Full title: The "Newark" embodies in part the ideas of those who believe that a cruiser should have considerable auxiliary sail-power, both to economize her coal when she is not pressed, and also to add to her speed when the wind favors this during a chase. She is bark rigged and can spread 10,000 square ft. of canvas to augment her steaming speed of 19 knots an hour, derived from engines of 8,869 indicated horse-power. The "Newark "'s dimensions are: length, 310 ft., breadth, 49.2 ft.; mean draft 18.8 ft., which make her displacement 4,098 tons. She carries twelve 6-inch rifles in her main battery, and sixteen auxiliary rapid-fire guns of small caliber. In another illustration of this issue a comparison may be made between the "Newark" and the "Baltimore," a cruiser of the same size, but of different design.
