Engineer Mcintyre characterizes
the present reservoir as the finest

TENNESSEE ALL RIGHT.
New Cruiser Makes Better Speed Than
 Required.

Boston, February 13.-The new armored cruiser Tennessee made an unofficial speed of 22.16 knots on her speed trial yesterday, according to the report of one of the trial board. There was slight accident in course of the trial which was repaired but which resulted in a delay of several hours. The speed shown is .16 of knot Tin excess of the contract requirements. The members of the trial board were landed at this port after mid- night and left on an early train for Washington.
 The acciednt comprised the dropping out of one of the "brasses' of the crank pin of the main engine. It occurred af- ter the vessel had been out nearly two hours and it not only caused delay o: about six hours, but necessitated a second start The cruiser was then given the full four hours test, finishing just before o'clock The mishap apparently did not affect her subsequent speed unfavorably.
