will probably be begun in February.

made last session and this will be used
to meet frat payments, but with the
amount now asked this will be only

will be nearly twice as long, half
again as wide and Of three times as

ana's four 13-inch guns and eight g.

and % 5-inch rifles, the same arma-
ment as her sister ship the Pennsyl-

In addition to the great size of the
new ships main battery, the guns are
of As calibre as against the IS calibre
of the Indiana's 13-inch guns, identical
with those aboard the famous old Ore
gon, which played their part in the
battle of Santiago. With the fourteens
of the Arizona in her turrets, the Ore
gon could have halted any one of the
fleeing Spanish ships almost without
leaving her station. The Arizona's
guns have range even at the low
elevation of American navy mountings,
of Is miles or more against eight or
nine miles for the old thirteens.
The Arizona will be the fourth bat
tleship built by the United States in
it's own navy yard at New York. The
others were the Connecticut, the
dreadnaught Florida and the super
dreadnaught New York, at present one
of the largest, swiftest and most
powerful of American fighting craft
