as he looks through his glass at the

than any territory ever annexed by the

Off Santiago de Cuba, Monday, July
4, p. nj. per associated press dis
patch boat Cynthia U.-Aftera chase
Of 60 miles to the westward, the
Brooklyn, closely followed by the
Oregon, oycrhauled the Cristobal
Colon after she had run ashore and
had run down her flag. Captain Cook
Of the Brooklyn went on board Of her,
and the commander Of the Spanish
armorcd cruiser came forward to sur
render and was taken on board the
New York, which came up an hour
after the Brooklyn and Oregon had
completed the capture Of the Cristo-
bal Colon. The latter was not ser-
ously damaged, though she was
struck several times by shots from
the Brooklyn and Oregon. During
the chase clever maneuycr Of Com
modore Schley's in heading due west,
to Cape Cancy, while the Cristobal
Colon had taken a more southerly
direction with a much greater dis
tance to travel, rendered the Span
iard's escape impossible. u@.
There seems to be no doubt that
the Cristobal Colon and perhaps the
other three Spanish armorcd cruisers
would have escaped had it not been
for Commodore Schley's prompt ac-
tion. The Brooklyn, his flagship,
alone was in a position to attack the
Spanish vessels as they left the har-
Dor, and tile commodore steamed di-
rcctly towards them and engaged all
four cruisers, intlicting great damage
upon them. The Oregon was the
first to join the Brooklyn, and after
ward the Iowa, Indiana, Texas and
Nixen closed around the Spaniards,
all pouring in deadly fire. but from
the beginning to the end Of the fight
tue Brooklyn, the Oregon and the
Gloucester took the most important
part in the destruction Of the enemy.
One man, George II. 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 in
jury was done to any Of the other
American ships.

REMEMBEREp THE MAINE.
Wainwright Inplorcd the Department for
:: Command.

Syracuse, New York, June g.
Lieutenant Commander Wainwright
is we'll known here owing to family
connections. In speaking OF his
agnficcnt work at Santiago, his
cousin says:
'Ihere is an interesting story in
connection with his being appointed
to cammand the Gloucester. AS yon
know, Lieutenant Commander Vain
wright was second in command on the
Maine. Unlike many other officers
of the navy, he believes, while the
work was not done with the sanction
Of the Spanish government, 1t was
done by the officers Of the Spanish
army and navy, who were acquainted
with the locations Of the mines.
Naturally Lieutenant Commander
Wainwright is Of a quiet disposition,
but the tragedy worked a great
change in him. He was extremely
anxious for an opportunity to wrcak
revenge upon the men who were res
ponsiblc for the destruction Of the
vessel. Owing to there being 81
many officers above him he was afraid
he could not get a ship, and implored
the government to give him com
mand OF some vessel, if it were only
Il row boat.
"His opportunity came when the
government bought the Corsair and
renamed her the Gloucester, and
since then he has been in command
of the craft in Cuban waters. lie
knows no fear, Il fact which he showed
yesterday when attacked by the two
torpedo boat dcstrOycrs, the shore
batteries and the Njzcaya, and We
are all proud Of him, and feel that he
is gratiticd in doing such good wor|
in remembering the Maine. "

Although not in such great numbers,
the living are prisoners to the Amer

rose to height that won the most
enthusiastic applause Of everybody
"The Vizcaya surrendered. The

generosity with which they are
treated. Among the dead are Ailla-

BIG FIGURES FOR WOOL.
The First Clip Sold ut Great Falls Brings
II / n Cents

'|f N.cHlS.
Great Falls, July G.-The wool
market opened in this city today and
it opened in a manner which will
make the heart Of every wool grower
in Northern Montana glad. There
were only four clips sold, but they
brought prices which have not been
realized since the slump in prices in
'93, and it means that not only are
good prices to be realized for the wool
crop Of this year, but it makes more
prominent than ever the fact that
the Great Falls market pays the high
est TO be had in the state or else
where in the west. 1t also means
that the prediction Of Senator Mantle
that 20 cents would be paid for wool
during the season Of 1898 is not so
wild as it appeared to many in the
winter
That a clip should bring III cents
on the opening day Of the season is
something surprising and prophecy
Of better prices to follow. Hughes
Bros. OF poldera received that figure
for their clip from l.. S. Harraclough.
representing j II. koshand & Co. of
Boston. The same buyer took the
clip Of Wingatc & Co. at lG! cents.
+. W. Thaycr, buyer for Weston,
t'arnsworth x Thaycr Of Boston, took
two eli that Of Pearson Bros. Of
pOndcra 1T IbI cents and that of
Bannatvnc Bros. at the same figure.
This is a most auspicious opening,
aud if the market follows the rule Of
other years there is likely to be a
marked rise before the season closes.
