized. Naval officers of other coun- tries have intimated that the Dread nought was rushed to completion so that other powers might see how soon England can build big navy.
