WITH ENGINES ABOARD.
Engineers Plan Novelty in Launching
of Dreadnought New York.

New York, May 30--The naval en-
gineering officers who are building the
machinery for the 1900 ton super
Dreadaught New York, which is to be
launched at the Brooklyn navy yard
in October, are planning to surprise
the world by launching the boat with
her engines in her hull, feat never
before attempted. The engines are
now nearing completion at the navy
yard shops and will be ready to install
by August 1.
The haste for completing the equip
ment of the New York is largely the
result of keen competition between
government ship yards and those of
private firms. The naval men are
straining every resource to have the
New York Join the fleet as soon or
before her sister .Dreadnaught Texas
launched May is and built by the
Newport News Shipbuilding Co The
Texas had a start of five months on
the New York, but the government
built ship has pulled up four months
of the five. and now is giving the
Texas a close run.
The governmental engines will
be of the reciprocating type and have
2s. 100 horse power. The designed speed
of the Dreadnaught is 20 "a knots.
