honorary pallbearera But there was one other
courtesy which international etiquette pre-
scribes shall be offered under such sad circum-
stances. In accordance with the usage OF
friendly nations the president OF the United
States cabled to the president Of Chile offer
ing the use Of a United States warship to con-
vey on his last journey home the body OF the
deceased diplomatist The offer was accepted
and the Delaware has been assigned to act as
funeral barge on this voyage of thousands OF
miles to Valparaiso and return. In accordance,
however with the wishes Of the Cruz family
the battleship did not start on her journey Inn
mediately after the funeral. but the trip was
deferred until this month, the hag-draped cas-
ket reposing in the meantime In a receiving
vault in a cemetery at Washington.
The United States government has been
called upon twice before, within comparative
ly few years, to convey home the bodies OF emit
nent Pan-American statesmen who have died
In this country. Some years ago the body OF
an ambassador of Mexico was thus conveyed
home In state and only year ago similar hon.
ors were paid to the remains Of the late Senior
Nabuco. who was for years the ambassador Of
Brazil at our seat of government On neither
occasion however, was there employed for the
service so imposing a vessel as the Delaware.
That the ofHcials and the public of Chile
viii appreciate the significance Of Uncle Sans
sending his largest and finest warship is the
expectation of the American authorities and
there is plain intent to thus create an espe-
cially favorable impression-possibly the more
so because Chile is one of those South Ameri-
can countries with which the United States
has at times in the past been on the verge Of
iii feeling and II is the desire of our statesmen
TO ailay any lingering suspicious and cement
friendship In this quarter. The Delaware was
not. of course. member of the round-the-world
squadron that visited Chilean ports several
years ago so that not only viii she be q nov
city to eyes beyond the Andes but she viii az

to inspect an example of the worlds latest

means that she is fully onefcurth larger or
heavier than any other vessel now in commits
sion in our navy except her sister ship. the
North Dakota She is also the speediest OF all
our battieships built or building, being capable
of gait Of "a or rs miles per hour. which Is

and which willk enable her to make good time

sity should arise.
The Delaware is the heaviest armed Of all
our "peacemakers." excepting of course her
twin sister. the North Dakota. She carries ten
of the big Pinch guns four of which were
few years ago considered ample for any battle
ship, and in addition she has ranged on her
sides IA of the tremendously effective b-inch
guns, to say nothing Of whole array OF smaller
naval shooting irons" Some of these latter

ones used on the present cruise and then merely
for firing salutes. The Delaware has ships

There are three distinct classes in Neapoli-
tan society-it would be better to call them
castes-the nobility and aristocracy the gal
antuomini" or middle classes, and the 'laz-
zaroni" or the submerged multitude"
The first class 1t is unnecessary to de-
scribe, the other classes live side by side,
and are yet distinct and hostile They diner
In religious and political convictions In NOR
ais, in social customs, IN food and clothing
The galantuomini include the shopkeepers,
the small manufacturers tradesmen. book
keepers, persons engaged In clerical occupa-
TONS and practically all who are compelled
to earn their living, but who are not engaged
In manual labor.
They are generally liberal and often radical
in politics. The men express an open IN
difference and often contempt for the church.
but require their wives and daughters to OBJ
serve all the conventional religious duties.
and they themselves never fail to reach for
crucifx or call for q priest whenever they
imagine their own lives to be in danger.
They are fond Of dress and display and In
dulge their taste as far as their means will
permit, but their wives aud daughters are
kept in seclusion and are never allowed to
leave the house without duennas to protect
them
The iaxzaroni regard with contempt as
well as aversion the families of the galan-
tuomini, who are not wealthy and have to
struggle to keep up appearances. The laz-
zaroni are strongly attached to the nobility,
have often given practical evidences of loyal
ty and on several occasions have been Of SUI
preme service to the crown.

Delaware's trip win naturally be compared
that worid-astonishing first leg" of the mem
orable round-the-world cruise when Rear Ad-
miral Bob" Evans led feet of 16 battleships
around the lower half Of our continent. In that
event conspicuously was there exemplihed the
adage that IN union there Is strength, and
aside from the seli-confdence inspired by the
coordinate sction of whole feet of battle
ships there was the further insurance against
the unexpected offered by the presence with
the fleet OF repair ship, supply ships and ma
val colliers. The Delaware. on the other hand,

the seafaring men say.
However without Understanding the pres
tigs that win come to the Delaware through
ell these unusual attributes Of her present trip.
Il must be admitted that the greatest signii-
canoe Of all attaches to this 1911 cruise be-
cause Of the mission OF the Delaware. The
feet OF battleships that visited South Ameri-
can ports couple OF years ago went solely
on the initiative Of President Roosevelt as

specific mission OF coincidence. out Of respect

be a bad idea either, for the Latin-Amer1cans
are very Jealous of receiving their due need OF
respect and recognition from their big brother
of the north. This focusing Of the attention
of people on the east coast of South America
will come about through the circumstance that
the Delaware, being unattended by coal or sup
ply ships, will find 1t necessary en- route to and
from Chile to put in at ports in Brazil. Argen-
tina and other places for fuel, supplies. etc.
