BOOM IN DREADNOUGHTS.
Three Minor Naval Powers Expecte,
to Buy Big Vessels.
Special Cablegram 10 The Star.


LONDON, January 25.-There is every
prospect of a boom in the construction
of Dreadnoughts for minor naval powers
In the immediate future, and British ship
builders have every reason to hope that
they will profit most by it. Three powers
are likely to be in the Dreadnought mar
ket. The first is Spain, which will prob
ably. place orders for three battleships
three or more fast cruisers and six de-
stroyers abroad. 1t is understood that
two or more of the battleships will BE-
built by Messrs. Vickers, Sons & Maxim
at Barrow; the fast cruisers by the Arm
strong works at Elswick. and the de-
stroyers by Messrs. Thornycroft. The
firm Of John Brown & Co. Is likely to
share in the contracts for machinery and
armor. and the guns will prob ably be
made at Elswick. The total value of the
contracts will exceed $35 900, 900.
Another power which Is about to build
Dreadnoughts is the Argentine Republic
Two are likely to be ordered In England
and possibly a third may be laid down in
view of the fact that Brazil is building
three.
The repercussion of the Brazilian pro-
gram is being felt in Chile. which has al
ways made it point of honor to keep
pace with the neighboripg South Ameri-
can navies. The construction Of two. or
possibly three, Chilian Dreadnoughts is
under consideration and negotiations have
been opened with British shipbulders.

A STEAMER GOES down
Steamer Horatio Ball Sent to Bottom
In Collision With a Freight
Boat This Morning.
Special to the Herald.

Special to the Herald.
Newport, N. j., March 10.-The
steamer Horatio Ball was sent to the
bottom early today as the result of a
collision in dense fog with freight
er, the H. F. Dimmock, while bound
from Boston to New York The Ball
belonged to the Portland-New York
line,> and carried heavy cargo of
freight, but few passengers. She
was smashed below the water line.
Captain Jewel put the boat under full
speed after the collision and ground
ed her on the beach at Gay Head. He
then sent a message asking for as
sistance. The revenue. cutter Gresh-
am was sent to his aid The fate of
the Dimmock is unknown, but it is
believed to be only slightly injured
and still afloat. The report that the
Massachusetts, a freighter of the
Merchants Line, was in the collision,
is untrue. The Massachusetts, how
ever, did strike rock at Tarpaulin
Cove, in the Vineyard Sound, and
was beached. No one was injured in
the accidents so far as known.
