Only one fault could be found with

about one half. had it not been for this

THE LAFAYETTE DOLLAR.


The Association Expects to Gain q
Tidy Sum From Their Sale.
Washington, May 15-Upon the rec
ommendatlon Of Mr. Roberts, the di-
rector Of the mint the secretary of the
treasury has approved the design for
the new Lafayette silver dollar submit
ted by the Lafayette Memorial associa-
ton. On ore side of the dollar will be
the heads of Washington and Lafay-
cite and on the other a representation
of the monument to Lafayette to be
erected in Paris in 1900. The wording
will be the same as on the standard dol
lar except that the words Lafayette
Dollar" will be substituted for "One
Dollar"
A question has arisen as to the au-
thority Of the government to coin in
1899 dollars bearing the date 1900, but 1t
is thought this difficulty can be over
come readily. The issue is limited by
law to $4,000 one dollar pieces. but it is
the expectation that the association will
realize a much greater amount from
their sale, the minimum price having
been fixed at 81 each. For the first coin
issued several thousand dollars is ex-
pected to be realized.

REINA MERCEDES SAILS.
Ex-SDanish Cruiser Now on Her Way
to Norfolk Navy Yard.


Washington; May 15.-The navy de-
partment has been notified that the for
mer Spanish cruiser Reina Mercedes
has sailed from Santiago. She will be
brought to the Norfolk navy yard and
there turned over by the Merritt &
Chapman Wrecking company to the ma =
! val authorities Much interest attaches
to the coming of this vessel, as she is
probably the only one of the captured
Spanish ships of any size which will be
in any condition to be brought to this
country.
The Mercedes was sunk in the channel
at the entrance of Santiago harbor as
q means of barring 1t to the American
warships. After the fall of Santiago
an inspection of the sunken ship showed
that she was in fairly good condition, as
she had not been sunk in action but by
the opening of her port holes. A con-
tract was made with the wrecking COM
pany by which they agreed to deliver
her at the Norfolk navy yard, part Oh
the pay for service being conditioned
on the successful execution of the
work
The department has not been inform
ed of the progress Of the work. and Of
ficials were considerably surprised to
learn that the ship was not only afloat,
but on her way from Santiago. Her con-
dition is not known, but when Assistant
Secretary Allen was at Santiago recent
ly he inspected the partially submerged
vessel and found her to be in fairly
good condition. The divers said there
were two shot holes in the hull. They
found some go port holes lashed open as
means of keeping the ship down. The
Mercedes Is about the size of the cruiser
Boston.
