Battleship Reina Mercedes, Captured by the Americans in the Fight at Santiago. Now, at last, at rest in Portsmouth Navy Yard, where she will remain for countless generations as a visible evidence of American naval prowess, is the big steel cruiser, Reina Mercedes, captured from Spain at Santiago. Equipped with a submarine ram, torpedo tubes, sponsons and an armament of breech-loading rifles, this splendid modern fighting ship is the finest war trophy in possession of our government. Japan is the only other power in the world with modern warships captured from an enemy. England has not been engaged in a naval war since modern battleships came in, and her navy is untried and destitute of any such visible evidence of modern naval prowess. The former Chinese warships now in the Japanese navy and the former Spanish vessels now in the American navy, of which the Reina Mercedes is by far the largest and most valuable specimen, possess therefore a peculiar value and interest. The Reina Mercedes reached her permanent berth at Portsmouth only a few weeks ago. She is now receiving temporary repairs. At present there is no specific sum available for re-equipping this valuable souvenir of Santiago, but Congress will probably be asked this winter to appropriate an amount sufficient to make her quite presentable. With the care and attention which characterize the government's supervision of war relics, it is reasonable to expect that the rejuvenated Reina Mercedes will be a potential object lesson in American naval history when the babies of today are grandparents. berth deck and clanks against the hull with a hollow echo following after. The wind whistles hoarsely through the wreckage, and suddenly the breech of a torpedo tube tangs smartly against the bolt latch. In the moonlight ghostly figures seem to beckon in the shadows of the hull. When Hobson and his men lay clinging to a raft in the murky waters of Santiago Bay after the sinking of the Merrimac, a launch containing Admiral Cervera picked them up and conveyed them to the Reina Mercedes, which had fired several torpedoes at them previously. There they were cared for as brave men care for intrepid foemen, and fed and clothed. The Reina Mercedes, the Reina Christina and the Alfonso XIII were sister ships of the same class. Latterly they had been used in Spain's transport service on account of their relatively high speed. At the battle of Manila the Reina Christina was Admiral Montojo's flagship till her destruction by Dewey's gunners made his withdrawal to Isla de Luzon imperative. The Alfonso XIII had no battle experiences. But the Reina Mercedes took a notable and strenuous part in the Spanish-American war. Prior to the bombardment of Santiago by Admiral Sampson's fleet her boilers had given out, and so General Toral had ordered two of her biggest guns dismounted and placed among the shore defenses. On June 6, 1898, when Schley's squadron, comprising the Massachusetts, Texas, Marblehead, Vixen and Suwanee, turned to the left off the narrow entrance to Santiago harbor, they caught the Reina Mercedes in momentary range. While both squadrons bombarded the land batteries the Massachusetts and Texas raked the Reina Mercedes. For three hours a terrific duel was through haze of fire. Wisdom that Drops Like Pearls Lips of a Democratic News The San Francisco Examiner during the war with Spain and diately thereafter was shown American doctrine, but which the past campaign wheeled ushouted for the Kansas City has been able to see "through of this defeat" why Bryan elected to the Presidency upon the subject the day after it said: Through the haze of this democracy can see the victory might have been. Beyond all Bryan would have been triumphant but for two things. The first was the intrusive silver issue. Free silver was so unpopular that even its coats enough to drag any man down. The second was the policy of loose entirely from the Phi That was not in accord with of the American people. The people have evidently their minds to dispose of fire once for all. The effort was fluous, for free silver had exist as a possible policy fugue, but the voters were do not have the remains lying any longer. The Democratic party has two defeats for the adoption of popular and discredited issue.ver was defensible in 1896, even then its advocates had a fight. But everything that pened in the past four years he bury it deeper in the gravel obsolete issues. Russia, Japan a dozen minor nations have been standard countries. Even America silver is steadily ground, and Mexico is almost important friend it has left. new gold has filled the monetary nels of the world. Every argument the silver Veterans Meet. The Orange County Veterans' association met at Westminster on Thursday. Two hundred members and friends present. It was the largest and interesting meeting that has been in the county. The business meet was called and the election of officers was made before the dinner hour. Banquet was served in the large in the Odd Fellows' building. The mens of Westminster were very hospitable in their entertainment. The morning session was opened with her by the Rev. Mr. Junkin, of Westminster. The address of welcome Rev. J. McMilan, of Westminster, responded to by W. M. Scott, of Santa Ana. The Westminster orchestra furnished music. Miss Minna Roper and Miss Sisson sang solos. Short addresses were made by Captain J. H. Hall, Dr. W. Hasson, J. A. Booty, Mr. Bibber Rev. McMilan. Needs deaths during the year were reeled in the county. The meeting led by singing "America." The following are the newly elected members of the association: President, D. W. Hasson of Buena Park; vice-presidents, F. M. Wilbur of Orange, Rice of Tustin, O. J. Bush of Westchester; secretary, A. B. Paul of Santa Ana; treasurer, Captain J. H. Hall of Santa Ana; executive committee, J. L. Boy of Garden Grove, J. W. McKinion of Buena Park, H. Fairbanks of Santa Ana; chaplain, Rev. A. L. Dearof Santa Ana. Have used Chamberlain's Collecera and Diarrhoe Remedy and find it a great medicine," says Mr. E. Whipps, of Potente, Ark. "It cured bloody flux." I cannot speak too well of it. This remedy always is the good opinion, if not praise, of who use it. The quick cures which it effects even in the most severe make it a favorite everywhere. Sale by P. A. Derge. Thanksgiving. Governor Gage has issued the follow-Thanksgiving proclamation: An obedience to the universal and newworthy American custom of set apart a day for public thanksgiving prayer to Almighty God, and furnish in conformity with the proclamation of the President of the United States of America, I, as Governor of State of California, do proclaim the ninth day of November, 1900, thanksgiving day and a legal holiday." Now reflect upon the sentimental considerations. Already the government has paid a large sum to the wrecking company that raised the Reina Mercedes and towed her to Newport News after more than two months' hard work. Last week Rear Admiral Cromwell and Captain Harrington, who are on duty at the Portsmouth Navy Yard, ordered a coat of white paint put on the ship to preserve her and make her little more presentable. Previously men had been at work clipping off the scales and iron rust that made her look like a sunburned and freckled permanent berth at Portsmouth only a few weeks ago. She is now receiving temporary repairs. At present there is no specific sum available for re-equipping this valuable souvenir of Santiago, but Congress will probably be asked this winter to appropriate an amount sufficient to make her quite presentable. With the care and attention which characterize the government's supervision of war relics, it is reasonable to expect that the rejuvenated Reina Mercedes will be a potential object lesson in American naval history when the babies of today are grandparents. Consider the worth of this ship and what she stands for, materially and sentimentally, and the keen interest the nation has in her restoration and preservation. The Reina Mercedes is 275 feet 10 inches long, 42 feet 7 inches beam and 16 feet 5 inches draught, a single screw steel-hulled vessel, quite as large as many of the trans-Atlantic liners, having more than 3000 tons, displacement. She was bark rigged and carried a complement of nearly 400 men. She had no protective deck, but in 1887, when the Reina Mercedes was built at Cathagena, protective decks were a rarity. Her speed, 17.5 knots, made her a valuable integer in Spain's maritime possessions. There are no ships in the American navy with which any sort of precise comparison may be made, but the Boston and Atlanta are of the same length and displacement, though much heavier in armament and with greater indicated horse power. In condition, the Reina Mercedes was much swifter than our Chicago, Boston or Atlanta. She had five fixed torpedo tubes and one launching carriage. Her coal capacity was 600 tons, and when launched, thirteen years ago, her indicated horse power was 4800. From neglect and mismanagement this subsequently fell to 3700 horse power. Her armament consisted of six 6.2-inch Hontoria breechloaders, mounted in sponsors; two 2.7-inch Hontorias, three 6-pounder rapid-fire guns, two machine guns, two 4-pounders and six three-pounders. In May, 1898, before our fleet penned Cervera in Santiago Harbor, two of the 6-inch guns were removed and mounted on the crest of Socapa Battery, on the left of the entrance to the harbor. These guns fired shells weighing 112 pounds. One in the aft sponsor, port side, of the Reina Mercedes, all rusted and covered with barnacles today, is alone worth a trip to the Portsmouth Navy Yard to see.So much for the material side. Now reflect upon the sentimental considerations. Already the government has paid a large sum to the wrecking company that raised the Reina Mercedes and towed her to Newport News after more than two months' hard work.

Governor Gage has issued the following Thanksgiving proclamation: An obedience to the universal and seworthy American custom of setapart a day for public thanksgiving prayer to Almighty God, and furin conformity with the proclamation of the President of the United States of America, I, as Governor of State of California, do proclaim the duty-ninth day of November, 1900, thanksgiving day and a legal holiday. Get Into Line! The contract with the Anaheim Fruit Association will be closed on December 2000. In view of the large crop of fruit to be marketed during the on of 1900-1901, it behooves the owners to be looking for a market for fruit. The Anaheim Fruit association, though its affiliation with the SouthCalifornia Fruit exchange, has unled facilities for disposing of fruit quiltly and at the best average rates for the season. Now reflect upon the sentimental considerations. Already the government has paid a large sum to the wrecking company that raised the Reina Mercedes and towed her to Newport News after more than two months’ hard work. Last week Rear Admiral Cromwell and Captain Harrington, who are on duty at the Portsmouth Navy Yard, ordered a coat of white paint put on the ship to preserve her and make her a little more presentable. Previously men had been at work clipping off the scales and iron rust that made her look like a sunburned and freckled giantess. As she now lies tightly hawsered to the stone bulkheads just outside the big dry dock, her topmasts gone, her side scarred and her vitals sorely wounded, the Reina Mercedes seems a fitting tombstone to Spain’s American possessions. On every side the wreck and havoc of war mutely appeal to the looker on in Portsmouth. Great iron deck girders, with big mouthfuls cleanly bitten out; twisted steam pipes, looking like uncanny boa constrictors; bent, torn and battered boilers; gaping holes in smokestacks; the mainmast, bigger than the body of a stalwart man, sharply cut in two save for a three-inch splintered ligament; the crushed and wrecked galley, where twenty-four men were killed in an instant by a 13-inch shell from the Massachusetts and their bodies scalded—all bespeak a terrible lesson. No one is on board the Reina Mercedes now save a grave, taciturn boatkeeper, who has a bunk in what was once a richly-furnished officer’s cabin. Now and then a bit of rusty ironwork, exposed to wind and weather, breaks off and goes clattering down the riddled drying preparations simply develop dry catarrh; they dry up the secretions, which adhere to the membrane and decompose, causing a far more serious trouble than the ordinary form of catarrh. Avoid all drying inhalants, fumes, smokes and snuffs and use that which cleanses, soothes and heals. Ely's Cream Balm is such a remedy and will cure catarrh or cold in the head easily and pleasantly. A trial size will be mailed for 10 cents. All druggists sell the 50c. size. Ely Brothers, 56 Warren St., N.Y. The Balm cures without pain, does not irritate or cause sneezing. It spreads itself over an irritated and angry surface, relieving immediately the painful inflammation. With Ely's Cream Balm you are armed against Nasal Catarrh and Hay Fever. At half-past eleven o'clock p.m. she moved out from behind Socapa to the narrowest point of the channel, but was at once seen in the beams of our vigilant searchlights and a sharp fire was opened on her. Still, the Spanards managed to sink the Reina Mercedes in its predetermined position; though, as her cable was shot away by a particularly well-placed shot, she did not properly cross the channel, and thus failed to entirely close it. After the war the government made great efforts to save some of the vessels of Cervera’s fleet. A contract was made touching the Reina Mercedes in November, 1898, and on March 3, 1899, the Navy Department received a cablegram from Santiago stating that she had been raised. On May 13 she started from Santiago, in tow of wrecking tugs, and on May 22 she arrived at Newport News. Her historic name plate was taken off at Norfolk and various necessary immediate repairs were made to her hull. Chief Naval Constructor Hichborn then recommended that the Reina Mercedes be sent to Portsmouth, to be used as a receiving ship. He thought it would take three or four hundred thousand dollars to put her in shape for sea service, and, moreover, did not seem to favor the idea of having the Reina Mercedes put in commission anyway. He was quoted as saying: “Some of us Continued on Fourth Page. Some Reasons Why You Should Insist on Having EUREKA HARNESS OIL Unequaled by any other. Renders hard leather soft. Especially prepared.

Wisdom that Drops Like Pearls from the Lips of a Democratic Newspaper. The San Francisco Examiner, which during the war with Spain and immediately thereafter was shouting good American doctrine, but which during the past campaign wheeled about and shouted for the Kansas City platform, has been able to see "through the haze of this defeat" why Bryan was not elected to the Presidency. Speaking upon the subject the day after the election it said: Through the haze of this defeat the Democracy can see the victory that might have been. Beyond a doubt Mr. Bryan would have been triumphantly elected but for two things. The first was the intrusion of the silver issue. Free silver was dead, and so unpopular that even its corpse was enough to drag any man down to defeat. The second was the policy of cutting loose entirely from the Philippines. That was not in accord with the spirit of the American people. The people have evidently made up their minds to dispose of free silver once for all. The effort was superfluous, for free silver had ceased to exist as a possible policy four years ago, but the voters were determined not to have the remains lying around any longer. The Democratic party has paid by two defeats for the adoption of an unpopular and discredited issue. Free silver was defensible in 1896, although even then its advocates had an up-hill flight. But everything that has happened in the past four years has helped to bury it deeper in the graveyard of obsolete issues. Russia, Japan and half a dozen minor nations have become gold standard countries. Even in South America silver is steadily losing ground, and Mexico is almost the only important friend it has left. A flood of new gold has filled the monetary channels of the world. Every argument the silver advocates in the world why we should not supply these islands with the goods they are now buying from European countries, and if we take possession we most assuredly will get the market—not an exclusive market, perhaps, but our just share of the good things. At present we do not get anything like what we are entitled to on the basis of a fair exchange." It was such thimblerigging as this which caused thousands of Democrats to vote the Republican ticket. That is why McKinley's majority in California is upward of 40,000. On the other hand, why did the farmers and fruit growers of this State support the Republican ticket, irrespective of politics? What about the tariff? Did they forget about the Wilson-Gorman bill? The vote showed they did not. The Wilson-Gorman act was passed August 28, 1894, after more than a year of constant Democratic bickering. Mr. Cleveland refused to sign the bill as passed, but condemned it as a "base betrayal of party principles" because it was too protective in its features. It was not half so radical in its leanings to free trade as passed, as it was when framed. This act put a duty of 8 cents per cubic foot on citrus fruits. An orange box measures a very little more than 2 cubic feet. So the protection was only about 16 cents per box. The Dingley act was passed July 24, 1897, less than four months after President McKinley was inaugurated, and he promptly signed it, because it was fully in accord with Republican principles. This act placed a duty of 1 cent per pound on citrus fruit, or about 70 cents per box. California orange and lemon growers therefore enjoy extra protection amounting to about 54 cents per box in the Republican act as compared with the Democratic act. HOW·TO SAVE!FLOOD WATERS. Wm. E. Smythe of the Water and Forest Association to Speak in Anaheim on This land: Kindred Subjects December 6th. Wm. E. Smythe, Vice President and Secretary of the California Water and Forest association, will speak in Anaheim on December 6th, upon the subject of the necessity for the enactment of legislation for the reformation of the water laws of California; to create an organized and educated public sentiment to deal with water and forest problems; to find a way by which the flood waters of the State may be saved and applied to vast areas of fertile soil, and upon other kindred topics. Mr. Smythe has recently returned to San Francisco from a lecturing tour of the State. In a conversation some days ago he said: "Our society now numbers something over 4000, and is steadily growing at the rate of 1000 a month. We opened the campaign at Los Angeles on August 28th, and held a series of twenty-five meetings in the five southern counties, including Los Angeles, San Diego, Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino, and closed with a rousing meeting at Riverside on September 28th. We then went into the San Joaquin valley and held our first meeting at Bakersfield. Then we went through the counties of Kern, Tulare, Kings, Fresno and Madera, when we suspended our labors owing to the election. "Our meetings were well attended and we are much gratified at the results of our work. The organization of societies and scientific investigation have been pushed during the first year of the association's existence, and the work of having new laws framed will be urged at the approaching session of the Legislature. Up to October 27th." The Democratic party has paid by two defeats for the adoption of an unpopular and discredited issue. Free silver was defensible in 1896, although even then its advocates had an up-hillight. But everything that has happened in the past four years has helped to bury it deeper in the graveyard of obsolete issues. Russia, Japan and half a dozen minor nations have become gold standard countries. Even in South America silver is steadily losing ground, and Mexico is almost the only important friend it has left. A flood of new gold has filled the monetary channels of the world. Every argument the silver advocates advanced in 1896—scarcity of money, appreciating currency, business strengency—has ceased to have any application to present conditions. Prices have been rising instead of falling. Yet this Democratic paper had not the honesty to say these things before the election—it was the greatest shout against them during the campaign there was to be found in the whole country. True, it printed something about the folly of free silver, but lacked the manliness to come out squarely and tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Pages might be printed from this Democratic paper upon subjects which, freed from the trammels of a political canvass, it spoke truthfully, yet which it went squarely back upon in the heat of the canvass, seeking thus to deceive its large body of readers. In an article appearing in the Examiner Sunday, June 19, 1898, entitled "Our Interests in the Philippines," there is clearly set forth a just and true account of how the Philippines came into the possession of the United States. It will be observed that this account affords not so much as an intimation of an imperialistic policy on behalf of the administration, but confines itself to a straightforward narration of the absolute facts: "The circumstance that a Spanish fleet was stationed at Manila, in a position to sweep American commerce from the Pacific, if not to attack the Pacific Coast, made it necessary to send Admiral Dewey to destroy it. And with the destruction of the fleet the responsibilities came upon us. The islands are ours lacking but the army to take physical possession, and that army is now on the way. The fate of the islands and their seven million or more inhabitants rests on our decision, and the country must of necessity consider what is to be done with them. "For the present, there is no recourse but to take charge and see that they are properly governed. Even though we wish to dispose of them, that is out of the question at present. Considerations of humanity for us to give them back to Spain. It would be not less cruel to abandon them to the natives, lacking, as they are, all hereditary or acquired capacity for managing their own affairs. That would be to leave them without the machinery for the preservation of order that has been given them by Spain, and would probably condemn them to anarchy for decades to come, to be followed by their division among the powers of Europe. For the present, therefore, we must accept our responsibilities, and administer the islands as trustees for their people until such time as we can decide upon the permanent settlement of the question." The editor of the Examiner, as early as the 24th of June 1898, began to discern Help... Nature Babies and children need proper food, rarely ever medicine. If they do not thrive on their food something is wrong. They need a little help to get their digestive machinery working properly. back to Spain. It would be not less cruel to abandon them to the natives, lacking, as they are, all hereditary or acquired capacity for managing their own affairs.

And would probably condemn them to anarchy for decades to come, to be followed by their division among the powers of Europe. For the present, therefore, we must accept our responsibilities, and administer the islands as trustees for their people until such time as we can decide upon the permanent settlement of the question." The editor of the Examiner, as early as the 2d of June, 1898, began to discern in the probable annexation of the Philippines something more than national duty discharged, or even a step in Anglo-Saxon destiny, but his practical common sense clearly discerned the element of commercial profit (which he then did not stigmatize as commercial greed) in the probable acquisition of the Philippine islands. On the date above mentioned, in an editorial entitled, "Coming Our Way," we find the following common-sense and truthful declaration: "If the Philippine Islands come into the possession of the United States they will open to us a great market. A recent report of Consul Williams at Manila shows that this country buys from the Philippine islands nearly five million dollars' worth of merchandise every year, while the people of the island take from us less than two hundred thousand dollars' worth in return. The imports from Great Britain to the Philippines were about $2,500,000 a year, and from France about $1,800,000 a year. Germany and Belgium even sell more goods to the Philippines than the United States, although their return purchases are insignificant. Indeed, the United States are the best customers of the island producers except Great Britain. Now, there is no reason Spread Like Wildfire. When things are "the best" they become "the best selling." Abraham Hare; a leading druggist, of Belleville, O., writes: "Electric Bitters are the best selling Bitters I have handled in 20 years. You know why? Most diseases begin in disorders of the stomach, liver, kidneys, bowels, blood and nerves. Electric Bitters tones up the stomach, regulates liver, kidneys and bowels, purifies the blood, strengthens the nerves, hence cures multitudes of maladies. It builds up the entire system.
