.SPAIN'S OLD WARSHIPS
GOING into JUNK HEAPS
Gunboats Captured by Dewey at
Manila Sold for Scrap
Iron.

Gradually the old Spanish warships
captured at Manila bay and in Cuban
waters during the Spanish-American
war are passing into junk and are being
disposed of by the American Govern
Inent
In this connection. considerable inter
est has been created in naval circles by
the report from Manila that the wooden
gunboats Albay, Mindanao and Maileno,
which came into possession of Admiral
Dewey and the navy during and follow
ing the battle on May Day, 1898, have
been sold at auction by the naval COM
mandant at Olongapo, for the insignifi-
cant sum of S6,606. Some time ago these
three vessels were condemned as junk
and ordered sold at pubic auction.
OF these three vessels, the Mindanao
was in the harbor of Manila during the
battle. She was not able to participate,
however, as she was dismantled and had
been out Of commission for some time.
The other two boats were ON special ser
vice among the Islands, being used by
the Spanish customs officials Shortly
after the war they were taken over by
the American Government from Spain
for few thousand dollars each ana
turned over to the War Department.
They were transferred in the fall of 1893
TO the Navy, since when they have been
the islands In the meantime, the Min
danao was fitted out and put into COM
mission for the same service, and all
three vessels gave good service in the
Philippines during the insuTreCtion.
The three ships are OF about 200 tons
each and equipped with only a few small
guns. Together with the VillalObOS. FL
Cano and Callao. and other Spanish YES
sells of that class, they composed a some
what formidable gunbOat squadron for
service among the islands and up the
