FIRE DESTROYS OLD "ST. LOUIS"
 IN NAVY YARD
Steamship Served In Two Wars As Cruiser and
 Transport.

New York, Jan. 22.-The passenger steamship St. Louis, with record of having served with distinction through two wars in which the Unit ed States was a belligerant, and in the interval carrying passengers across the Atlantic under the Amert- can flag, is now blackened hull, the victim of a fire started by painters torch.
 The big ship was being recondition- ed at ship yard for service after the "colors'' when the accident took place. Her owners, the American Line, say she can be repaired, but it will mean practically rebuilding her and 1t Is a task of many months.
 The St. Louis was christened by Mrs. Grover Cleveland. The recon struction and launching was an epoch in American shipbuilding. It was the first ocean greyhound to be built in this country. She made her first voyage in June of 1895. Under a contract with the American govern ment she was entrusted with the fast mail of England and Europe.
 Under command of Captain W. Goodrich, U. s. N., she was equipped with heavy guns as an auxiliary cruis-
 
 first adventure of note was when she was ordered to cut the cable between Santiago de Cuba and Kingston, Ja- mafca. Running up until she was under the direct fire of the guns of Morro Castle, American gunners sent back shot for shot and succeeded tn sflencing all but the mortar batteries of the fortifcation, while sailors were fishing out and cutting the cable line.
 On June 13, 1898, she captured the British freighter Twickenham which was taking a cargo of coal into San tiago presumably to be used for the Spanish fleet. She 7gas off that port when Admiral Cervera made his dash for the open sea, and she brought to Portsmouth, N. H., the captured Spanish Admiral and 746 members of the crew of his defeated fleet.
 In 1917 when the United States joined the war against Germany, the St. Louis was one of the first Ameri- can passenger ships to be armed and to defy the German submarines and mines. She had many narrow es- capes, and once was actually hit oy a torpedo but without serious dam age. She carried to and from France thousands of American soldiers and she was one of the last ships to be released from war duty to return to pursuits of peace.
