chorea recently at the Norfolk NAVY
Yard, for she suH looks the capable
fighter that she did when she carried
Admiral Dewey into the harbor OF
Manila. But the demands Of modern
nayies change too rapidly for the retcn-
tion of a ship which has been as useful
as the Olympia has for so many years,
and it is forced to make way for the new
comers. Already the topmasts have been
taken down, ard all but her eight-inca

cruisers appearance will not be greatly
changed.
The Texas is a little more fortunate
than the cruiser, as the battle ship has
been kept in active service a little longer
through the demands caused by the
Cuban trouble. The work Of rcmodeliuc
her has been postponed until there is no
longer any need for her around Cuba. ard
