TO ACCEPT NO INVITATIONS.
In an interview with the reporters Captain
| Eulate said that while his ship was In port his
officers would accept no invitations or any kind.
The Spanish warship had come here on a visit
of courtesy and friendship, and when the dread
full accident to the Maine was learned the flags
were put at half-mast. and there they
would remain until the ship departed. He
likened his visit to that OF one intimate friend
TO another when disaster had overtaken the
latter. In such a time delicacy dictated tha'
all festivity should be avoided. No invitations
OF social character would be accepted-this ..e
wished TO have understood.
Referring to the catastrophe that had over
taken the Maine. he declared that he and his
officers were greatly shocked. and that the
sympathy Of all were with the families who
had lost those near and dear In frank and
earnest way he expressed his sorrow, saying
that he had duly sent telegram to the Secre-
tary of the Navy expressing his sentiments
and those OF the officers.

Joseph Nelson Miller. whom he had met while

uelan waters some years ago, and Of the many
