TORPEDOE8 MU8T GO.
They Will Not Heretlter Dt Carried by United
States Cruisers.
Washington, Juno 21. Tho navy
department has concluded that tor
pedoes do not proporly bolong on
cruisers, and should not bo carried by
those vessels. This decision wan
reached with record to n number ot
cruisers which wero recently designed,
iiB well as othors which aro undo
courso of construction, and change
in tho original plans will bo mat'
accordingly. It is hold that tho a
pcrlonco of.sevoral cruisers during t'
Spanish war clearly demonstrated t!
finodvisability ot carrying these h
strumenu ol warlaro on suoh-lar,
ships. ,' ,
lii some Instaucep " tnrjK$do
werala'Wrrohcd through tubcjut?
above tho water lino, bow and, stern;
in othors tho tubes wore submerged.
On tho now cruisers roforrcd to'theso
tubes will bo omitted, except on those
of tho Maino class, Tho determina
tion to do uway with torpedoes on tho
cruisers will, of course, leave moro
room iiboard ship, which can bo put
to somo other use, It will also leavo
frco a certaiiuuiimbor of officers and
men assigned to torpedo duty, who
can bo used to better udvantago in
somo other way.
Perhaps ono of the most material
advantages gained, however, is this
extra space. Timo and again con
tractors who havo undertaken to build
cruisera have complained of tho lack
of spaco for tho ouguies which must
lm erected in tho ships. It is lol loved
that if tho spaco vacated by tho tor
pedoes can bo turned over to tho
engine rooms, tl is source ot annoy
ance will bo obviated, That, at loast,
is tho opinion of several largo con
tractors who aro now building cruisers
tor tho navy.
