FLEET MAY ARRIVE EARLIER
Plan to Being Sea Fighters Before
Mobilization Considered.

The suggestions tnat the battle
ships of the Atlantic fleet assemble in
New York few days earlier than the
date set for the mobilization and re-
view is to receive the consideration of
Secretary Meyer.
1t is known that Rear Admiral Hugo
0sterhaus, commander in chief of the
fleet, favors the suggestion, which
came from the Mayor of New York
and members of the city committee
appointed to look after the entertain
ment of the men of the fleet.
Admiral 0sterhaus thinks that he
can get most of the ships through
their work in time to reach New York
between October and 10 if the Sec
retary of the Navy approves Of the
plan.
The date set for the mobilization
and review il October 13 to Is. The
Navy Department was at first asked
to extend the period of the fleets
stay to a week, but officials decided
that coul not be one.

to hold the mobilization and review
at San Francisco on October IS to Is,
as was expected.
The big ships Of the Pacific feet are
now so scattered that there is little
possibility OF their being able to get
together in time for a review next
month. The revolt in Nicaragua is
mainly responsible for the abandon
ment Of the review plans.
The cruisers California, Colorado,

The gunboat Vicksburg is cruising

ships, is at Yokohama, where it is
waiting to take Secretary Knox back

BIGGEST BATTLESH|P
WILL Be THE FASTEST
Pennsylvania Expected to Develop
q Knots One More Than
New York.
TO HAVE z6 SINGH GUNS.
Powerful Secondary Battery VIII Sup,
port Twelve Ia Inch Rifles.

Naval constructor are at work on the
plans for the new battleship Penn
sylvania, and il is expected some an
nouncement will be made in regard to
them in the near future.
1t is expected that the Pennsyl-
vania will be the strongest fighting
ship of any navy when she is put in
commission. In number and size of
guns, in speed and in armor she viii
be at least a shade better than any
battIeship that has yet been laid
down. The Pennsylvania will carry
twelve l4-ineh guns.
Tis is a heavier armament than is
possessed by any United States bat
tleship or any European fightiag ship
at the present time. The 14-inch gun
is new arrival in the United States
Navy and will appear first on the
Texas and New York, the latter to
be launched at the New York navy
yard on October 80.
The New York will have, however,
only ten of these huge rifles, while
the Pennsylvania will carry twelve.
The new battIeship will also have
twenty six 5-inch guns in her secon-
dary battery, it is understood, and
probably four submerged torpedo
tubes. Her length, it is reported,
will be $50 feet, 55 feet longer than
that of the largest batteships in this
navy, built or building. Her beam
wilt be between 95 and 100 feet, per-
mitting her to pass through the Pam
anna Canal locks.
Were il not for the limitation of
beam caused by the size of the canal
locks the Pennsylvania would have
greater breadth. As it is the naval
constructors are restricted, and this
fact accounts for her greater length.
With the increased length the Penn
sylvania will gain in speed probably
more than one knot over the twenty
one knots which the New York is ex-
pected to make. Sixteen-inch armor
is to extend almost her entire length
two feet above the water line, it is
stated.
1t has not yet been decided wheth-
er turbines or the reciprocating type
of engines will be installed. The
vessel will use only oil as fuel and the
economy in space resulting from the
elimination of coal bunkers and the
substitution Of oil tanks will. in part,
contribute to her ability to make bet
ter speed. Her tonnage will be about
81, 900, it is calculated.
The plans for the Pennsylvania are
before the general board of the navy
for review. One of the questions
they will have to pass on is the num-
Der of propellers the Pennsylvania is
to have. 1t is a question whether
she will have two or three. A report
from the board is expected this week.
1t is practically settled that the
Pennsylvania shall be constructed in
commercial yard and not in one
of the navy yards. It is the policy
Of the navy to give a large part of
the work of battleships construction
to private yards in order that these
industries may be encouraged and
that facilities for battieship contruc-
tion may be at hand when needed.
The announcement of plans and
specifications for the benefit of pros
pective bidders will probably be made
soon. Contractors are usually allow
ed sixty days in which to submit their
estimates.
