WHY OUR NAVY WON. r It was Thoroughly Drilled In Every Direction. A IM hi a to Nsvsl I'ow.rn, IJotTOif, Aug, 14. Tho lloslon Jour Da! print an Interview given by Rear Admiral Hainpaon on tho train for Washington, ''ha reporter reminded Admiral Hampson that Admiral lorab, the lingllsh naval authority, had said that this war had taught no lesson in naval architecture or naval trategy, "t lio aitld that," woe Hampson'e comment, "ho doe nut know what be la talking about, for tho war baa teugbt a great many tiling. For one tll lift-, it baa ahown Urn necessity of making ship of war fireproof. It won't uflie merely to make the wood worW fireproof, la my opinion, for flier art objection to the procesa, a (I Involve unnecessary expense, bhlpe ought to ba built practically without woodwork at all, and there la no good reason why thla win not bit dona. After the way In which the woodwork of the fipanlah ship caught fire, causing tin destruction of tha aliips, there can be no question about the Importance 0 tbia change." "Tho trouble with Colomb," tha re Hrter suggested, "may ba that ba baa alway buen an advocate of torpedo boats, Wa are not likely to bear ao much about torpsdo bout aa wa used to bear biforo tho war," VAULTH OV TOIU'KDO llOATB. "I'robably not. At the aiime tlrna It must ba remembered that torpedo boat buva never bad a really fair test, They hava always been faulty in con atruetloni necessary qualities bava been sacrificed to xind. There Is no good reason why a torpedo boat suould buva a speed of mora than twenty-four or twenty-five wiles an hour, but It lias been thought ao Important to bava them speedy that they hava been in ad a too light and in soma instances they ara little belter than eggshells. The torpedo boat bns Its uses, but It ought to ba built according to the right ideas, "It won't do, either, to draw too hasty a contusion from tha way in which tha Gloucester, which was a converted yacht, did up tha Furor and tho l'luton. Tha Uloucester waa hast ily transformed Into a torpedo boat destroyer, it Is true, but it is not small boat by any means," "How about the big guns?" wai eaked. "Tha l-lnoli and tha rapid fir guns seem to hava dona most of tha execu tion, both at Manila and at Hantlago, and a great many people anern to think tha guns of higher caliber, tha 12-Inch and tha IJ Inch, ara not of ao much ao oountln battle. i IMO OUNS NOT OIWOLETK. "The big guns will always be need ad. There is work which they can do and which Is out of the question for the smaller calibers. It happened at Santiago that the 1-inch guns and the rapid tire guna did great execution, but thla waa because they could strike the Spaniard below the belt, aa it were. That is, the lightly armored portions of the 8p inlsh ship were ex posed to their fire. At Manila the Hpanlsh ships were not heavily arm ored at all. "When It comes to plerolng heavy armor, the high calibar guns must be brought into action. 1 ha armor plero Ing espocity of a gun Is almost exactly proportioned to Its caliber. I1 or in stance, an l-lnoh caliber can pierce Inch armor, a 11 Inch gun 1 it-inch amor and ao on. Yes, the big gum are needed. "Then there Is the question of smokeless powder. mr ships ought to be supplied with smkelt'ss powder for several reasons. First, and most Important, I the great advantage In Telocity, With ordinary powder the velocity Is aomelhiiig like 1,100 feet a eeooud; with a.itokolca powder It nearer I.tOO. Khlps usiug blaoU pow der are at a d sadvanlaire, too, from tha fact that when one gun has ben dbwlurgud, the gun next to It must wait unit! the smoke lias cleared away before the target can be sighted. The are among the reasons why amok! powder is ta be preferred W any other." TOO I.ATB lt)lt TIIK COLON. Admiral rUmitsm nra4 doubt whether It wott.d he edvUeb'.e to raise the Cristobal Colon.

NIC evening, in the neighborhood of well, no mutter how r ny yeara ego, four Uorman ofllcors were eat ing patu do fole grasand drinking chumpagne in the common hall of tho Million Rouge at hlrusbourg. Fdght or ten bot tles were empty; tho drinkers were rapidly becoming intoxlcatod. A silent, solemn lutoxloation, no turbu lence of gesture, no poll moll of words, only a dull torpor that ruminated and benumbed, Hnddenly one of tho drinkers, who was running a wandering eye over a morning Journal spread out before li 1 111, uttered a great shout of laughter. Hit companions turned their heads slowly, with a gesture of automatons moved by a slnirle spring. "Hnel seel" cried the laugher, point ing with his linger to tho top of a column. And bending forward they read tho following sufllclenlly s'ngu iar advertisement, as you may oe for yoursciven; The Prussian or llavarlan soldier who bus reason to bellsve himself tho athcr of a child born Wednesday, August 3, 1H , at tho chitlcau of M.

On mon h later, the comte do Monlro.av, his elbows on III chair arms, his head on his bands, regarded dati injf and leaping in the wide chimney the flickering fl.tmii of the vine twlge, Tint autumn was cold and (Ire was already needed.
