THE RE1NA MERCEDES.
spanish Cruiser May He Repaired
and Placed on Exhibition.


survey Of the captured Spanish cruiser
Reina Mercedes, now at the Norfolk navy
yard. has been ordered by the Navy De-
partment to determine what repairs are
necessary to make the ship seaworthy in
the event the authorities decide to send the
cruiser along the Atlantic Coast this sum-
mer for purposes of exhibition as a trophy
of the war with Spain. 1t is not proposed
under any circumstances to begin exten-
sive overhauling of the VESSEL until Con-
gress provides the necessary sum, but il
the survey indicates that the ship may be
temporarily repaired and put in condition
within a few weeks, it Is possible the Navy
Department may prepare 1t for show pur
poses at the leading cities Oh this coast.
Admiral Hichborn estimates that over
$500, eco will be required TO place the prize
in such condition as to be useful to the
navy rs a cruising vessel. and states that
it is not practicable to devote any part of
the fund available fer maintaining ships
in repair to this purpose. There is no
law, he says, which will prevent the vessel
being overhauled. no matter If it should
be necessary to practically rebuild it, in
asrnuch as the statute providing that no
vessel could have more than 90 per cent of
its original cost expended applies only to
wooden vessels, and the Mercedes is a
steel ship.
The Navy Department has received a
suggestion from the Portsmouth, Va.
Beard Of Trade that the Reina Mercedes be
rebuilt at the Norfolk navy yard supplied
with the very best guns and armor and
then presented TO the Queen Regent OF
Spain. as an evidence Of the good will
cherished by the United States for her
