PLANS FOR BATTLESHIPS.
TentatiUe Designs for Ne10 10000
Ton DreadnOughts Completed.


Washington March 12.-Tentative plans for
the two new battleships authorized by the last
Congress have been completed They contem~
plate vessels Of 26GO0 tons displacement, draw
ing 26 feet inches, with a length over all Of
554 feet. a beam on the load waterline OF 93
feet 23s inches and a speed of 20.5 knots The
plans provide for twelve 12-nch guns. located
in six turrets placed exactly over the centre
line of the ship and capable of being used for a
concentrated broadside fire in practically all di-
rections. The weight Of the projectile thrown
by a 12-Inch gun is so pounds so that each Of
these ships, if completed according to the tenta-
tive plans, will be able to throw q combined
weight Of 1O44O pounds of steel at an enemy's
ship with single discharge of its main bat
terry
The department is making every effort 70
complete the plans and specifications with the
least possible delay, so that the contracts may
be placed within the next three months
There is sIackness of work in private ship
yards at present Of which the department hopes
10 take advantage, as. it is believed II bids are
called for soon enough there will be sharp com
petition and consequently better prices. As soon
as the specifications are completed bids Will be
called for. not only for the two battleships but
also for the five torpedo destroyers and the
collier authorized by the new law. Wyoming
and Arkansas are the names selected for the
two battleships. The only states for which bat
tleships or armored cruisers have not been
named now are Nevada and oklahoma

The statement of Reginald McKenna, First
Lord of the Admiralty. naturally makes no ref

the governments intention must be awaited
until the estimates discussed in Parliament
The estimates will be discussed in the Com
mons next Monday The attack on the govern
ment probably will centre in a criticism Of the
unusual method of providing for a possible
necessity with four extra armored ships.
According to the best information, the govern

programme of battleship construction is being
carried out much more rapidly than had been
supposed, and it was this knowledge that led 10
the adoption OF the unusual plan Most of the
newspapers tomorrow will assume that all of
the intended extra vessels will be Of the Dread

twenty-five fully manned battleships and four
