The Reina Mercedes May Go TO New

The proposition to give the captured Spanish
cruiser Reina Mercedes to the State Of New York
for use by the State naval militia has aroused
great interest in naval circles in Washington.
The officials OF the Navy Department think that
it would not pay the Government to remodel
the Rena Mercedes and put her into commits
sion in the regular line. The boat is built
an antiquated pattern and is fitted with Il bat
tery using ammunition different from that manu-
factured in this country. Some OF the officials
favor the idea Of restoring the boat in the Span
ish style, and keeping her a war trophy, which
is fast becoming the prevailing opinion about the
future of this boat. As for the prevailing opinion
