Three Floating Fortresses Of

NEW PATTERNS IN CRUISERS.
Proposed Craft Will BE Used for Many
Purposes and VIII be OF Per-
fccted Models.

London, Feb. 17.-In view of the
threatening attitude OF that section of
the Radical party which advocates re-
uuctlon In armaments, there has been
ihueh speculation as to whether the
government win persist in the deter
hlihatlon reached on the advice OF the
iords OF the admiralty to submit In
creased naval estimates to parliament.
Ihose In position to know say they
VIII and, backed by strong public opin-
ION VIII be able 10 carry them through
without difficulty. What these esti-
mates provide for in the way of new
eonseruotton is another question that
has been mucn discussed.
A naval officer who, while not ANNE
ting the possession of any inside infor-
nation. is nevertheless well informed,
gives the following as the probable pro-
gram:
THREE MORE MONSTERS.
Three armored vessels on the improv-
ed Dreadnaught type; ships that will
embody many changes devised after the
thorough trials through which the first
of this class has passed.
Two cruisers. improvements on the
old Edgar class, $500 tons. with a great
radius of action, enabling them TO re-
main at sea for long periods when en-
gagged as parent ships for torpedo crfat
or as scouts or dispatch boats.
At least u torpedo craft, the majority
OF them of the tribe class, two of which,
the Tartar and Ghurka, recently ran
their trials with much success. There
also will be provision for additional
submarines but OF these the admiralty
maintain the greatest secrecy.
THE GERMAN ATTITUDE
This is not looked upon as complete
answer to Germany's program. That,
even the critics of the policy OF the
admiralty admitting that the start Eng
land has secured will enable her to
maintain the two power standard with
out rushing work during the coming
fiscal year. Besides, the delay of u
months will allow her TO learn some
thing Of what other powers are doing
and then "go them ono better either
by outbuilding them or designing ship
that will be a great Improvement over
those now Being constructed
Germany's refusal to agree at The
Hague to the proposal TO prohibit the
placing OF floating mines has caused
British activity in still another direc-
ton. Heretofore this country has had
but two mine laying vessels. Since The
Hague conference adjourned work has
been begun on the conversion of three
second class cruisers for this purpose.
