THE NEW KEARSARGE.
Powerful American Battleships About to
be Built.
They Will Cost $5,000,000 Each, and
Will be tlie Most Destructive War
Vessels Afloat—Nothing Could Stand
Up Against Them—First Descrip
tion of These Formidable Vessels.
((Copyright by the United Press, 18U5.)
WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.—Within a
year after the famous frigate Kear
sarge was wrecked on Roncador Reef
Congress determined to perpetuate the
name by giving it to the most powerful
defender of American rights that could
be designed by our naval constructors,
and by its Act of March 2, 1895, auth
orized two great armored battleships,
to ultimately cost, complete, about £0,
--000,000 each, and to be invulnerable
against the heaviest sea-going fighters
oi any foreign navy. The specific pro
vision that one of these vessels should
be christened Kearsarge made an ex
ception to the law stipulating that ships
of this class should be named for States
of the Union, and Congress alone had
power to modify this requirement. As
no suggestion was made in the case of
the sister ship, the suggestion has been
made that she be called after Secre
tary Herbert's native State, the other
sections of the country having been re
irembered in the Oregon, Indiana,
Massachusetts and lowa. This ques
tion will not be pressed until the
launching time comes—about two years
hence —and in the meantime, in accord
ance with the usual custom of the Navy
Department, the vessels will be offi
cially known as battleships No. 5 and
Ko. G. Legislative authority also de
clared that one of the vessels should be
built on the Pacific Coast, unless rea
sonable bids could not be secured from
that locality, and the limit of cost, ex
clusive of armament, was fixed at £4,
--000,000.
These being the first great warships
designed under the present Administra
tion, it was resolved that no effort ;
should be spared to make them, with
out question, the highest types of their
class: and for the past six months lively
controversies have raged in the Navy
Department over their smallest details,
every .portion of the designs having
been* exhaustively discussed by experts.
and every advantage of experience
gained from other battleships con
structed both at home and abroad hav
ing been fully utilized.
One essential requisite laid down by
Secretary Herbert was that these ves
sels should draw less water when fully
laden than any other first-class battle- i
Bhip, either in this country or abroad, j
The largest foreign battle-ships, when
ready for sea duty, draw in the neigh
b< rhood of twenty-eight feet of water.
Our existing battle-ships, while draw
ing twenty-four feet at normal dis
piace-ment, owing to the settling by the
stern due to increased weight, really
draw about twenty-seven feet. Battle
ships 5 and ♦> have been designed to
draw but twenty-five feet, with 1,200
tons- of coals and all stores and ammu- j
nition on board. This will enable them j
to i each all the principal navy yards
and ports of the country even when
fully laden, and will make their dock-
Ing less difficult than that of the other
American battle-ships.
The question of the caliber ami dispo
sition of the large guns gave rise to
more discussion than any other ques
tion in connection with these vessels.
Chief Constructor Hichborn, who is re
sponsible for all designs under the new
: the Navy Department, held ,

. gns and builas the guns. The
constructor advocated that the
: -t tuns should be twelve li
, : . carried in two tur
; and that eight-inch guns should
b<- carried in four turrets, making six
turrets in all. The Chief of Ordnance
I the novel schena • of two
double-decked turrets on each ship, in
which were to !>•■
mounted two 13-inch guns, and in the
upper part two 8-inch guns, making the
heavier battery consist of fnur 13-inch
and four 8-inch in two turrets. The
department, upon the majority vote of
tl • Council of Bureau Chiefs, finally
B<lopted this plan, and the K'.-inch and
b guns will accordingly be
rr.ounted in double turrets, one rigidly
Buperposed on the other.
These gun positions will be elliptical
in section, with major axes in the lin-
cf tire, and will have complete armor
protection from a distance of foi
below the water line to the top of the
6-inch turrets. This armor, as well
as all arm^r used <>n these v< ssels, will
b< solid nickel-steel. Harveyized. Tht'
lower part of the protection, the bo
called barbettes, as well as the 13-inch
turrets, will have armor fifteen inches
thick, except Immediately in front,
where it will b* 1 increased to seventeen
Inches. The armor protecting the
8-inch guns will be nine inches heavier
■There the guns protrude.
In addition to these heavy guns, a
battery of fourteen 5-inch rapid-lire
guns will be mounted on the main deck
between the turrets and will be pi
«d by continuous armor six inches thick,

cellulose, recently tested with such
satisfactory results, will be distributed

region of the water line between the
coal bunkers and the ship's outei
skin. The conning tower armor is t'
be ten inches thick, with a tube seven
Inches thi'k leading ■'.own to the arirv.r
deck for the protection of voice
telegraph, steering rods, etc.
Throughout the vessel the use of
w tod is reduced to a minimum, the
stateroom bulkheads being made of
st< el. i ivered with cork sheathing.
Every attention is given to lighting,
heating, draining and ventilating the
vessel in the most approved and mod
ern manner, three distin. ■: electric
lighting plants being Installed, each
furnishing 100 amperes of curi
eighty volts. All wood material of
■very description is to be treated by
electric fireproofing process. As these
ships are intended for duty as flag
ships, accommodations are made for
a complement of 520 persons, officers,
seamen and marines. They may carry
provisions and small stores for a three
months' stay at sea, summer and
winter clothing in sufficient quantity
for a year's service, and, besides the
distilling apparatus capacity, the tanK
holds a supply of fresh water to last
fifteen days.
The Kearsarge and her sister ship will
be driven by two sets of triple-expan
sion engines, in separate compartments,
actuating twin screws, each screw being
propelled by direct-acting engines hav
ing cylinders of 3314 inches, 51 inches
and 78 inches diamefer, with a common
stroke of 48 inches, indicating, together
with the engines for air and circulating
pumps, a collective horse-power of 10,
--000, when making about 120 revolu
tions a minute. Five boilers, two
double-ended and two single, in four
water-tight compartments, will gener
ate the necessary steam at a pressure
of 180 pounds to the square inch. There
will be no speed premiums, a penalty of
$10,000 a knot being imposed for failure
to reach the contract speed of sixteen
knots for four consecutive hours. If the
speed falls below fifteen knots, which is
highly improbable, the vessel may, in
the President's discretion, be rejected
altogether.
The main features of the Kearsarge's
design involve the following dimen
sions:
Length of load water line, 3GS feet.
Beam, extreme, 72 feet 2.5 inches.
Freeboard, forward. 14 feet 3 inches.
Freeboard, aft, 12 feet 3 inches.
Mean draft, with 410 tons of coal, 23
feet (5 inches.
Corresponding displacement, 11,500
tons.
Speed, per hour, 16 knots.
Indicated horse-power. 10,000.
Total coal supply, loose stowage, 1,210
tons.
Torpedo tubes, two each broadside,
one in stem.
To serve the batteries, 481 ton of am
munition will be habitually carried on
each ship, distributed as follows:
Thirteen-inch breech-loading rifles,
200 rounds.
Kight-inch breech-loading rifles, 500
rounds.
Five-inch rapid-fire rifles, 3,500
rounds.
Six-pounder rapid-fire rifles, 10,000
rounds.
One-pounder rapid-fire rifles, 24,000
rounds.
h magazine is intended to contain
208 000 rounds of 45 caliber cartridges,
to be fed into the insatiable maws of
the four Gatlings, each capable of dis
charging 1,500 shots a minute; 109,000
rounds of .236 caliber nickeled pellets
for the repeating rifles with which Jack
Tar and the marines will shortly be
equipped, and 88,000 rounds of 38 cali
ber ball cartridges for the self-cocking
long naval revolvers to be useful in
hoarding an enemy. Eight Whitehead
torpedoes will ordinarily be stored
ready for launching, and for landing
purposes a mounted regulation field
pun has not been omitted. It is conserv
atively estimated that the Kearsarge,
in commission, will have sufficient am-
Iftion aboard to kill or disable over
llion persons, and that she will be
to fire it all away within five
s—the calculated duration limit of
rce fight afloat,
cry comparison of these ships with
foreign battleship, built or build
in c:. is clearly favorable to the Ameri
can design. The United States ship?
will carry heavier guns and more of
and heavier armor, more widely
ut-il and protecting more thor
■ iLchly the vitals of the ship and gun
. r» w. While their normal speed of
en knots will be less on paper than
■if some foreign battleships, it is
• ble that it will be obtained with a
very moderate forced draft for a per
iodof four hours and without unduly
pushing the engines, so that at any
iin:- this velocity can be duplicated by
cur vessels, foreign battleships notori
'•n~ly never again approaching their
e-n easured mile trial speeds. The
1 States has never fallen into
error with its battleships, but in
has required that the maxi
'■ontract speed should be obtained
p conditions which could be re
at any time upon a well
drilled ship. As illustrative of this
the Indiana, upon her recent of
•iial run, although she had b •■>-: i
ear, and presuma
it half a knot through the rough
: h< r bottom, due t-. accumulated
marine growth, stiil averaged a l."> 1-2
knot rate four hours, the contract rt
•;;-nt being fifteen only. The [n
■. m;>y prove to be really 16
--bips Nos. 5 and
<5, with about the same extreme speed,
Ldapted to maneuver in company
with them.
The Kearsarge, when using as bases
of action ports having not more than 'Si
if water at their entrances, will be
■ 1 to 410 tons of coal, which will
I her to cruise 1,350 nautical miles
IM-knot rate, or L'.imn miles at 10
knots per hour. When operating from
■ -water harbor, however, her bun
uom is so ample that 1,210 tons can
ipidly stored in her. it being pos
! sible to dump that amount with the
is.- into the bunkers without
iiing or handling, and with this
amount, for all ordinary contingencies,

Perhaps the must novel feature of
vessels, and the one which is dis
tly In advance <.f any battle-ships
in the world, is the unprecedented for-
I midable secondary battery of fourteen
5-inch rapid-fire rifies, incased behind
the protection of five inches of the
armor. Th<- 5-inch gun is the lai
caliber that can be fired with extreme
rapidity, and the protection given these
guns Is such that it could be pene
trated by but f^w of the weapons with
which any possible opponent is armed.
rience In the recent war between
j China and Japan clearly Indicated the
r of rapid-fire eruns and

MKS. R. AUSTIN, ONE OF NATURE'S
noble women, who is now engaged in taking
care of the children at the Orphans' Asylum,
Eighteenth and X streets, has this to say :
"It wus at least twelve years ago that ray
trouble began. It came from colds. My head ;
wasatlii'Bl principally aH'cc.ed. There were ;
severe pams across my forehead over my eyes, j
often causing me pains in the eyeballs. My
eyes would become wealt and watery. My
nostrilß would at times discharge a watery
matter, and at other tirueß uecouie cio^ged up,
so that I could scarcely breathe through them.
Constant ringiu^ and roaring noises in my
ears distressed and annoyed mo and made me
fear that my hearing was becoming Impaired.
The mucous from my head would drop back
into my throat and keep me constantly hawk
ing and gasrging and raising.
"Gradually the eattarrh, wtjich lirst affected
simply my head and throat, extended until
my whole system ni undermined. It was
Catarrh of the Head, Throat and Stomach, I
believe they called it, but my lungs and heart
seemed to be involved also; stiarp, shooting
pains would take me in the chest, running
through to the shoulder blades. My heart
would beat r.ard ana fast, and this would be
followed by a slow, irregular beating uuJ a
sensation ot faintnea-i or dizziness.
MRS. R. AUSTIN.
"The least exertion would put me all out of
breath. I hail difficulty in setting air enough
in'o my lungs. My breathing was labored.
It seemed as if I was drawing the air through
a sponge, and there would bet a wheezing,
Whistling kind of sound with my breathing.
"1 had little appetite, my stomach was weak
and what tood I managed to eat would lay
like lead upon it. There whuld be a feeling of
distress and nausea after eating. My sleep
was ritful and broken. At last tiie disease
seemed to center in my throat and became so
Bevere that I lost ali hopeof recovery.
"In faot, I was a broken down woman when
three months ago I went to the Neagle Med
ical Institute. I liaJ trind many doctors and
all sorts of patent, medicines without getting
relief. I could bardly v.;ki;t I was bo vrealcand

Neagie and associates have done for me.
They have restored my health. I eat well,
