who have studied the location of the
three battleships and two torpedo
boats are of the opinion that their sal
wage is practicable and would warrant
the expense Of saving the hulls.
Seven miles west Of the narrow
mouth to Santiago harbor lies the first
of Cervera's bottled-up battlcships, the
Almirante Oquendo. She is beached in
the breakers Of Juan Gonzales. with
about one third of her hulk visible
above the white tops Long ago she
was stripped of every portable article
by wreckers who braved a watery
grave for the prizes she was reputed
to have held, including, it is believed,
many thousand gold coins from the
ships safe.
Admiral Cervera's flagship, the Viz
caya, lies eight miles further down the
coast, as much a victim of the depre-
dation of ocean junkmen as the Oqueo-
do. a third Of her form breaks the
landline, and ii is believed that there
would be comparatively little difficulty
The Calumet news. [volume] (Calumet, Mich.) 1907-1938, 1911-09-13

in recovering her, although she would
be entirely worthless as a vessel of
war.
Nearly two hours sail from the Viz
caya, at Rio Torquino. forty eight
miles from this city, is the third of the
four Spanish ships, the Cristobal Col
on. The Colon has been preserved
from the hand of the vandal by four
fSthoms of water above her. Locked
in her safe there is said to be a large
amount of money: aboard her nothing
has been disturbed since she was ST.
fenced by American guns and run
ashore to prevent her capture. Her
salvage would probably be the most
difficult of the three, engineers assert.
The Infanta Maria Teresa was float
ed by Lieut.. Richmond p. Hobson. of
Merrimac fame, and lost i'm tow of an
American war vessel during n squall
off Cat island. Engineers have decreed
her beyond and unworthy of u second
attempt at salvage.
These two secondary vessels of Ad-
miral Cervera's fleet, the torpedo boats
Furor and Pluton, lie submerged not
far from the harbor entrance. Both lie
i'm comparatively shallow water.

theological training was received at
Knox College. Toronto. For a num-
Der Of years he served as Presbyter-
ian missionary i'm the Canadian North
west, and his experiences there, with
his early knowledge of Glengarry, fur
nished him with material which he has
made good use Of I'm his literary work.
He has produced a class of fiction,
thoroughly Canadian and largely of
pioneer life. which stands alone. His

weeks each potato will be covered
with small white points. which a few
days later are changed into rapidly

peace between Germany and France
over the Moroccan question is finan-
cial War cannot be conducted with
out money and those VINO control the
money are opposed 20 Il. IL is pos
sible that such a crisis will develop
as viii make recourse to arms neces-
sary despite the opposition OF the n
nancial powers but they are an inn
portant factor in the present situa-
ton.
War is an expensive luxury, as Ger
many has already discovered and as
Japan Is now realizing to its discom-
fort And the loss TO a country so
situated as Germany would be vastly
greater than the actual cost OF con-
Quoting the campaign. 1t has great
Industrial interests which are neces-
sarily closely related with other ma
tons. not alone through the channels
of ordinary trade but through the
credit system. Germany is naturally
doing much business with foreign
money. How powerful for peace this
fact may prove is indicated by the
sudden, unexpected and acute finan-
cial furry that has already been ex-
perienced in the land Of the Kaiser.
The furry, Il is stated has been In
tensely annoying 10 German states
men. II may be that II indicates the
most vulnerable point OF the nation.
At any rate IL indicates one sourceI
from which strong pressure, both att
home and abroad, is being eXerted
for peace.
