Philadelphia Becord. 3Bf fr STAIN'S T1VO WAltSIIIP). The Palnyonud Cnrlot V Prnetlcnllr All That It Lfl of HorNdTr. From tho Philadelphia Bulletin. Spain's nrmored navy at the begin ning of the wnr consisted of one bat tleship, the Pelayoj one armored cruis er, the Emperndor Carlos V nnd sev en other nrmored cruisers, namely, the Vlzcaya, the Infanta Maria Teresa, tho Almlrante Oqucndo, the Cristobal Col on, the Cardinal Clsneros, the Princess de Asturlaa and tho Cataluna. It was popidaily thought that this flet of ar mored vessels, of large size and of great speed, was a modern fleet capable of fighting modern ships nnd of waging an aggressive wnr, nnd there wore many persons who believed It to he In point of offensive power and efficiency more than a match for the United States fleet. When active hostilities began Spain presumably put her best ships Into ac tive service. Accordingly, tho Capo Verde squadron, under Admiral Cer vera, was formed and despatched. It was then discovered that the four largo nrmored crullers composing the squad- ton constituted every nv.allnble ship fit to lly the Spanish ftafe on the hlgn seas. This squadron wo know now- was not in what we would consider a suitable condition for active service. It wus manned by crews Ignorant of the nrt of gunnery, and further, its machinery was not In proper working order. Tho- oiutlcally, Ccrver.Vs squadron was able lo make a speed of twenty knots. In trallty Its sreed was considerably less, for our sMps, with trial speeds of fif teen knots, which must have been con siderably reduced by foul bottoms and Hie conditions attendant upon nctlve service, were able to overhaul tho Spanish vessels and force them to run on the beach. Thus four of Spain's once apparently powerful fleet vere de stroyed. There Is left, tlipn, of tho original Spanish armored fleet the Telayo, the Carlos V., the Cardinal Clsnerns, the Prlnress do Afcturlas and tho Cntalunn. These last three are sister ships of the three that were destroyed near Santia go; they are In an unfinished condi tion In the shipyards of Spain, and It is now well known that they cannot be made efficient vessels for a long time to come. Hence, tho number of tho present effective fighting ships of Spain Is nar rowed down to two, the Pelnyo, a fair ly good battleship, and the Empcrador Carlos V., an excellently designed ar mored cruiser. Another reputed powerful element of the Spanish navy was the torpedo boat destroyer. Here again reports were al together at fault. Spain has six of them new, English built, of extraordi nary speed, well armed; In short, ex cellent specimens of the type. These destroyers have failed of serving any purpose as signally as tho armored cruisers and from the same causes, un skilled seamen and defective machin ery. Two of these boats are now on the rocks, wrecks; two more are limp ing back to Spain from Port Said, broken down, and the others are under going repairs. As a force they need not be reckoned with. This closes the account of the real fighting force of the Spanish navy. There yet remain some Inferior cruis ers and some gunboats. Tho two largo cruisers, the Lepanto and the Alfonso XIII., which might prove of some use, are "undergoing repairs." Two old-time Iron broadside battle ships, the Numuncla and tho Vltorla, have been re-englned and re-armed, modernized In these respects, yet neither has been able to go to sea, and It Is reported that the one was not en tirely re-englned before leaving France, where she had been repairing, and that tho other has not yet recelvd her ar mament. The conclusion Is that the Spanish navy consists today of the following ships: Pelayo, battleship, 10,000 tons, sixteen knots, nineteen guns; Carlos V., armored cruiser, 9,000 tons, twenty knots, twenty guns. HOW MICA IS OBTAINED. The Process Is Described at - tho Poetry of Alining. The mica trade Is controlled prac tically by three or four large concerns In New York, Chicago and Boston. These houses have an agent who buys for cash whatever mica is brought by the miners. They control the market and fix the prices to be paid to tho miner, as well as the prices for which It Is sold In the markets. Mica, It need hardly bo said, Is a very valuable, almost precious, min eral, as those who are obliged to buy a small strlo for tholr stove doors will testify. A package worth hundreds of dollars can be carried In a basket slung over the arm. or In a pair of saddle bags on horseback. When prepared for the market the solid block, as taken from the mine, Is split Into sheets. These aro cut Into squares or rec tangles of nlmost every possible size, from 2x2 Inches up to 8x10 Inches, and sometimes even larger. There are no less than 1S3 regular sizes kept In stock by dealers. The mining of mica Is tho poetry of mining. It Is Impossible to conceive of a more exciting and fascinating em ployment. The vein of mlca-benrlng quart, lying between rocks of different formation, has been found. The cap rock has been blasted away. Little "nigger-heads" small lumps of crumb ling mica mixed with slate and other rock are growing plentiful. The rock is carefully examined by the experi enced miner, and all Indications aro that mica will soon be found. A blast is made. The rock and debris nre cleared awuy, and there In the bottom Is a block of the precious stuff, a ragged corner showing Itself black and glittering In the white quartz In which It Is imbedded. "With the tips of the fingers the miner gently nnd affection ately brushes away tho dirt and small stones which partly covers It. Its thickness Is carefully noted, its position in the rock Is learnedly discussed, and many a speculation Indulged In ns to its size and quality. The hole Is quick ly drilled, tho small blast Is made, Just loosening the rock, and nil eagerly crowd around ns one of the men with his pick pulls away the broken stone. There It lies, a black, glittering mass, nine or ten Inches across Its face, three or four Inches thick, and Irregular In shape, as all blocks of mica are. A good-sized block, and, if solid and of a perfect cleavage, will be worth several dollars. The excitement Is not allayed, however, and will not be until the block Is split open and we know how It looks on the Inside. It Is a very bad thing to split open a block at the mine, and contrary to all rules, for there Is dan ger that tho fine, polished faces will be scratched. I'npn Is Thinking Now.
