Not since the battle Of l.cnauto in
1911 has Spain given good account
of herself in naval warfare. In that
battle Spain, with the aid Of the
Gcnncse and Venetian fleets adm:
istcrcd such crushing defeat to
Turkey that it destroyed the power Of
the sultan on the seas for all time to
come. This was the las. Of Spain s
naval victories. Seventeen years later
she sent her boasted Invinciblc

warships ever seen against England

Drake, the dragon Of the sea, dis
posed Of.
In l704 Spain lost Gibraltar and
England has held it ever since. Three
months after its capture the allied
forces Of Spain and France tried to
rctakc the fortress and lost 10, 200
men in the cpdcavor The effort was
repeated by Spain alone in 1920 and
again in 1927, both times with disas-
trouS results.
France came to the help of.Spain
again in 1919 but the English beat
them back from Gibraltar with heavy
losses
In 1871 Spain once more attacked
Gibraltar and suffered the loss of 49,
600 men. France again aided her in
1882, but the allies were utterly de-
featcd
spain since that time has given up
hope Of rcrapturing Gibraltar.
On July 81, l7l8, Spain lost to
England twentyninc battleships at
Mcssina. In 1870 Rodney admins
tered a severe defeat to the Spanish
feet off Cape Vincent, where her war
ships were recently gathered.
a far worse thrashing was given her
by that greatest Of ali sea-Gghtcrs,

with a far inferior fleet he almost
annihilatcd the combined naval
strength Of France and Spain.
Spain latest naval defeat before
the battle Of Manila was in 1866 when

Peicja, the Spanish commander, was
SO mortified at the result that he re-

she was awakened by hearing racket
in her room, and finally, mastering up
enough courage to look around, she
discovered that her stick had fallen
from the window to the floor, behind
the sewing machine. She arose, went
to the machine and leaned over it to
reach the stick.
In the meantime the daughter had
been awakened by the same noise,
and, fearing that burglar had entered
her mother room and would frightcn
her to death. she hurried to invcsti-

her horror, that her mother was lying,

daughter is small and frail, she deci-

the supposedly unconscious body
around the waist. immediately the
mother gave forth such succession
of blood -curdling shrieks as might
have been heard for squares, as she
struggled in the grasp of the long

certain that her mother had gone mad
with fright, held on for dear life, and

New York, Sept. st was anticipated
that the weekly statement of the asso-

further heavy decrease in surplus reserve
holdings. Another large decrease appears
certain in the amount of cash held by the
local banks, rejecting gold turned into

war bonds and the shipment of currency
out OF town, chiefly to Southern points.
The amount of the decrease in surplus
reserves will depend upon the extent to
which loans have been called by the
banks during the week If, as is under
stood, there has been a considerable con-
traction in loans, there will be smaller
contraction in the surplus reserve hold
