FUTURE OF THE REINA MERCEDES
Congress May Have to Decide what
TO DO With Her.

The members of the Board Of Naval
Bureau Chiefs who will be called upon
10 decide as 10 the nature OF the repairs
and changes 10 be made upon the cap
tured Spanish cruiser Reina Mercedes
now at the Norfolk navy-yard, are some
what divided in opinion. and it may be
that the cruiser will be tied up az the
dock at Norfolk and left there 20 await
the pleasure OF Congress at the next
session
The Mercedes. though a good enough
cruiser Of her kind, by no means repre-
sents the latest ideas in naval construc-
ton. She is about similar in type to the
Newark of our own navy. and the Navy
Department would not think for mo-
ment of building another Newark at this
date. IT it is decided to reft the Ner-
cedes as man-of-War. il will be neces-
sary TO supply her with a new battery,
for the guns she carried were Of different
calibres from the standards now in use
in the navy, and il will not be expedient
TO attempt to maintain a special supply
OF ammunition for her benefit. a con-
servative estimate, which, Of course may
be considerably qualified by the report
of the inspection board places the cost
OF renting the Mercedes so as TO en-
title her TO place on the naval lists al
about a quarter of a million dollars,
which would be about - per cent of her
value. The naval bureaus are scarcely
disposed to cXpend SO much of their IN
definite appropriations for this purpose.
and that Is one reason why the prOposl-
ton 10 let the matter await the action Of
Congress finds support.

Americans Decorate It-Ex-President
Harrison Speaks.

PARIS, May S0.-A large throng gather
ed this afternoon in the Cemetery Of Pic
pus, to assist in the annual decoration by
Americans of the tomb of Lafayette. The
interest Of the occasion was enhanced by
the knowledge that ex-President Benja-
min Harrison would speak. General Por-
ter, the United States Ambassador, open
ed the ceremony with a brief address, and
Mr. Harrison followed with an Grafton
that was frequently applauded.
THE nation that cherishes the graves Of
its soldiers, and assemblies to honor
them" he said. is a nation that pre-
serves and enlarges national life. The
monuments to our dead show no trafling
ranks of sad and weary captives follow
ing their conquerors, but display broken
manacles from the hands and feet of
emancipated blacks. The result of that
emancipation was seen at Santiago, where
the black troops and the Texas troops
We'd with each other in being the first to
leap upon the enemy's breastworks."
THE GALLANT DEWEY.
Mr. Harrison then referred to the gal
liant and glorious son of Vermont now
returning homeward after achievements
that Will keep his name ever illustrious In
the annals Of all nations"
Here I'm the capital of our great sister
republic" he continued, "where no soldier
Of American birth finds resting place.
we see the sentiment Of gratitude and
veneration finding suitable expression
around the tomb of Lafayette, the cru
sader OF liberty, who came 10 our aid in
a time Of stress; whose name is perhaps
more closely than any other connected
with the name of Washington"
