This afternoon the "United States armored cruiser Xew York was launched from the Cramp ship building yard. There -were fully 15,000 people present, including the Secretaries of the Saxr, Treasury and Interior Depart ments. Two platforms had been erected, one directly beneath the bows of the cruiser and the other on an adjoining whart. The christening party, headed by Mr. Cramp, Secretary Tracy and about 150 specially in vited guests, made their way toward the stand beneath the bows of the cruiser. The other stand was crowded with about 5,000 people, and after those who had cards had been admitted the gate were thrown open and about 15,000 people in all were collected to see the Xew York go off. After Secretary Tracy, Miss Page and the balance of the party had taken their places, Constructor Jjevtim Xixon began to make preparations lor tile launch. The sheering that held the cruiser in share was knocked away. Mr. Xixon gave a warning call to Miss Page, the great steel hull trembled lrom stem to stern, and then began to move down the tallowy way. Just as the cruiser started Miss Page struck the gayly rib boned bottle she held in her hands against the keel that was slipping by her. close above her head, and as the wine flowed from the broken bottle she cried out: "I christen thee New York!"

Although essentially a commerce de stroyer, the New York will be able to hold her own with all but the heaviest line of bittle snips and return shot for shot with cm in action. The new cruiser is the e iecial pride of Secretarv Tracy, and he n.ts watched her rise lrom the ways with an interest that no other -vessel in the navy has excited in him. She will carry a battery of C 8 inch breech loading rifles, 12 4-fnch rapid firing guns, 8 6-pounder, 4 Gatlings and 6 torpedo tubes Two of the Much guns will be mounted inbsrbettc forward on the upper deck, aud two in similar barbette aft, while the remaining two will he carried iu broadside amidships on the up).r deck. Following are her principal dimensions: Leneth on the water line. S80 feet C 5 inches; breadth of beam, C4 feet; mean draught, 23 feet 3 5 inches displacement, 8,150 tons; maximum speed, 20 knots; sus tained sea speed, 18.5 knots; complement officers and men, 475; coal endurance (total capacity), 13,000 miles. She w ill be 1,500 tons heavier than the Maine and 1,850 tons heavier than the Texas. Compared with English ships of the Agamemnon, Ajax and "War Sprite class, the New York is faster by three knots than the swiftest of these vessels and her radius of action is C.000 miles greater. She hps the advantage also in broadside and turret armor, which, being of nickel steel, will offer greater re sistance. Her Armor Is Amply Protective. She will be a twin screw vessel propelled bv four separate engines, each having a power of 4,500 horses. The electric light plant will hae a capacity ofl0,000amperes, and will include 7,000 incandescent lights. In addition there will be four search lights, 30 inches in diameter, all of which can be controlled from the bridge and conning tower. On the broadside the New York will be protected by one partial belt of armor, another of water excluding material, and a complete protective deck. The pro tective deck will be covered with two courses of plating, having a thickness of 3 inches amidships and 2J inches forward and aft. Amidships the slopes are covered with an additional thickness of 3 inches, nnd the entire space between this and the skin of the ship is filled with cellulose to exclude the water. In the wake of the machinery spaces a belt of thin armor is worked between the protective and berth decks. The total thickness of metal on the fcides throughout this space is 5 inches. In addition to this protection the coal will be stowed on the armor deck, forming an addition j safeguard against serious dam age near the water line. "" The barbettes are ten inches thick and the conical revolving shields on the gun seven inches. The slop ing armor between the upper and gun decks beneath the barbettes is five inches and the ammunition tnbes below of the same thick ness. In addition to the protective deck the New York will have three other com plete decks, a large flying deck, or bridge, upon which all of her boats will be carried, and two military masts, which will be fitted with donble fighting tops for machine guns. Having a free board of 20 feet from the water to the upper deck she will be able to fight her guns and maintain her speed iu sea way that would render smaller ships helpless.
