THE SPANISH NAVY.
ADMIRALTY NEGLECT.
[By Electric Telegraph—Copyright] Times —Sydney Sun Special Cables. Madrid, December 29.
Spain apparently has forgotten the lesson of the war with America. At the end of November the cruiser Carlos V. was despatched to Mexico to defend Spanish interests there. At the last moment it was discovered that the vessel’s light artillery had been left in an arsenal.
After shipping the artillery the cruiser left and was not reported until she arrived at Kingston, Jamaica, when it was announced that the captain had been deprived of .s Cu umand, owing +o the crnisei’s deplorable condition. Her boilers were leaking and her bottom was covered nitli at mice-
After violent telegrams had passed between the captain and the Admiralty, the latter made the captain a scapegoat for its own neglect.
