The sick and wounded soldiers
in Cuba have had bad treatment.
This Is true. Now, who is to blame,
is the important issue and the
guilty parties should be made to
suffer severely when discovered.
At present General Shaf,er does
not appear to be wholly blameless

The enemy recognized the flag Of
truce and not a shot was fred until Col
Dorst retired. AT first the men in the
rifle pits on both sides showed them
selves rather gingerly, but when they
saw there was no danger all climbed
out of their narrow confines, stretched
their legs and surveyed each other
curiously across the intervening lines.
Men who had tried to pick each other
out for four days, examined each
others position and made mental notes
for further use. Many Of our officers
examined the line of the enemy care
fully for masked batteries and en-
trenchments. A correspondent Of the
Associated Press secured with glasses
an excellent view of the situation. Our
trenches and rifle pits extend on the
top Of the high ground bordering on
the city from the San Juan redoubt and
sweep northward and westward.

sCHLEY THE REAL HERO.

Representative Berry Asks Congress
to Recognize That Fact.
WASHINGTON, July 5.-Represent-
alive Berry, of Kentucky, a member
of the house committee on foreign af-
fairs, today introduced the following:
Joint resolution rendering the thanks Of
congress to Commodore Schley, U. s. N,
and the officers and men under his COM
mand:
Resolved, That the thanks Of congress
and of the American people are hereby ten
dered to Commodore Schley, U. s. N, and
the officers and men under his command for
their heroic and distinguished conduct in de-
stroying the Spanish feet in Cuban waters
on the Sd Of July last"
The resolution was referred to the
naval affairs committee. Mr.. Berry,
in speaking of his resolution, said:
II propose that the officer to whom
glory is due shall be recognized
Schley Is the real hero of the incident.
He and the brave band Of officers and
men under his immediate direction are
the ones who achieved the victory,
and all honor should be given them.
Sampson commands the fleets In those
waters, but it was Commodore Schley
in command when. Cervera and his
fleet made the plucky attempt at es-
cape, and it was under Schley that
every one of the Spanish fleet met It's
destruction. Schley and his men have
performed notable feat that will go
down in history hand-in-hand with
that daring forcing of Manila harbor
by Dewey on May 1. Congress should
ices, and there should be no delay in
rendering It's thanks and those Of the
country to the real heros at Santi-
ago -

SPANISH PRISONERS.
Government PerpIexed as to What
Disposition to Make of Them

Imposition to Make of Them
WASHINGTON, July 5.-The oues.
ton Of what disposition to make of
Spanish prisoners taken by the United
States forces Is causing the war de-
partment some perplexity. The matter
was under discussion today, but Score
tary Alger said no conclusion had been
reached as to the steps to be taken. 1t
is realized that the naval prisoners can
not be kept long aboard ship. They
must be gotten off before any active
operations are taken by SIMPSONS
heet against the shore batteries.
1t has been suggested that the pris-
oners be loaded on the transports avail
able and that the vessels be anchored
we'll out in the water pending their
final disposition. AS was the practice
during the late war, the naval prisoners
In all probability will be turned over
to the care Of the army. Gen. Shafter,
however, already has his hands full in
this direction for, according to the I'M
official reports which have reached
here, he has captured large number
Of prisoners.
One suggestion which the army Off
Gals have under consideration is the
establishment somewhere near by Shat
ters army of large camp where both
the army and navy prisoners may be
located.
A suggestion that it might be in
good taste to bring Admiral Cervera
and his staff to Washington, where
they could be placed on parole, meets
with some favor In army circles. though
it Is very questionable whether such
action will be taken.
The suggestion that the Spanish pris-
oners be brought to the United States
is sure to meet with objection from
those who are fearful that this would
Increase the danger of the importation
Of yellow fever.

fire the Americans In turn poured, in
staggered the Spanish line and sent
1t Keeling backward with heavy loss.
The Americans had advanced from
the trenches for the first time and
while the Spanish were in the open
our Calling battery on the extreme
left did some horrible execution. The
casualties among our men were not
heavy. Gen. Hawkins was shot in the
foot.
Over 200 additional wounded were
taken to the rear during the night,
one batch consisting Of 120.
Under Gen. Skaters order the bat
tie was reopened along the whole line.
At this hour the sound of firing Is like
the long roll Of machine guns, pune
tuated by the heavy boom Of the can
non.
The reserves were ordered to the
front today Our loss has now reached
100 killed and wounded.
Part of the night attack was directly
opposite to the station of the Third
and Sixth cavalry. Capt. Bowden, of
the Third cavalry, went with work.
ing party at a. m. to strengthen the
line Of entertainments between Gen.
Chaffee's brigade on the right ana
Gen. Kent's division on the left.
Whether it was an accident Is not
known, but he clashed with the Span
ish, who were advancing In front or
the working party, and was Obliged to
retire.
Every hour adds to the number OF
killed and wounded
The Spaniards did not last long
enough to draw the fire Of the Ameri-
can main line.
The action lasted eighteen minutes
and went on simultaneously at several
points along our line.
The Spanish loss could not be
learned.

Kingston, Jamaica, July 5-Admiral
Ceryera held consultation with his
officers before sailing out Of the har-
Dor OF Santiago, and by a small ma
1ority the move was agreed upon. The
minority said that destruction was
sure, as many Of the f1remen had
mutln1ed and the best men In the fleet
were worn out by serving the guns In
the shore batteries. Early on the morn
ing Of the sortie careful observations
were taken of the sea- east and west
Admiral Cervera decided upon taking
the westward course with Manzanillo,
Cienfuegos, or, If possible, Havana the
port to be reached. He would have
gone east, but for the sighting of a.
large transport fleet off Siboney, and
the assurance that a convoy of war
vessels was still with the transports.
AS matter of fact there is no war
vessel larger than a converted yacht
except the New York, that could have
obstructed Admiral Cervera's escape
eastward
Naval men here are sure that the
Spanish vessels could have disabled or
sunk the New York and escaped had
the eastward course been chosen.
1t was feared for a time by many
that some of the sailors and officers
who were ashore from the Vizcaya, the
Alm1rante Oquendo and Maria Teresa
were killed by the insurgents who were
seen In the chappard near the beach.
This could not be verified at this writ
Ing as no accurate estimate Of the loss
to the Spanish fleet was obtainable.
1t is claimed that one shell killed
100 men ON the Vizcaya, rakicg the
vessel fore and aft.

MADRID, July 5.-Almost indescrib-
able enthusiasm continues to prevail
over the supposed escape Of Admiral
Cervera and his squadron from the
harbor of Santiago de Cuba. The ad-
mirals name is on every tongue, and
Il is claimed that it was he who saved
Santiago de Cuba by adding to Gen.
Linares' handful of soldiers his brave
sailors to man the guns ashore and
repel the Americans under Gen. Shat
ter.
Such is about the eXultant eulogy OF
Admiral Cervera heard on all sides,
the state of public feeling being due
to the official announcements from
Santiago. For instance, one statement
from Santiago is as follows:
when Admiral Cervera found that
1t was certain Col Escarios' reinforce
ments were in proximity to Santiago,
the admiral held council with the
commanders of his squadron disclos-
ing to them a plan to force the block
ade in broad daylight. The command
ers responded unanimously:
'Adelante' forward).
"It was then arranged that the tor
pedo boat destroyers should take
the lead, feigning an attack, and dis
charge their torpedoes against the en-
emy's ships, the Cristobal Colon pro-
tecting their advance, sheltered by the
batteries of MORO castle and distract
Ing the enemy's attention, while the
remainder of the squadron sailed out
of the harbor.
1.-The Americans, at first, were taken
by surprise Then, recovering, they
opened a tremendous fire, especially
against the torpedo boat destroyers
which vessels Admiral Cervera had in
structed to take an opposite course to
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1898-07-06

feel that nothing of that nature will
develop.
ILLUSIONS .DISPELLED.
The state department. today took oc-
casion to dispel some Of the Spanish
illusions over the escape Of Admiral
Cervera's fleet. 1t seems that Madrid
is not alone in the belief that the fleet
made handsome sortie from Santiago
and left the American ships far in the
rear. Today a cablegram came from
United States Minister Lunis, at Cara
cas-, saying the Spanish residents there
were clarifying in the Spanish naval
victory. The minister was informed
briefly that Cervera's fleet had been
destroyed, the admiral made a pris-
oner, and that Gen. Shafter had de-
manded the surrender Of the city.
The definite official report reaching
here today that the Spanish fleet had
entered the Suez canal made no change
in the plans Of the navy department
as to sending Commodore Watson's
squadron to the coast Of Spain Sec
rotary Long said it would start at the
earliest possible moment, but he did
not care to give the day Of departure.
The humiliation Of the Spanish fleet
continues to be an absorbing topic
among naval officials, and they are
giving much generous praise to Com
modore Schley for the notable manner
in which he directed the fight when
the immediate command fell to his lot.

CAPTURE OF THE COLON.
Spanish Cruiser Chased for a Dis
tance of Sixty Miles.


lance of Sixty Miles.
Copyright by the Associated Press.
OFF SANTIAGO DE CUBA, July 4
(via Port Antonio, Jamaica, July s, by
way Of Kingston, Jamaica, July o.
After q chase of sixty miles to the
westward the Brooklyn, closely follow
ed by the Oregon, overhauled the Girls
tobal Colon, after she had run ashore
and mad hauled down her flag. Capt.
Cook, of the Brooklyn, went Oh board
of her, and the commander Of the Span
ish armoIed cruiser came forward to
surrender and was taken on board the
New York, which came up an hour
after the Brooklyn and Oregon had
completed the capture of the Cristobal
Colon. The latter was not seriously
damaged, though she was struck sew
eral times by shots from the Brooklyn
and Oregon.
During the chase g. clever maneuver
Of Commodore Schley's In heading due
west to Cape Caney, while the Cristobal
Colon had taken a more southerly d.
rection, with a much greater distance
to cover rendered the Spaniards escape
There seemed to be no doubt that
the Cristobal Colon and perhaps the
other three Spanish armored cruisers
would have escaped had 1t not been
for the prompt action of Commodore
Schley. The Brooklyn, his flagship.
alone was in a position to attack the
Spanish vessels as they left the har-
Dor, and the commodore steamed d.
rectly towards them and engaged all
four cruisers, inf1icting great damage
upon them.
The Oregon was the first to Join the
Brooklyn, and afterward the Iowa, In
diana, Texas and Vixen closed around
the Spaniards, all pouring in a deadly
fire, but from the beginning to the end
Of the fight the Brooklyn, Oregon and
Gloucester took the most important
part in the destruction Of the enemy.
One man, George Henry Ellis, was
killed on board the Brooklyn. His
head was blown off by a shell. One
other man, j. Burns, was injured on
board of her.
The Brooklyn was struck half a
| dozen times, but no injury was done to
| any Of the other American ships.
