BIDS FOR BATTLE CRUISERS.
Contracts to Be Awarded For Foul
Fast Fighting Monsters.

Washington Dec. Bids for four
battle cruisers authorized at the last
session Of congress and the first VESSELS
of this type TO be designed for the
American navy were being opened to-
day at the navy department.. The ships
will be the largest and swiftest fight
ing craft ever built, SO far as Amer
lean naval men know. They will have
a maximum horsepower Of 10000,
which will drive them faster than thir-
ty-f five knots~an hour, against thirty
knots for the fastest European ship
now afloat.
Congress authorized the ships to be
built within three years. Only ten
tative estimate Of the cost was posi-
BILE the completed price being fixed at
approximately S21,O0O,000 per ship.
The Newport News Shipbuilding and
Dry Dock Company and the Cramps,
Of Philadelphia, in proposals sub
mitted to the navy today based their
bids on cost plus 10 per cent for profits
The Union Iron Works, of San Fran
cisco. and the Fore River Shipbuilding
Company offered to build the ships at
cost plus Is per cent. None OF the
companies made flat bids.
The Newport News company fixed
the time for construction at fifty-one
months, with the turbo- electric propul-
sion. The Union Iron Works and the
Fore River Company submitted similar
proposals for one ship each to be COM
pleted within forty eight months, They
proposed also a sliding scale under
which their profits would be increased
by speedy construction or decreased by
delay.
The Cramps submitted the briefest
proposal for construction of capital
ship ever received by the department.
1t was in the form Of letter merely
proposing to build one ship in the
shortest time possible on the basis Of
cost plus 10 per cent profit. ~.
The bids were taken under advise
ment to determine whetfSr they COM
ply with the law. 1t is probable each
bidder will be awarded one ship.
