THE SCRANTON TMBUXK-SATURDAY. MARCH 12, 1898.
Our Warships
The Difference Is
in Our
rrom the llillndilpliln lliiMetln.
At the present time u Krent number
of American cltlzerm me iiHkltii;. with
pome anxiety, how the I'nlted States
navy compares, In tlKlitlnK HtreiiKtli,
with that of Spain. Thin Is a (mention
nboiit which naval experts In America
and lluropo differ soniewliiit. The facts
nrc HUlltclcntly Interesting utfd Imp
portant to make It worth while to Rive
them in detail.
L" t" within n few years oro Spain
had no navy worthy or the name. In
tS'T, however a little later than the
lute nt which our own scheme of naval
rehabilitation lieenn the Snanlsh rov
einnint clili'loil on an extensive pro
ject of naval construction and reor
Ranlzntlon. As a result of the execu
tion of this policy, Spain has today a
nnvy which, thotiRh of moderate size,
Is compact, formidable and homoRene
ous. She pcYpesscs In all ten armored
rlRhtlnR ships, equipped with the lat
est nppljances of mnrltlme warfare,
fast and well armed.
The most Important ship of Spain,
her only armored ship of the line. Is
'the I'eloyo. built in France. Her of
fensive nimament cnmorlscs a stronir
mm, two lL'.fi-luch rllles, mounted in
barbettes of nineteen Inclm of steel,
two 11-Inch i'llles-n nrmoied sponsons,
no (1-Inch rllle In the bow and twelve
4.7-lneh rapld-lli e Runs In broadside.
There are besides several machine Rims
and six tubes for launching Whitehead
torpedoes. Her defence lies In an ar
mored water-Hut' steel licit, irom sev
enteen to eleven Inches thick. She dis
places nearly lo.noo tons of water and
carries SOO tons of coal. On her trial
she made 1C.S knots. Her cost complete
Is said to have been only SS.iUO.OOO.
Next In Importance Is the llrst-class
nrmored crute-er Kmperndor Carlos V.
She carries two It-inch Runs In bar
bette towers, forward and aft; eight
tii-lM'h rapld-tlre puns, four 4-Inch
Kilns, four fi-pounders, four "-pounders
and two machine Rims; also six tor
pedo tubes. Her complete protective
deck Is six inches thick on the slopes
and hnlf that on top. The nutaidc
armor plating Is 1C7 feet Ioiir. live and
three-quarters feet broad and two Inch
es thick. Her barbette towers are
nearly ten inches, and the ammunition
tubes are nenrly elRht Inches thick.
Her coal supply Is very lai-RO 1,770
tons estimated to take the ship 12,000
miles nt a ten-knot speed Her dimen
sions are: Length, f!S0 feet; beam, 07
feet; draught. 24. ."i feet. Her displace
ment Is 0,100 tons.
BEITETJ CIUUSEKS.
Then there are six powerful belted
cruisers of about 7,000 tons each the
Vlscaya, which bus just made a visit
to mhv ion: naruor; tlie initinta Ma
ria Theresa, the Almlrante Oquendo,
the Cataluna. the Cardinal Clsneros
and the Princess do Asturlas. These
armored crulers are built of steel,
with double bottoms and bulkheads.
Knch Is 340 feet long, with a Rreatest
breadth of beam at C5 feet and a mean
lrniiKlit of water of 22 V4 feet. The ar
mament consists of two 11 -Inch rifles,
one forward and one aft, mounted In
barbette turrets and ten MHnch rapid
fire Rims, mounted In broadside, so that
two of them can be trained to tire
rlRht ahead and two astern. The sec
ondary battery comprises eight Nor
lenfeltH, eight Hotchklss and four mi
trailleuses, mill there are eight torpedo
tubes, Kach of these ciulsers Is pro
tected by an armor belt twelve Inches
tlilck and six feet broad, which ex
tends for a distance of 315 feet amid
ships, bolted to a heavy backing of six
Inches of teak wood. There is ntao a
protective- deck of steel covering the
whole ship, two Inches thick on the
Hat and three on the slopes. The bar
bettes for the heavy guns are ten Inch
es thick, and where the ammunition
tubes are above the protective deek
they are made of eight inches of ar
mor. On lur trial trip the Infanta
Maria Teresa made 20.24 knots, devel
oping 13,722 horse power.
These vessels were built In the Span
ish shipyards at Ferrol, Cadiz and
Harcelonu. Of Inter design are two
fine cruisers, both armored, which were
originally built in Italian shipyards.
These craft, which have only very
lately been ready for service, are nam
ed the Cluistobal Colon and the Pedro
ITArragonu. They are of C.0S0 tons
each, with armored belts and steel pro
jective decks. They each carry a bat
tery of two ten-Inch rlflcfl. fore and
aft. In armored bnrbettes; ten six-Inch
rapld-lli guns, besides the customary
number of machine guns and weapons
specially adapted for beating off tor
pedo craft.
Then there are two line unarmored
cruisers of 5,000 tons each, the l.epan
to nnil the Alfonso XIII. craft, close
ly resembling our own cruisers, like
the San Francisco and Philadelphia.
These vessels are of Ji.000 tons each and
carry main batteries of four 7.8-lnch
rllles and six 4.7-Inch quick-firing
. puns,
Spain has also three fairly good steel
rrulser.of abopt 3,000 tons each the
Alfonso XII., itelna Christina and He
1na Mercedes. These each carry six
C-lnch rllles.
TOIU'EDO CUAFT.
In torpedo craft she is strong. Be
sides the smaller torpedo boats for
coast unci harbor service she has sev
eral of the modern type of sen-going
destroyers, and a squadron of torpedo
gun boats, whose chief features are as

feet; draught, 7 feet; tonnage, 570;
speed, 20 knots; coal capacity, 125
tons; armament, two 4.7-lnch rnpld-flre
guns and four C-pounders. Tho holl
ersa distinctive feature of these ves
selsare four In number, of two dif
ferent tvpes, the forward pair being
locomotive and the after set cylin
drical. The ships can serve as ordi
nary gun boats In time of peace and as
fast torpedo boats In time of war, thus
gaining In general utility. The same
plnns have been followed In the build
ing duiinc the last year or so of an
Improved type of torpedo vessel of
about COO tons.
In addition to her modern craft Spain
has several obsolete Ironclads of small
tonnage, and two large nrmored frig
ates of about 7,500 tons each, the Nu
manciu and Vlttorla. These vessels are,
at least, a quarter of a century old,
and nlthoiiRh they have recently been
re-nnned and refitted, they would be
useful only for purposes of coast de
fence, rxcu: sam's showing.
As to the I'nlted States' new navy.
It should be remarked, tlrst, that the
theories of construction upon which we
have proceeded nrc essentially different
from those adopted by .Spain, nnd that,
therefore, an exact comparison of the
power of the two navies Is rather dif
ficult. Since the loss of the Maine the ef
fective lighting foice of our navy Is as
follow: We have four llrst-class ar
mored liattlcsblps the Oregon, the In
diana, the .Massachusetts nnd the
Iowa. The first three are sister ships
of 10,300 tons each, with nrmored belts,
whose maximum thickness is eighteen
Inches and with a sen speed of about
fifteen knots. Each carries a battery
of four tblrteen-iuch rllles In fifteen
Inch steel barbettes, hurling 1,100
pound projectiles; eight eight-inch
rllles, burling 250-pound projectlles.and
four six-inch rifles, with twenty-four
small rapid-fire guns and four Gat-
HllRS.
The Oregon was niilt on tho Pacific
coast, where she is stationed, and
would probably not be withdrawn from
the western seaboard In tho event of
war with Spain.
The fourth llrst-class battleship Is the
Iowa, now with the North Atlantic
squadron. The Iowa Is of 11,500 tons,
with n sea speed of sixteen knots nnd
a free board forward of nineteen feet,
ns compared with the twelve-foot free
board of the vessels Just mentioned.
This will enable her to fight her Runs
In almost any sea. Her main battery
Is composed of four twelve-Inch and
eight eight-Inch rifles, with six four-
Inch rapid-lire guns. Her main bar
bettes are fifteen inches, nnd her water
line belt Is composed of fourteen Inches
of Harveylzed nickel steel. Her coal
capacity H 2,000 tons. This quartet of
sea-going armor-clads are Indisputably
among the most powerful vessels of
their class In the world. Their com
bination of armor protection nnd gun
powder Is unequalled In nny foreign
ship.
The second-class battleship Texas, of
0,300' tons, has two twelve-Inch and six
slx-lneh rapid-fire guns and ndequate
armor protection. She Is a seventeen
knot vessel, resembling the Maine In
ninny respects. Her two barbettes are
twelve Inches thick.
AUMOUED CKUISERS.
Next come our two nrmored cruisers:
The New York, or 8,150 tons displace
ment and 10,500 horse-power, has a
speed of twenty knots. Her barbettes
carry ten Inches of armor, her turrets
live and n half, and her sides four. Six
eight-Inch rllles and twelve four-Inch
rapid-fire guns make up her main bat
tery, and in the secondary are twelve
small rapid-lire guns and four Catlings.
She has a heavy steel protective deck.
The Brooklyn, of 9,150 tons and slight
ly higher speed, carries eight eight-Inch
rllles and twelve five-inch rapid-firing
Runs, sixteen small rapid-fire guns nnd
four Gatllngs. She has nearly thirty
per cent, more bunker capacity and
twenty per cent, more coal supply at
normal displacement than the New
York. Both thesefine craft are equipped
with every modern device for safety
and efllclency.
The third type of our armor clads
consists of the Puritan, Mlantonomoh,
Amphltrlte, Monadnock and Terror.flvo
Iron coast defence, double turretted
monitors. Tho Puritan, of 6,060 tons
nnd 12.4 knots speed, carries fourteen
Inches of armor on her sides and bar
bettes and eight Inches on her turrets,
while she has four twelve-Inch rllles
and six rapld-flre four-Inch guns In her
main battery, besides six small rapid
fire guns, four Hotchklss revolving
cannon and four Gatllngs.
The other four monitors are of 3,990
tons each. Tho Monadnock has the
highest speed, fourteen nnd one-half
knots, and the Miantonomoh has the
lowest, ten nnd one-half; the two oth
ers each have twelve knots. The Ter
ror and Mlantonomoh carry seven-Inch
armor on their sides and eleven and
one-hnlf on the turrets, and have each
four ten-Inch rllles The Amphltrlte
nnd Monadnock carry nine Inches on
the sides, eleven and one-halt on the
barbettes, seven and one-half on the
turrts, with four ten-Inch and two
rnpld I' re four-Inch guns. All four car
ry two Fix-pounder and two three
pounder rapld-flre guns In tho second
ary battery.

coast defence monitor Is the Monterey,
built of steel, having 4,133 tons dis
placement and thirteen knots speed.
She has thirteen Inches of armor on her
hides, fourteen Inches on her forward
nnd clever, nnd one-half on her after
borbette, nnd eight Inches on her for
ward and seven nnd one-half on her aft
turret. Her main battery consists of
two twelve-Inch and two ten-Inch
rllles, nnd she hns ten smnll rapid lire
guns and two Gatllngs.
Oim STEEL HAM.
A fourth typo of our coast defenders
Is represented by the ttoel ram Katah
dln, of 2.1S3 tons and seventeen knots
speed, carrying six Inches of armor on
her sides and dependent for her offen
sive power on her steel spur, but hav
ing a smnll defensive battery of four
slv-pounders.
The Monterey nnd Monadnock. like
the Oregon, arc stationed on the l'acl
tie. coast, and would hnve to be counted
out In the event of hostilities nlong the
Atlantic scnooard.
In tho matter of unarmored cruisers,
primarily designed ns commerce de
stroyers, this country Is far ahead of
Spain. "We have sixteen of these ves
sels, with the Bplendld 7,350-ton llyers,
Columbus nnd Minneapolis ut the head,
with batteries of one eight-inch, two
six-Inch nnd eight four-Inch rllles each.
The Olympla, of G.G00 tons, carries- four
eight-Inch rllles and ten five-Inch rnpld
fliing guns: tho 4,000 ton Baltimore has
four eight-Inch and six six-Inch rifles;
the Charleston, of 4.000 tons, has two
eight-Inch and six six-Inch rllles; the
San Francisco, Philadelphia nnd New
ark, of a little over 4,000 tons each,
carry twelve six-Inch rllles.
The Cincinnati and Hnlelgh, of 3,189
tons, and 19 knots speed, carry main
bntterles of one C-lnch and ten 5-Inch
rapld-llring guns. The 2,000-ton Mont
gomery, Mnrblehead and Detroit hnve
nine 5-Inch rnpld-flrlng guns each. The
Chicago, of 4,500 tons, when remodelled,
will cnrr.v fourteen guns of the same
type. Tho Boston nnd Atlanta, of 3,200
tons, have batteries of 2 8 and C 6-lnch
lines. Four or Ave of these cruisers,
Including tho Chicago, Atlanta and
Newark, are now dismantled and under
repairs, but In case of necessity work
In them could be pushed night and day,
and they could probably be made ready
for service before many weeks,
Several of our best unarmored crui
sers, the Olympla, Baltimore and Phil
adelphia, among the number, are on
the Pacific, but they could, of course,
be brought home If they were needed
here.
GUNBOArS.
Tho I'nlted States also has fifteen
unarmored gunboats, which, while, use
ful for cruising and general police pur
poses, can hardly be classed us fighting
craft. They are too slow to net as
torpedo vessels, their speed in most
cases not exceeding twelve or thirteen
knots, and their batteries of light r"-id-llrlng
guns are not strong civ
to make them formidable antagoiii-.s
for larger vessels. Spain has many
vessels of about the same class.
In the matter of toipedo boats the
United States Is at present Inferior to
Spain. We could, probably, put In ac
tive service about a dozen of these
ciaft within thirty days. If necessary,
but none of them are of the large sea
going type.
Briefly summing up the situation,
then, tl.'ls (ountry could make available
on the Atlantic coast ten armorclads In
opposition to Spain's ten assuming
that the Spaniards would take thr of
fensive, r-uir of these nrmorclnds arc
slew, double-turretted monitors, In
capable of going far to sea, but valuable
for defending seaports. They are, in
fact, floating batteries. Th.? ether six
armored vessels nre sca-golng. The
four battleships are greatly superior
to Spain's armored cruisers In fighting
power, but Inferior to them in speed;
while tho New York and Brooklyn may
be fairly considered slightly superior
all-around vessels to the Spanish' cruis
ers. Spain could only bring against us
some five or six unarmored cruisers,
to which we could readily oppose on
the Atlantic seaboard at least twice as
many vessels of the same class.
Taking the two navies as they stand,
and taking Into account also the proved
skill of merican seamen In gunnery,
it seems probable that, tho odds would
bo on our side. The loss of the Maine
at this luncture Is a serious blow, but
the government could readily replace
her If congress saw fit to do so by pur
chasing an armorclad In home foreign
ship yard.
It should be borne In mind that Spain
has little money or credit with which
to buy new vessels at the present
time. If wo should promptly add to
our fleet by purchase an armorclad
equivalent In fighting power to tho
Maine we should have a superiority
over the Spanish navy which would
be marked.
A vessel like the Iowa or Indiana
could quickly crush an armored cruis
er like tho Vlscaya under tho weight
of her gun fire. If the cruiser were In
a position where she was unable to
escape. Each of our big battleships
carries twelve armor-piercing guns of
large calibre, against the Vlscaya's two
11-Inch rllles. On the other hand, the
Vlzcaya and her sister cruisers with
their high speed of twenty knots could
readily get away from our fifteen or
slxteen-knot battleships. So the ques
tion as to which type in most valuable
In warfare must largely depend on the
estimate of the relative Importance of
speed as compared with practically Im
penetrable armor protection and tre
mendously heavy batteries, such ns
those which our big ships carry.
As regards tho crows "the man be
hind the gun" there Is no doubt that
the Yankee pallors are more formid
able fighters than the Dons, Spain has
never won laurels In naval combat
against men of northern climes.
flo Cot III Wooden Leg Ilnclc.
From Answers.
Tho mannger of a shop In Lewes stood
In tho doorway tho other day whun a man
with a wooden leg nnd a crulch caioo
along and said;
"I want you to do mo a favor. I want
to leave my leg with you for a few min
utes and go around to tho next street nnd
work a house for half n crown. I've an
Idea that tho folks nro very sympathetic.
If I go with one leg I'm sure of It."
"Very well," said the shopkeeper; "Just
Icavo your leg hero and I'll take euro of
It."
Tho wooden substitute was unstrapped
nnd handed over, and tho cripple t'sed
the crutch to help himself down tho nlley.
Five minutes later ho rang the door bell
of n houso In tho next street, to have It
opened by tho mnn he hud just seen.
"Wh-wha-whatl" ho gasped.
"Very sympathetic family lives here."
quietly replied the other, "You seem to
havo met with u nnd loss, and I'm unx
lous to help you. Here Is u wooden log
which may fit you."
Tho leg was handed over, Tho man eat
down on tho steps nnd strapped It on, and
as ho got up nnd stumped through tho
gate ho snld to himself:
"I've heard of coincidences ever since 1
was a youngster, but this Is thn first ono
that over hit with with both feet at
once!"
COMIHNICI) AC.tlXKT AMRItlCA.
Itensons Why ilia United Ktntci Is
Unpopular Abroad.
From tho Independent.
Of the fact there can bo in dou- .
every visitor, more than n mere hasty
traveler In Europe, will testify to tho
fact. It Is not true, wo think, of other
American countries, nt least to the
south of he. But Americans do not
travel much on their hemisphere, and
the Monroe doctrine has made us to bo
regarded as a kindly elder brother
who can be called on for help In the
last emergency. But In Europe we
probably havo not one cordial friend
nmrng the nations of Europe. Indeed,
wo tire much In tho position of Great
Britain, whose Isolation Is more "splen
did" than ngroeable. The causes of
this growing unpopularity would make
an Interesting study, and we note
some of them.
It Is easy to see wh'y wo are unpopu
lar In Spain. Spain Is unpopular with
us. We naturally sympathize, all of
us, with the Cubans f.truggHng for
their independence. But It Is a matter
of the lntenscst pride with the Span
iards to hold their choicest possession.
They know tho Cubans depmd on our
sympathy, that they smuggle military
stores from ou" coasts, and that our
government linn made It clear that we
cannot allow the cruel wronjr to the
Cubans nnd the Injury to our own In
terests to go on Indefinitely. Wo are
Intensely unpopular In Spain, and the
residences of our minister and consuls
have to be guarded against popular at
tack. AVo are not popular In France, not
withstanding the hereditary friendship.
For years there has been a large
American colony In Paris, but Its
members find it difficult to get any
entree Into French society. French
Idtals differ fiom ours as much ns
they do from the English. Besides, the
natural sympathy of Franco Is with Its
neighbor. Spain, which has large col
ony In Paris, and Spanish bonds are
held in Trance nnd would be almost
worthless If Cuba were to secure Inde
pendence. The French believe what
the Spaniards tell them, that tho Uni
ted Statoi Is hungering to annex Cuba.
Wo need not argue the Ill-will of
Germany; it is too plain to bo missed.
It Is caused partly by tho operation
nf our protective tariff and partly by
the loss to the I'nlted States of so
many German citizens and possible
soldiers. But still more the cause Is In
that which Is seen all through Europe,
the growth and prosperity of this
country, the development of Its manu
factures and commerce, which exclto
general apprehension. What Germany
feels Is what the Austrian premier, Go
luchowskl, stat tied us by proclaiming,
that tho twentieth century must, see
tho union of Europe against America,
to shut out American products and in
fluence. The yellow peril, from China,
Is not so much feared as the Ameri
can peril. This apprehension affects all
Furope, though' Just now most clearly
expressed In Germany and Austria.
But Italy feels It as well, although she
has her special grievance In the New
Orleans lynching case.
Of the groat powers there remain
Russia, which has no public opinion,
nnd Great Brltnln. President Wash
burn thinks that the mother country
remains our fileud. We trust this Is
so, certainly we nre her friend; but tho
Venezuela incident, and the charges
that our diplomatic correspondence
lacked courtesy, have cooled the feel
inss. O.VII THING TO UK HAD.
Tho merchant was puzzled and thought
ful. "That's a pretty hard proposition," ho
said to the young man. "As 1 understand
It you complain because your bat, your
coat, your overcoat, your Mst, your shirt,
your collar, our necktie, your slues,
your golf stockings and even your trous
ers are duplicated in tho wurdrobe of the
up-to-date girl uud you are anxious now
to get something that Is essentially and
unquestlontliy masculine."
"That's It," said tho young man. "1
should like to feel that 1 had discovered
homethlng In the clothing lino that per
tained exclusively to man."
"I don't think of anything of that sort
Just now," said the merchant, "and even
If 1 did, and fitted you out the chance"
uro that some woman would have It du
plicated Inside of twenty-four hours, un
less unless Just the thing! Strange I
never thought of It before! Just step
down to tho shoe department nnd I'll fit
you out with a pair of heavy calfskin
boots with three-Inch soles and cavalry
tops." Chicago Post.
There nre three periods In all life the
time of the bud, of the flower and of the
perfect fruit. It is thus that girlhood
emerges into womanhood and womanhood
into motherhood. Almost all of the ills
from which women suffer have their incep
tion in weakness and disease of the femi
nine organism, which bears the burdens of
wifehood and motherhood. These disor
ders. usually bepln with puberty, childbirth
or with the "turn of life." Thousands of
women suffer silently for years in this way.
rather than undergo the examinations ana
local treatment insisted upon by the major
ity of physicians. This is unnecessary.
An eminent and skillful specialist, Dr.
R. V. 1'ierce, for thirty years chief consult
ing physician to the Invalids' Hotel and
Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y., long
since discovered a wonderful medicine
that will cure all troubles of this nature
in the privacy of the home. This medi
cine is known as Dr, l'ierce's Favorite Pre.
scriptlou. It acts directly on the delicate
and ituporant organs that make wifehood
and motherhood possible. It makes them
strong, healthy and vigorous. It allays in
flammation, heals ulceration, soothes pain
and tones up the nerves. It banishes the
indispositions of the period of impending
maternity, and makes baby's advent easy
and almost painless. It transforms weak,
sickly, nervous invalids into happy, healthy
wives and mothers, All good medicine
dealers sell it, and no hvlcst dealer will
