UNCLE SB'S IB' Nffl
Is More Formidable in Ships and
Armament Than That of Spain.
WE ARE FIFTH IN SUE ON THE SEfl
We have Eleven Armor-Clads in North At
lantic and Gulf Waters —Fu'l List of
Our Fighting Monsters.
'Pho condition.capacity, needs
and future of the United States
navy are questions which are of
grave importance. A resume
will give the reader a clear con
ception.
The withdrawal of ships from
the reserve and the hurrying
forward of those under repair
have now put in readiness for
any call by far the most power
ful modern navy ever under the
American &ag.
To begin with, there are in
North Atlantic and Gulf waters
alone 11 armorclads. The battle
ship, lowa, of 11,410 tons, with
14 inches of armor on her sides
and 15 on her turrets,and mount
ing four 12-inch, eight 8 inch
and six 4-inch guns, with 28
smaller pieces, heads the list in
size.
TWO BIG BATTLE-SHIPS.
Next come tb.e still more pow
erful battle-ships Indiana and
the Massachusetts, of 10,288
tons, 18-inch armor on the sides
and 17-inch on the barbettes,
carrying four 13-inch, eight 8-
inch and four 6-inch guns, with
30 secondary pieces. Then there
is the T exas, 6315 ton®, with 12
inch armor on sides and turrets,
carrying 2 12-inch and six 6-inch
guns, and 24 smaller pieces.
Our armed cruisers are the
Brooklyn, of 9271 tons and a
speed of 21.9 knots, with s|-inch
turret and 3-inch side armor,
carrying eight 0-inch, 12 5-inch
and 20 smaller guns ; and the
New York of 8200 tons, 12 knots
turret, and 4-inch side
armor carrying 6 9-inch, 12 4-
inch and 16 smaller guns.
AS TO MONITORS.
The monitors are the Puritan
of 6000 tons, with 14-inch ar
mor, carrying four 12 inch, six
4-inch, and 12 smaller guns ;the
Amphitrite, the Terror and the
Miantomoh, of 3980 tons each,
carrying 11| inch barbette or
turret armor and an average of
7-inch side armor, with four 10-
inch and eight secondary guns,
the Amphitrite carrying in ad
dition two 4-inch guns. Finally,
there is the ram Katahdin, of
2155 tons, carrying four 6-poun
ders, but relying on her formid
able underwater break as her
aggressive weapon. The total is
three battleships of the first class
and one of the second class, four
monitors, two armored cruisers
and a ram.
UN ARMORED VESSELS .
The unarmored vessels in A'lan
tic waters include the Columbia
and the Minneapolis, of 7375 tons
with nine main battery guns, the
Cincinnati, 3213 tons, with 11
-'uch guns, the Detroit, Marble-l
head and Montgomery, of 2089
tons, the two former carrying nine
iui sa id the Montgomeiy 10.
The Lancaster, 3250 tons, is wood
en, but has a good modern bat
tery . The gunboats, including
training ships, are the Wilming
ton, 1392 tons and eight guns, the
Nashville, 1371 tons and eight
vims, the Annapolis, Vicksburg
an I Newport, 1000 tons and six
guns, their sister ship, the Prince
ton. which is to be launched this
month, the Castine. 1177 to.is and
eight guns, the pneumatic gunboat
Vesuvians and the dispatch boa's
Dolphin, 14SG tons, and Fern.
THE TORPEDO FLEET.
The Machias, a sister of the
Cas'ir.e, is on the way from Fun
chal to Norfolk. Work is huriying
on the Chicago, 450 G tons, and
the Atlanta. 3000. The Torpeco
fleet is already noticeable includ
ing Ericesson, Por
ter, Dupont, Foot Rodgers, Win
slow Talbot Gwin M ickenzi ,McKee
and Stiletto. In this list are some
not. yet in commission but none
the less certainly to be counted up
on while several others are not
far from completion.
The foregoing are ships now in
North Atlantic and gulf waters.
The Pacific squadron includes
three iron clads, of which tbe
Oregon, a sister of the Indiana, is
a first class battleship, while the
monitor Monterey, 4084 tons,
carries 13 meh barbette and side
armor and two 12 inch, two 10
inch and 12 smaller guns, and the
Monadnock is a sister of the
Amphitrite. The unarmored ship a
now in commission include the
Baltimore, of 4413 tons, and four
8 inch and six 6 inch main bat'ery
guns and the gunboats Benning
ton 1710 tons and six 6 inch guns
and the W 'eeling and Marietta
1000 tons and six 4 inch guns,
IN ASIATIC WATERS.
There are also useful old time
ships like the Adams, Alert and
Mohican, and there are more
modern ones under repair. On
’he Asiatic station. Commodore-
Dewey has the flagship Olympia
of 5870 tons and tour 8-inch, 10
5-incb and 24 smaller guns, the
Raleigh, a sister ship of the Cin
cinnati the 1 , Boston. of 3000 tons
and two 8-inch, six
smaller guns the Concord, a sis
ter ship of the Bennington, and
the petreal, a little gunboat of
892 tons and four G inch and sev
en smaller guns, besides the old
Monocacy. On the European sta
tion are the San Fransisco, 4098
tons and 12 5 inch gnus, the
Helena a sister ship of the Wil
mington, and the Bancroft, 976
tons and four 4-mch gut s.
CRUISING VESSELS
The array is not even yet com
plete. There must still be added
as vailable at dates in the near
future the cruisers Charleston
3730 tons and eight main battery
guns, the Newark, 4098 tons and
12 guns, the Philadelphia, 4324
tons and 12 guns and the York
town a sister ship of the Benning
ton. There are also several old
style cruising vessels like the
Essex and the Alliance, while
some powerful navy tugs could be
made useful.
KEAR3ARGE AND KENTUCKY
Such is our available naval force
which each day increases by hur
rying forward the st ips fitting out
!or under repair and the torpedo
boats bu'lding. In this resume
are nrt included the Kearsargp
and the Kentuckey because these
battle-ships to be lauehed this
month, will still be a long time
in completing. But the regular
navy could be largely reinforced
from the mercantile steam marine.
As it stands, however, it is more
than a match for Spain’s besides
having the incomparable advan
tage of a base on the Cuban side
of the Atlantic. I
