CHANCES MOR That Were Ordered by the Heads of the Ordnance Bnrean Will Not Cost MOBE THAN EVER BEFOEE. They Consist Chiefly of Some Minor Hatters of Taste. xPaRTT POLITICS IN THE AFFAIR Figure to the Extent or Charges igainit the Administration. I5TEBYIEW WITH COMMODORE FOLGER tmCIXl TXtXQRAM TO TS1C DIPATCIt. "Washington, Aug. 29. .'When the story was first started, a week ago, charging the anthorities of the Navy Department with having made certain changes in the construction of the warship City of New York, which not only involves great addi tional expense to the Government and a correspondingly increased profit to the manufacturers of the armor plate, The Dispatch, in this correspondence, gave the charges in fall, stripped of verbiage in tended to make the story sensational, and gave the formal statement from Secretary Soley, asserting that there was no founda tion whatever for the accusations, with the exception that some changes had been made in the form of the turret plates. Commodore Folger, Chief of the Bureau of Ordnance, who is said to be primarily responsible, and upon whom the bnrden of the charges rests, was at that time absent from the city, but to-day he was again at his desk, and ready to answer, with no more than his natural reserve, the questions of all comers in regard to the changes aud charges. The Chanc or Slight Extent. "res," said the Commodore, to The Dis patch correspondent, "changes have been made to a slight extent in the construction of the plates for the new war vessels, but they do not involve any increasad expense to the Government, for the simple reason that the contracts had not been let fon the plates in the form that was at first con templated, and consequently the contract price for the plates as they are to be made is exactly what it is for similar plates under a contract made years ago, before I came into the department "The chief criticism seems to be against the change from the deflecting armor of the roof of the turrets to what is technically called the vertical form. Now, to begin with, the design for the deflecting form was never fully decided upon. It was a thought of a former administration, an un tried invention appealing to the judgment - as an excellent fancy, but not at all perfect in its suitability lor the uses to which it was to be put IV hat thn Changes Really Mean. "The deflecting turret means that the roof over the guns and gunners, the cart of the turret that revolves, is somewhat conical in form, to deflect projectiles. This is the only portion of the turret that revolves. The lower, and by far the larger portion, is of cylindrical form and is stationary, and it is proposed simply to extend this form a little higher, to that part ot tne turret wnicn re volves. In the conical form the breeches of the gnu extend across the turret to the lowest part of the opposite side from that of the barrel, and there would be very small space lor the trying and arduous work of the gunners who must operate the ponder ous breech mechanism. "It is a question whether the deflecting armor, even leaving the matter of the space, aside, is a stronger defense against projec tiles than the vertical armor. In the latter the deflecting sides ot the turret will make it almost impossible to seriously injure it with a projectile. It is a lact that the turrets of the old monitors with their crude armor were rarely seriously injured by shot or shell. The form is a matter of judg ment and as the deflecting armor had never been lormally selected, it was thought that in view of some very objectionable features it would be best to return to the vertical design. BTosttr a Slatter of Taste. "As to the change in the form of a por tion of the armor for the hull, that was hardly more than a matter of taste. It was made in the interests of prompt work, upon the decision of a board of officers, will cost no more than the other form, and no one who knows anything about it can truthfully say that it will be less effective than the former design. "Any one who says that any change that has been ordered will detract from the ef ficiency of the vessel is simply making an assertion that he cannot bear out in the light of experience or by scientific demonstration. Had it been pos sible to have constructed the New York without delay upon the untried plans, the experiment of the deflective or conical tur ret might have been made; but taking all things into consideration and nobody but those who are responsible has any idea of the many things that have to be considered in such an undertaking it was a wise action to make the changes that have been made, and those who are responsible for them are willing to subject all of their acts to the fullest inquiry. "I see that a Congressional investiga tion is predicted. 'Well, it seems to be very easy in these days to get up a Con gressional investigation upon almost any charge by anybody, and jet I do not find that any one has been seriously injured by them. At any rate, so far as I am person ally concerned, I have nothing to conceal and can give a good reason for every action in which 1 have had any part An Apparently Strained Story. "The whole story bears the impress of be ing strained and amplified for the purpose of making a sensation during a dull period, and as will be recognized from the attempt to make a point against the department for iailiug to advertise for bids at the time the contract was given to the firm at Pittsburg. The truth is the firm was the only one in a position to accept the contract, and it would nave been a mere hollow form, w orse than useless, to have advertised. "I might say much more as to the source from which the charges if they can be called charges emanated, but it would be manifestly out of place. I shall not be drawn into any controversy. If charges be made against me personally I shall be only too glad to meet them." It will be noticed that Commodore Folger gives practically the same series of denials es was given by Acting Secretary Soley to The Dispatch, a week ago. There now remains only Secretary Tracy to be inter viewed, and this will fie done promiscuously as soon as be returns from his jaunt on the Government yacht, Tne Despatch. Then the very clever gentlemen who are stirring up all this fuss will have the complete de nials of the persons in authority, and can move on their works if they desire to do so. Some Assertions Considered Fogey. "While there is no doubt of the changes made, it is apparent that the assertions of the ruinous and expensive character of the changes are rather foggy. On the one side it is asserted that they will in no wise affect the efficiency ot the vessels, and on the other it is insinuated that their resisting power will be greatly decreased. On the one side it is claimed that there will be little or no increase of cost, aud that the cost will be ev6n lessened, and on the other I the estimates of additional expense ran all the way from thousands to hundreds of thousands. "Whatever miy be the exact truth which JHIHbbHl'sbHHHHb1LbA25&! no one outside of the Department can pos sibly know there is no doubt that the charges emanate from the clique which is opposed to the present administration of the Ordnance Department Commodore Sicard, the former Chief of the Bureauof Ordnance, and the officers who acted with him form a clique which has opposed nearly ervery act of the present administration of the office. Especially have the officers of this clique been excited by, the least changes made in designs originating during their tenure, though they themselves were re sponsible for changes at least as radical as any that have been made by the present of ficials. Party Politics In the Hatter. Party politics also enters, to some extent, into the controversy, as many of the officials who operated under ex-Secretary "Whitney were very friendly to that gentle man, and are jealous of anyact that could reflect upon the judgment of his administra tion. It is these officials who are stirring up the trouble, though they are keeping themselves in the background in the fear that tbey may be disciplined, ai they are makintr serious assanlta on the integrity of their superior officers which they should never have even whispered unless they were ready to make them good before a court of naval officers. There is either subject for a formal in quiry, or there is nothing but jealousy at the Sack of the charges. In the one case the Secretary of the Navy and the Chief of the Bureau of Ordnance should be hauled over the coals, and in the- other the officers (and some of them are of high rank) who are responsible for the attacks on the Sec retary and the Chief of Ordnance should at least be consigned to active duty, away from the soft places they now fill largely by reason of social influence. "A strong ground for the supposition that the charges are magnified is that the Chief of Ordnance has constantly known that the eyes of the opposing clique were upon his every action, and that he could do abso lutely nothing without their knowledge. He would have been something more than foolish, even if he wished to indulge in fa voritism, or in corrupt schemes, to have done so in the face ot certain discovery and ultimate disgrace. Jealousy on Both Slds of the Fence. "On the other hand, it is possible that some of the changes made, were the result of jealousy $h the part of the clique of which Commodore Folger is a central figure. It takes but a small provocation to set these sensitive natal officers by the ears, and in their jealous fits they are liable to magnify every movement of the opposition that can be gotten hold of for criticism." The assertion that Secretary Traoy has been the catspaw of Commodore Folger is one of the most, absnrd of the charges made. The Secretary has heard both sides of all these questions, and if he accepted Folger's views it was because of his con viction that they were for the best interests ot the Government Either that or he must be as culpable, and deliberately so, as Folger. Ai the same time, it is true that it wasn't the unanimous opinion of those who are en tirely friendly to both Tracy and Folger that the surrender of the deflecting turret idea was wise. Though it was an untried experiment, even so conservative an official as Chief Naval Constructor Hicbborn is ot the opinion that the conical turret would have proved a great success. On the other hand, I was told by a high officer of the navy, long before this controversy arose, that the designs for the conical turret were very defective, and that the big guns could not be operated effectively or safely in them. But Mr. Hichborn happens to have been the designer of the turret DOJi'T CARE TO TALK. The Carnegie Company Will Answer Official Examiners Retarding the Armor Plate Rumor Questions by Anyone Else Will Be Disregarded. "The Carnegie Company does not fear any investigation or the resuit ot hasty con clusions drawn by the public." This from Secretary Loejoy last night regarding the publication in the New York Herald of rumors in the Navy Department in connec tion with imperfect armored shipbuilding. In the JlcraXd t article, part of whichLift published in The Dispatch of yeqterdYg issue, questions were asiteu concerning' y location of the blame for ineffectual plat ing. They were not answered, and Secre tary Lovejoy said he did not, nor did the Carnegie board feel called upon to answer such questions, except to officials. "The matter," he continued, while at home last evening, "is clearly a conflict be tween the two naval departments. "We have friends in both, and do not choose to antagonize either by useless utterances." "Do you then consider the questions asked as useless?', "Until asked by persons in authority they are. " "Are you careless of the natural conclu sions drawn by the public?" "If the public ch'ooses to draw hasty con clusions they are certainly unrestricted by the Carnegie Company to do as they please.

"We are not fearful of the results." A telegram from Bath,- Me., to The DIS PATCH says: "The new Government ram, popularly' known as the American ram, which is building at the Bath Iron "Works, will probably be launched the latter part of September, but the exact date is held in abeyance pend ing the resumption of work at the Carnegie mills. The big ram is now completed save the addition of her shaft tubes, rudder and side plating, none of t which can be finished until the Carnegie works are heard from. The ram's engines, which have also been built by the Bath Iron "Works -will be ready for setting up as soon as the craft floats. The Castine and Machias, two gun boats recently launched at the iron works, are also in a state of statu quo, pending the receipt of plating from the Carnegie mills. The officers of the iron works state that these vessels, according to contract, should have been delivered by them to the Government a month ago, and tljey are in a measure curious to know who is to suffer the penalties prescribed in the Government stipulations in case of delay. They promise to have both vessels ready for their trial trips within a few days after the arrival of the plating. Secretary Lovejoy said he knew nothing of the Government ram, as all vessels are until named known officially only by a number. "Begarding the penalty lor fail ing to fulfill a contract," he resumed, "we will not suffer, as all labor troubles are sufficient causes' in the eyes of the Govern ment for delay." Marriage.
