The steamer, which Is to be c.[ steel, will register 8500 tons.

The new ( steamer will be fitted with twin-screw engines, V bo that, in the case of one breaking down she can be worked with the other. She will also V Lave a specie 'i arrangement of watertight longitudinal and transverse bulkheads, so as to make her practi tally unsinkible. She will be built to take her place as an armed cruiser, having all ' the Adrairalty requirements. It is confidently jxpcct'id that she will be ready to be placed on tho berth in time for next year's passenger traffic.
