AN ANTl0UATED GUN.
"El Camille" at West Point, a Relic of
the Mexican War.

"Ei Camille at West Point, a Relic of
the Mexican War.
Among the old guns from past wars
on Trophy point there is one that Is
fondly remembered by every graduate
of the West Point Military academy.
1t is @El CamiIo," literally "the camel
a relic of the Mexican war, but dating
far back of that.
This Anticipated piece Of ordnance,
which is three parts silver and painted
a light green, bears its name and the
royal coat of arms of Spain over an
inscription relating that it was the
property of the regiment OF the Golden
Fleece, commissioned under Ferdinand
and Isabella at the time when Column
bus set out on his famous voyage to
discover a new world Tt would be
interesting to know what the Spanish
grantees would have Thought II they
could have foreseen that the very can
non which probably thundered god
speed to the explorer would q day be
captured by the unborn nation o. the
undiscovered continent to which CO.
iunbus was bound. The ancient gun
was probably earrted TO Me+fcc as
part of the armament Of q Spanish
ship and many years later was pressed
into service in the Mexican army,
where the ''sinews of war; were al
ways at a premium. 1t was taken
at Monterey by the Americans and
sent TO West Point as the most appro-
pirate place for such an interesting
relic.-New York Press.

SEVEN CRUISERS
IS LATEST REPORT
With Possibly the Maryland
Cruisers Are Short
Handed Yet.

Five armorei cruisers Of tho Pacific
feet, as well rs the protected cruisers
Raleigh and Cincinnati, will probably.
compose tho feet which win leave Mare
Island between September Is aud ooto.
Der for Honolulu to engage In battle
maneuvers in Hawaiian waters, accord
ing to the latest report.
On August II there was a rumor at
Mare Island navy yard that the cruiser
Maryland might be ordered to accom-
pany the other vessels Of tho Pacific
feet instead of remaining in the lower
bay while President Taft was in San
Francisco. Repair work on the Mary
land had been ordered rushed.
The old gunboat Alert, which has
been out of commission at Mare Island
since it was succeeded in the naval
reserve of California by the cruiser
Marblehead, win be converted into an
ordnance ship for submarines. The
Alert win be equipped with a high
power generator, which is to recharge
the batteries of the Pike and Grampus.
An apparatus is to be installed for
hoisting the two submarines to the
deck of the mother snip where they
are to be carried whenever the water
is too rough for navigation by the
smaller crafts. Whether the Alert will
accompany the fleet here is not stated.
Every cruiser now stationed at Mare
Island is shorthanded despite the fact
that efforts are being made to secure
every possible recruit in time for the
battle practise off the Hawaiian coast
this fall. The flagship California is
the worst sufferer in the feet at pres
ent, there being shortage of fifty
men in the engne-room alone. The
Raleigh and Cincinnati have been ready
for sea for six months, but have been
held back on account of the shortage
in men.
The men themselves claim the work
has been harder in the navy in the
past four years than at any time pre-
vious. Thousands of recruits were Sc
cured at the time of the globe-circling
trip of the Atlantic batlHship feet,
but these enlIstments have run out.
While the torpedo-boat destroyers are
at Mare Island their towing gear will
be installed for their trip to Honolulu.
They will be towed by the cruisers.
