SOME BRITISH NEWS. mum" - - opposite of nit!” BRITAIN GETTING Ill TRIM Strength of the Paella Fleets Bel-[l Doubled-While Can-sl- Is Strongly For-Iliad Against gnvnMoar--rerrMrte War Englnes. A despatch from Victoria, B. C..1 says r-Having made Esquimalt and Vie- toria Harbors practically impregnabie by the construction of a series of won- derful forts that are marvels of modern engineering skill, the British War Of- fice is now taking still another step in the direction of making Esquimalt one of the 'rtrongest--as it is one of the most important strategetie--points in the Empire, as usual with the British authorities, the plan has been kept a close secret, and it was only a day or SO ago that Victorians obtained an ink- ling of what is contemplated. This latest move is to practically double the efficiency of the North Pacific squa- dron, replacing each of the present fleet by a fighting ship of MUCH MORE MODERN TYPE. And at the same time bringing around one of the largest and best battleships to be used as a guardship and coast defense vessel in conjunction with the land fortifications. The reorganization of Admiral Pallisier's squadron is in accordance with a general plan lately decided upon to strengthen the naval) force of Britain at all the principle ata- tions throughout the world, and the operations here are understood to be for the special purpose of providing a reliable alternative route should the contingency arise of the Suez Canal be- ing closed by hostilities with any Euro- pean power. The present and contem- plated changes are, it is explained, not made with a view to menacing other nations, but with the intention of ‘guarding Canada's western shores, and so that on the Paeifie there may be a fleet that can co-operate effectively the North Atlantic fleet. if necessary. The British fleet on the North Atlantic is being PREPARING FOR A TERRIBLE STRUGGLE IN TEE EAST. ENORMOUSLY STRENGTHENED. Also to render effective concerted ac- tion possible, and the Canadian Pacific Railway will be.provided with protec- tion where great damage and delay might otherwise be caused by an active and intelligently directed enemy. The practice has been for the North At- lantic fleet to make its summer head- quarters at Halifax and to winter in the West Indies, while the North Pa- oifie squadron has in the past made Callao or Honolulu the winter head- quarters. The intention is for the fu-) ture to have two separate fleets on, the Eastern tseaboard--one at Halifax and the other at J amaica--and to make Es- Iquimalt headquarters all the year round of the ships in Pacific waters. The object is to have the Pacific .and Atlantic fleets under such conditions that they can eo-operate, and besides .this the South African fleet will be in a. position to act with the West In- than fleet it necessary. The Powerful or the Terrible. both enormous first- olass cruisers at, 14,200 tons, will he sent at once to Halifax, and there will be gathered together such a huge fleet of formidable fighting craft. as has not yet been seen in the waters of this continent. A battleship of similar Size and power will come to Esquimalt, and when the changes are complete fully FIVE THOUSAND MORE MEN _ Than now will be in the service under the Commander in Chief of this station. The present fleet at Esquimalt, with the exception of the flagship Imperi- euse, a. first-class armored tivin-serew cruiser of 8,400 tons, is in these days somewhat behind the times when corn- ty,'") with the type of vessels Britain as been turning out of late at a rate that has astonished the world. It now consists besides the flagship, of five vessels--. the Satellite, 9, third-class screw cruiser of 1,420 tom; the Idarus, ascrew sloop of 970 tons; the Wild Swan, screw sloop, 1,130 tons; the Phea- sant, screw gun-boat, 755 tons, and the Comus. a. third-class cruiser. 2,330 tons. THE FIRST MOVE Toward strengthening the fleet is al- ready publicly announced, and in a few weeks the Satellite will be relieved by a vessel three times her size-the 4,820- ton second-class screw cruiser Phaeton. Then at intervals of not more than three months each of the others will be replaced by steel vessels of the latest pattern, speedier, larger and more ef- fectively armed than those now com- posing the fleet. How many vessels are to be sent here has not been learned, but that the fleet, will be a thoroughly effective and modern one is assured. To complete the work at. this station three torpedo-boat destroyers are also to be attached to the flagship and three to the new guardship. Most.

The greatest interest attached to the recent steam trials of the British cruis- " Powerful. said to be the largest of her class in the world, and the first large British warship fitted with wa- ter tube boilers. During the course of a long cruise in the channel the maxi- mum power developed was 26,497 indi- cated horse-power, while the mean of four hours' running was 25,886 indi- cated horse-power, said to exceed that of any warship afloat, and only excell- ed by the two new Cunarders. In the first tests, thirty hours' steaming at 5,000 indicated horse-power, the cruiser did 14.34 knots, using four and a ihalt tons of coal an hour, and in the next test, thirty hours' steaming with 18,000 horse-power, she made twenty- one knots, with fifteen tons of coal an hour. The last test was eight hours' trial, with 26,000 indicated horse-power, under natural draught, which developed a speed of 22 1-2 knots. As the Powerful carries quite a heavy armament for acruiser and 8,000 tons of coal, the speed is consid- ered here to be remarkable, and as fully justifying the change to the wa- ter tube boilers. The Powerful, how- ever, has no side armour, although she has a protected deck of four inches maximum thickness on the slopes. She carries two 9.2 guns, twelve six-inch guns, sixteen twelve-pounders, and twelve throe-pounder quick-firing guns. The big guns are mounted on the tore- castle and poop in barbettes, the guns themselves being protected by a hood. The armoured deck is composed princury- ally of three thicknesses- of steel plat- ing, but at the edges, where it joins the side of the ship, two of the skins of plating are discontinued. Conse- guently the extreme edges of the deck, or a width of a foot or two, have only one skin of plating, which has been se- verely criticised as likely to (Expose the _ Vitals of the ship when rolling away ' from the enemy.
