4 NEW GERMAN TORPEDO BOAT.

The strength of the German navy hes
been increased by the launch at Stettin,
of another torpedo vessel called the
Uhlan. This is the second vessel of the
kind which Germany possesses, the
ZeItden having already been constructed
in England but the latter vessel is of a
different type from the Uhlan, the tor
pedo being discharged by mechanical
force from the mouth of cannon pro-
jecting from its bows. The Uhlan carries
Immediately under its bows a torpedo
which will explode within the vessel at
which it is directed, and the force of the
charge of dynamite which will be ex-
ploded by the. collision is calculated to
be sufficient to blow the other vessel to
pieces, though the torpedo itself is no

thorough chastisement of the savages.

DEATH OF SANTA 4NNI.

A great old man, whom the world
knows as Santa Anna, died in the city
of Mexico on the 2Sth ult. He was
born at Jalapa, in 1898, and first became
prominent in the war for Independence
in 1922, when he expelled the royalists
from Vera Cruz, and was appointed to
the command of that city. The same
year he was deposed by the self-pro-
claimed Emperor Iturbide, but young
Santa Anna raised the banner of the
republic in Vera Cruz. and a year later
comprised Iturbide's downfall. From
that time until old age compelled him
to retire from active pursuits, he was
the one conspicuous figure of Mexican
history.
He was leader in every revolution
or political intrigue, and at different
times ruled Mexico as president, dicta-

almost unbroken military successes until
In 1886, after stOrming the Alamo and
massacreing its heroic defenders, he was
routed at San Jacinto by the Texan
army under Sam Houston and taken
prisoner. The year 1877 found him pro-

Gen. Taylor and defeat at Buena Vista.
Gen. Scott defeated him again at Cerro
Gordo in the same year, and finally after
the disasters of Contreras, Cherubusco,
Molinos del Ray and the city of Mexico,
he was compelled to resign the executive
chair. The siege of Pueblo followed,
where Gen. Lane forced him to retire,
and in February 1st, 1913. conscious that
his cause was lost, Santa Anna obtained
permission to retire to Jamaica. He
was recalled in 1858, after years of wrang-

to Santa Anna as the one man who could
restore peace and control the factions
