Spain’s New War Ships Tushinfl Work on Three Armored Cruisers of a Type Superior to the Vizcaya. The Spanish govrrnment Is doing *ll irlthln Its power to augment the itrength of her navy, and with that, end n view, orders have been given to push forward the three new armored crul lers, the Cardinal Clsneroa, Prince** le Auaturlas and' Cataluna. which thla :ountry is building, and which are de tcribed In the following articles, taken from that excellent weekly naval II- ; iuatrated paper. El Mundo Naval, writ ten by Lieutenant of the Navy Mario j diibio Munez: "The navy Is anxiously awaiting the j eappy csnipletlon of the three armored : ?rulst*ro which are lielng built in the ; trsrna'H of Ferrol, Carraca and Carta- j tens.

In addition to this there Is the ; finer model which will add still fur ther speed. The armored belt which de fends the vital parts of the Cardinal Cisneros Is larger and the quality of the plates has Improved, and we main tain hopes that the sister ship In Bil bao will have even stronger resistive power.

HERO OF MAINE DISASTER. Brave "Bill” Anthony, marine order i ly of the ill-fated battleship Maine, has ; a record to he proud of. Amidst the shrieks of wounded sailors and the rush of flames, with the great steel ship settling to Its grave and the dead lying | thick upon Its shattered decks, brave ' Anthony made his report to Captain Sigsbee. That report—the essence of courage | and discipline—should live In Amerl : can history. "Sir." said the gallant orderly, stand ing at salute. "I have to Inform you that the ship has been blown up and la sinking." "Bill" Anthony has carried a rifle In Uncle Sam's service since he was 17 years old. Hla father was a boss truckman In New York in the old days when Fifty-ninth street was out in the suburbs, and "Bill" was born within a stone's throw of the battery. He was a natural born soldier, six feet two inches tall, broad-shouldered, narrow hipped. slender-limbed. and stout hearted. The family moved to New Jersey Just about the time "Bill" completed a rath- er turhulen career In the public schools and one morning he vanished. "Bill" had enlisted. That happened twenty eight years ago. and from that moment Anthony has never ceased to wear the uniform. His first active service carried him to the Carollnas. where the Ku Klux were busily engaged in their deviltries. There he laid the foundation for his soldierly reputation. His commanding officer In those early daya was Major Steward, long since retired, but still living. Years later a young man drifted Into the marine corps as a volunteer, a slender, soft-handed fellow, who was the butt of the company until “Bilk” Anthony, the pride of the barrack*, called a halt. The recruit proved to be the wayward son of Anthony's old major, and the big marine watched over him like a father. Anthony saw fourteen years of sol dier.ng, most of It cn the western plain* before he threw In his fortunes with the marines. He was always * marked man In the service, conspicuous for his magnificent physique, his cool courage, and perfect discipline. As a non-commisaloncd officer he filled every position known to the mil itary code, and filled them well. There was Just one blemish In brave “Bill's” character —a blemish which many be lieve alone kept him out of a commis sion. “Bill” would drink, not often to ANoram raw or tub wucbd I PBdrocnuPH. ■■■-■; -,TT excess. but Invariably fist at tks vrsaf time, when his commanding afificore— favorite though be waa-aoqld ant wink at the offense.

It wad the old ' story over again—rapid advancements. . followed by the Inevitable setbacks, all due to unwise conviviality. Not that "Bill" ever transgressed white on duty —for a firmer disciplinarian never j wore a marine uniform. Ovar at the Brooklyn navy yard Anthony la well , known and well liked. Ho was sta tioned there for two yean, and during the greater part of that tlma. served as clerk In the recruiting office. Anthony was detailed to the Brook lyn on Its cruise Id the China aoas.
