THE EXPANSION OF TRE
JAPANESE NAVY..
|
According to the Mainichi Shimbux, the Naval Expansion programame of the last Cabloet has been modified by the present Ministry in so far as the first-class cruisera ava concerned. The Ito Cabinet's idea was to have two first-class cruisers built in the first period and two fo the second period, the ships to be of 7,500 tons die placement, and protected only slightly below the water line has now been determined to increase the number of these vessels to six and tested below the water line as well as above, their size to g,coo tess, and to have them pro- Such is the Mainich's assertion, If these pleos be carried out, the Japanese Navy will include Hae-of-battle ships, of 14.000 00 each. six first-class craisers of 9,000 tons exch, lour approximately, besides the Fuit and the Yashima. There has been some ink lately of the number of armour-clads for the two periods belog reduced from four to three, but we con find no corfirmation of the report. The Cabinet's tendency is 19 destly in the other direction, The Mainichi sscribes the change in the number and denign of the crafsers to the fact that affairs in the East do not look as tranquil as could be desired, expecially in the direction of Korea and Chios, and that, consequently, the strength of the Navy, as contemplated by the Ito Cabinet, does not appear sufficient, The additional protection to be given to the cruisers is ascribed by our contemporary to the use of shells contain." log high explosives, which have now come into vogne, and are likely to be terribly destructive,
