WARSHIP STRANDED"
ITS CREW PENNILESS
Peru Owes French Government
$4,000 for Cruiser
"BOught" in 1911.
Special cable Besp0tc1 to Tur Sen

PARIS. Aug 30 The old French cruiser
Dupuy de Lone. rechristened the Com
mandante Aguirre. lies IN the roadstead
at I.orient practically as she was in 1911 4.
when the Peruvian Government agreed
to purchase her for S73.OO. She IL now
held for debt. no payment ever having been
made by Peru.
Several hundred Peruvians have made
the long trip from the west coast Of South
Amer ica to take possession Of the Dupuy
de LONE and to sal her home. These men
are now without ship to sail and also are
without the means to get back home them
selves. Either by reason or necessity
the Peruvian Government has withheld
funds for their pay as well as for the ships
price Of S75OOO.
Two police boats guard the old cruiser
to prevent any attempt TO take her away.
The holding Of the vessel is at the order Of
the French Minister OF Marine. Two years
I'm vs passed since the agreement was
rea ched for the INA yment of the G5.nOo. and
the French have begun to doubt the good
will of the Pcruvans Some time ago
when the Peruvian crew came to take pos
session further demands were made for
of Marine that the cruiser would not sail
until the debt was cleared. The $4,000
asked is hardly more than she Is worth as
scrap.
Efforts have been made to secure trans
portation for the Peruvians. inasmuch as
the debt does not seem likely to ne paid
But the Peruvian Minister refuses to for
ward the TRANSPORTATION expenses until the
I .k.xlx I'D, ,s,I NhA
, time the Pcruvans are penniiess and are
living on the generosity of inhabitants.
They are praying for their departure for
home.
The Dupuv de LONE. one Of the imposing
and formidable ships Of the early 's0s. can
hardly be classed now as third class cruiser
She was built in 1880 ut Brest and has a
length OF a7a feet. with a displacement OF
only o, 900 tons. Her bow was made a ram
and has the appearance Of the nose Of a
whale. Her thickest armor is four and
| three quarter inches.
The Dupuy de LONE carries two seven
and a half inch guns. six six and a quarter
inch four nine Founders. twelve three
Founders and four torpedo tubes.
The cruiser was named Dupuy de LONE
in honor OF the celebrated French maritime
engineer to " HON France was indebted fol
