RAIL AT THEIR COUNTRY.
Spanish Papers Become Hystertcal
Over Cervera's Defeat.

New York, July 2S.-Here are further
quotations from Spanish newspapers
regarding the loss of Cervera's squad
ron:
The Heraldo, Of Madrid exclaims:
This is horrible! This is dreadful!
ION account of the lost ships? No
Spaniard would weep over ships lost
in another Trafalgar. On account,
then, of the blood that was shed? There
is Cuba covered with our blood, and
nobody ever thought of it. What
makes our grief greater is not the ex-
tent of our disaster, but the consldera-
ton that what for US was humiliation
was for the Yankees the affair of one
moment. These figures tell their own
tale:
"Cadarso is killed, and with him hun
dreds of obscure heroes fell also. But
what did it cost Dewey to produce
such a terrible catastrophe? Six wound
ed sailors. Our best fighting ships, our
admirable cruisers, our swift destroyerS
are sunk off the Cuban coast, their
crews are slain or captured, with Ad-
miral Cervera, at their head, but what
did such a complete victory cost Samp-
son? One dead and two wounded These
figures make not only a striking con-
trast, but they produce the effect OF
hedhot iron in the flesh.
What! Is there no means by which
we may kill as we are killed? Is there
no means by which the guns of our
ships may cause slight scratch on the
enemy?
IN a Trafalgar all would certainly
be fire and shell and death: but fire
and shells and death would equally
reach the two contending foes and
thus glory would be equally shared.
But in these battles of today there is
no limit to our adversely. The Colon,
the Vizcaya, the Oquendo, the Maria
Teresa, the Pluton, the F'uror, all strug-
gle like lions, but their supreme col
lapse comes through depression, like
wild beasts tired of uselessly roaring
before the conQuerer's sarcastic hur-
rahs."
Ell Liberal, of Alicante, says that
Premier Sagasta is opposed to the
building of any Qualifications in that
port, because, in his opinion the
Americans will not dare to lombard it
as long it is kept in a defenseless condi-
ton"

SOME SEASIDE FEATURES.
Several People Narrowly Escape
Drowning at Atlantic City.

Atlantic City, N. J., July 28.-Yester-
day was a day of accidents at this re-
sort. But this is not to be wondered
at when 1T is taken into consideration
that there were fully $4,000 visitors
here, and that a majority of them in
dulged in a plunge in the surf. The
great wonder is that no fatalities Oc-
CURED, and the fact that they did not
is a tribute to the local force of life
guards. The surf was heavy and there
was a treacherous undertow which
swept many a luckless bather off his
feet.
In all ten rescues were effected. The
most sensational of these was that of
the collector of the port of Philadelphia,
G. Wesley Thomas. He is one of Sen
ator Quay's Heutenants in keystone
state politics. Mr.. Thomas was bathing
in comparative shallow water at the
foot of South Carolina avenue, when a
wave knocked him off his feet and car
ried him into deep water before he could
come to the surface. His peril was no
ticed by Guards Lindsey and Heckler,
who were in the lifebOats. The latter

a hard struggle succeeded in reaching

Come Down From Dawson on
the Humboldt.
Four Boxes of Nuggets Weigh
ing 1900 Pounds
BY ONE MAN.
Another Has Five Boxes Weigh
ing 1900 Pounds.
One Passenger Has a Draft For
$4,000.

Seattle, Wash, July 2S.-Steamer
humboldt has arrived from st. Michael
with 112 passengers from Dawson City
and about one million dollars in gold
dust and as much more in drafts. This
is the estimate of Purser Twigg, who
says that it is a very conservative one.
About 100000 in dust was turned over
to him for safe keeping. Among the
passengers were some old timers, nota-
bly, Otto Stander, one of the original
discoverers of Eldorado. Stander had
IN his state room four iron boxes full
OF nuggets weighing about 1900 pounds
in all. Stander would not tell how
much gold he had, but it was generally
understood among the boats passengers
that it amounted to about $3.50, 900.
John Ericsson, another Yukon pioneer,
formerly of California, had five wooden
boxes aggregating 1900 pounds, under
guard in his room. J. D. Menach of
Seattle had a draft for $242, 900, the pro-
ceeds of the sale of his claim number 8,
on Eldorado. c. w. Hall and H. c. L.
Gates, both formerly of Eureka, Cal,
are credited with about $50, 600 apiece.
Q. N. Jackson is said to have 500, 900.
The above named carry the largest
amounts. Other individual holdings
range from one to ten thousand.

RURAL FREE DELIVERY.
Gov. Mount of Indiana, Making a
Test of the system.

Charlottesville, Ind. July 2S.-Gover-
nor Mount of Indiana, has long been a
strong advocate for the rural free de-
livery of mail and he has so interested
himself in the matter that he has sue
ceeded in persuading the postoffice de-
partment to conduct its vital test of the
system on a route extending from
Charlottesville ten miles east to the
Mount farm. Governor Mount has been
at home for several days and has per-
sonally visited those families along the
route and urged the Importance of ia
c1litating, so far as possible, the work
of the carrier. The postoff1ce depart
ment will experiment not only with the
route running to the Mount farm, but
with several others running out from
Charlottesville. Two other routes have
already been agreed upon by Col Smith
and F. NJ. Dice, of the postoffice depart
ment, who are now on the ground. These
routes are considered even more practi-
cable than the route first selected, hav-
ing both their beginning and end in
Charlottesville, whereas the Mount
route ends at the governors farm, ten
miles away. The postoffice department
is greatly interested in the results of
the work here as the conditions for
fair test of the system are regarded to
be ideal. In many of the communities
where the tests have been made it is
claimed that the conditions have been
manufactured.

about 300 people. most of whom We're

BRYAN WON'T RUN.
Fight for Nominal for Governor
May Prevent Fusion in Nebraska

May Prevent Fusion in N Nebraska.
Lincoln. Neb.. July 2s.-Colonel Bryan
has wired to party leaders here that under
no circumstances does he desire that his
name be brought forward as a candidate
for governor. This was in reply to an ur-
gent request from leaders that he accept
the nomination for governor upon the
grounds that it would conduce to party
harmony.
The only difference between the Demo-
Gratis and Populists over the selection of a
fusion ticket this year is which shall
have the governor. the Democrats claim
ing it on the ground that they now have
but two out of the u state officers. while
the Populists insist that they have the gov
ernorship now and ought to have it again
and that the Democrats got the cream last
year. There are a dozen different candi-
dates for governor, and the probability of
a lively fight leads the timid to fear that
perhaps the prospects of fusion will be
lessened unless they could get Bryan to
accept. The conventions meet next week
and there promises to be some lively de-
velOpmentS.

MUSHROOM GARDEN.
a. Rouif Started the Industry in st
Louis But Neighbors Objected.

st. Louis, July 2S.-The unlawful detainer
suit of the German Savings institution
against A. Rouif, for possession of prem
ises at 1 South Commercial street, which
was tried in Justice Haughton's court
yesterday, developed an interesting fact.
The premises were rented from month to
month. Rouif wanted a lease, but the
bank would not give it.
After Rouif had been in possession of
the property for some time the persons
occupying the property adjoining began to
make objections. An Investigation re-
vealed the fact, it is stated, that Rouif
was utilizing the property for growing
mushrooms. His efforts to enrich the
place sufficiently to grow the mushrooms
had caused the neighbors to complain.
