The Hornets of the Fleet ofthe Mikado-The Secret of Their Great Effectiveness Against the Russians.

LoNnoN, Fab. 20, i904.-An interview

which a representative of the Pall Mall Gazette had yesterday with Mr. Newman

of Thnrneycrcfts, well known construc_ tors of torpedo boat destroyers, gives an interesting detail of the work performed by the "horneta of the Japanese fleet," as he called the destroyers.

“All their boats," he said, “were of the

most recents type," and he gave a list of aight destroyers supplied by his firm to Japan and every one of which was tak- ing an active part in the present hostili- ties, several of them being fpreaent at the attacks on Port Arthur.

“Are their boats of most recent types 7"

Mr. Newman was asked.

“To all intents and purposes yes," he said. “Take the Shlraknmo and Asashio, for example. They have each a length of 215 feet ii inches, a beam of 8 feet and 4 inches,and their draught is S feet 4 inches. They were designedifcr a speed of til,H2 knots, hut at their otiicial trials in this country they obtained 31,72 knots, with indicated hcraa power of over 700.

"Their armament consists of 0.75 Mill.

quick firing guns, mounted on s cunning tower, and 5,57 MM. quick firing guns on the main deck, four of which have widc training angles on the broadside, and one aft has a hroadslde and stern tire train- ing. Four Whitehead torpeloes are carried,

two of which urn stowed in tubes and two in a tank bolow the wator line. The amount of ammunition supplied tc A gun Ia the same as that supplied to the 30-knot English destroyers, while that for smaller guna is four times that assigned to the English boats.

“Their crew consists of tit) men and cific,

era, the former being bnrthed forward of thc machinery space, whiie the patty rind chief offici-rs are nbnft tliat space.

“Their boilers are protected by coal in

wing bunkers nnfi their engines arc of triple expansion type, of which there are two, as these boats have tvs in -wrcw's."

“Do we c\aggerni.e the danger te tic

stroyers in attacking an cnemy`s tlffct?"

"No: Ido not think that possible. The

danger is very great, hut everything possible is done to minimize it.. They iirc divided into water tight compartments und longitudinal buikheads run the whole length of the ship,

"There arc, at I hnvejust said two sets

of boilers und two acts of engines, and even ii' one compartment is flooded und one engine or boiler rendered useless, it would atlll he possible for a crippled bout to make good its escape. The greatest danger of cours# iles in the fact. that the range at which n torpt-,tio can he tiiucharg ed with rcrisnniiblc prospects of a hit ia only about half a mile, and that is wt-ll within thc range-. of cvcn the smallest. guns of either iiui.t.lc.»il\ip or <~rtil.~icr.
