THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND, NOVEMBER 11, 1900. MONITOR -fcAUNCHEBl Newport News. FIRST OF NEW SINGLt TURRETS .Site I Modeled After -the Style of tlie Old Monitors of the Brjca- - NEWPORT NEWS, Va., Nov. M. The monitor Arkansas was launched at tho shipyard today. The event was very suc cessfuL Miss Bobblt Newton Jones, tho daughter of the Governor of Arkansas, christened the-monltor as It started down the ways. In addition to Governor Jones and a party of Arkansas people, there were present Governor Tyler, of Virginia, a large party ot naval officers and a number of Invited guests. The monitor Arkansas Is the first of a type developed by the American Navy, tor not since the days pf the Civil War has a single-turreted monitor been con structed. The Arkansas will have as .slater ships the Florida and the "Wyom ing1, and a third, which was to have been the Connecticut still is unnamed. These are known as harbor defense moni tors, and while small, will have large accommodathms for crews for vessels of -their size, and so be valuable for the use and Instruction of the naval militia. The Arkansas will not cost more than $1,600,000 complete. The designs were prepared by Chief Constructor Hlchborn, and provide for a single turret of the Hlohborn type, on the center line forward, with -an Inclined top. and made .of steel .nine Inches hlck This turret will con tain two of the new high-power 12-Inch breech-loading rifles. Besides thiB -armament, the Arkansas will carry four four Inoh guns, three slx-pounders and lour one-pounders. A special effort was made to secure A light drait for uus lormiaaDie rype oi 'vessel so the Arkansas, when complete, will draw only 12 feet 6 Inches of water J .on a displacement of 323S toie, enabling 1 Jher to lip. into any harbor open tSUSSA golng shipping. Eleven Inches of steel ar mor protect the sides of the monitor above the water-line, and there will be a protecth e deck for the full length of the vessel, IV4 Inches. -thjek. .Twin-screw m gines will drive the monitor at a maxi mum speed of 11 knots, amply sufficient Tor a harbor defense vessel, and electric ity wiir be employed for turret-turning gears, ammunition hoist, ventilating ap paratus and all the secondary accommo dations. The wood In the vessel Is fire proof. Unlike the old. type of monitors, the Arkansas wjll have staterooms above the deck for the officers and crew, but the superstructure has been so designed that It will not affect the ship should the superstructure be -destroyed in action, thus retaining the virtues of -the monitor principle.

Roman Santiago, the last named, was charged with taking part in the forcible seizure of five natives; who were dragged from their homes at night, in the barrio of Namlpitan, and who were, with one" exception, found mutilated and "lifeless In a near-by field.

Bngland has a fresh grievance against the French. It Is the suppressipn'by French Government of the nejr edition of M. Marechal's text-books on history The books teem with malicious flings at Great Britain, especially as concern her t policies and campaigns in Asia, Where the British and French interests have clashed. The suppression was 'due to a Protest from Enrlish educator's, and it would be regarded as an evidence of kind. ness but for the fact that the, bfioks of Emtio Augon have been substitutes. The latter author is even more prejudiced 4salnst this country than Marech&l and his books are shamefully biased, says a foreign correspondent. Marechal's book teems with "recoras" of British brutality in India. Burraah, we read, was annexed because franco had concluded a treaty of commerce with her .King. "The English committed hor rible cruelties there," says M. Marcchal, though he has no condemnation for The bau'a xoastlngs, boiling and cru,clfyibgs of human beings. "The British ruje does noC appear firm ly established, either in Mantpur. or, in the rest of India. Many symptoms Indi cate that the natives remain hostile, and that ths education which they rceive increases their antipathy for their mas ters Instead of diminishing it," Is an other gem. , An account of the dealings qf England with Portugal in Southeastern Africa may be summed up in the words, "Might is right" The French author pays not the smallest attention to the strong claims which Britain utfdoubtedly pos sessed to the countrj, which had been paelfied and civilized- by the Afrloan Lakes Company.
