"The two ships were built with the
assistance, both professional and finan-
cial, Of the British admiralty, the gov
ernment advancing the necessary sum
of about $13,000,0 900 for the cOnstruc-
ton of the two ships, and guarantee
ing the payment of a considerable an
nual sum in consideration Of the ships
carrying the mails, being held avail
able as cruisers in the event of war,
and embodying i'm their construction
such features as would render them
quickly convertible for this purpose.
For service as cruisers ii is necessary
that their steering gea and the pro-
polling machinery should be fairly well
protected and that they should be
strengthened in the decks for the
mounting Of "a battery Of rapid fire
guns~.----.The vessels are provided
with twelve platforms for the mount
ing of as many 80 caliber rapid-fire
6-inch guns, each with a velocity Of
1900 feet per second, and a muzzle
energy of about 5000 fOot-tons. With
such protection and armament, and
their ability to maintain a sea speed of
san, DfIL 10 DEk Ennts ON hnir fhaSn
vessels should be capable of overtaking
and capturing any Of the fast scouts,
and a larger proportion OF the fast pro-
tected cruisers and commerce destroy
ers of any possible enemy"
