HERO OF MAINE DISASTER.

Brave "Bill' Anthony, marine order

a record to be proud of. Amidst the
shrieks of wounded sailors sod the rush
of flames, with the great ateel ship

Anthony made his report 20 Captain

tends the vital parts of the Cardinal
Cisneros is larger and the quality OF

the relative value of the national forces

to our readers for reference and anal

cruisers flying the United States nag,
which serve to-day as the sword or Da-

Wreck of tho Ashuelot.

Lieutenant Frank S. Hotchkin, OF
Chicago, who served eighteen years in
the United States navy, and then re-
tired into commercial life, says that II
the Maine had not been a warship the
disaster might have been much worse
than it was. The lieutenant was an
officer on board the the fated Ashuelot
when that warship was wrecked in the
China sea. Eight men were lost-three
Chinese who were looting the officers
quarters, and five ''middies" who
jumped overheard, crazed by fear. The
Ashuelot was built for service on the
Mississippi during the war, and fifteen
years ago, Feb. %, was in Chinese wat
ers. She was walled in by a heavy fog
when at o'clock in the morning Lieu
tenant Hotchkin went to relieve the
watch. He had scarcely put foot on
deck when the lookout cried: Land on
the starboard beam" The next min
ute the ship struck, and had it not
been for the discipline the whole out
fit would have gone to the bottom.
The loss of the ship caused an inquiry
and a court-martial, and the captain
and the navigator were disciplined.

again." quoth the lieutenant, II desire
that it shall be on a man-of-war."

An experienced trainer asked to con-

give a new racing man, answered as
follows: Eat almost everything ex-
cept green stuff potatoes and turnips.
Make beef, dry toast and weak tea the
principle articles of food. Do not be
afraid of ice cream and ripe fruit at
your meals. Be in bed at 9 o'clock each
night and up at in the morning. Take
a cool spray bath on rising. Do not
use tobacco or drink any kind of L.
quor. For rubbing mixtures so dear to
all racing men use witch hazel mixed
with very little pepperment oil. Mix
in the proportion of one pint of witch
hazel to five cents worth Of oil. Do
not depend so much on the mixture as
on the rubbing. Have the body we'll

time, when his commanding officers
favorite though he was-could not
wink at the offense.
His last army service was at West
Point, where he figured to the admira-
ton of cadets and everybody else as
drum major. "Bill's" splendid figure
and profound knowledge of soldiery
won him this appointment.
Ten years ago he left the army and
enlisted as a marine. 1t was the old
story over again-rapid advancements,
followed by the inevitable setbacks, all
due to unwise conviviality. Not that

Brooklyn navy yard Anthony is well

: Pushing Work on Three ArmOred Cruisers of s
3 Type Superior to the Vizcaya. 3


The Spanish government is doing all
within it's power to augment the
strength of her navy, and with that end
in view, orders have been given to push
forward the three new armored cruz
sers, the Cardinal Cisneros, Princesa
de Austurias and Catalina, which this
country is building, and which are de-
scribed in the following articles, taken
from that excellent weekly naval IL
Illustrated paper, Ell Mundo Naval, writ
ten by Lieutenant of the Navy Mario
Rubio Munez:
"The navy isganxiously awaiting the
happy comRfetion of the three armored
cruisers which are being built in the
arsenals of Ferrol, Carraca and Carta-
gena. The general description given
in brief in a previous number, when
we described to our readers the cruis
ers Infanta Maria Teresa, Vizcaya and
Oquendo, are repeated in reference to
their sister ships in all that relates to
the generic type; but there will be

Armament to BE Heavier.
Apart from the small variations of
external appearance, the differences to
which we allude are for the main part
introduced in the armament of the new
cruisers, which is to be heavier and at
the same time more complete.
"The characteristics of these cruisers
are the following: Length, LOG metres;
breadth; Ism. Sem; draught, 6m. Gem;
displacement, 1000 tons; engines, 49,
600 horse power, and speed 20 knots.

Deduction From Figures.
Direct deduction from the preceding
figures enables us without any strain
ing of our conscience to call our three
national cruisers superiores in absolu-
to over their foreign antagonists, but,
nevertheless, the eloquence Of those
figures should be sufficient to inspire in
the pessimists and incredulous the ne

eight years ago, and from that moment
Anthony has never ceased to wear the
uniform.
His first active service carried him
to the Carolinas, where the Ku Klux
were busily engaged in their deviltries.
There he laid the foundation for his
soldierly reputation. His commanding
officer in those early days was Major
Steward, long since retired, but still
living.
Years later q young man drifted into
the marine corps as volunteer. a
slender, soft-handed fellow, who was
the butt of the company until "Bill"
Anthony, the pride of the barracks,

be the hayward son of Anthony's old
major, and the big marine watched
over him like father.

cal Transmission Lines.
A nomadic electrical engineer and
inventor, recently returned from the
Pacific coast, relates the following
story in the Electrical Engineer: "a
few weeks ago great American eagle.
which had been born and brought up
In California, and was, therefore, a
sound-money advocate, was making a
visit in the vicinity of Fresno, Cal.
While he was waiting around on the
mountainside for his friends to appear
he became weary and decided to alight
in some convenient place for an inter-
val OF rest. He happened to land on
one OF the barb wires of the electric
transmission line coming down from
the mountains into Fresno. While en-
1oying his siesta an eagle came along
whom the California bird at first mis-
took for one of his friends. The
stranger also made the mistake OF sup
posing that the California eagle was
friend of his, consequently he alight-
ed on another wire of the transmits
sion line directly opposite and began
a conversation. In the course Of the
talk it was discovered that the new
conner was Nevada bird, and conse-
quently rabid free-silverite. 1t Is
much the same with the feathered
things OF the air as it is with human
beings; that is to say, that the course
OF conversation naturally turned to
politics and from that to a discussion
OF the money question. The crisis
came when the birds passed from
words to blows. The man who saw
the light Is not exactly certain in his
own mind who struck first, but he is
positive that when the beaks of the
TWO eagles met the only thing that
ne could see was cloud Of smoke and
flash Of lightning. Closer investiga-
ton revealed the fact that immedi-
ately under the perches formerly oc-
cupied by the two eagles were two
pairs of claws, two beaks and several
bushels of scorched and pungent feath-
ers scattered over the scenery. The
pun OF smoke included the balance OF
the remains. But here is where the
real damage was done. When these
two eagles crossed their bills they
short-circuited the line and caused
an arc, which was maintained for some
minutes. between the two opposite
sides OF the line, until the copper was
melted through and the circuit was
broken. A search party was sent forth
to discover the cause of the lack of
electric power in Fresno, and it was
several hours before the damage was
repaired. The linemen who straighten-
ed out the tangle have preserved the
beaks and claws of the birds and sew
eral of the feathers found on the
ground. This is all the proof that any
sane man would require as to the actu-
al occurrence have described"
