SPANISH NAVY.
DISGRACEFUL REVELATIONS
'Times'—'Sydney Sun' Special Cables. (Received Last Night, 9.20 o'clock.) ' MADRID, December 30.
Spain has apparently forgotten the lesson of the war with America, and at the end of November the cruiser Carlos V. : was despatched to Mexico to defend Spanish interests. At the last moment it was discovered that the vessel's light artillery was left at the.arsenal. After shipping the artillery, the cruiser left and was not reported until she ar- * rived at Kingston, when it was announced that the captain was deprived of his command'.
The cruiser, was in a deplorable condition, the .boilers leaking and the bottom being covered with barnacles. *
After violent telegrams between the captain and the Admiralty, the latter made the captain the scapegoat of its own neglect.
