More Scout Cruisers.

WASHINGTON, November Icon
gress may be asked to provide for some
additional naval scout cruisers, con-
corning new type of which consider
alton is being given in the navy de-
partment, with a view to furnishing
the house and senate naval committees
with information on the subject. There
appears to be a difference of expert
view in regard to the wisdom of pro-
viding for more naval scouts at this
time. Those who believe that the con
gressional allotment for naval increase
could be more advantageously applied
in other directions base their opinion
on the assumption that it will be pos
sible, In time of war, to obtain mer-
chant vessels, which will answer the
purpose of scouts. 1t is urged against
this proposition, that there are few
entirely satisfactory merchant steamers,
which have a speed of twenty knots.
This is speed which is not regarded
as sufficient IN the performance of
duties devolving upor that particular
type of warship, and. moreover. there
are bound TO be difficulties and delays
IN acquiring possession of such vessels,
to say nothing of their conversion.
While the plans for the new scouts have
not gone beyond the initial stage and
have assumed a merely tentative shape,
for the purposes Of discussion, there
appears to be agreement in favor of
scout, which shall be larger than the
Chester and sister ships. 1t is prob
able that the next scouts to be built
will have displacement of at least
5000 tons, which ought to afford the
means Of speed of twenty-seven knots,
with enlarged capacity for coal to fur
nish a correspondence increased steam
ing radius. Of course, greater speed.
up to thirty knots. for instance, will
depend upon sacrifices in other chief
characteristics. The motive power is
destined to be supplied by turbines.
rather than reciproeating engines. with
certainty that the new scouts will
have heavier machinery than that of
the Chester and Salem. the turbine
driven scouts now in commission.
