Washington, April 14:-Shattered
and shot ridden already in the inter-
est of naval progress, the poor old
battleship San Marcos, In the days
of her glory called the Texas, Is to
undergo another ordeal April IL In
Chesapeake Bay, when the monitor
Tallahassee, formerly the Florida,
will lombard her with twelve inch
guns from varying ranges. Inc ola
ship Is to serve INC more and prob
ably for the last time as a target for
ordnance practice to obtain technical
data for the navy department. The
San Marcos now lies in the mud OF
the bay as the result of the lombard
ment she received from the battle
ship New Hampshire some weeks
age. tits expected that after the
Tallahassee exercise with the San
Marcos the old ship will go to the
Junk heap. 1t is interesting to re-
call that this vessel as the battlesh1p
Texas took a prominent part In the
great naval battle off Santiago in
1898. The Texas was renamed be
cause a bigger and ever battleship
needed her old name. The monitor
which is to annihilate her also gave
up the name Florida to a new battle
shin.
