C, March 7.?Tho plans for tho three bin" battleships nu ::? ??: Izi .1 by the last naval appropriation bill, just passed, are being worked out. 'i ;i ? general features of the ships have been dellned, BUbjcct to the approval oil the Secretary. Tli- battleships will be a thousand tins larger than tho Maine and Mis? souri class, of a total displacement of i" V"i?i.'i'u' ni ii. in.^ them bv far tiie largest ships in tue American navy and about equal in dimensions to the best type of battleships now being constructed abroad under the new practice. Though larger than the Maine, the ships will be laid on al? most tho same lines, belltg only a Hi? ll'' greater in every dimension. They will carry four 12-inch guns in turrets. This calibre is an inch less than the guns carried by the Oregon, but by im? proved d< .-!(-n Ihej will bo ahn..st eQunl In penetrative power. The 8-lnch guns of the Oregon type, although they did Very effective work at Santiago and Manila, have been abandoned. But in? stead of eight-Inch guns, the new ships Will have no less than sixteen C-lnch calibre, all rapid lirers, and twenty ii 1 ounders. FASTER THAN THE OREGON. The speed of tho ships will bo IS knots, nil advance of two knots over the Oregon class, but Just equal to that if the new Maine. For protection UK i list the enemy's shot, the battle Bhlp? will have one belt of armor seven feel six inches broad, running clear around the water line, three feet six inches above and four feet below. Altogether there Is a notable absence of in .?. features in the designs of the battleships, Which fact, taken in con? nection with the small amount of pro? gress reported in the designs for the M.iiae class, may be an indication that our naval designers have very nearly approached the ideal battleship in their werk. As far as these particular ships are < mccrned, the fact that the Navy Department Is limited to $300 per ton in Die purchase of armor makes it .: I SSlblC to build them in the absence of further legislation, and the Depart? ment will be Obliged lo content itself With the mere preparation of detailed plan.-, during the coming summer. THE CRUISERS The six cruisers of tho iinnrmored typo provided for can, however, be built, as chief Constructor Hlchborn. has nlready been working out the de? signs up.ai lines approved by tin Hoard of Bureau Chiefs. l: is the purpose of tho Navy Depart? ment to place contracts for these ships ?'.t ib.- earliest possible moment, They represent n type of cruiser which would b,- of the greatest value* jusl now for bur foreign service. The plans . all for vessels of about 2,600 tons and the ships will be improved Marbl. heads, so to speak, being euo tons Inrgor than ships ?f that class, ami with better batteries and more coal capacity. A most imp.-riant, consideration is that they will he Bhcathctl with wood over the steel hull and fully coppered, en- j ablins1 them t?> keep the sens in tropical waters for many months without being under the necessity of seeking u dry dock. The battery will be made up of six 5-Inch guns for each ship. The cost Is to be considerably nu te than that of the Marblehead. which was $074,000, for the ninotmt allowed by Congress was 91,141,800 each. This difference is accounted for by the many Improve? ments made In the Mnrbli head's de? signs, a notable one being the use >>t water tube boilers, giving the use of spi ed and economy.

New York, March 7.?Gus Ruhlin, of Akron, O., defeated Jop Qoddard, of Australia, In the fifth round of what was to have been a twenty-round bout before the Lenox Athletic Club to? night. Roth men Stripped in excellent condition, but Dublin had the call tit the betting. This was certainly Justi? fied by his appearance, and he held his opponent cheaply. He evidently saw that Joe could not offset his rushes, and from the very -beginning forced the fighting. The Australian went down frequently with good cause, 'out toward the close of the contest he dropped without cause and was deservedly dis? qualified. Ruhlin was a two-to-one ^vorlte in the betting.
