Monfalcone type Small Cruiser Design for China

Just before WW1 China ordered from Austria-Hungary 4 cruisers of two types as a first step to acquire larger vessels for it's new navy (which it wanted since the early 1900's) One larger 4.900ton vessel and 3 smaller 1.800ton ones.

By 1913 after multiple discussions and agreements with China the Czech Skoda company (Which was the primary gun and armour producer for the Austro-Hungarian Armed Forces) together with CNT - Cantiere Navale Triestino (Trieste Naval Shipyard) in Monfalcone they offered a small cruiser design for China.
Now comes the weird part because sources differ for armament of these vessels!

In the books: Conway's All the World Fighting Ships 1906-1921, and Austro-Hungarian Warships of World War I by René Greger (Both are excellent books) as well as the 1978 issue of the magazine: Warships International states that these small cruisers would had been armed with 10x1 10cm and 4x1 47mm guns together with 2x1 45cm torpedo tubes.

While in the Polish magazine Okrety Wojenne (Warships) issue 1999/3 and in the Italian Magazine Storia Militare (Military History) issue 1997 March both states the armament of 2x2 15cm 8x1 7cm and 4x1 47mm Guns with 2x1 45cm torpedo tubes with a modified design replacing the twin 15cm turrets with 12cm ones and states there are no evidence of a design armed with 10cm guns.

But every sources agree with the small calibre armament, torpedo tubes and general dimensions of these designs though the magazines states 105/106m length while the books state 109,7m, I've used the latter.

According to the magazines, the first design with twin 15cm turrets the Chinese thought that the hulls of these vessels were not strong enough to carry such weapons, though the designers of the Monfalcone shipyard assured the Chinese the hull was strong enough, the Chinese asked for a revised design. CNT complied and created a modified design with 2 twin 12cm turrets replacing the 15cm ones as well as one less funnel with revised boiler arrangements and giving mixed oil and coal firing boilers for these cruisers. All 3 were laid down in the spring of 1914 and was substantially advanced in construction when the war started, but after that work was progressing very slowly because of reduced construction personnel and halted completely when Italy declared war on Austro-Hungary and subsequently captured the city, after the Austro-Hungarian troops recaptured the city these cruisers seen little damage. It is not known why the cruisers were not launched and evacuated at the start of the Italian war or why not the Italians used their hulls for themselves!
After the war the Skoda Company which was now in Czechoslovak hands tried to make negotiations with China to finish the ordered cruisers but by then China was not interested in them and they were scrapped in 1921.

None the less I've included the 2 variants from magazines and their 10cm armed versions from the books.
