ILLUSIONS DISlsl1LLED.
The state department today took oc-
casion to dispel some Of the Spanish
illusions over the es{ape Of Admiral
Cervera's fleet. 1t sesius that Madrid
is not alone in the belef that the fleet
made handsome sorg from SANTIAGO
and left the American aips far in the
rear. Today a cables am came from
United States Minister .unis. at Cara
cas-, saying the SPANS residents there
were clarifying in tl3s Spanish naval
victory. The ministe. vas informed
briefly that Cervera's fleet had been
destroyed, the admiral made a pris.
oner, and that Gen. Snafter 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 ravy department
as to sending Commodore Watson's
squadron to the coast of Spain. Sec
rotary Long said 1t 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.

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 adj
mirals name is on every tongue, and
II 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
ii 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 plan to force the block
ade in broad daylight. The command
ers responded unanimously:
"'Adelante' forward).
at was then arranged that the tor
pedo boat destroyers should take
the lead, feigning an attack, and dis
charge their torpedoes against the en-
emys 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.
THE Americans, at first, were taken
by surprise. Then, recovering, they
opened tremendous fire, especially
against the torpedo boat destroyers,
which vessels Admiral Cervera had in
structed to take an opposite course to

Cervera held consultation with his
sofhcers before sailing out Of the har-
DOR OF Santiago, and by a small ma

MADRID, July Is p. m.).-Senor Sa-

has been defeated, that the Almirante
Oquendo was burned and the Maria
Teresa sunk, and Admiral Cervera
himself is u prisoner of war. The dis
patch containing the information has
not yet been fully deciphered.
FACTS FINALLY PUBLISHED.
LONDON, July 6-The Madrid cor
respondent of the Times says:
sources describing the destruction Of
Admiral Cervera's squadron, which
the morning papers considered wild
exaggerations and consequently held
back have now been published in
special editions. They are generally
regarded as substantially true, and
have produced q most painful impress
sion among all classes, but there is
perfect tranquility. I perceive no
symptoms Of dangerous popular ex-
element
LONDON, July 5.-The Madrid cor
respondent OF the Times says:
admiral Cervera's family have re-
ceived a telegram, professedly from
him, stating that he is q prisoner, but
It's authenticity is doubted. The fol-
lowing is the only official dispatch the
government has received since yester-
day:
"At dusk last night there reached the
Socapa battery several shipwrecked
men from the sunken torpedo boat de-
stroyers. They said the Infanta Maria
Teresa was steaming in a damaged
condition, out of sight of the town, and
that the Alnirante Oquendo was afire.
Subsequently other sailors, 1 do not
know how many, got ashore and con-
firmed the above. The enemy attacked
our forces during the morning, caus-
ing US a loss of seven wounded. Col.
Escarios' column has arrived
The dispatch goes on to describe the
Intervention of the foreign consuls at
Santiago and the offer Of the Ameri-
cans to delay bombardment on the
morning of july 5, providing the Span
iards refrained from attacking them.

OFF SANTIAGO DE CUBA, July 4
(via Port Antonio, Jamaica, July 5, by
way of Kingston. Jamaica, July o.
After a 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
and Oregon.
During the chase q clever maneuver
Of Commodore Schleys in heading due
west to Cape Caney, while the Cristobal
Colon had taken a more southerly d.
rection, with much greater distance
to cover, rendered the Spaniard's escape
impossible.
There seemed to be no doubt that
the Cristobal Colon and perhaps the
other three Spanish armored cruisers
would have escaped had it 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.

provided on board the torpedo boat de-
stroyers, whose crews anticipated that
their vessels would be destroyed
The foregoing is the popular Span
ish version Of the sortie Of Admiral
Cervera from the harbor of Santiago
de Cuba. and the sacrifice of the crews
Of the torpedo boat destroyers Is said
to be highly appreciated by the queen
regent, while the general public Is over
Joyed at their conduct. It is supposed,
here, that Admiral Cervera is running
for Havana, since he has not been re-
ported as arriving at CienfuegOs, and
there will be tremendous anxiety here
until it is reported that Admiral Ger
vera and his squadron are safe in Ha-
vana harbor. Hopes are expressed in
this city that the Spanish admiral may
capture or destroy some American YES
sells while on his way to Havana.
These contradictory versions of the
sorties have caused tinge of perplex-
ity and dampness on the general feel
Ing.
In military circles 1t is thought Gen.
Shafter has been repulsed, that Ad-
miral Sampson has been baff1ed, and
the universal aspect Of the war
changed, but the general expression is
that peace at present is impossible on
terms satisfactory to the national feel
ing.
LONDON, July 5.-The dispatches of
the Associated Press telling Of the de-
struction Of Admiral Cervera's fleet, in
Guiding the official accounts Of the bat
tie. have been telegraphed to Madrid
and the dispatch just received from
Madrid at the Office here of the Asso-

United States giving the Spanish YER

Spanish censor has suppressed the AS

"A message received from Gen. Shafter
indicates that the situation of tba ne.o-

not only panic-stricken over the fear

OF the city and that the only growing

Speaking OF the troops under his
command Gen. Shafter SAYS: "The mon

In the course Of another dispatch

SITUATION IS DESPERATE.
Gen. Skaters statement of the situa-
ton In Santiago is borne out by the
condition of the men captured by the
american fleet from the vessels of Ger
vera's squadron. They had been on
half rations SO long that many Of them
were nearly famished, and If they had
not been taught that capture by the
Americans meant death, they would
have welcomed 1t, because it insured
them good food and plenty of it,
1t is learned authoritatively that ire
mendous pressure is being brought to
bear upon the Spanish commander of
Santiago by the foreign consuls, resi-
dent in the city, to induce him in the
interest of humanity to surrender to
the inevitable. The consuls have COM
nunicated with their home govern
ments, and 1t is believed here that rep
reservations will be made by them TO
Spain to induce her to permit the city
to surrender, thereby preventing fur
ther loss of life and property What
the. result OF these negotiations may
be cannot be foretold The opinion ex-
pressed by war officials is that the
Spaniards will fight to the last and
oapitulate only when they are forced to
do so. For that reason any delay of
offensive action against the city is not
regarded i'll army circles with favor.
