1t is worth speaking of, now that
ing SO much said of him in the news
papers of the day regarding his pur-
chase of two warships from the govern
ment of Chill, that Mr.. Flint is a Maine
man. These vessels are protected
cruisers Chacabuco and Esmeralda ana
their purchase involved a sum OF $o,-
10000. These vessels were both puiit
in England. The reports also say that
Mr.. Flint is negotiating for the battle
ship Captain Pratt, built in France,
ana also owned by the Gillian govern
ment. Mr.. Flint was born in Thomas
ton in 1856, and for many years has
been identified with many conirnerclai,
legal, manufacturing and other large
business corporations and firms. he
was prominent in the establishment OF
the Bureau of the American Repupiics'
fitted out 4 fleet of war vessels LOT thc
Brazilian republic in 1893; mas eStaD-
lished many steamship lines, ana acteu
as the confidential agent of the Uhited
States in negotiating for war vessels III
1898. He is one Of the most successful
and dominating business men whom
Maine has ever given to the great
metropolitan centres of the country.
The question is naturally asked III view
of his recent transaction for whom mas
Mr.. Flint purchased these battleshlps!
Of course Mr.. Flint is not buying them
for himself. He has no idea OF Dulidill9
Il private navy; nor has he any use 1or
this class of ships as pleasure yachts'
although he is abundantly able to nave
them for his own pleasure if he wanted
to do so.
