Hermann, the adopted son of Undertaken
Hermann, committed suicide. Young Herr
mann's friends can assign no reason for his
suicide He has had a checkered experience
during the last two years, having been twice
before the Criminal Court on serious
charges. Mr.. Hermann succeeded in gain
ing him his liberty. and il is said he had
been leading a quiet life since. He assisted
Mr. Hermann in the business and was at
work the morning of the day he killed him.

No Doubt Whatever of the Spanish Marines Bravery Afloat
 or Ashore.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

Spain early attained a high reputa- ton for naval architecture and ship building, and nearly a hundred years before these subjects received attention in France Spanish vessels were built on such scientific principles as existed in those days But, as Napoleon re- marked when he heard of the battle of Trafalgar: "The Spaniards know how to build ships, but they do not seem to know how to keep them" and the numerous wrecks and frequent cap lures seemed to bear out Napoleon's assertion. To-day Spain has by no means an insignificant navy, but mere numbers, even with names as long as .'homeward- bound pendant" is no as surance of its utility, especially when coupled with lack of men properly qualified to handle the ships.
 Of the bravery of the Spaniard ashore or affoat there is no doubt whatever, but the battles on sea which are hence forth to be fought are widely different from those of 17S0 to 1S40. Naval tactics have changed with the substitution Of steam for sail, and boarding with the attendant hand-t -to-hand encounters will be extremely rare. for the gun, ram and torpedo will decide Other quail ties besides mere brutal courage and indifference to death will be brought into play, and cool-headedness is not one of the qualities found in the span ish people. navy of Spain all the armored vessels but one, an old monitor, are enumer- ated. Of the other vessels four wooden ones have been omitted as useless in present naval warfare.

is the purpose of Captain Lemley to hurry this work, and to that end he IS arranging to have two of the com panies combine their forces. They will De paid on the scale of days work with provision for a bonus if they succeed in raising the vessel, thus in sur1ng the recovery of as much of the valuable equipment as is possible, should 1t not be practicable to float the Maine again. Great difficulty is ex- pected in recovering the big 10-inch turret guns, each worth 0,000, owing not only to their own weight, fifty tons apiece without carriages, but to the enormous turrets enclosing them with 100 tons of steel It is doubt- ful if the tops of these turrets can be removed, as was first supposed, by cutting off the boltheads that fix them to the sides, as these large bolts are probably counterSunk and the holds below the surface of the metal, while the confined space within the tur-ats would make it very difficult to ope- rate there on the inside ends under water. It is hoped that 1t may be feasible to raise the turrets entire sufficient power can be applied.
 The newspaper reproductions of pho- tographs taken of the wreck were studied with much interest by the naval officers here to-day. Great sur- prise was expressed at the extent of the wreck and the vast mass of steel and iron heaped in the forward part of the ship was particular object of attention. The experts who had first ventured the theory of a bursting boiler as the cause of the destruction claim to find strong endorsements in the pictures for that belief The great mass or metal appears to be thrown up over the boiler space, and not over the forward magazine, while the fore ing apart of the forward body of the hull, they say, might have been ac- eompl1shed by the enormous expansive power of the high pressure steam car ried in these boilers with their shells more than an inch thick As to what caused boiler to explode; whether a disguised bomb in the coal, low water or faulty construction, they do not now undertake to say
 Secretary Long said this afternoon. after looking over his telegraphic and mail correspondence, that 1t con- tained nothing of importance beyond the dispatches above given. The Sec retary referred with satisfaction to the dispatch stating that the court of in quiry would assemble at Havana to- morrow. The plan has been for the court to meet first at Key West and after doing such work as was possible there, to proceed to Havana. But MT. Long thought 1t was desirable to have the court proceed at once to Havana. where the Inquiry could begin on the actual scene of disaster, and where personal inspection would aid in the intelligent Judgment. On this account the Secretary sentsorders yesterday for the court to proceed direct to Havana and the response of Admiral Sicard Is in accordance with these orders.

In addition to the above list come tWenty-two torpedo-boats ranging from l0S to 20 tons, built mostly since 1885. Notably among these is the Ariete, of S1 tons and 26 knots speed, built in 1887: four completing in Scotland of 3S tons and 20 knots speed; and two likewise in course of construction of 28 knots speed. A submarine boat, Peral, built in 1SS9 the advent of which excited considerable attention, has not been heard of in recent years. This com pletes the apparently effective list of the Spanish navy. The vessels are of modern construction, fairly we'll armed and credited with great speed, factor which our own experience has shown to be somewhat illusive.
 In addition to its regular navy, Spain possesses a merchant steam marine, from which it can draw a number of serviceable vessels as auxiliary cruisers, and will be able to get as many to- gether as the United States. According to recent speed classification, the relative numbers were above twelve knots, as follows:

 POINT COMPLICATIONS.
Second Consignment of Ammuni. tion to Arrive in a Few
 Days

SAUSALITO. Feb. 20-At the Lime Point Notifications which form one of the defenses to the harbor of San Francisco there Is a buzz of excitement caused by the strict orders from head quarters to double the guards at tie guns and exclude all visitors from the Notifications. The great twelve and fifteen inch guns which frown upon the ocean are jealously guarded by armed sentinels whose instructions are to shoot. Besides the regular guards the commander in charge has doubled the patrol, and these blue-coated sol diers pace backward and forward all day and night. Not the slightest pre- caution is being overlooked, and the soldiers at the barracks say that all this extra precaution is not without significance
 Yesterday the magazines, which were almost empty were refilled. and extra guards put on to. patrol the works.

Tn the above list only one, the Pe- layo, Is a battle-ship, which approxi- mates the Iowa, Oregon, Massachusetts and Indiana in the Amsrican navy. She is in the hands of French contractors receiving new boilers and nine 5.5-inch quick firing guns to take the place Of other lighter guns. The Pelayo car ries also two 12H-inch Nontorio rifles which are credited with being able to penetrate 2S inches of iron at the mug gle. The American guns of from 13 and IF inches caliber will penetrate 31h and 35 inches respectively.
 The Emperador Carlos V carries only two 11-inch guns as armor smash CTS; and the six armored cruisers Of the Vizcaya type carry two 11-inch ten 5.5 g. f. and two 2.7 8. f. guns. They are splendid vessels and in protective and offensive power superior to the armOred cruisers of our navy, the New York and Brooklyn, which have only and inch belts and carry six 8-inch and twelve finch r. f. in the New York and eight S-inch and twelve 5-inch r. f. in the Brooklyn. One Spanish arm ored cruiser of the Vizcaya class Is under construction, the others are con- pleted and should be ready for ser vice. AS for the Numancia, built in 1863, and the Vittoria, built in 1885, while they can scarcely be classed with InoueFH drmOreQ vessels, might be found useful as harbor defenders and they also are being fitted out in France with new machinery and mod ern batteries.
 Another armored cruiser of the Cris- tobal Colon type is building. and a bat tle-ship of 11,000 tons was ordered last year in England, but the completion of these ships is still far off.
 The Spanish navy is greatly deficient in cruisers similar to those in our navy. Only five can be classed as such when compared with our protected cruisers, and the rest are what we denominate gunboats. In guns and protection they are inferior to Amer ican cruisers of like tonnage, only two ships, Alfonso XIII and Lepanto, each carrying four 7.8-inch rifles, and the other three cruisers only 6.2 inch, be- sides. of course, quick firing guns of smaller caliber.
 The gunboats ranging from 1130 to 1030 tons carry four 47-inch Honto rio rifles; the smaller boats carry two of these guns. None of these gum boats are equal to the Yorktown nor the Annapolis class in our navy, and

CRUISERS.
At latest account in East India waters.

The strength of the Spanish navy lies in its armored cruisers, its torpedo gunboats, gunboats, torpedo-boat de- stroyers and torpedo boats, most of the smaller vessels having been built with in recent years and credited with great speed. Of these the Fl Destructor is the pioneer of her type, built in 1887 in Scotland. and has proved herself a highly efficient vessel. Her arma- ment is necessarily light, being one 31k-inch, four 6-pounder Hotchkiss and four machine guns. She has also three torpedo tubes, while those of S30 tons have four torpedo tubes and an armament of two AZ = inch, four 116-inch rifles and two ma chine guns. The remainder carry proportionate armaments.
