NO AMERICAN
DREADNOUGHTS
New 20, 600 To, Battleships
Recently Contracted for
Different from Eng
lish Warships.
ARMAMENT TO
BE SUBMERGED
Guns Will be Line With the
Keel Instead of in Tur-
ret Like the Brit
ish.

Washington, July There is no
such thing as an American Dread
nought nor is any projected" said a
distinguished naval officer to-day. He
was referring to the two great 10000
ton battleships, contracts for which
have just been Professionally awarded,
and which were mentioned in the con-
gressional debates and newspapers as
Of the "Dreadnought" class. "The new
ships should be called the Delaware
class, for without knowing what the
second ship is to be called, the first
vessel of the kind usually fixes the
name of the class, and Secretary Met
calf has christened number 2S Della
ware, " said this officer
The officer then pointed out the diff
ference between the English Dread
nought and the American Delaware
classes, going into some details as to
tho plans for the latter which it is not
deemed polite by the navy department
to make public even at this late date.
Generally stated. the salient points of
difference were to be found in the ar
engagement of the armament. The IL
irch guns of the British vessels are
carried In two turrets on the central
lines from bow to stern and in two
waist or side turrets; while the guns
of the Delaware type" are placed in
four turrets in the line with the keel,
The advantage of the latter arrange
rnent is the ability to bring every one
of the guns of the primary batteries of
the ship to bear upon an opponent on
either side, while Is per cent of the
British fire would be masked under like
circumstances. There also are numer-
GUS changes in the interior arrange
ments, and on the whole, according to
sthe naval officer, save from the fact
that the tonnage of the two classes are
alike and turbine machinery is to be
.1Eed for the propelling power, the
s.American Delaware" does not resent
BILE the British Dreadnought." The
naval construction board after careful
consideration has unanimously approx
ed the original plan for the disposition
of arn1or on the two big ships, not
withstanding all the clanor that has
been raised about the Eubmergence of
.ti1e principal armor belt when the ship
Is fully loaded as a matter of fact, it is
said that the condition referred to does
not exist for more than twenty-four
hours after the ship leaves the navy
yard, and when the battleship is in its
normal trim, the lower edge Of the ar
NOR belt will be &wo feet below the
surface of the water, a margin not ex-
cessive in view Of the rolling of the ship
and the consequent exposure to destruc-
tive shell fire of the unprotected hull
beneath.

SOMETHING TO LEARN
Japanese Admirnl's Opinion of Ameri-
cen Navy's Patriotism.

Toxic, July S.-The Hochi this morn
ing prints an interview with Admiral
Sakamoto in which the admiral is
quoted as follows:
''Should hostilities break out between
Japan and America, the result would
be indecisive owing to a want of prop
err bases Of operations. Such bases as
exist are too distant for practical pur-
poses. Even the nearest bases, namely,
the Peseadores, Cavite and Manila, are
600 miles from one another. Even IL
the Washington government should de-
eide on war II Is doubtful whether the
Americans serving in the navy are suf-
fieiently patriotic to fight.
American naval officers are brilliant
fl cures at balls and social gatherings
but they are very deficient in profess
sional training and practice. 1t Is too
much to expect a burning patriotism in
the American naval service in case OF
war with Japan. 1t Is likely that most
of the crews would desert and leave the
ships"

they way to the BASTARD, and yachts
which belong to the islands and visit

Cotter & Co.'S Daily Cotton Lettt

Cotter X Co.'s Daily Cotton Letter.
 New Orleans, March 12.-The failure of Liverpool to respond either to the small ginning figures published yesterday or to the bull ish literature circulated by leading long interests in New York was a distinct disappointment and led to the liquidation this morning of out side followers of this bull move ment. AS We have repeatedly stat ed, success in pulling the remnants of this crop depends entirely on the supply outlook for next season. Ten days of good weather in the belt had to be considered and pro- fessional support therefore has not been as coura geous this week as was necessary to maintain the full advance. However, today's map indicates change for the worse in weather conditions and this may cause another upturn in the mar kets. Rain is probable for the cen tral and eastern states by Thursday and equinoctial vagaries may also be helful to the bull cause.
 The spot is quiet, good desirable cotton is always in demand, but scarce and maintains it's value with out difficulty. Direction, of which the general run. of offerings is com posed, is easier to buy. The dis count, at which such cotton Is sell ing below official quotations for grade is fully covered by the official allowance for color, which is from 1116c to 3-4c.

years, having come here from Pine Bluff, Arkansas. He is machinist, and is held in high esteem by the ma iority of his associates. Excepting his wife, he has no relatives here.
 Since he shot and killed young Me- Clanaghan, Huggard and his wife have been boarding with the latter's father, w. G. Mason.
 The McClanaghans are well edu- cated family. They have only resided in Marshall for short time. Mrs. McClanaghan's brother at Jefferson was communicated with, and arrived here late Saturday afternoon.
 Huggard's wounds were dressed yesterday morning by Doctor J. 4. Moore, chief surgeon of the Texas and Pacific hospital, who pronounced his injuries serious but not necessarily fatal.
 Huggard stood the operation of probing for the bullet with wonderful fortitude After the operation the pa tent slept soundly for some time, and was apparently calm and composed.
 As the county attorney was absent from the city, further legal action in the case was deferred until Monday, when MT. McClanaghan will probably be given a preliminary hearing.

WOMAN'S HOME
 MISSION SOCIETY
Officers Installed at Meeting Yes- terday and Most Interesting Program Was Carried Out at Lakeside Methodist
 Church.

The Lakeside Home Mission so- ciety met yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock in the Lakeside Metho- dist church. Beside the regular program, it was the occasion for the installation of the recently elected officers.
 Mesdames s. R. Steele and N. r. Roberts read interesting articles on "Romanism" and Gospel Needs in the United States
 An unusual and interesting fea- ture of the exercises was the dis tribution of small powders whose medicinal qualities are calculated to cure the ignorance of the church in regard to the needs of our coun- try. These powders consisted of small bits of information.
 The ceremony of installation was impressive, the pastor. Reverend w. C. Watson, conducting the Scripture reading in which the officers took part.
 A letter was read by the corre- spending secretary from Mrs. NJ. l.. Stone, of the Dallas Rescue Home, thanking the Lakeside ladies for the nice box of clothing sent the home last January After various reports, the society was adjourned.
