BRITISH NAVY.
THE 12IN GUN QUESTION.
Bj Telegraph I'rosa —Copyright. London", April 29. The heavy wire guns aboard <he battleships Albion and Glory, of the China squadron, have been replaced by others. The Naval and Military Record says that all the vessels of the Atlantic fleet have had their barbette guns changed. The Admiralty has decided to try Forbes' course and distance recorder on torpedo-boats and destroyers. Th« Albion wa? launched in 1893, and the Glory in 1899. They each carry four 12iu and twelr© 6in guns. As these vessels have been aloat so long there should be no significance in the fact that they have been given new guns.
