FIRST SPANISH FLAG HAULED DOWN IN PORTO RICO

effected a landing at York, under cover
of a fire of grape from the ships, cleared
way through the Indians and sharp
shooters that the English had formed to
oppose them, and stormed the batteries.
The capture of York resulted not only in

flags have reposed in the boxes at the
Naval Academy and no one seems 10
have taken much interest in them'
About a year ago the boxes were opene9
and it was seen. that unless something
were done to prevent further damage
the naval trophies of the United States
would exist only as dusty shreds.
Among the most interesting Of these
banners that are now to be saved from
the moths is a British royal standard.
We have the only British royal standard
captured and held by any nation 1t Is
not in very good repair, but with patient
and skilled work 1T can be put into con-
diton for exhibition in future patriotic
museums. The royal flag was captured
at York. Canada, April 81. 1913, and Is
one Of the most interesting trophies OF
many taken during the last war with
Great Britain.

be valued as the nations most highly
treasured possession. Almost every
banner in the collection. which numbers
$50 flags, is the trophy of deed of hero
ism that won a place in American MIS-
tory. Many were taken from the great
est naval nation in the world, when the
British flag was struck at the demand OF
victorious American sailors.
These flags are in danger of destruc-
ton through neglect, and the Navy
League of the United States, through its
president, General Horace Porter, of
New York, has appealed to the Secre-
tary Of the Navy to take steps TO have
the flags renovated before the natural
process Of decay has ruined them past
repair The matter is before Congress-
and there is no doubt that the necessary
appropriation will he forthcoming to
have the flags restored.
1t is estimated that the work can be
done at cost Of about $4,000. The
plan is to have the tattered flags backed
with a linen mesh. This mesh of fine
linen will have to be especially imported
from Ireland. and to complete the work
1900 yards will be needed. The cost OF
the linen will be only $500. but as the
work is very difficult and can only he
intrusted to skilled needlewomen, it will
bring the total cost mp to the amount
stated The estimate figures on the
services of 100 expert seamstresses,
working 200 days to finish the work.
Moths have been responsible to some
extent for the dilapidated condition of

The gunfre Of the American ship cut the

hundred round shot had taken effect In

Among the last captures Of the War Of
1912 was the British ship cyane, the en-

Annapolis. This capture was made by
the Constitution on February 20. 1915
The Constitution at that time mounted
ffty-two guns and carried crew OF 40

ship, mounting in all thirty-four guns.
With her was the Levant, a new twenty

struck to the Constitution the Levant,
which had been forced out Of the fight,
came back and was also captured. This

having taken possession about two
weeks ago and has been giving the place
thorough overhauling and renovating.
The Office has been the scene of much
activity and presents a splendid appear

moved, making a large and commodious
office and reading room combined. The
upper floor has also been refurnished with
neat and modern furniture and the
house has been re-decorated throughout,
which gives it very attractive and
thoroughly businessliks appearance.
Mr.. Epley is an experienced hotel man,
having come here from Hartford, where
he was the popular proprietor of the

Mrs. Johnson told much of the strange

the proposed plant is that it will be

be no iCdtered stock. This paper will
undoubtedly be able to announce the en-
tire personnel in the proposed plant
within the next two weeks, aud we feel
assured from the information at hand
that good substantial concern will be
perfected very soon. The growing de-
mands for grape juice is we'll known,
and as one prominent grape Juice sales
man said at the meeting, ut is far easier
to sell % cases of grape juice now than
it was to sell one case few years ago,
and at this writing some of the larger
plaLts in the United States are sold
completely out of juice and are trying
to buy Juice from the other plants. We
trust that the growers and business men
OF Paw Paw and vicinity will aid in
everyway possible to encourage the per-
lection of this plant to the mutual ben
eft Of all.
