tected cruiser. though many foreign
experts class her as an armOred
cruiser. Quarters will be provided for
4 large crew and the officers who will
have charge of the training of the
newly enlisted men of Uncle Sans
marine establishment. The vessel was
built of steel in the early part of the
last decade and has a displacement of
$3.50 tons and carried 466 men. 1t is
probable that her transformation will
take some time and therefore visitors
to the jamestown Ter-Centennial eX-
position to be held at Hampton Roads
near Norfolk will have an opportunity
to see the cruiser in nearly the same
condition as she was in the days OF
Manila.
The Texas is also an object of much
affection in the hearts of growing
Americans. She is ranked as Sec
ond-class battleship. and to the last
days of her active life her officers as
serted she was Il match for the strong

believed this or it was merely a loyal
pleasantly on their part there had been
growing opinion on the part Of naval
officers that she had seen her best
days of usefulness and should be re-.
tired. When this decision was reached
1t was thought best to convert her into
receiving ship and station her at
one OF the southern navy yards. She
was brought to the Norfolk navy yard
for this purpose.
The Texas was built in 1892 from
plans purchased in England. AS ship
she has had many vicissitudes. Until
the battle of Santiago she was known
as the lame duck" of the fleet and
the "hoodoo" ship. Prior to the Span
is-American war she sank quietly ct
her dock in the New York navy yard
one day. This mishap was due to
sea valve in her bottom having been
accidentally left open. When she was
at length raised the men cleaning her
bilges found there five fat cells which
had been living on the viands of the
cooks pantry. These were sent to
Captain Evans. with the compliments
of Captain Philips. the commander OF
the Texas. Fighting Bob" acknow!-
edged the gift in the following words:
Thanks. They were very good. Sink

BALTIMORE AND FRISCO.
Rebuilding Figures Show Comparison

ferences in Disaster.

So much has been said and written
about the "slowness" shown in San
Francisco in the matter of rebuilding,
and the city of Baltimore has been so
frequently used as a comparison, that
the California Promotion Committee
has secured statistics regarding the
Baltimore fire and the work of re-
Mobilization and reconstruction fol-
lowing that event. These figures, says
the San Francisco Chronicle, show
that the work already done in San
Francisco far exceeds that accom-
plished in the same period OF time in
Baltimore.
1t must be remembered when these
comparisons are made that the fire
at Baltimore covered less than one
sixteenth of the area of the San Fran
cisco fire. In Baltimore practically
no residences were destroyed, and the
business houses which were burned
out were able to resume within a few
blocks of where their business had
been carried on before the disaster.
While numerous people were thrown
out of employment for short period,
there was no necessity for providing
