THE RUINED FLEET.
Can Anyone Question That The Maine
Has Been Pretty Thoroughly Avengedy


Has Been Pretty Thoroughly Avenged?
The vessels which compose Admiral
Cervera's squadron, converted into
wrecked charnel houses, are littering
the Cuban coast and the scenes of desc
lation, ruin, horror and death battle
description.
At the entrance Of the harbor of San
tiago de Cuba lies the Riena Mercedes.
Westward, five miles from the harbor,
Is torpedo boat destroyer, stuck fast
in the rocks, close in shore and bat
tered by the surf Rocks jutting out
OF the water i'm front where she lies
hide her hull from view. Her davits
and the top of her coming tower alone
mark her resting place.
Visible from the sea, few miles fur
ther, in an inlet embraced by two
mighty arms of black rocks that ex-
tend half mile into the sea, are the
remains OF the twin cruisers Infanta
Maria Teresa and Almirante Oquendo,
formerly the pride of the Spanish navy.
Beyond lies the Vizcaya. a mass Of
ruins, and ~ miles away from Santiago
de Cuba, the Chistobal Colon lies help
less on her sides, with her smokestacks
under water.
The Infanta Maria Teresa and the
Almirante Oquendo stand upright,
stuck fast on the rocky shoals. ALI
that is left of them is their outer hulls,
the heavy armOr defying total annihi-
ation. Inside of them the work of
destruction is complete. Their boilers,
engines, bunkers and magazines have
been blown into unrecognizable masses
of twisted, melted iron. Exploded
shells, burned rifles and revolvors,
pieces OF yellow brass work and gold
and silver coin, melted 10y the intense
heat, are strewn all over the remains
OF the once proud armored cruisers,
whose protective decks only stand in
places. But, the most CHASTITY, horri-
BILE sights in those silent steel collins
are the mangled, SCARED and charred
bodies of hundreds of brave sailors,
sacrificed for their country. Buzzards
are feeding off the dead and others are
lowering over the wrecks.
On the beach, other fiocks OF vul-
lures sit in silence waiting for the sea
to give up its dead. Every tide adds
to the tale of horror, washing up such
objects as, for instance, a sleeve enclos-
ing wasted arm, other portions of
human bodies gnawed by hungry
sharks, and countless relics of the
battle.
Attention has been given TO the
burial of the dead Of the enemy, and
over 100 bodies taken from the ships
or washed ashore have been inferred
upon the beach by Rear-Admiral
SIMPSONS orders.
Those which now remain are either
almost totally consumed by fire,
charred beyond belief or lie in the sea-
These form the food for the buzzards,
which keep a constant vigil about the
wrecks.
The buried wrecks lie in confused
mass, unnumbered and unnamed, in
huge pit dug in the sandy beach,
where the vessels went ashore. A
rude wooden cross from the wreckage
alone marks the grave, grave over
which Spain may well mourn.

IT has gotten to be quite habit with
the Wilmington City Passenger Railway
10 run the Delaware Avenue cars out the
Avenue at very late hour in the morn
ing. 1t is worked this way: The cars
come in the Avenue and bunch up TO-
gether early in the morning at French
street station. At that place the signs on
the cars are changed and the cars depart
over each and every line in the city ex-
cept the Delaware Avenue line. No car
goes out the Avenue until 8 O'Clock.
Patrons who use this line regularly are
thus caused much inconvenience and to
be subject to the insolence OF the mo-
nopoly is an outrage.

THE cllaryr mad" by John f. SaulI-
bury that Boggs looted the First National
Bank, Of Dover, for the purpose Of aid
ing the Union Republicans to carry Kent
county last November is so absurd that
no man with the least modicum Df com
mon sense will be !nisslcd by it. BoggS
did not borrow Saulsbury's checks for
any such purpose and it is worse than
folly for him to say 50. 1t was through
dealing with brokers in New York that
BOggs was led to rob the bank and John
F. only stultiles himself in assigning
other reasons for his dcfalcation. Men
lost largely in the stock market and
Boggs was among the victims. That his
Democratic friends aided him with the
loan Of checks when they had not dollar
in the bank, is generally admitted
If they did not get portion Of his plum
der it is rather singular. At any rate
they knew that he was engaged in
crooked work, and as honest men they
should have informed his employers.
Had there been the slightest suspicion
that the money was being used to intlr.
ence the election in Kent county, neither
Mr.. Salisbury nor any other Democrat
would have aided him to have drawn a
dollar by the loan Of their checks. They
don't do business in that way, and it is
folly for any one to attempt to deceive
the people, or shieldshimself by making
such statements. We hope that men
will learn to Ee more truthful, or when

The Sun man has had another dream
and this time it is ex.Secretary OF State,
John d. Hawkins, who was the bene'
hciary of $500 loaned him by Vim. n
Boggs, taken from the vaults OF the First
National Eank at Dover. Bring forth
the proof and thus put stop to these
sensational charges, that are only nine
days talk. The proof is what the people
demand and without it all the charges
will fall flat. No guilty man, If the
proof is forthcoming should be al
bowed TO escape the consequences
Of his wrong doing in being an ac-
cessory in robbing the bank. Mr.. Haw,
kins is Democrat, he has always borne
good reputation in his home at Dover.
The sun says he has "no story to tell. y
why should he. If the Sun knows any
thing whereby the men whom it has
mentioned thus far, knowingly received
money stolen from the First National
Bank at Dover, it has thus far failed to
substantiate the charges. Every man is
innocent until proven guilty If the
publisher of the Sun has proofs, it is
more than the President OF the Bank
has. 1t is nearly time to advance the
proof or shut up in the matter until
Boggs arrives home and gives the snap
away. As General Grant said ''let US
have peace. THE Daily Republican.
