A Boston Journal reporter Interviewed Rear Admlral Sampson on the train for Washington, Admiral -Sampson was reminded that Admiral Colomb, the English naval authority, had said that this war had taught no lessons In naval architecture ornayal strategy. "If lie said that," was the comment "ho does nob know what he Is talking about, for the war has taught a great many things. For one thing It has shown the necessity of making ships of war lircproof. lb won'b suffice merely to make the wood fireproof, In my opinion, for there are objections to the process, as It Involves unnecessary expense. Ships ought to bo built prac tically without woodwoak at all, and there Is no good reason why this can not. Ic done. ATler the way In which the woodwork of the Spanish ships raught lire, causing the destruction of the ships, there can be no question about, tiic importanccnf Lliischangc.'' 'The trouble with Colomb may be he has always been an advocate of torpedo boats as we used to hear be fore the. war," It was suggested. "Probably not. At the same lime, It must l.c remembered, that torpedo boats have never had a ically fair test. They have always been faulty In construction, necessary qual ities haying been sacrificed to speed. There Is no good reason why a tor pedo boatshould have a speed of more than 24 or 23 m'les an hour, but It has been thought so important to have them speedy that they have been made too light and In some in stances they are a little better than egg shells. "It won't do, either, to draw too hasty a conclusion from the way In which tho Gloucester, which was a converted yacht, did up the Furor and the Pluton. The Gloucester was hastily transformed Into a torpedo boat destroyer, It is true, but It Is not a small boat by any means." "How about the big guns? A great many people seem to think the guns Lof hlglnr caliber are nob of w much accounb lu babble." Mustered Out. A laruo number of; Oiegou troops will shortly bo mustered out of ser vice so that tlioy can return to Salem and got v oino of tluwo I5c meals 'at George- Hros.

Telephone 51 "The big guns will always be needed. There Is work which they can do and which Isout of tho question for the smaller calibers. It happened at San tiago that, the Slnchnguns and the rapid-lire guns did great execution, but this was because they could strike the Spaniards below the belt, as it were. When lb comes to pleiclng heavy aiinnr the high caliber guns mustbe brought Into action. "Then theie Is the question of smokeless powder. .Our ships oiiL'ht to bo .supplier wllli smokeless powder for several reasons. First, the most Important Is the great adyantaire in velocity. With ordinary powder the velocity is something like 2100, with smokeless powder It is nearly 2.500." Admiral Sampson expressed doubt as to whether it would beudvlslble to raise the Cristobal Colon. v He was afraid It was now to late to accom plish anything in that direction.
