guns. Her normal coal supply is 1900
tons. She is of medium armament and
is absolutely unprotected, despite her
classification. She has two military
masts, two large smokestacks, a high
bridge, and two of her guns are placed
forward of the bridge behind shields.
She has steel deck, ranging from three
to five inches in thickness. But the ship
is weak. Her hull can be penetrated
by guns of small caliber, and she is
consequently worthless against battle
ships.
A larger vessel than the Alfonso XIII.
but still even less effective, is the Nu-
mancia. She is nearly S15 feet long and
is classed by courtesy as a battleship,
though the Spaniards call her "a broad
side ship" She is really an old IRON
clad, with a displacement of 1905 tons
and an armor belt from to 5is inches.
Her armament consists of eight 10 inch
Armstrong, seven inch, one 7.S inch
Hontoria and eight smaller guns The
last advices from abroad were that she
was to receive new machinery and six
az inch rapid fire and six At inch Hon.
The age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1897-1902, 1898-06-26

Her armament is two II inch Hontoria,
eight SIS inch, four 3.9 inch, two 81 inch,
four 22 inch and six smaller guns. She
is further equipped with two military
masts, the regulation signal yards,
three tall, slender smokestacks, two
turrets, a ram bow and a bridge above
the forward turret. In other words, she
is modern armored cruiser Her coal
capacity is 1900 tons. The Pelayo was
launched about decade ago and the
Carlos in 1895. The latter has a COM
plement of 535 men, while the Pelayo's
crew numbers 600. 1t is difficult to con-
lecture whether the Carlos rs of any
great value. She was constructed by
the shipbuldlng firm of Vega Murgula
of Cadiz, which built the gunboat Filipi-
mas, afterward officially declared to be
worthless.
In the United States navy are two
armored cruisers very similar to the
Carlos V-the Brooklyn of $500 tons
and the New York of $500. The former
is much the better ship. She carries
eight inch and twelve inch guns to
the New Yorks six s inch ard twelve
inch. The armor of the New York
four inches on the sides and ten inches
on the turrets-is thicker than the three
latters protection is more modern. The
Oregon. the Indiana and the Massachu-
sets carry each the tremendous arma-
ment of four 10 inch, eight 8 inch and
four inch guns. In the way of pro-
lection the thickest side armor is to be
found in a partial belt protecting only
the vitals of the ships. This armor, of
harveyized nickel steel, is Is inches
thick. The big guns, more than foot
in diameter of bore, are mounted inside
II inch steel turrets, and the 6 inch
battery is protected by five inches of
the same metal.
With the Cadiz squadron is. or was,
or may be, the protected cruiser AL

Besides these we have our heavy
monitors and a number of less effective
fighting vessels in Cuban waters, many
of which would be matches for the
lighter ships of the Cadiz squadron.
In other words, we have four or five
times the force necessary to utterly ex-
tinguish this last remnant of Spain's
display. The remainder of our war
ships, cruisers, gunboats, monitors, tor
pedo boats and auxiliary cruisers 1t is
not necessary to mention. We have
those enumerated in the preceding table
to spare for the reception of the Cad
izers whenever the fleet desires to come
our way, or If they are inclined to in
trude into the bay of Manila there is
awaiting them in those historic waters
a naval force superior to their boosted
squadron. We even have a third Sec
ton, consisting of the Holland sub
marine vessel, the Baltimore Plunger
and other diving conundrums that
might in themselves be sufficient to cope
with what is left of Spain's naval force.

of Spains ministry over our cabinet at
Washington in everything that relates
to announcements. No matter what
fleet she may be equipping or intending
to equip, the announcement goes forth
that it will be the most formidable
squadron that the world has ever seen.
Prior to the outbreak of hostilities,
when it was suggested that our Asiatic
squadron would make things very in
teresting for the Spanish vessels in the
Philippine islands, Sagasta regarded the
suggestion as so absurd as to be UNI
worthy of comment
But Dewey went to Manila, and now
there is no Spanish Asiatic squadron.
When what is popularity, or rather
unpopularly now, known as the Cape
Verde fleet was about to sail, it was
stated that it's sole purpose was to hunt
down the Americans and teach them
lesson in naval warfare. Cervera was
}eralded as second Lord Nelson, and

,lly in Scain that if the Yankees would

class in the world, and humiliation is

Camara has for years been held up in

Spain, Once Empress Of the Seas has Be-
come the Bigger Nation.
It IS romance of fact, marvel OF his
tory, story OF singular fate. the tale OF
spain's descent from the ruling power
of Europe, the support of the Crusaders,
the home Of chIvalry, mistress Of the
new world and master of the sea, to
the shabby genteel Of a nation, which,
losing her estates through unjustlhed
wars. has at last been left with no 9TH
er support than the pride of better days.
Her mastery was obtained when all Eu-
rope was cruel, before true Christian
lty had spread its gracious influence
making for the peace Of the world. 9th
err nations became regenerated under
the spirit Of this great clVillZer, but
Spain was welded TO the idols OF saw
agery. She assumed the outward form,
adopted the symbols and became
land Of churches, but her people lost
none Of their attachments for the bar
barous, and while praying to the Wiz
gin, sacrificed to Moloch, as they do to
this dag, so that Spain is pronouncedly
q nation OF hypocrits, which the God OF
the righteous is scourging with loss OF
territory and slaughter on the battle
field.
Our conflict with this country, whose
crosses are stained with the blood OF
persecution, and whose temples are
polluted with every form Of impiety, is
a holy war. waged, as 1t Is, not for con-
drast hut for humanity. and proecu-

THE RAILROADS.

The fact that the gross earnings of
the Baltimore & Ohio railroad from the
operations Of the roads for the fiscal
year ending June 80. 1898. reached the
splendid sum Of Sg7,6l2, 4S2, an increase
OF 81, $40 over the similar period OF
1897, has created considerable favorable
comment In financial circles.
The receivers. after they were APP
pointed and had examined the situa-
ton carefully. we're confident that II
their policy was carried out, the earn
ings OF the railroad would be very
greatly augmented, and, as is we'll
known, they began a series OF improve
ments that, while not yet completed,
have progressed sufficiently TO demon
strate beyond question that the Balti-
more & Ohio railroad has an earning
capacity that will place 1t in the ranks
OF the profitable railroads in the coun-
try in few years. The two million
dollars increase In gross was made only
with an increase OF $2Sl, 1891 In expenses,
giving net Increase OF Sl,1IS,9i9, the
approximate net earnings from the
roads alone for the year being $780,
9I7, over 100000 in excess Of what the
fixed charges will be under the plan Of
reorganization. In addition to these
earnings there is a miscellaneous net
income from various sources Of about
100000.
It must be remembered that during
last July and August there we're coal
