Italy haa found It exceed ingly profitable to build Garibaldi and Vani.s In Ms und panel them on" at ainctiy retail prices. The nml was launched at Hcstu I'oneuto dot k yard May X. KC. and named Oulseppe CJart- baldl. A aiaier ship to the Yarn was laiim hetl atsiut the same time. Both these vessels were sold to Argentine In Ka and renamed respectively Garibaldi ami San Martin, the former bringing; the enormous price of li7.5on franca. Italy Immediately laid down two more Identical ships with the same names and launched them by the latter part of lsjai. They w.re snapped qp hy Spain and renamed resiiectively Cristobal Colon and Pedro tl'Aragua. the former being now con sidered the finest cruiser belonging to Spain. whi!e the latter Is still uncom pleted at Cad la. It was the Cristobal Colon that was selected to convoy the torpedo flotilla to this country, but 'at the last moment It was found that the Scotch engineers would not come and the Spanish engineers were not sufficiently familiar with the machinery. In fact the Spanish engineers could not get the ship under full steam power at all. As soon ns Italy disposed of the second set of duplicates another Garibaldi was laid down at Sestu Poneute and a third Yarn at Leghorn, to be completed In the latter part of lSifi. The former vessel was launched on September 2."th last, and by extra work has been brought to a condition which gives promise of com pletion the last of August. The Vnlted States concluded It would not need the ship the last of August or even a month taiuer. .-.aval omcers did not want to purchase the Albany because she w-us uncompleted, but Hruxll declined to sell the New Orleans without the Albany, and as the New Orleans was ready and needed, both ships were taken.
