Indiana Expected to be the Next
to be Riddled by the
Atlantic Fleet.
Within a few years all of llie
lirsl-rla*s battleships that fought
in the Spanish-American war,
with a single exception, probably
will have been destroyed by the
shells of I hi: great dreadnoughts
of the present Atlantic Heel. The
Texas, which Commander Philip,
caused to fight gloriously, has
met her doom already in this way,
and now there is a well founded
report that the battleship Indiana,
which was one of Sampson’s llrst
line ships at Santiago, is to he i
dismantled of her guns and towed
to some convenient spot where
she can he used as a target for
the newer and mightier ships of
the Arkansas, Delaware, Michi
gan, Florida and Connccticul
types.
j-or almost two years, oil ami
on, the battleships of the Atlantic
fleet have been firing at the hull
of the old Texas until today there
is little of the Texas that could
he made use of as a target, and
the officers in charge of the na
val target work are looking about
for something to take the place
of l ltat famous ship of 1898. And
il is said that they have about de
cided that the Indiana, to bui|d
and equip which the government
spent $5,983,371, has been tenta
tively selected as the next ship
that will he offered as a sacrifice
lo sho\y what the gunners of the
great Atlantic fleet can do.
Twenty-two years ago the keel
of I be Indiana w as laid and the
newspapers printed, long articles
descriptive of the mighty, offen
sive and defensive power of, the
sli/p that was lhen dubbed "the
coming queen of the seas.” l<'our
iyears later the Indiana was lin
sshpd and turned over to the gov
ernment. The following April,
1898, the Indiana steamed for the
jlirst time into the harbor of New
York, and went lo the New York
Navy Yard, where she was visited
ny thousands, all of whom "look
ed, marveled and admired the
Wonderful floating fortress.”
Then followed the Massachu
setts amt I lie Oregon, the last
limned being the ship referred to
| as probably Hie only one which
'will not meet the fate of I lie Tex
! as. All America rejoiced ami
| boasted of their country's pos
j session of wlial was then believed
ilo lie Hie linesl lighting trio on
the sea.
Hut llm Indiana lias long since
' become obsolete, and when she
j goes to her last anchorage to
| await the bombardment of the
ships of the Atlantic lleet, she
probably will go, under a name
other than Indiana, just as did the
Texas, whiph was riddled under
(lie name of San Marcos when the
name of Texas had been given to
the mighty superdreadnought
Texas, a sisler ship of the New
York, two vessels which are near
ing completion, and either of
which is equal in battle efficiency
In a dozen vessels.of the old Tex
as type. Indiana will undoubtedly
be the name given to one of the
superdreadnoughls that will he
authorized during the Wilson ad
ministration.
When the Indiana is wrecked
beyond use for. target purposes
no one will he surprised to see
the Massachusetts and the Illinois
and the Iowa follow her into ob
livion via the target route. Like
the Indiana, all these ships are
obsolete survivors of the battle
of Want iago.
Mr. K. H. Spiers received a wire

was not ^unexpected as sin* had

had been confined to her bed for i
more than six months suffering j
from a paralytic stroke.
