80 j. Valdez, Antonio Daniels and
Manuel Fernandez. Valdez who
is Cuban, is said to have beer
one of the crew of the Vizcaya
sunk at Santiago. He says he serv.
ed ten years in the Spanish navy,
making gunnery . speciality. He
does not care to admit that he was
on the vizcaya. He speaks Eng
lish fuently.
The men on board say that the
excavations of the people of Hava'
ma we're heaped on the Maryland
when she left that port. Thew de-
clared that she would never reach
her destination and never be ser.
viceable to any one owning her.
The Carlos 4. Roses was built in
Italy in 1867. Her model and liy.
ing apartments are typical of the
sailing vessel architecture of that
country. She registers 400 tons
net and has capacity for about
500 tons of cargo. She is metaled
but that like other parts of her,
shows wear and that want of atten.
ton that MARKS her all over. When
captured she belonged to Carlos F
Roses, of Barcelona. Spain, who.
the Cuban crew of the Maryland
say, committed suicide when he
heard of the loss of the vessel tc
American fleet. The present own.
ers have not decided to what to do
with the vessel. She will be sold
if an offer justifying that course is
presented. Otherwise she will be
converted into barge for the coast
ing trade.
