the bridge where Philip stood when
Cervera went forth to face his great
defeat was riddled until it was a tan
gled mass Of shattered steel, and her
decks were piled deep in the debris
made by the New Hampshire's shells.
Nobody who saw the San Marcos
after that test believed that she would
ever again face the fire Of a modern
battleship. The New Hampshire is not
dreadnought, and now that the At
lantic fleet has four ships of that type
1t was decided some weeks ago that
the time to find out what a dread
nought could do to a battleship had
arrived, and so they decided to patch
up the old San Marcos and use her as
target for the Delaware, which rep
resented the United States at the coro-
nation Of King George.
The test taking place today in the
Chesapeake will be the first of the
kind in which an American dread
nought has figured. 1t is said that
every one OF the ten big guns on the
Delaware will be used. A broadside
of the ten twelve-inch guns will be
fired. This broadside will be the great
est in destructive power ever fired by
single battleship In the history of
this navy. 1t Is believed that 1t will
end the career Of the old Texas forever.

the liberal prizes-which aggregate about

the Warrenton show also takes place
this week, the number OF entries would

A flying machine is. another new attrac

weather prevailed today for the tests
of the guns of the battleship Delaware
against the hulk of the San Marcos,
or old battleship Texas. in the waters OF
Tangier sound near the eastern shore
of Virginia These tests were observed
by 1900 men aboard sixteen battleships
and cruisers of Rear Admiral Osterhaus'

day from Hampton roads to Tangier for
this purpose.
The fleet will return to the roads for
coal and other supplies before leaving

In Battle of Santiago.
The first time the old Texas was under
fire was at the battle Of Santiago,
when she gained q worldwide fame as
the ship commanded by the late Admiral.
then Capt. Jack Philip.
After that the Texas came home, but
the only sister Of the Inflated Maine
was obsolete even then, and soon passed
o.
ago, when Congress voted to build two
dreadnoughts to carry fourteen-inch
instead of twelve-inch guns, the Navy
Department decided that the time had
come for the Texas to change her name.
SO that the one which she had borne
SO gloriously might be given in turn
to a new dreadnought, sister to the New
York.
So they changed the Texas to the
San Marcos, and the officials of the
Navy Department wondered what to
do with Philips old ship. Last March
they found a use for her. She was
designated as a target to test the
penetrating power of the twelve-inch
shells used by the Atlantic fleet. The
battleship New Hampshire got the job
of bombarding the ancient battleship.
Chesapeake bay was the scene Of the
firing test, and when 1t was all over
the San Marcos looked as II she had
been through a dozen battles Of San
tiago instead Of one.

and had the effect Of defining the re-

by the highest desire OF triendliness.
