LOYAL SPANIARDS
In
the Argentine Republic Present
A Warship to Spain.
Washington Oct. 24. Newa has
been received here this morning of the
launching at Davre of the cruiser La
Plata presented to Spain by loyal
Spanish residents of the Argentine Re-
public. The pro-S parish feeling lo Argentine
during the war was most rabid as was
reported by sorrespondents at toe"
time. Large ssms were raised to aid
8paln and new papers and populace
evinced oonsldsrable hostility to the
United States.
The cruiser tsa costly tp-1 of most
modern type.
Placed on the Retired List.
Washington D. C Oot. 24. An-
other of the important changes in the
navy which the present year has seen
wa caused trday by the retirement
from active service of Rear Admiral
Edmund O. Ma'.thewa who during the
recent war served at the head of the
naval examining board.
As the number of rear admirals in
service at the present time exceeds
the legal limitation the retirement
does cot produce the usual promotions
down the line.
In the retirement of Rear Admiral
Matthews the service loses a popu'ar
and efficient officer and one who ha
dl-tinguished himself by his capable
work as the head of the bureau of
yards and docks and as the chief of
other important naval boards. His
naval career ! somewhat out of the or
dioary from the fact that he has seen
bat fourteen years of sea duty and yet
entered the service several years be
fore the outbreak of the civil war and
lose to tbe blgbest rant. Admiral
Matthews was born in Maryland but
was appointed to Annapolis from Mis
souri.
Admiral Matthews' successor as pres
ident of the examining and retiring
boards will probably be Commouore
Remey who during the recent war was
la command of the naval baea at Key
Wett.

London Oct. 24. The chances of

here. The consensus of opinion in
England is that she will get what she

Notwithstanding this feeling the
