tured during the late war has aroused
suspicion that Spain is trying In this
indirect manner to obtain possession Of
the vessels and thus remove the Offense

The offer mentioned no figures, but

that answer will be returned to the wri-

Secretary Long has decided that It
would not pay to attempt to renovato
the Mercedes and use her as n warship.
The cost would be not less than half a
million dollars and the ship would,
when repaired, be Of old type and not
