SALE Of THE DETROIT
AFTER EVENTFU[ CAREER
Vessel Costing Nearly $780,
600 Will Be Disposed of as
Obsolete for $4,000.

The sale of the cruiser Detroit, now at
the Boston navy yard, for $4,000 is in
accordance with the policy adopted by
the Navy Department of disposing of all
obsolete naval vessels. But some wonder
has been expressed at the fact that a
vessel which less than a score of years
ago was accounted one of the best and
swiftest Of her type af1oat, and which cost
almost 100000 to build, should now go
for the relatively paltry sum of $4,000.
That price, of course, does not include the
guns or equipments; it is merely for the
stripped hulk.
Built in 1891 the cruiser had an eventful
career. Three years after she had been
commissioned she fired the first warlike
shot that had been sent from a warship
Of this nation within period of thirty
years. That was at the time of the
Cana revolution in Brazil. She had been
delegated by Rear Admiral Benham to
convoy two American merchantmen to
their piers at Rio de Janeiro. Insurgent
vessels made a threatening demonstration,
which ended when the Detroit fired a Shot
across the bow of the nearest Brazilian
ship.
In the next year the Detroit was sent to
Italy to get the Vatican exhibits loaned
to the Columbian exposition. She then
made g. cruise to the east. The vessel
did conspicuous service in the Spanish
American war. She captured the Span
ish steamer Catalina, a prize valued at
forts at San Juan did more execution
among the guns of the shore battery
than any other ship of Admiral Samp-
sons squadron.

REVOLUTION IN MEXICO
Of SMALL IMPORTANCE
Views of Judge Whitley, Who
Has Been Studying Min
ing Conditions There.

NEW YORK, January Judge Leb-
beus r. Wiley, who was the first Judge
Of the United States court in Shanghai,
China, has just arrived in New York from
Mexico. where he has been for a year
studying mining conditions. Judge Will
fey declares that the revolutionary move
ment in Mexico is of small Importance.
1T is a gross exaggeration to call this
disturbance revolution. said Judge
Wiley THE uprising was without or
ganization, and was promptly suppressed
by the clever head and strong hand of
President Diaz. Nothing remains now
but a guerrilla warfare in the mountains.
Uncertainty Among People.
But it is true that a spirit of uncer-
tainty pervades all classes, which is
chiefly due to anxiety regarding Presi-
dent Diaz's successor. Ramon Corral the
vice president, is very ill man, and it
Is not believed he will regain his health.
President Diaz is eighty years old, and
hence the question of choosing a sue
cessor is vital to the Mexicans and also
to the foreigners who have interests In
the country.
1.-The future president of Mexico must
be able to control the army, and also
have the sympathy of the people. If such
a man is selected there will be no dis
turbance., A factor that is helping the
situation is the policy of substituting
younger and more progressive governors
of provinces for those who have been
In Office"
Judge Wiley will leave New York next
week for his home in st. Louis.
