Australian Navy Squadron.
o (Per Press Association). Adelaide, This Day. Admiral Bridge, in the course of an interview said the Orlando would complete her commission at the end of 1897, and probably by a ship carrying new armament. Five of the ships and one survey vessel on the Australian station would be recom missioned, during the first half of next year. Most probably the relief crews for these ships would be sent out in more than one cruiser. He believed there were some new ships coming to the station, but if it were contemplated to replace the Ringarooma class by other cruisers he should regret it for no other class cruiser in the British navy had proved more satisfactory than the Ringarooma.
