OW THAT WAR IS upon us, it is becom- ing that every one should have a fair understanding of the types of vessels mus- tered in our defens: and know, too, some- out for each. Of the battle ship and the menitor rly every one has a proper conception, and, too, of the tor- pedo boat: but of the three types of eruts ers there is only confused general know edge.

With us the gunboat has a maximum displacement or total weight of something just over 1,770 tons and a minimum of Si) tons, the Castine and Machias represent- ing the major extreme and the littie Ban- croft representing the minor extreme. Of the simpie or unprote we have three—the Detroit, Marblehead and Montgomery, each of a trifle over tons displacement. When these vessels were first designed they were officially known as gunboats, but the department wisely saw that a limit must be drawn where, and, placing the gunboat mit craft un we) tons, the three vessels at once became dignified as cruis- sides their promised speed and their -aching over eighteen knots them deserving of the junction with their pretty of rapid-fire guns. or unprotected cruiser, nmon even with gunboats, has no prote mor for her “vitals, rs and her maga- called.

A Step in Advance The protected cruiser is the next advance upon the simple cruiser. Here, again, we have a water-tight deck, but this time it is supplemented with a coat of mail, and may range on the flat portion from one inch to two and a half inches and vary on the slopes at the sides from one and a half to four and three-quarters inches. This armor presents a deflective front to shot passing through the sides and threat- ening the magazines and the motive pow- er, and, of course, gives the vessel the power of standing up before craft capable of dealing out certain destruction to the simple cruiser. Again, the coal is stowed along the sides above and below the water- tight and protective deck, and a new de- fense in the shape of a band of cellulose stands ready to take the first shock of at- tack and to plug automatically by its own ling all shot holes admitting water. Of course, My is not proof against explosive shell, merely pass through it. Of the protected cruiser type, the Olym- pia is by long odds the most typical vessel in our service. Aside from her huil pro- tection, the guns of her main battery, four | eight-inch guns, are mounted in two tur- | rets, an all-around shelter unequaled by any ship of like class and size in the world, | and some notion of what this and the other ph of this 5,800-ton ship's defensive qualities constitute may be gathered when it is realized that she could stand up and a good account of herself against either the British Powerful or Terrible— ships of over 14,000 tons displacement.

Naval Cavalry. The armored cruiser is the cavalryman of the sea, and to them will fall that serv- |ice demanding dash, force and quickness of execution. The protected cruiser is really the com- merce destroyer, and ts coated with just enough mail to give her a preponderance of defen: over the armed escort prob- ably detailed to watch over n enemy's merchant craft. Swift, of considerable gun power, and of great ease of movement, she is, indeed, to be dreaded by verything but craft of ample speed, fine protection, 1 powers of re jiation. simple eruiser falls in behind the | protected cruiser in the same line of serv- jice, but she must be y lest her quarry bea merchantman of gun power or be | conveyed by a sturdy ‘craft of speed and | superior battery.

So far as possible coal is placed above this dock and against the sides as a bulwark against the attack of an enemy, and while the coal remains there it forms’ a good de- fense to guns ranging from one-pounders to six-pounders. The armored shields borne by some of the guns, or the armor placed about some of the gun ports is not considered protection to the craft herself, and while either may be present on a sim- ple cruiser, the fact that her vitals remain operations to domestic service, the guard- janship of merchantmen in our own wa- ters, dispatch service, or picket duty for the heavy ships that must meet the foe in force and to a conclusion. It seems quite needless to remark that, so far as possible, each commanding offi- cer is expected to size up his approaching foe, and, depending upon the known chances of a conflict, either to engage or exercise that better part of valor, discre- tion, and scoot. Type for type, our ships will hold their own with those of Spain, and nothing more can be expected, lest the concerted action of two weaker craft wring a victory by handiness of management from a less ably handled single foe of greater power.

TYPICAL SCENES IN THE RING Sport That Has Nothing in Com- mon With Our Ideas. : VIEWED BY THOUSANDS Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. PARIS, April 14, 1898. N SPAIN THE spring is more charming than the “summer. Everything looks gay, every cos- tume is bright, and the air of Spanish cities is full of three great perfumes—vio lets, incense from the churches, and the pungent odor of la- trines. The people who go down from Paris are hypnotized by certain strong elements in the life they find around.them—by Spanish music, Span- ish dances, Spanish beauty, Spanish tobac- co, Spanish piety, Spanish ferocity. Despite the disgusting immorality of the thing, I know of no sight more stirring and imposing than the first part of an expen- sive bull fight, with the ceremonious en- trance to the blare of trumpets; the pro- cession of historic costumes of crimson, Pale blue, white and canary; of pea green, silvery white and pink; or scarlet, black, derk blue and white—and over all of it the brilliaat sunlight, the perfumes of spring in the sweet air, and the enthusiasm of 1 mighty audience that moves and shouts and blazes with excitement. ‘The ring at Tarragona, for eximple—lit- tle, old, lost-to-the-world Tarragona—gives seats for 17,000 people—more than the en- tire population of that backward town along the Mediterranean; and yet the seats ure often full, for the country people for miles around flock in, on foot, on donkeys 3, horses and in bullock carts. So that when the big band strikes up the old barbaric March, and the thousands on the benches move themselves uneasily, and shout down greetings to their favorite fighters, you have a scene before you not to be forgot- ten. Spanish Point of View. The central idea of the bull fight, the Spanish will tell the visitor, is to display the courage and dexterity of men. It is ac- knowledged that the bull is more than a man’s mateh—the bull with his ngth, ferocity and sharp horns, and the man alone, armed with a stender sword. Again, it is essential that the buli should be killed with but one single stroke, given while the swordsman, the espada, fi him. This stroke inust also be delivered in one special spot, behind the should to penetraie the heart. Should it giance and strike the lungs instead, so that the bull will drop blood from his mouth, the audience is dis- usted, aid expresses its disgust. All this is delicate and dangerous work, and it re- quires preparation to make conditions equal for h parti an and bull. Besides, there must mony and a show. Out of the: ities the numerous and well- defined nd scenes of a bull fight take their due progression. The bull mu: t be exercised before the audience, that they may take pleasure in his gth. The animal is noble, with a_pedig: long as that of many a don. He is si with small hind-quarters and mendou! he neck and shoulder verthe- is rather small than large. His stfaight and sharp; and he is 8 vicious as a devil: The ordinary bull hters, toreadors, flaunt their cloaks before his face and’ escape with difficulty, often being obliged to jump the fence around the ring. But for the or horses there is no escape, and here 1s - the sickness of the stranger takes sudden Use of Broken-Down Horses. The object of bringing in the horses ly in the game (poor broken-down old tures) is realiy four-fold. It is first io exhibit the vigor of the bull, when he lifts and tosses them with the most abominable strength. Next, it is to tire the bull a lit- tle, so that it will not be impossible for a single man to face him later on. Thirdly, it is to give the bull a smell of blood, that being naturally what he himself is ‘fight- ing for. Lastly, it must be said unhappily, it is to give the people themselves a sight of bloed! I believe this latter to be absolutely true, in spite of all denials of Spaniards. The audience seems to like the blood of the mangled ho: And new, while the bull is being taunt- ed in the ring, almost at the beginning, the horses, blindfolded, are therefore be- ing slowly ridden around to him. Upon them ure mounted the most degraded of all bull fighters, the picadors, so little thoughi of by the people themselves that the lowest, cheapest brand of Spanish cig- arettes are called with one consent the picadors. It is the trade of these gentle- men—who ride in always, it is sald, half drunk—to see that the blindfolded horses which they ride are properly ruined by the bull; it Is their trade to spear the buil with a iong lance, to irritate him, and to save themselves. They themselves are protected on the legs by iron sheathings. After two or four or even eight horse: have been gored and tossed and tumbled und are dragged away dead and bleeding the trumpet sounds and a very different set of men dash into the wide bull-ring. Enter the Real Things. These are the banderilleros. Each one of them.bas two berilboned darts, like little harpoons, in his hand, which he must fix in the bull's neck to pain him, to infuriate him, and to make him exhibit the agility of men. it is a matter of no little skill and dan- ger; if successful, it almost crazes the animal, giving him the maximum of f¢- rocity with the minimum of strength. It is also one of the “prettiest” parts of the corrido de tores; for the bull comes on with a rush to these most nimble and courageous banderilleros, who often must evade him by a single inch. Each inva- sion and each trick of daring has its name, and is applauded or hissed by the excited thousands on the benches, according to the audacity, coolness and dexterity of the men, or the reverse. These lively fellows, who take terrible risks, will seat themselves in chairs and let the bull come thundering down on them. Then at the very instant that he would strike them, toss them, mangle them, they rise, plant their harpoons into his neck, and leap aside. The bull must be content to toss the chair. Or they will take a long pole, and leap over the bull's back as he comes at them. Or they will kneel down on one knee, with grace, and tickle the puzzled beast upon his nose with a lace handkerchief and slip aside from him. Their harpoons, which they jab into his injured and insulted neck, should make him wild. Fireworks in the Bull’s Neck. But if he does not show sufficient wild- ness, the people cry for “Fire!” And here it 1s too sickening and cowardly to pro- ceed in detail. Sufficient it wili be to say that there have been invented banderiilas with fireworks attachments, that they may burn after they have been thrust into the bull's neck! Enough, The time has now arrived for the great act of the matador, or the es- pada, the most important man, the high professional who has to kill a crazy bull, made monstrously wicked by ill-treatment and a thousand goadings. The bull ts weakened, it is true; but he is still so dan- gerous that half the matadors of history have found their death in the ring. His thoughts run something like this from the moment of his entrance to triumphal mu- sic to the close of his triumphal butchery, when all are yelling to him from the benches: “Ole! Viva mi gracia!

Thank heaven they will never know it! And the experience will give me tone. Ole! the bull is dead—iong live me and my mother and my sweetheart and all my family! How they applaud! Tomorrow I will ask the manager for 1,000 pesetas more for each fight!” The bull fighters of the old days were not, as they now always are, profes- sionals; but they were young lovers of the court, hoping to make themselves accept- able by exhibiting feats of rash daring un- der the eyes of their mistresses. Nowadays the success of the fighters does not depend so ich ‘on the applause of wealth and beaufy in,the boxes as it does on the fidelity of the respectable middle- class public in the reserved seats of the grada, to say nothing. of the yelling popu- lace on the stone benches immediately around the arena. As for the modern Span- ish lover, he feels that he is doing a great deal when he pays the admission price to the grada for hig.sweatheart and her moth er, The Spanish soverds, ordinarily, spoony, and the Spanish; girl! is—seemingly—timid to a degree; the Spanish mother is very often pretentious, and the whole middle class and lower glass population astonish- ingly democratie»and outspoken. This, then, is the bull fight, and the spir- it of the bull-fight audience, The audience is composed of every type of citizen—the respectable.and good, as well as the de- praved. Little children suck their oranges contentedly while the miserable horses are squealing with pain, their entrails protrud- ing from their ruined bellies.
