A TALE OF lRE ARMADA.
The Blowing Up of the Florentine Gal
leon, the Florencia.

Over three centuries ago vessel
Of the Spanish armada was blown
up in Tobermory bay, off the coast
Of the island of Null. Recently
numerous relics haze been recovered
from it by divers. They include old
cannon, swords, pistols, plate ane
coins. The vessel was the FlOreb
ella, a Florentine galleoD which
came from the Levant, one of the
Italian possessions of the king Of
Spain, and was commanded by one
Pereija. After the defeat of the
armada the Florencia was forced by
bad weather and lack of provisions
to put into Tobcr:nory bay. There
Sir Lauchlane MacLcan, who, be-
cause of his fcuds with his neigh
bors, had been made denounced
rebel" by King James of Scotland.
formed an alliance with the Span
iards. With the aid of hundred
soldiers from the ship and of his
own followers the wild chieftain
made war on neighboring clans for
some time.
At last he received message
from Captain Pereija requesting
that the Spanish soldiers be sent
back at once, as he was preparing
for sea. At the same time he heard
that the provisions supplied to the
Spaniards had not been paid for.
Sir Lauchlane demonstrated with
the don for his injustice, and salts
faction was promised. On the
strength of this the men were sent
back, but MacLean, not relying en-
tirely on the captains promise, re-
tanned three Of the soldiers as
hostages till the debt should be
paid. At the same time he sent one
of his own men, Donald Glas Mac
Lean, on board the Florencia to re-
ceive an adjustment of the demands
OF MS people.
Donald Glas when he went on
board the ship was disarmed and
made prisoner, and no communica-
ton was allowed between himself
and his friends. But Donald Glss
conceived a plan which, though it
meant certain death to himself,
promised a speedy and terrible retri-
button to his csptors. Finding that
the cabin in which he was confined
was close to the magazine, he forced
his way into it, and, laying a train
from it to the outside, he fired it.
The ship was blown to pieces, kill
ing the 800 or 400 persons who
were on board.

same rates. 1t is then simply a
question of which is the best COM

lint snnltnrlum Matter.

The proposal Of parties to put
in n $50, 900 sanitarium near San
Angelo if this city would donate
the necessary grounds, seems TO
be meeting with some opposition.
Some people oppose the PROPOSE
tlon saying that too many con-
sumptives come here now They
believe that u sanitarium would
have the effect Of bringing more
sick people here
The Press thinks that they are
right in supposing that mors sick
people will come, sanitarium or
no sanitarium, but that they are
wrong in opposing the proposition.
A $4,000 sanitarium, properly
conducted, will be the best thing
possible for San Angelo. AS it
is the sufferers from the dread
white plague who como to this
city have no place to go where
they can receive the proper treat
ment. They are crowded into
stui1y boarding houses and hotels
where they do not improve aud
