REINA MERCEDES DESTRUCTION
Cervera's Last ship Lies Wrecked on
the Beach at Santiago.

Kingston. July THE destruction of
the Spanish cruiser Reina Mercedes
Monday night accounts for the last
ship of Admiral Cervera's once splendid
squadron. She lies today in plain view,
her bow resting on the base of the
beach under El Moro. Part of her
hull is above water, and her masts and
two stacks are entirely out Of water.
1t is not yet known whether she at
tempted to escape from the harbor or
whether the Spaniards tried to sink
her near the hull of the Merrimac, and
thus block the entrance TO prevent the
Americans from getting in.
Her sinking was most dramatic. Just
after midnight she was seen drifting
slowly out Of the narrow entrance by
one of the American scouts. In mo-
ment the fleet was ablaze with signals,
and almost instantly an awful hail of
shells was hammering down upon her.
1t is not known whether she returned
the fire, but the shore batteries opened
and one six inch shell fell on the In
dianas forward deck. exploding be-
low. The explosion occurred in the
mems sleeping rooms, but all were at
quarters. and no one was hurt. No
other American ship was hit during
the engagement-or incident-which
lasted only few minutes.

RED TAPEDOM.
Lord Cadogan and His
Princely Irish Salary.

When the Cunard liner Campania
reached Queenstown the other day,
there was a great futter of excitement
among the local newspaper men be-
cause Of the presence on board the
steamer of the members Of the United
States peace commission, en- route for
Paris.
Those Queenstown reporters are en-
ployed on the STATS Of the Cork news
papers. and they frequently do impor-
tant work in connection with the ar
rival of the transatlantic steamers.
The capture of a fugitive from Ameri-
can justice by the keen-eyed detectives
who are constantly on du5y at Queens
town, and who go out on the tenders
to meet the different liners armed with
descriptive cables from American
chiefs of police, the constantly arriv-
ing American and Canadian notabill-
ties of all grades of service and pro-
fession the tales of the passage which
captain or purser can relate, such as
meeting with a giant iceberg that
looked like a cathedral afioat, or the
rescue in mid-ocean of some hapleSs
castaways, are but few of the chances
of getting good story which two or
three times every week come the way
of the Queenstown reporters, some Of
whom are also correspondents for the
big New York dailies. They are, in the
main, energetic and enterprising men,
who are accustomed to work in all
sorts Of weathers and at all hours of
the day. The fact that q stiff north
easter is blowing and that the sea out
side Spike island is rolling high and
heavy, does not deter them from duty,
when at o'clock in the morning the
man in the Rochespoint signal tower
telephones that the Campania or Ma
jestic is in the offing, just arrived from
New York and tumbling about impa-
tiently waiting for the tender" to
take off the mails and those of the pas
sengers who want to go ashore at
Queenstown.
Out goes the little tender, bearing
her company of customs officers, post
office officials, detectives and reporters,
all clad alike on q dirty night" in
westers and oil skins Each set
cf men goes quickly to work on the
steamer, for the time at their disposal
is short as the captain is anxious not
to lose fis tide at Liverpool.
The newspaper men know already
by cable If there are any big person
ages on board, and who they are and
all about them. Their business is to
seek those men Cor women out, wheth-
or on promenade deck or in saloon or
state room, and try to get a statement
from them for their papers. In other
words. to get an interview after the
American idea.
But they don't know how. as a rule.

to enable him discharge the onerous du-
ties of his useless office.
Just think of that for a salary for a
titled cottillon leader placed in actual
rulership over a country that Is just
the size of the state of Iowa and not
half as prosperous; double as much as
is paid to the president of the United
States, and ten times as much as the
governors of New York or Massachu-
sets receive for their time and labor.
But what does my Lord Cadogan care
for all the peoples criticism? He Is
placed where he is, not through the
wishes but in defiance of the wishes of
the people he is supposed to govern, and
whether he spends his time and his
bloated salary in Paris or Morocco, he
has no more heed or concern for the
opinion of the people regarding his
movements, than he has for a snap of
his ducal finger. And the vice royalty
is one of the free institutions which the
Irish people are expected to cherish and
support
Red tape and crazy officialdom are
not all confined to Washington. The
other day a progressive officer of the
British navy, impressed with the mar
velous gunnery of the boys of the
American navy, took it on himself to
make study of the Workmanship of
his own jolly tsrs. He was disturbed
at the results, which were far below
the standard of accuracy that would be
necessary in an ocean engagement. The
officer saw the need for practice and
he thought 1t would be a good idea if
the crews of the ships of his squadron
were offered prizes to encourage them
to emulation in the working of their
guns. The idea was warmly approved
in naval circles (aboard the ships) and
a suggestion was made that the admir-
atty permit the offering of ego ($100)
in prizes or premiums, to be contested
for by the gunners. Red tape had its
way, however, and the request was
CURLY refused. One of these days John
Bull may wish his men had got the lit
tie premiums, as he sees the deadly FIR
ing of an enemy's fleet sending one or
more of his costly battleships to Davy
Jones locker.
Straining at gnats and swallowing
camels has always been the favorite
pastime of red tape bound government
officials, the world over.
