Gunboat Bancroft Fitted as Revenue
Cutter Schoolship.

The gunboat Bancroft, which the Navy
Department will turn over to the revenue
cutter service, is now ready to be transfer
red, and Capt. w. G. Ross, chief of the
revenue cutter service, has gone to Nor
folk to receive the ship from the command
ant of the navy yard at that place. The
Bancroft will still be carried on the naval
list of vessels, as she rs but loaned to the
revenue cutter service, but it is generally
understood that the vessel will remain per-
haps permanently in the revenue service
AS soon as the vessel is turned over to
Capt Ross she will be taken to the service
and will be put in shape for service the
training ship for revenue cadets The rev.
enue cutter Window will convey the Ban
croft up the bay to Baltimore.
The Bancroft will take the place of the
old bark Chase, which for twenty more
years has been the training ship of the
revenue cutter service and aboard her the
present classes of cadets will take their
summer cruise of instruction. She was
built as a training ship for the Naval
Academy, but proved too small for that
service, and in recent years she has been
laid up the greater part of the time. The
Bancroft was built at Elizabethport, N. j.,
in 1893, and is steel hulled ship. She is
draft of u feet inches. Her speed is
14.37 knots per hour, and she is schooner
rugged
1t is stated that the revenue cutter ser
vice officials are much pleased at obtaining
the vessel for use as q training ship.
What disposition will be made of the old
Chase is not known.

To the Editor of The Starr

your readers may wish to know something
of this ancient city that is now the center
of international diplomacy. With the ex-
ception of Tarifa, 1t is the southernmost
city in Spain, and is beautifully situated on
the west side of the bay of Gibraltar about
five miles from Gibraltar and twenty miles
from Tangier, Morocco. Steamers ply fire.
quently between Gibraltar and AIgeciras
the terminus of the only railroad in the
southern part of Spain. This railroad was
built and financed by the English. While
the owners of the road preferred to have
the terminus at Gibraltar, the Spanish gov
eminent stipulated particularly in the fran
chise that the terminus should be on the
other side of the bay and In Spanish terri
tory. This road forms the great and only
chain of overland communication between
London. Gibraltar and the Mediterranean.
Owing to the steep grade, tunnels and the
unstable nature of the soil in many places
1t proved a very expensive undertaking.
AIgecras presents a pretty picture as seen
from the deck of a steamer. It's houses be-
ing almost entirely painted white.
The town was considered a stronghold of
much Importance during the occupation OF
the Moors and was about the last place
vacated by the faithful of Mahomet II. 1t
suffered several sieges, but was captured
by Alfonso XI In 1874 although retaken
and destroyed by Mahomet II of Granada
III 1870. About four hundred years later 1t
was rebuilt and converted by Charles III
into watch tower to spy the operations of
the English across the bay.
Like most Spanish cities 1t has it's public
square. upon which is built the town hail.
in which the deliberations of Moroccan at
fairs are now being held. The town Is of
considerable size and has q population of
about 1900. The city is supplied with
water by the splendid aqueduct built by the
Moors. There are many remains of the
walls that once surrounded this ancient city
