ENGLISH WAR VESSELS.
The Euglish Admirals made their reports on the recent manoeuvres of the British fleet, September 13. They find that the machinery of their best vessels and of the torpedo boats was constantly in need of repair, but the rate of speed attained fell far below what is considered necessary for eifective work. Almost all the fast cruisers failed to steam up to their nominal speed, or to maintain the maximum steam pressure when it was reached. In winding up their criticism upon the machinery trials the Admirals say, that in view of the failure of ordinary boilers at high steum pressures, experience and experiments as to the practical employment of tubular or coil high-pressure boilers will be followed with increased interest.
