I have just discovered that the HMS Baracouta was completed in 1890, so more or less identifies the 3rd Class in this photo as the HMS Baracouta.

I think that the Cruiser in Question is the HMS Baracouta which was built by 16/05/1889. This is also the only 3rd Class Cruiser built c.1890 as the next one (HMS Prosperine)was built by 05/12/1896.
