ING LONO STRIDES TOWARD
PRESTIGE AT SEA BY IMPROVE
MENT OF NAVY.
LONDON', Knjrland, October 1 1. Tho
name "Drcadnnught" no longer stands
for the biggest and most formidable
thing in British battleships. The St.
Vincent, lnunched a few days ago at
Portsmouth, has a displacement of 19,
JSO tons, as against 17,000 of the
Dreadnought, and she surpasxps that
famous floating fortress in other ways.
She is to havij turbine engines, with a
speed of twenty-ono knots an hour; and
her armament is to surpass that of the
Dreadnnught, though exact figures are
sot made public by the Admiralty.
1 It is rather a singular coincidence
that on the same duy the Dreadnuught
lost its place us the biggest British
war-ship Great Britain also lost first
place fis the owner of tho biggest war
ship. Almost at the hour the Countess
iteauchamp christened tho St. Vincent
at Portsmouth, the battleship Minas
(Joraes, built by Armstrong, Whitworth
L Co. at Klswick for tho Brazilian gov
ernment, was launched, being christen
ed by Scnorn P. Regis de Oliveira, wife
of tho Brazilian minister to London.
The Milns (Joraes has undisputed
claim to being the greatest battleship
ever launched. Her dimensions are as
follows: Length, 500 feet; breadth,
H.I feet; displacement, 20,000 tons on
the normal draft of 25 feet; guaranteed
speed, '21 knots; bunker capacity, 2,000
tons. Provision a!to is made for tho
use of oil as fuel. The engines are of
tho ordinary reciprocuting type, the Bra
zilian government deeming them more
desirable for its purposes than turbines.
The armor is nine inches thick. The
armament will consist of twelve 12-inch
jjuns, twin mounted in six barbettes,
the arrangement admitting of tho firing
of eight of the big guns ahead or astern
and ten on either broadsido The sec
ondary battery will consist of twenty
two 4.7-inch guns, besides rapid fire
guns. The Minns Geracs is the first of
thrco great battleships ordered in Kng
land for the Brazilian government.
Tho 'building of such war vessels by
a secondary power and especially by
a South American power, has caused
no end of a sensation in Kuropean na
val circles. Tho world remembers how
reluctantly military and naval men -of
Kuropo admitted that tho United States
had grown to be a power they must
reckon with and now hero comes a
Latin-American republic building battle
ships bigger and more formidable than
any others aflont.
In Berlin, probably, the shock was
greatest, for Germany has never qui to
.abandoned 'hope of 'having iC grca't
colony In South America. She would
have had ono long ago, hud she beon in
a position to defy tho Monroe Doctrine
and the American navy which backs
that doctrino up. Because sh- has
never folt quite safe in defying tho
diction laid down by Monroe the Gor
man policy has been to wait until the
United States was involved in a great
war with some, other power, and then
to find some pretext for seizing South
American torritory. But if Brazil,
which is ambitious to dominate affairs
in South America, is going to build up
a navy of 20,000 ton battleships a new
obstacle is presented.
REV DECKER RETURNS.
Visited Country Between Mesa and tho
Government Wells and Grows
Enthusiastic Over It.
Kov. K. G. Decker of the First Meth
odist church returned yesterday from
the M. K. conference at Douglas. Whilo
absent from tho city Hcv. Decker via
ited Bisbce, Phoenix and Tcmpe, re
turning to Globe by stage through tho
Salt river valley.
"Tho Scenery between 'eMsa and
what nro known as tho government
wells is simply grand," said Mr. Deck
er last evening. "It is seeuery that
is excelled nowhere in the .southwest
save in the Grand Canyon. The road
for miles Is a mere nick blasted out
high up on the mountain side. Ono can
step to the edge of this granite road
bed and look down tho almost perpen
dicular mountain side two hundred feet
into a picturesque valley through which
a beautiful stream winds its way to
ward the H)bbiug Pacific. This road
and valley aro among Arizona's most
fascinating show places and with a
more dense population and a better ac
quaintance with the people will natural
ly become a haven for the tourist and
sight-seer.
"Don't forget to tell Silver Belt
readers that I will be doing business
again Sunday at the same old stand
'the little church around tho corner.' "
