BEINA REGENTE FOUND
Was Sunk Near the Straits of
Gibraltar.
OFFICERS AND CREW WERE LOST
She Was In New York Two Tears Ago,
HaTlng Acted as Escort to the
Col ambus CaraTels.
Cadiz, March 19. The Spanish cruiser
Alphonso XIII reports haying found the
missing cruiser Reina Regente, sunk
near Rajos Aceitanos, not far from the
Straits of Gibraltar. Only 20 inches of
her mast s were above the water. The
Alphonso XIII returned to the scene of
the wreck with divers to recover the
bodies.
' The Reina Regente carried a new crew
of 420 officers and men, and all are be
lieved to have perished, as not a single
survivor has been reported as having
arrived at any port, nor has a single
body been found that could be identified
as that of one of the officers or crew of
the lost ship.
Deputy Diaz Moreau, formeily an
officer in the Spanish navy, in the cham
ber of deputies, March 14, read a state
ment of the former commander of the
Beiua Regente, in which the writer des
cribed the cruiser as a vessel unable to
weather a heavy storm, owing to the in
creased weight of her armament. Ad
miral Beranger said the overweight of
the cruiser's deck guns was rectified two
, years ago by his orders, when he was
minister of marine.
In Cadiz and Cartagena, where most
of the crew belonged,, there has been
great anxiety and excitement from the
moment the cruiser was reported missing,
The Reina Regente, about two years
ago, went to New' Tork as one of the
Spanish squadron . which escorted across
the Atlantic the Columbus ,' caravels
The vessel was launched in 1887, and
was one of the three Becond-class deck-
protected cruisers of the same build, her
Bister ships being the Alphonso XIII
and Lepante, all of 2800 tons, 12,000
horse-power, and expected to steam. 20
Knots.
The wrecked cruiser was 320 feet long,
40 feet 6 inches beam, and a draught of
20 feet 4 inches. She was propelled by
twin screws. Her protected deck was
4 inches thick on the slopes, her con-ning-tower
had 5 inches of armor ' and
her ' funnel shields were 3 inches thick.
Her armament consisted of four 9-incb
Hontoria gans, one on each side forward
of the central superstructure and one on
each side aft; six 4 Hontoria guns in
the broadside forward aft, a pair in
sponeons, a middle pair in recess ports
and 15 rapid-firing machine guns. She
was also fitted with five torpedo tubes.
More Pacts Concerning;, the Arrest of
Myron B. Wood. .
Later .developments . concerning the
case of Myron B. Wood, of Lane county,
who was arrested Saturday by Deputy
.United States Marshal George Hum
phrey, of Portland on a charge of cutting
timber on government land, put a differ
ent phase on the matter. It seems that
the timber was cut on a homestead
which had been filed upon by Mr. Wood,
and npon which he has now lived for
four years, having only one more year in
which to finish up his claim and make
final proof. According to the law, Mr.
Wood had the right to clear the timber
off his claim and burn it or use it in the
improvement of his claim, but had not
the right to sell it, and upon this ground
the arrest was made, as Mr. Wood had
sold some logs off the' claim. ' Parties
who are acquainted with the facts of the
case say that Mr. Wood filed upon the
claim and has been holding ' it in good
faith. If such be true, it is likely that a
very strong case cannot be made against
him.
Minister Thurston Not Wanted In Wash,
ington.
Chicago, March 10. A special to the
Daily News from Washington says:
Secretary Gresham has demanded the
recall of L. A. Thurston, Hawaiian tnin
later at Washington'. ' At the same time
the doors of the state department have
Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U.S. Gov't 'Report ,'
been closed against the representative of
the new republic, and he has been told
be must communicate in writing with
the secretary. GreBham requested Min
ister Willis to formally communicate to
the Hawaiian minister of " foreign affairs
the fact that Minister Thurston was per
sona non grata. The communication
was sent by mail, and the news regard
ing its reception may now be on the
American steamer on the way to Sari
Francisco.
Gossips are conjuring with the rumor
late , this .afternoon that the Spanish
ministers recall will be demanded. H a
offense is alleged to be similar to Thurs
ton's. He gave an interview to the
newspapers a few days ago criticising
Secretary Gresham.
