SPANISH TROOPS IN CUBA.
Nearly 100000 Men for Americans

New York. April 27.-"It will take
more than 10000 men to subjugate the
Spanish in Cuba" said James H. Spring
er, United States consul at Caibaron, Gu
ba, who arrived in this city today on the
tramp steamer Ravonsdale. The Spanish
on the island will be able to raise between
100000 and 100000 men. In my opinion,
the insurgents can not muster more than
$4,000 men or 10000 at the most and they
are for the most part ill-provisioned and
equipped"

CERvERA INTERVIEWED
"A Spanish-American Citizen Visits
the Admiral


NEW YORK, July 21-After Admiral
Cervera and the crew of his ruined Spanish
ships arrived in this country. says the
world, Emilion Castillo, President of the
Spanish Benevolent Society Of this city,
obtained permission from President Nc
Kinley to pay a visit to the prisoners. Mr..
Castillo, who was born in Spain, but has
been a citizen of the United States since
1896, has just returned after days visit
at Annapolis. He received courteous
treatment from Admiral McNair and had
conversations with Admiral Cervera and
his officers. After explanation to reporter
that the purpose of his visit was to offer
such aid as the Spanish officers might need,
Mr. Castillo said:
admiral Cervera and his officers ex-
pressed great gratitude for the generous
treatment Of the American government.
Nothing that could add to their physical
comfort has been omitted"
Mr.. Castillo said that the view that the
Spanish fleet was outclassed prevailed
among Cervera's officers while the ships
lay in Santiago bay.
"There was always a shortage of COAL, -
Mr.. Castillo said. "They could not injure
the American fleet because they came out
Of Santiago harbor In single file. Each ship
was pounded as she came out"
Mr.. Castillo said the Spanish government
had sent draft for $4,000 for the expenses
of the men In this country, and that the
money Is now available.
Admiral Cervera's figures show that &c
of the officers were lost. He has learned
that one who was reported as missing has
turned up at Santiago.
"Have Admiral Cervera and his officers
formed any plans for the future?"
"Plans," said Mr.. Castillo with laugh
"they are prisoners"

ANNEXATION
THE PORTO RICO JUNTA OPENLY
ADVOCATES IT
Senior de Castro Says It Means the Sal

Of Its People

NEW YORK. July 22.-senor p. De Castro,
one Of the prominent members Of the Porto
Rican junta of this city, when asked as to
the attitude Of the junta, said:
''when that junta was organised we were
pledged to secure the independence Of the
island. That was more than two years ago.
Such q thing as annexation was not dis
cussed, because Spain was not at war with
America At meeting on July II we de-
cided to assist the United States uncondi-
tionally. The majority Of US are In favor
Of annexation. Any talk Of the revolu-
,tionary party Of Porto Rico resisting the
invasion of the Americans is nonsense.
was at the meeting held July Il in this city,
and never heard such threat.
II have grave doubts of our ability to
make a republic of Porto Rico, meaning, as
it does. an internal strife; but annexation
would be successful. The majority Of Porto
Rlcans in this country are heartily in favor
of It. There are some few against annexa-
ton, but none who would counsel resistance
to 1t by force of arms"

WASHINGTON, July 21.-Au official Of
the quartermasters department with Shat
ter's army will be detailed BY General
Shafter to supervise the embarkation Of
the Spanish prisoners for Spain. Accord
ing to the terms Of the contract with the
Spanish Transatlantic Company this will
begin by the 25th inst, when the company
will have five ships at Santiago. Practically
all the preparations for shipping the men
necessarily are left with the quartermaster
at Santiago, the department here seeing to
1t that the transports are at their desig-
mated places on time. Absolute confidence
Is felt by Colonel Hecker, In charge Of the
transportation here, In the ability Of the
Spanish company to carry out Its contract.
He had the opportunity of personally meet
ing Mr.. Cebalios, who representa- the
company at New York, and found him
thoroughly alive to the needs OF the sltua-
ton.
Colonel Heoker feels that his course in
awarding the contract to the Spanish COM
pany, while it may give rise to some upfa-
vorable comment, was the best possible so
luton of the question. Although the enc
my's ships will be allowed to enter our own
ports, yet, after the prisoners are aboard
they will be on the ships Of their mother
country, will be subsisted by the Spanish
company, and on arrival at the Spanish port
or ports will be subject to the police and
quarantine regulations of their country. It
is altogether unlikely, 1t now seems, that
all prisoners will be landed at Cadiz. as
the advertisement asking for proposals to
carry the men indicated might be the case.
as some other port or ports may be desig-
mated by Spain. The question depends. 1t
is thought, in large measure on the Local
ton of the governments lazarette. as It Is
generally expected that the Spanish govern
ment will want to keep the men in quaran-
tine for certain length of time to avoid
any danger which might arise from their
having been camped in localities in or near
which yellow fever has been raging,

BERLIN. July N.-The semi-official

attributed to Admiral Won Diedrichs is
unauthorized; that the German govern

that the Admiral would be called to ac-

lar explanation. So far nothing is known
here officially Of any unfriendly action on
the part of Admiral Won Diedrichs or any

NEW YORK, July N.-A correspondent
of the Journal writing from Cavite, Manila.
July nth, relates the result of an inspec-
ton of the bulls of the Spanish warships
sunk in Manila Bay by the squadron of
Admiral Dewey
The cruiser Reina Cristina shows the
most complete destruction. The course of
the Olympia's eight-inch shells is clearly
traced by line of ruin extending from her
stern to her waist. All her woodwork Is
totally destroyed. There are very few large
shot holes through her hull, the principal
ones being from six-inch shell amidshirs
and from some Of the four-inch shells.
Charred human remains near where the
ladder stood shows that a rush to escape
was made by the engine force All were
lost, as the matches to the engine and fire.
rooms were closed.
The cruiser Castillo was less burned but
was terribly wrecked, There were plain
traces where six big shells tore immense
holes in her wooden hull. When the fire
started, the weight of the guns caved the
hull inward.
The warship is now mass of twisted
iron and charred beams, a bad wreck, re-
sembling that of the Maine in appearance.
Every llilS ait HUN tAic Su8ltcS was SIdl-
tered. Three large shells entered amid
ships.
The Don Antonio de Ulloa did not burn.
She sank quickly, riddled by shells OF all
sizes. The greatest havoc was done by the
six-inch shells.
A number of dead bodies all huddled to-
gether near the ladder leading to the SUI
perstructure, shows that the men were
killed by shell at the time they were at
tempting to lift the treasure chest to the
superstructure and save it.
