New Ship to Be of No Leas Than 30.000 Tons Dis placement, and Design I Believed to Include Many Novelties, Includ ing Assembling of Three Guns in Each Turret. Washington, Special. Naval cir ;les are agitated over a report which reaches Washington that the BritUb idmiralty is about to lay down the teel for a giant ship that will bo 50 ?cr. cent greater in tonnage than tha redoubtable "Dreadnought." It i liflicult to secure any information respecting the plans for this ship, and t is said that the British govern nent s agian proceeding, as it did in the case of the Dreadnought, to build the vessel behind closed gates. Even tually, of course, the man character istics of war vessels built under these conditions become known, but the British government feels that it U amply repaid for the trouble it take? to build the ship secretly, by the fact that the British navy is thereby kept at least two years ahead of any other navy in point of design, a most valuable consideration in these days, when a battleship is fre- iqucntly obsolete in the course of fiv years after going into commission. It is understood that the new slvp is to be of no less than 30,000 ton? displacement, against 20,000 tons of the Dreadnought, but aside from the mere matter of superior size, the, de sign is believed to include many nov elties some based on the experience of the Dreadnought. Such a one, for instance, is understood to be the con templated assembling of three guns in each turret, fo that if the new shij. is equalled with the six turrets, she will carry no Iess than 18 guns in her main batter'. The calibre of thd guns, however, wi?Ir it K fielieved, re main at 12 inches, the present stand ard. The report of the British plan has caused eome of the bolder designers to proceed to. greater length and to propose the laying down of a battle- hip of 40,000 tons displacement, placing the American navy clearly in the lead. Naval designers are be lieved to be willing to undertake the construction of such a ship. It would cost no less than $20)00,000, but in view of the predaminanco ,.it wornd give to America as a naval power it is argued by the advocates of the proposition that such a ship would be an economical investment by tend ing to ensure peace. 100 Additional Union Mechanics Join Building Trades Strike.
