SINKING OF CERVERA'S FLEET.
Executive OGiccr of the Colon Makes
an OficiaI Report of the Fight.

Press Dispatch Boat Cynthia. via Port
! Antonio and Kingston. July s.-l0:2O a.
| M.-Ileutenant Adolphus kentreers, the
| executive officer of the Spanish cruiser
| Crlstobal Colon, has written TO Spain an
| official account Of the movement Of Ad-
miral Cervera's squadron In the fight. The
| Colon came out last. at full speed, and
tried to escape the Brooklyn and oregon,
but was compelled 10 beach sixty miles
west Of Santiago at l:l5 and not at 2
o'clock as stated in Admiral Sampson $
report.
The translation OF the letter by Exec
utive officer Kentreers is as follows:
About . o'clock the squadron got I'M
der way the ships one cables distance
from each other At $3.50 the 1nfanta
Maria Teresa cleared the entrance 10
the haTbor, without receiving any of the
FIRE until she had passed the MORO. The
Vizcaya felt the fire when at the head
OF the entrance, as well as the Cristo-
bal Colon. and II Is certain that the
Amlrante Oquendo opened fire while
within the channel.
when clear OF the entrance the Chris
tobal Colon went ahead at her maximum
speed. The Infanta Marie Teresa. at $3.50
when hardly clear Of the entrance. was
seen to be on FIRE in her after part, and
lew moments afterWard was headed
for the beach

do was seen 10 DE on fire. and she. too.

Ign, manoeuvered as II TO ram, and, with
out doubt at that moment must have re-
ceiyed the projcctles that started the
fire on her the same as on the other
two ships, and she was seen to head for
the beach in order 10 strand herself.
THE Christobal Colon alone remained,
sustaining the fire of the Brooklyn. the
only ship within range but a few mo-
mcnts later she observed the Oregon clos
ing up.
The projectiles Of the Oregon began
reaching US at | r. NJ and that. together
with the fact that II was not possible
TO fight with the after-guns on account
Of the Coon's lack of large caliore pieces.
and the certainty of being overhauled BY
the whole American squadron in a few
hours, left no other remedy than 10 run
ashore in order TO avoid useless sacrifice
Of life.
The Admiral made no signals while
at sea, instructions for forcing the block

meeting which took place on the morning

Edison's Latest Scheme.

tude, perhaps, than any he has yet un-
dertaken. 1t is no less than the applica.
tion of modified form of his ore sepa-
rator, now used in the development of
iron ores Of poor quality, to the treat
ment of gold ores of the same grade. He
says that in couple of years he will be
able to begin work on his new scheme.
He is convinced that there is not sim
gle abandoned gold claim in America,
where gold was ever discovered, from
which the precious ore cannot be ex-
tracted in quantities to pay big margin
of profit over the cost of operation, and
he proposes TO prove the truth Of this
statement. The reason he does not take
the matter un now is that he is deeply
involved il lie production of iron ores
by his recently invented separator, and
he never cares to go into one big scheme
while he has another ON hand. The
process in the development of gold ores
he said, will not differ substantially
from the method Of iron working. The
mining is all done by machinery, not a
hand being required to do any part of it
other than to direct the mechanism.

Butte, Mont, Jan. 13.-Patrick Lar
gey. president OF the State Savings
bank, and one of the best known citi-
zens OF Butte, was killed in the bank
by Thomas ]. Riley. Riley called Lar
gey to the cashiers window where the
two men talked for five minutes Sud-
denly Riley drew a revolver and shot
through the window at Largely. The
bullet struck the latter In the left arm
and shattered the bone. Largey
stopped down and had he continued in
that position he might have escaped
with his life. as he was protected by
the counter.
However, he rose partly, and as he
did so, Riley fired a second shot. The
bullet struck Mr.. Largely In the fore
head, and he fell to the floor dead. The
murderer escaped to the street, where
he was arrested. Threats of lynching
caused his removal to Deer Lodge PEN

lives. Largey was manager of one OF
the companies whose houses exploded,
and Riley was seeking redress for his
