New Fighting Vessels and
Equipments.

London. April 6.--The naval officers
attached to the embassies and lega-
lions accredited to the Court Of St.
James, have found the difficulties in
obtaining Information with regard to
Great Britain's naval plans growing
greater until they have reached a point
where 1t Is next to Impossible to pene-
trate the veil of secrecy maintained
at the naval yards in thist country.
Great Britain in this respect Is adopt
Ing the policy of her far eastern allies
When the ,battleship Dreadnought
was launched, the naval attaches did
ascertain some of the details of her
construction, but that was Great Brit
aims first attempt to prevent foreign
ers from gaining information regard
ing her new ships. A second and more
successful attempt is being made in
connection with the three giant cruis-
ers Inyincible, Inflexible and Indomi-
table. The hrst two vessels are now
under construction and the latter was
launched recently.
AS is customary on such occasions,
all the naval attaches were invited to
the launching. They attended, expee-
ting that during the morning before
the general public arrived they would
be given an opportunity to look over
the ship. But this was not to be. for
Great Britain's policy had changed.
The ATTACHES were placed. under the
guidance of an officer who kept them
busily engaged inspecting the boiler
shop while they were all eager to sug-
gest visiting the Indomitable before
the hour for the launching. They did
reach the ship in time to be present
at the baptismal ceremonies and see
the vessel slide into the water. but
with this exception everything remain
ed government secret, Ordinarily,
the spaces In which the ar1nor Is to be
placed are left vacant at the launch
ing, and 1t has been possible for ex-
perts easily to judge the thickness or
the plates to be Inserted. But in the
Indomitable these spacese were filled
with planking SO there was no means
of even guessing at the thickness of
the arnnor.
The attaches say they have learned
nothing regarding this ship but. in
order to make only certain that no
information regarding the new navy
reaches foreign powers. the admiralty
has issued orders that henceforth the.
same secrecy he maintained regarding
all new ships and that the staff. en-
trusted with the carrying out the de-
tails of construction be placed upon
oath to diVulge nothing respecting the
plans. y
The same secrecy surrounds the i'm
provement IN naval gunA which Sir
Percy Scott, the gunnery expert, has
perfected and is now installing on the
Mediterranean fleet. This device, 1t Is
said, greatly increases the capacey OF
the guns, but it's nature Is known only
to those in the inner circle.
