TTIE NAVAL REVIEW, FROM RIVERSIDE DRIVE, NEW YORK.
NAVIES OF THE WORLD.
The Squadrons of Many Na
tions on Parade.
REVIEW IN NEW YORK HARBOR.
Description of the Principal Vessels of the
United States, Great Britain, Spain,
France, Germany, Ital)', Russia and lira
*ll—President Cleveland to Pass Them
In Review—A Festival of Peace.
f
Unless all signs fall and all naval author
ities are at fault, New York city is soon to
witness the most unique naval display noted
in history. Not in size nor in magnificence
will it be unique. The Spanish Armada was
very much ltfrger. Ordinary naval reviews
of European fleets are more impressive in
the number and armament of the vessels.
Yet it will bo unique and interesting be
UWTED STATES FLAGSHIP PHILADELPHIA,
cause the picked vessels of many nations
will join in commemoration of the quodri
centennial of Columbus, and the president
of the great republic will pass in review the
warships of the world.
Jn a sense it will be a peace congress of
the world's navies. No such assemblage has
hitherto been, and it is much to be feared
that no such array of naval armaments
in friendly rivalry will soon be seen again.
The United States, Great Britain, possibly
Russia, and Spain, Italy, Brazil, Germany
and France will be represented in the order
named, so far as warships go, while the
United Netherlands, Argentine Republic,
Portugal, Denmark and others will be rep
resented by one, two or three ships each.
Taking it all in all, at least 60 of the grand
est warships in the world will arrive and
anchor in the lower bay on April 25, move 1
up and anchor in the Hudson on the 26th,
and on the 27th the great review will take
place. !
Of course the United States will lead in
place as well as in number of vessels, and
briefly told hero is the list, together with
the cost of each vessel that will participate:

BRITISH FLAGSHIP BLAKE.
In addition to these it is probable that
the new cruiser, the New York, which has
proved herself to be the fastest cruiser in
the world at her trial trip off Delaware
breakwater, will be ordered to join the
American forces.
And still this cold array of names and
figures gives but a faint idea of the solid
magnificence of the new American navy.
The reader who has not kept himself in
formed of our progress for the last 10 years
can have no idea of the rapidity with which
our reprouch among nations has been taken
away, and how near wo are to our old pre
eminence in the times when Decatur thun
dered against Algiers, and Hull, Lawrence
Porter and others boldly challenged tho
mistress of the seas. But a few figures on
this point will be given later.
Next in display to the United States will
come Great Britain, of course. She has in
these seas eight great warships, but only
five are certain to bo in this review. Of
these the greatest—and, as some English
authorities have maintained, the best in
the world, all things considered—is the fa
mous Blake. In tonnage she outranks all
United States ships. She is a protected
cruiser and is of 9,000 tons displacement.
She is 875 feet in length, with a beam of 65
feet. She floats in 26 feet of water and has
14,450-horsepower engines, capable of send
ing her along at a speed of 19.5 knots un
hour.
. JUer arqianicqt consists of two 0.2-Jnch I
22-ton and ten 6-fncli 0-ton Drcecliioaning
j rifles, which overshadows any of the arms
carried by the United States cruisers. She
carries a crew of 574 nien, and the arrange
ment of her engines is claimed to be scien
tifically perfect. She is propelled by twin
1 screws, driven by four distinct setsof triple
i expansion, inverted cylinder engines, placed
in four separate compartments, two sets
being coupled together on the port and star- !
board sides respectively for driving each
I screw. No damage to one set in action can |
interfere with the other, and similarly each
gun has its own independent supply, so
that the explosion of one can have no effect
on another. Imagine, if you can, this vast
floating fortress of tho sea vomiting over
; 600 pounds of solid metal from each side at
every shot and nearly as much more from '
bow and stern.
After the Blake the other British ships
seem small indeed. But among them is tho
armored cruiser Australia of 5,600 tons, n
handy and fast vessel, fitted with 14,450-
horsepower e -pnes and a battery of two
9-inch and te 6-inch breechloading rifles.
h>he has a bulkhead armor of 16 inches in
thickness and a side-armor of 10 inches;
also the Magicienne, which has 2,950 tons
displacement, a length of 265 feet and a
beam of 4:2 feet. She has 9,000 horsepower
and a speed m about 18 knots. Her main
battery consists of six 6-inch breechloading
rifles. The Tartar has a displacement of
1,770 tons. She is 225 feet long and has a
beam of 42 feet. With 9,000 horsepower
she steams about 17 knots an hour. Her
main battery consists of six 6-inch breech
loading rifles. With these come some
smaller vessels.
It will surprise most Americans to learn
that Spain claims naval pre-eminence # in
these waters next to Great Britain, and that
our old ally, France, has paid very little at
tention to this affair. Nevertheless France
has sent the Arethuse, llussard and Jean
Bart. The Arethuse is a wooden ship of
the old style, with a projecting ram. She
is 277 feet long, with 44 feet beam and 22
feet draft. She can steam under favorable
circumstances about 18 knots an hour. She
is a handsome looking vessel, but so far as
fighting is concerned is just as obsolete as
a flintlock rifle. The Hussard is another
old fashioned craft, but the Jeau Bart is :
comparatively modern and efficient.
This is as it should bo, for she is named 1
for the greatest naval genius France ever | 1
produced, a fisherman's son who fought his :
way up to the rank of an admiral, and of :
whom scores of amusing anecdotes are still 1
told by French sailors. One of them runs I
thus: lie hud the Prince de Conti as pas
senger and beat off an English attack so
that the prince congratulated him on their
escape from capture, whereupon ho replied
that there had been no danger at all of that
fate, as he had taken the precaution to send
his son to tho powder magazine with a
match, ready to blow up the ship as soon :
as he gave him the order. • 1
FRENCH FLAGSHIP ARETHUSE.
Spain sends the Reina ltegento (Queen
Regent), which was, or was thought to be,
the fastest efficient cruiser afloat, but that
honor is now claimed for the latest United
States cruiser New York. The Duke of
Veragua, sprung from a branch of the royal .
house of Spain, will command the Spanish 1
fleet, and the Heina Regentc is his flagship.
She is of S,OCX) tons displacement und is 318 j
feet in length. She draws 20 feet of water,
and with her 11,000-horsepower engines can
steam 20.7 knots an hour. She carries six
16-centi meter and as many 12-ce.ntimeter ;
breech loading rifles. j I
Next in size in tho Spanish contingent '
comes the Infanta Ysabel, a sloop gunbout 1
of 1,130 tons. She is 210 feet long and has
a beam of 82 feet. She can do her 14 knots
an hour and carries four 12-centimeter and
two 7-centimeter rifles. The Infanta Ysa
bel took part in the October Columbus
celebration in New York harbor under the
auspices of the municipal government.
Last In point of size of the Spanish vessels
comes the gunboat Nueva Espana.
Italy sends three protected cruisers, tho
Giovanni Bausan being the flagship. She
Ls 275 feet 7 inches in length and is of
8,068 tons displacement. She can whirl
along at 17 knots with her 0,500-horsepower
engines. She carries two 25-centimeter and
six 15-centimeter breechloading Armstrong
rifles. Hero companions are the Etna, 282 .
feet long and 3,530 tons displacement, and
tho Doguli, which is of 2,020 tons, is 250 feet
long and can do 19.60 knots an hour with
her 7,600-horsepowe.r engines. Sho has as a
main battery six 0-iuch breechloading Arm
strong rifles.
GERMAN IRONCLAD KAISEIIIN AUGUSTA.
So much for the great naval powers, or at
any rate those best represented in this dis
j play. But several others will be fairly well
repPeseiitod. Germany will send a protect- 1
!ed cruiser and a composite gunboat. The
rruiser is the Kaiscrin Augusta, which is of
6,062 tons displacement. She is 393 feet long
and can steam 20 knots an hour with her
12,000-horsepower engines. She has a main
battery of twelve 15-centimeter und eight
8.7-centimeter rifles. The Seliwalbe is a lit
tle composite gunboat of 1,300 tons and is
203 feet in length.
ITALIAN CRUISER GIOVANNI BAUSAN.
Brazil sends two vessels. Her flagship is
the turret battleship Aquidaban, a vessel
which formed one of the Brazilian squadron
which came to America two years ago, aft
er the fall of the Emperor Dom Pedro, to
announce the new republic. Brazil's other
vessel is the Jamanderi, a 270-foot-long pro
tected cruiser. The United Netherlands
send one vessel, the ironclad Van Speyk.
Tho Argentine Republic also sends one, the
Nueve de Julio. Portugal, Denmark, China
and Japan have also notified our govern
ment that they will be represented, but
have not signified the name and style of
their vessels. Altogether not less than 60
of the greatest warships in the world will
be present.
At the head of the line, as the fleet sweeps
up New York bay, will be the cruiser Phil
adelphia, flagship of Admiral Bancroft
Gherardi, who will bo director general of
the review. On tho 26th the fleet will move
up to the review anchorage on the Hudson
river, where small buoys, numbered, will
mark the anchorage of each ship. Tho an
chorage will extend from Thirty-fourth
street to Eighty-ninth street. During tho
afternoon of the 26th all final arrangements
will be completed und the last orders is
sued. At Ba. m. of the 27th all the vessels
will hoist colors and "dress ship" in unison.
At 10:30 a. m. President Cleveland will go
aboard the Dolphin at the Twentj'-fourtb
street landing, and the review will begin.
As the Dolphin moves off she will fire her
signal gun, and the Miantonomoh will
respond with one of her 10-inch guns. All
the yards will bo manned on all the vessels,
and tho Dolphin will move up through the
fleet. As sho comes even with each ship
in turn the order will be present arms,
sound four flourishes, officers and crew sa
i lute, and tho baud plays tho national air.
At the bust flourish begins a 21-gun salute.
After the Dolphin has passed up flag and
commanding officers will leave their ships
to pay their respects to the president on the
Dolphin when she anchors. Fifteen min
utes before the president lands from the
Dolphin a preparatory signal will be made
j from the ship, and as he leaves the ship
every vessel in the fleet will man yards or
j rail and Are a salute following tlto motion
iof the Dolphin. With the last gun the
j president's flag comes down, and the cere
-1 monies of the day are ended. In tho even
; ii:g there will be an exhibition of search
| lights from 8 to 8:30 and of Very and Ar
; dois' night signaling between 8:30 and 9.
Of course the entire space of the Hudson
! occupied by the parade will bo patrolled by
guardboats and traffic suspended for the
time. The three Spanish caravels (repro
j dactions of those Columbus came in), if
they arrive on time, will have a place of
honor. After the parade there will be many
entertainments of foreign officers by New
York clubs and much feasting and jollifi
cation among the sailors, ami then—all
hands off for the Chicago World's fuir and
"go as you please."
The Dolphin, on which the president will
pass tho fleet in review, is the dispatch boat
of what is called America's White Squad
ron, and will be used LISa dining ship by
Secretary of the Navy lhlury A. Herbert.
The armored cruiser New York was to have
been Admiral GherardiN flagship, but could
not be finished in time, so the honor goes to
the beloved old Philadelphia, first class
cruiser of 29 guns. In practical use at pros
put the admiral employs ns his flagship the
Baltimore, first class cruiser of 24 guns.
SPANISH WARSHIP INFANTA VSABEL.
The Russian vessels dqplgnated for this
parade are the General Admiral, of 4,604
1 tons and 285 feet long; the Dmitri Donskoi,
of 5,893 tons and 296 feet long, and tho
Ryrnlu, a small protected cruiser. All these
and perhaps others are to be commanded
by Vice Admiral Komakoff, and on his flag
ship will be the Grand Duke Alexis, whose
former visit to the United States was tho
event of the time.
On Denmark's flagship will be Prince
Wuldemar, son of the king of Denmark
and brother of the Princess of Wales and
czarina of Russia. He will be one of the
most prominent of the many distinguished
men coming to honor the memory of Co
lumbus and show their good will to tho
great republic. And at tliis point one is
tempted to indulgo in rhapsody as the
American heart swells with pride at the
nation's position. But LIS words art? want
ing to do just ice to the subject, it remains
but to wish the happiest results from the
great Festival of Peace. •

SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE.
[The following communication arrived too
late for publication on Thursday.]
ECKLKY, April 18,18JK3.
EDITOR TRIBUNE.— PIease allow me to reply
to Mary Ann and if there is a soft corner in
your heart I will rest assured that my uppcat
to you will not be ill vain, as you are well
aware that the pleasant answer or that it grave
her pleasure to answer the special correspon
dence from llobby, which appeared in Mon
day's issue. Yes, Bobby said it and he does not
deny it and now I will prove the assertion.
You will now understand by this answer to
you that your first item read like this: "The
next time you come out Bobby, ask your
mother for the loan of her shawl." Now you
are at liberty to compare it with your answer
on the 17th hist. It reads quite different. Now
compare it to your first item and sec if it does
not correspond word for word and letter for
letter. It does. Are you convinced now,
friend Mary Ann?
I return your speeks with thanks, and before
I am through you may find plenty use for
them. No, you do not proceed far, neither will
I, and I want now as you have compared both
items, the one I mention and your first, now i
eonvinco me where I made an untruthful j
statement, by your classic quotations if you
can, and in answer to your question of the :
first note I find the advice referred to given and i
do you not find advice there also?
Now I will, as I have answered your first
question, I ask you in a friendly manner to
try and practice the aforesaid doctrine which
you tried to make me swallow. I now refer to
the quotation of statin# another's truthfully,
and if I do not, 1 generally submit, or acknowl
edge my faults, and do not try to make it ap
pear after one week is past that another one
has made an untruthful statement by inserting
only half of an item.
So friend Mary you really thought I was rat
tled. Well now if you had only considered
your previous answer, as I have considered
my former answer, you would not be quite so
suspicious, Allow me to insert the following:
That if you thought to frighten Bobby you are
greatly mistaken, for he is no spring chichkcn
to be so easily bluffed, especially from you.
Now you accuse me of getting upon my dig
nity over an innocent little Item. Well you
answer me truthfully and inform me where I
mentioned that 1 was either offended or on my
dignity? My answer was in this manner: 1
mentioned that I hud no objections to the item
about the hat, but when she advises rue
about bringing my mother's shawl and takes
advantage of me by letting me know through
the public press I think my answer should l>e
in the same manner. Please put the specks on
if you find where I mentioned I was offended.
I will then be convinced that my eyes are get
ting very weuk.
Well, we are of a different opinion, are we?
Well thanks for the information, and you also
inform me that there are only a few like me. I
am pleased to know that, and you also let me
know that most people can take a joke. And
so can Bobby. Do you know why? Now do
not forget that we are of a different opinion,
and please remember that 1 want one word in
edgewise. Now I answer you did I not advise
you to keep a silent tongue? Yes, I am well
! aware of it. Now friend Mary do you know
- why that is where my reply to you comes from,
and I knew it was simply impossible.
Now I will tell you that my answer to you
was in a business manner, very brief, and to
the point, and allow me to explain to you thut
I was simply trying you with one (a Joke I
mean), or in other words your own sweet medi
cine, for if I am not mistaken I signed myself
"in friendship,"* which was intentionally or
acoidently ommitted, so you will see that L am
not responsible for that, and now may I sug
gest that you take a dose of It once in a lire
time and not be so ready to give Bobby such a
pleasing answer. So you also kindly inform
me thut your intentions are to never slight any
body. Well, I hope that such will bo the case.
Now friend Mary you no doubt have shown
the readers of the Tai HUNK your true character
to take advantage of me in such a manner,
which 1 am grieved at you for making such an
error. So you let ine know that you will not
II inch an inch, but will be on deck with our
letter as usual. Why do you give me such
warning? Did I tell you to stop writing your
letter? And you.advise me to not meddle with
you. Well Mary I also must refuse to take
your advice, for the simple reason I did not
ask it.
Now will you kindly insert or Inform me why
you make use of -'we" so often? I noticed that
there was at least one dozen in your answer to
ine, plus one "us." Am I to understand now
t hat you are not an individual, but the represen
tative of u corporation or a combination?
Please answer, if it is not too inquisitive, for if
you are as you write to me with so many
"we's" 1 believe the community which you
write up notes about is also of a different opin
ion.
Now if you frightened me so much I will
kindly let you know that you have got things
decidedly mixed, aud if 1 tease you too much
Mary I hope you will be more lenient with mo
in your next, for I do not wish to compete with
a corporation about such a trille. May I add
ttuotluft* remark. Why not change the title to
Wo, Us & Co.?
Once more friend Mary Ann, don't you think
by tiiis time that you were a penny wise and a
pound foolish, and if the readers of tho TIUHUNH
smiled at the Innocent little item that they will
now smile at your expense. They tliut smile
first smile well, but they that smile last smile
best. Once more, you said or mentioned that
tlie editor was responsible for your writing.
That 1 will not dispute and I wisli to lot you
know to err is but human, but to forgive is
divine. Hut as I forgive you 1 will now con
clude by wishing to you peace between Mary
Ann and your friend, IJOIIUY.
