OFF SANTIAGO DE CUBA, July 7, Kingston, Jamaica, July 8.—The vessels which composed Admiral Cervera's squadron, converted into wrecked channel houses, are littering the Cuban coast and the scenes of desolation, ruin, horror and death baffle description. At the entrance of the harbor of Santiago de Cuba lies the Reina Mercedes, sunk at midnight on July 5. Westward, five miles from the harbor, is a torpedo boat destroyer, stuck fast in the rocks, close in shore and battered by the surf. Rocks jutting out of the water in front where she lies hide her hull from view. Her davits and the top of her conning tower alone mark her resting place. Visible from the sea a few miles further, in an inlet embraced by two mighty arms of black rocks that extend half a mile into the sea, are the remains of the twin cruisers Infanta Maria Teresa and Almirante Oquendo; formerly the pride of the Spanish navy. On beyond lies the Vizcaya, a mass of ruins, and forty-two miles away from Santiago de Cuba, the Cristobal Colon lies helpless on her sides, with her smokestacks under water. The Infanta Maria Teresa and the Almirante Oquendo stand upstruck fast in the rocky shoals. All that is left of them is their outer hulls, the heavy armor defying total annihilation. Inside of them the work of destruction is complete. The boilers, engines, bankers and magazines have been blown into unrecognizable masses of twisted, melted iron. Exploded shells, burned rifles and revolvers, pieces of yellow brass work, and gold and silver coin, melted by the intense heat, are strewn all over the remains of the once proud armored cruisers, whose protective decks only stand in place. But the most ghastly, horrible sights in these steel coffins are the mangled, scarred and charred bodies of hundreds of brave sailors, sacrificed for their country. Buzzards are feeding off them, and others are hovering over the wrecks. On the beach flocks of vultures sit in silence, waiting for the sea to give up wounded Concas and Eulate. We have lost all and are necessarily depressed. (Signed) NEW YORK, July 9.—A special from Madrid says: "I obtained today from a competent naval source the following statement of the naval situation, so far as Spain is concerned: "We lost at Manila vessels worth $5,000,000. At Santiago we lost vessels worth $18,000,-000. Our fleet under Camara must come home, because it really consists of only two war vessels, the Pelayo and Carlos V, and therefore could not cope with Dewey after the arrival of the American reinforcements. Our torpedo-boat destroyers have proved worthless against the battleships and cruisers when properly handled. We have at home no available naval force ready, as is shown by the condition of the ships at Cadiz, Cartagena and Ferol. All are either unready or unseaworthy, nine ships in all. These are Spain's whole naval strength at home." LONDON, July 9.—Most of the weekly papers pay high tribute to the American navy. The Speaker says: "The Santiago fight proves, so far as the fleet is concerned, that the United States need not fear comparison with any country in the world." The Spectator declares, as a conclusion from the battle, the conviction that the American fleet could face even the French fleet without great risk of disaster, and it says: "So far as the German and American navies go, there can be no comparison. A struggle between them would be very short and very complete, and it would surprise Emperor William, who thinks himself invincible, but his self-confidence cannot alter history." ASKED TO GIVE THANKS. President McKinley's Proclamation Requests Devout Praise for Victories. WASHINGTON, July 6.—The President to-sight issued the following statement: To the people of the United States: At this time, when yet is fresh the remembrance of the unprecedented success which attended the operations of the United States in the bay of Manila on the first day of May last, SNAP SHOTS AT THE NEWS Admiral Camara, who set out some weeks ago with his fleet for the Philippines through the Suez Canal, has been cabled to return to Spain, and now in the Mediterranean on his way home. The sinking of the Spanish cruiser Alfonso XIII and Reina Mercedes, not fully confirmed, reduces the Spanish naval strength by twenty-one vessels. Ten were sunk and three (including a armed transport) captured at Manila and the ships destroyed in the West Indian waters numbered eight. The reduction in the fighting capacity which the Dons have suffered is all of 70 percent, leaving Spain as a naval power lower rank than Holland, Denmark or Greece. The report from Washington that the Spanish privateer is hovering off the coast of British Columbia is not credited in San Francisco. Some time ago it was reported that a man named Brown had cabled from Victoria to the Spanish authorities at Madrid asking for letters of marque to fit out a privateer and prey upon the treasure ships coming from the Klondike. As the tire this was thought to be merely an advertising scheme to revive their waning interests in the Klondike gold fields, and no trace of Brown could be found at Victoria. If a Spanish privateer is really cruising off British Columbia she may have rich pickings. The steamers Roanoke and St. Paul are due to arrive almost any day from St. Michaels with big shipments of treasure to North American Trading and Transportation Company. The steamers Leelanaw is also due with returning prospectors and their clean-ups. The Roanoke and Leelanaw are bound for Seattle and the St. Paul for San Francisco. Leon Sloss of the Alaska Commercial Company, when told of the alleged pirateer, said of course such a thing was possible, but he did not believe it. He placed the rumor on par with last season's story, that Chinese pirates contemplated an attack on the Klondike fleet, and which stole caused the government to send a revenge cutter north to escort a treasury boat down. The United States gunboats Wheeling is the only government vessel at present in Alaskan waters and is conveying a survey expedition... REWERY Beer ERED TO ANY PART T PER POUND.

EL CANEY, Province of Santiago de Cuba, July 5; Kingston, July 7.—Fifteen thousand refugees to-day filled the road from Santiago to El Caney, Bonito San Vicente and San Louis, adjacent places. The exodus was in response to a proclamation by Gen. Rosa, a political general in Santiago, who gave all people desirous of leaving the city to escape the bombardment a chance to go between 5 and 9 o'clock this morning. The time between the issuance of the complete. the boilers, engines, bunkers and magazines have been blown into unrecognizable masses of twisted, melted iron. Exploded shells, burned rifles and revolvers, pieces of yellow brass work, and gold and silver coin, melted by the intense heat, are strewn all over the remains of the once proud armored cruisers, whose protective decks only stand in place. But the most ghastly, horrible sights in these steel coffins are the mangled, scarred and charred bodies of hundreds of brave sailors, sacrificed for their country. Buzzards are feeding off them, and others hovering over the wrecks. On the beach flocks of vultures sit in silence, waiting for the sea to give up its dead. Every tide adds to the tale of horror, washing up such objects as, for instance, a sleeve enclosing a wasted arm, other portions of the human body gnawed by sharks, and countless relics of the battle. Attention has been given to the burial of the dead of the enemy, and over 100 bodies taken from the ships or washed ashore have been interred upon the beach by Sampson's order. Those which now remain are almost totally consumed by fire, charred beyond belief, or lie in the depths of the sea. These form the food of the buzzards, who keep constant vigil about. The buried remains lie in a confused mass, unnumbered and unnamed in a huge pit on the sandy beach where the vessels went ashore. A rude wooden cross from the wreckage marks the grave—a grave over which Spain may well mourn. WASHINGTON, July 9.—Admiral Sampson has cabled the Navy Department that in his opinion three of the Spanish warships may be saved. The Colon is certainly in good condition, he reports, and there are reasonable hopes of saving the Maria Teresa and Vizcaya. This is the only news received from Sampson in a day or more, the cables apparently being interrupted or in bad working order. WASHINGTON, July 7.—Admiral Sampson telegraphs the Navy department as follows from his flagship, the New York, off Santiago de Cuba, dated July 6th: "About midnight last night the Reina Mercedes was seen by the Massachusetts, which vessel had a searchlight on the channel, coming out of the harbor of Santiago. The Massachusetts and Texas opened fire and the Spanish vessel was sunk opposite Estrella Cove. I am inclined to think is was the intention to sink her in the channel and thus block the harbor entrance. If so, the plan was defeated by the fire of the ships, as she lies on the edge of the shore." MADRID, July 7.—The Spanish version of the sinking of the warship Alfonso XIII is that she was chased by three American warships while attempting to enter the port of Mariel and that her commander purposely ran her ashore in order to avoid capture. The official report adds that the Americans fired 600 shells at the Alfonso XIII, and that the ship is a complete loss. It is further stated that the crew of the cruiser and "part of the cargo" were saved. A dispatch from Santiago de Cuba says 140 of the sailors who belonged to Admiral Cervera's squadron have reached Santiago de Cuba.

A dispatch from Santiago de Cuba says 140 of the sailors who belonged to Admiral Cervera's squadron have reached Santiago de Cuba. EL CANEY, Province of Santiago de Cuba, July 7; Kingston, July 7.—Fifteen thousand refugees to-day filled the road from Santiago to El Caney, Bonito San Vicente and San Louis, adjacent places. The exodus was in response to a proclamation by Gen. Rosa, a political general in Santiago, who gave all people desirous of leaving the city to escape the bombardment a chance to go between 5 and 9 o'clock this morning. The time between the issuance of the proclamation and the period set for leaving gave only a small opportunity for transporting household effects or any of the comforts of life, particularly as the Spanish authorities had forbidden any horse or carriage to be taken from the city, as horses are needed there for carrying water to the men in the trenches. The way to El Caney is long and the weather excessively hot. As the fugitives had no means for carrying water and as there is none on the road between Santiago and El Caney, there was great suffering. Men, women and children lay alongside the road, wherever there was a small patch of shade, begging passers-by, particularly soldiers with dangling canteens, for water, which was always freely tendered. WASHINGTON, July 7.—The War Department has received the report of Admiral Cervera to General Blanco on the disastrous naval fight to the Spanish cause off Santiago. It is as follows: "In compliance with your orders I went out yesterday from Santiago de Cuba with all the squadron, and after an unequalled combat against forces more than triple mine, had my squadron destroyed by fire, the Teresa, Oquendo and Vizcaya beeing beached and the Colon fleeing. I accordingly informed the Americans, and went ashore and gave myself up. The torpedo-chasers foundered. I do not know how many people were lost, but it will surely reach 600 dead and many wounded. Although not in such great numbers, the living are prisoners to the Americans." "The conduct of the crews rose to a height that won the most enthusiastic plaudits of the enemy. The commander of the Vizcaya surrendered his vessel. His crew are very grateful for the noble generosity with which they were treated. Among the dead is Villamil and, I believe, Lazaga, and among the Good appetites indulged. Strong nerves, rosy cheeks, And vigor of mind.

VOICE OF THE PRESS. THE EXPRESS HAS AN ULTERIOR MOTIVE. [From the Ventura Free Press.] The candidacy of Henry T. Gage, Esq., of Los Angeles, for Governor has been formally announced. Mr. Gage is the leading light of the Los Angeles bar, and is a broad-minded, able, conscientious gentleman whose private as well as public life is beyond reproach. Many of the newspapers of Southern California, led by the Los Angeles Express, are disapproving of Gage's candidacy on the ground that it would preclude the election of a United States Senator from Southern California. At the present time we have a governor to nominate, and the election-of a senator is not a question. That will come later, and Gage's nomination will not necessarily lose us the senator. There is an ulterior motive in the attack of the Express, and it is not placed altogether on the high plane of securing the U.S. senator from Southern California as it would have people believe. Henry T. Gage has as much right as any Republican in California to aspire to the chief office in the high gift of the people and to ask the suffrage of Rpublican voters. Certainly no man would fill the office with more credit to himself and to his party. Persons troubled with diarrhoea will be interested in the experience of Mr. W. M. Bush, clerk of Hotel Dorrance, Providence, R.I. He says: "For several years I have been almost a constant sufferer from diarrhoea, the frequent attacks completely prostrating me and rendering me unfit for my duties at this hotel. About two years ago a traveling salesman kindly gave me a small bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Colera and Diarrhoea Remedy. Much to my surprise and delight its effects were immediate. Whenever I felt symptoms of the disease I would fortify myself against the attack with a few doses of this valuable remedy. The results have been very satisfactory and almost complete relief from the affliction." For sale by P. A. Dorge. A sharp discussion was occasioned by Senate over a resolution tendering thanks of Congress to Common Schley for destroying Cervera's fish. The resolution was sent to the main affairs committee and was not reported previous to the adjournment of Congress. It develops that Secretary Long some months ago threatened... SHOTS AT THE NEWS General Camara, who set out some with his fleet for the Philly through the Suez Canal, has led to return to Spain, and is the Mediterranean on his way. Banking of the Spanish cruisers XIII and Reina Mercedes, now confirmed, reduces the Spanish strength by twenty-one vessels.

The in the fighting capacity which have suffered is all of 70 per serving Spain as a naval power in rank than Holland, Denmark, etc. Report from Washington that a privateer is hovering off the British Columbia is not credited Francisco. Some time ago reported that a man named had cabled from Victoria to the authorities at Madrid asking for marque to fit out a war prey upon the treasure coming from the Klondike. At this was thought to be merely artising scheme to revive the interests in the Klondike gold and no trace of Brown could be Victoria. If a Spanish privately cruising off British Columbia have rich pickings. The Roanoke and St. Paul are due almost any day from St. Michaels big shipments of treasure to North American Trading and Portation Company. The steamer New is also due with returning boats and their clean-ups. The keel and Leelanaw are bound for and the St. Paul for San Francisco Sloss of the Alaska Company, when told of the privateer, said of course such was possible, but he did not believe He placed the rumor on a last season's story, that Chinese contemplated an attack on Sandie fleet, and which story the government to send a revenge north to escort a treasure town. The United States gunboat is the only government vessel in Alaskan waters and sheaving a surveying expedition to courtmartial of the commodore for obeying orders, but was induced by the President to forego that and supersede Schley, then in command of the blockading fleet, with Sampson. The trouble grew out of Schley's failure to locate Cervera at Santiago, and in his remaining two days at Cienfuegos while the Spanish admiral was in Santiago harbor. It is also said that Schley proceeded on the idea that the commander of the fleet was a better judge of what should be done at sea than the bureau officials at Washington, and his procedure along that line led to the threatened courtmartial. The completed assessment list of Orange county for 1898 has been turned over by Assessor Vegley to the Supervisors who have been during the week sitting as a board of equalization. The assessor's report shows a total valuation of $10,214,725, a gain over last year of $25,920. The total land accrage assessed is 441,444.03, and the figures of the assessment are as follows: Country property, $5,393,135; improvements on same, $967,185; city property, $1,445,050; improvements on same, $1,074,130; personal property, $1,224,495; money and solvent credits, $99,730. Commodore Watson's Eastern squadron—consisting of the Newark, Iowa and Oregon; the auxiliary cruisers Yankee, Dixie and Yosemite; the collers Abaranda, Scandia and Alexander—are ready to sail from Santiago to capture or destroy the Spanish fleet under Camara. It has been determined that the squadron shall not delay to bombard ports in Spain or the Canaries. The colliers are full of coal. There is more waiting in the Mediterranean along the route to the Philippines. After the Navy's Porto Rican program has been decided another strong squadron will go to the Spanish coast to carry out the plan originally confided to Watson of reducing the cities and naval stations. If events in the Philippines take a serious turn this second division will proceed there. The Government has determined that Camara's ships shall not return to Spain, and with one squadron to chase the Spanish fleet and another to be in the Mediterranean, confidence is felt that the enemy cannot escape. After an encounter with a Spanish gunboat on her way from Liverpool, the Shenandoah arrived at Baltimore while it is not believed that Spain is yet ready to ask for peace, it is hoped that she will do so in the near future and thus avoid further bloodshed. It is not to be inferred that the war is to be prosecuted any less vigorously on account of the hope of the administration for early peace; on the contrary, the President and his advisers realize that the best way to bring about that result is to follow up the destruction of Cervera's fleet by other crushing blows against the Spanish military and naval forces. Naturally the President and his Cabinet do not wish to give any official or semi-official indications to what terms they would be disposed to accept from Spain at this time, but it is said that if the Spanish Government should ask the United States to terminate the war with the understanding that Spain was to give up Cuba at once, cede Porto Rico to the United States and allow this Government to retain possession of the Philippines pending the payment of an indemnity by Spain, the proposition might be listened to. There is no color line in the volunteer army. At Camp Alger, among the 20,000 white troops, there is one battalion of colored troops attached to an Ohio regiment. The officers are all colored men, the Major commanding the regiment being Mr. Young, who is the colored West Pointer in the army. A few days ago an officer of the colored troops stood by a private in a Tennessee regiment in one of the booths that have been erected for the sale of all sorts of things. The private made no move to salute the colored officer. "Don't you salute officers in your regiment?" asked the officer, sharply. The Tennessean looked at the officer for a moment. Then he drawled out. "All coons look alike to me." He has been under arrest ever since awaiting court-martial. A sensation was caused at Camp Barrett at Oakland on Thursday by the refusal of Co. M., from Woodland, to be mustered into the United States volunteer service unless Gov. Budd's appointment of George Baldwin to succeed A. A. Ward as Captain was revoked. Baldwin, who was a major in the old Eighth Regiment, is now a police sergeant in San Francisco. Ward was instrumental in organizing the company and is popular with the men. When Capt. Murray, the mustering officer, called on the company, The pain knows of the defeat of host at Santiago de Cuba and mole are beginning to realize the hide of the disaster, which forces after the fight it regarded as victory." The press exhorts citizens to maintain peace. An important circular has been sent to all public organizations signed readers and bearing the motto "In the meanwhile extraordinary military precautions have taken to quell any internal tensions." General Correia, the Miniswar, and his secretaries are busy day and night. A second call was issued for the Canary Islands, and additional forces of home and cavalry are being raised; the artillery is being augmented; pieces to each battery. The naval armies will total up 220,000 July 15th. The railroads are being war trains on all lines and lines are in readiness at all the stations. A high authority, marshal, expresses the opinion that condemn the war and feel he is driven to bloodshed for most cause by scheming politic and he doubts the army's attitude to the event of civil troubles. The too, while anxious for war, are on the question of loyalty to serious claimants to the throne. Question of succession is an imminent factor in a terribly tense situation. It is believed the government is unable to find a pretext to arrest Gen. Fearing, fearing the part he might be involved in the event of trouble breaking. The House of Representatives atington on Friday afternoon at 2 when Speaker Reed announced second session of this Congress ended without day," a great cheer and then began a scene which, similar to the usual closing scenes for sessions, far surpassed in itsasm and manifest good feeling similar episode in the memory of most member of the House. The members of the packed galleries, who seem to go, paused as they heard the event of trouble breaking. Mr. members hurriedly crowded the Speaker's stand and joined her singers, until within a short seemed all the members present including in swelling the volume of Presently a voice here and there galleries joined in, and it was long until members and spectators all singing the patriotic hymn. Scene was a marked transition from many partisan demonstrations had been witnessed such a short before. Democrats and Republicans now singing in accord the na-them. When the song ceased member proposed three cheers nation's President and the roar and that followed came from a house. "The North, the South, and West, a united country," was more waiting in the Mediterranean along the route to the Philippines. After the Navy's Porto Rican program has been decided another strong squadron will go to the Spanish coast to carry out the plan originally confided to Watson of reducing the cities and naval stations. If events in the Philippines take a serious turn this second division will proceed there. The Government has determined that Camara's ships shall not return to Spain, and with one squadron to chase the Spanish fleet and another to be in the Mediterranean, confidence is felt that the enemy cannot escape. After an encounter with a Spanish gunboat on her way from Liverpool, the Shenandoah arrived at Baltimore last week, and will take on a cargo of coal for San Francisco, which may be sent on to Manila. She is the largest American vessel afloat, and will take about 4800 tons of fuel aboard. It is believed that her cargo will be loaded on colliers bound for Manila from San Francisco. The Shenandoah has had more experiences with Spaniards than has fallen to the lot of most American merchantmen. At the beginning of the war she was reported captured by the Spaniards, but this report proved to be unfounded. While in Liverpool, Captain Murphy was cabled by Arthur Sewall & Co. of Bath, Me., owners of the Shenandoah, to insure the vessel heavily before sailing. The captain of the ship, however, placed more reliance in cannon than in insurance. He purchased in Liverpool two four-inch rifled cannon and had them placed aboard ship. He then cabled to Bath what he had done. While the Shenandoah was rounding the southwest coast of Ireland, on June 7th, five days out from Liverpool, a Spanish gunboat made directly for her at the rate of about 18 knots at hour. Two shots were fired at the Shenandoah, one of which fell within a hundred feet of her. Captain Murphy had his cannon loaded, and proceeded immediately to return the fire. The gunboat evidently was surprised when she heard the report of the rifles, and as the wind was favorable to the sailing vessel, the pursuit was soon given up. Assistant Naval Constructor Richard P. Hobson of the flagship New York and the seven men who, with him, sailed the collier Merrimac into the channel of the harbor of Santiago de Cuba, on June 3 last and sunk her there, were last week surrendered by the Spanish military authorities in exchange for prisoners captured by the American forces. Hobson and his men were escorted through the American lines by Capt. Chadwick of New York, who was awaiting them. Every step of their journey was marked by the wildest demonstration on the part of the American soldiers, who threw aside all semblance of order, scrambled out of the entrenchments, knocked over tents, guys and other camp paraphernalia in their eagerness to see the returning heroes, and sent up cheer after cheer for the men who had passed safely through the jaws of death to serve their country. The same scenes of enthusiasm were repeated upon the arrival of the men at the hospital station and our base at Juragua. Hobson, who reached there in advance of his companions, was taken on board the New York immediately. The flagship's deck was lined with officers and men, and as Hobson clambered up her side and stepped on board his vessel, the harbor rang with the shouts and cheers of his comrades, which were re-echeoded by the crews of a dozen transports lying near by. The fact that several of the vessels selected for Watson's fleet were in the thick of the engagement of July 3d promises to delay somewhat the departure of the Eastern squadron for The Tennessean looked at the officer for a moment. Then he drawled out. "All coons look alike to me." He has been under arrest ever since awaiting court-martial. A sensation was caused at Camp Barrett at Oakland on Thursday by the refusal of Co. M, from Woodland, to be mustered into the United States volunteer service unless Gov. Budd's appointment of George Baldwin to succeed A. Award as Captain was revoked. Baldwin, who was a major in the old Eighth Regiment, is now a police agent in San Francisco. Ward was instrumental in organizing the company and is popular with the men. When Capt. Murray, the mustering officer, called on the company, in the exercise of his duty, Capt. Ward stepped forward and announced that his men refused to be mustered in under the commanding officer chosen by the Governor. Then the captain called on the men individually, but only three responded. Four others announced their willingness to join some other company, but the rest were obdurate. The company then returned to their quarters and were next day sent back to Woodland. It is stated that they will at once be dishonorably dismissed from the National Guard, and all their uniforms and equipments turned over to the State. Quartermaster Hiller at once began taking an inventory of their effects. Col. Henshaw received orders from Gov. Budd to dismiss Co. M if it refused to be mustered. The company of National Guardsmen from Woodland which refused to enter the United States service under the captain named by Gov. Budd was on Friday mustered out of the State militia. Capt. Ward has been ordered to turn over all the State and government property in his possession, and he will not be relieved of his bond until a satisfactory settlement is made with the State. John Rodd, a negro of unusual size and 35 years old, was frightened to death during the progress of the most violent electrical, wind and rain storm ever known in the central portion of St. Clair county. Mo. He resided with his wife and two children in a log hut built in a heavily wooded section. During a temporary lull in the electrical bombardment Rodd arose and dressed preparatory to taking his family to a more secure place among the near-by rocks. He was already badly frightened, and when as he reached door, an unusually severe thunderclap, accompanied by a blinding flash of lightning, broke directly over the little cabin. Rodd stood transfixed a moment, then his eyes rolling wildly, he fell to the floor, crouching there in the shadows. He attempted to say a prayer, but the words failed him. He could only moan and clasp at the rough floor with his nails, this being proven by the lacerated condition of his nails and fingers. In his agony of fright he also bit entirely through his under lip. A succeeding fierce streak of lightning which struck oak completed the shock tothe nervous system and superstitious nature ofthe negro and he expired.

"The North, the South, and West, a united country," was wied, and then in turn came the song of the war, Dewey, Schley, Hobampson and finally former Reptitive Gen. Joseph Wheeler, who clunging, though ill, to his comfront of Santiago, was named, the hall resounded with cheers of long strength. Then the singing ended. Meantime Sergeant-atRussel had brought in 200 small can flags, and every member was waving one. The Star Spangled Banner" was while flags waved and the galcheered. Later followed "Yanoodle" and "Dixie," the latter poss for the first time in the House members. Cheers for the Speaker driven, and then the members beeaving, saying farewell to colns. "Home Sweet Home" and Lang Syne" supplanted the static airs, and impressed more only upon the hearers that another man was ended. Meadowell, when the singing, mounted the clerk's stand and encued that Mr. Allen of Mississippi opened a recruiting office in the and Means Committee-room, and minutes later Mr. Allen, popularwn as "Private John," arose and "The Congressional Rough Riders" report to me in the Committeeand enlist for Cuba." The announcement was suggestive of speech delivered a couple of days in which he proposed that a comof Congressmen be recruited for war. Sharp discussion was occasioned in state over a resolution tendering banks of Congress to Commodore by for destroying Cervera's fleet. Resolution was sent to the naval committee and was not reported to the adjournment of ConIt develops that Secretary some months ago threatened a country. The same scenes of enthusiasm were repeated upon the arrival of the men at the hospital station and our base at Juragua. Hobson, who reached there in advance of his companions, was taken on board the New York immediately. The flagship's deck was lined with officers and men, and Hobson clambered up her side and stepped on board his vessel, the harbor rang with the shouts and cheers of his comrades, which were re-echoed by the crews of a dozen transports lying near by. The fact that several of the vessels selected for Watson's fleet were in the thick of the engagement of July 3d promises to delay somewhat the departure of the Eastern squadron for the shores of Spain. The vessels have consumed a good deal of coal and doubtless have expended a large quantity of their highest grade of ammunition in the furious attack on the steel war ships of the Spaniards. It will be necessary to replenish these stores before the long ocean voyage is begun. However, Secretary Long has given rush orders for the preparation of this squadron, and it certainly will be off in a few days. The movements of the Cadiz fleet are very puzzling to experts at Washington. Weakened as it is by the sending back of the torpedo-boat destroyers, the Spanish squadron bound for the Philippines seems destined to go to sure destruction, as did Cervera's unlucky ships when they headed westward from the Cape Verde islands. The Spaniards are, without doubt, fully aware of the inferiority of their fleet and why they persist in sending it to be sunk in the Philippines is a mystery. The department has been advised that the squadron has passed through the Suez canal, and as the vessels must have paid the heavy toll required in advance, the indications are now regarded as conclusive that the ships are actually bound for the Philippines. This belief stimulates the preparations for Watson's sailing. He will strike straight after Camara, who, in the end, is doomed to be caught between Watson and Dewey. No official confirmation has been received at Washington of the report from Madrid by way of London that the Spanish Government realizes the hopelessness of continuing the war with the United States and will sue for peace. Any overtures from Spain would be gladly received by the administration, and if reasonable terms should be proposed they would be accepted.
