MUTONS HAD MG SUBS READY To Meet Emergencies and to Sur pass Gcrmuiiy's Submarines. London, Jan. 16.-The admiralty to-day permitted to be made public the real story ol' the submarine, crui sers the British successfully con structed at tho timo the Germans were boasting of their super-subma rines. Tho British craft have two funnels and make 2 1 knots an hour on the surface under steam power. They carry from eight to ton torpedo tubes, two or three four-inch guns and also are equipped with internal combustion motors for surface cruis ing. The batteries for the undor boa power can bo charged from both the steam and combustion engines, and an ingenious scheine has been devised for quickly dismantling the funnels for the purpose of submerg ing. The vessels displace 2,000 tons on the surface and 2,700 tons sub merged. They aro ?MO feet long, have beams of 26 feet and a cruising uulius of 3,000 miles. They are designed to be oven a match for tor pedo boat destroyers in surface light ing. It is also known that the British have successfully built a submarine carrying a 12-Inch gun, although the details of this craft have not been made pu 1)1 ic. Tho now ideas embraced in the construction of the craft include the "cushioning" of the boat to with stand tho terrille concussion of the gun. This idea is represented un officially as having been successful. So far as is known, tho new craft was never employed against any enemy vessel. SOME STARTLING FACTS.
