Commodore Schlcy. however, told

Admiral Ccrvcra said he feared the
losses might be greater than he antici-

protected deck, and when the ships
were on fire it must have been difficult
for them to escape. He added that
all his captains had been killed or
wounded; but later it was found that
the Captain Of the Cristobal Colon was
saved
Admiral Cervera also said he had no
doubt that at least three Of the ships
would have gotten away had it not
been for the Brooklyn, the Oregon

with Captain F.nla,c, of the Spanish
armorrd cruiser Vizcaya He said
The entire squadron was ordered
to devote the fire Of the guns to the
l'rooklyn. because it WAS believed
that she was the only ship in the
american squadron that could over
take us. When We got out of the har-
Dor my ship was second in line, and
the Maria Teresa, the flagship, was
getting terrible baptism of fire. 1t
was frightful. The Texas and Brook
Ign were just riddling her, and in fif-
teen minutes I saw she was OH fire.
The Oregon and Iowa were firing on
the O1ucndo, and as yet l had not
been badly hit.
'The Brooklyn was half mile
closer to US than any other ship, and
| determined to try to ram her so that
the Colon and Oqucndo could get
away, and | started for her. She was
n good mark with her big broadsidc.

would get her, but she had evidently
seen US and turning about, making a
short circle, camo ut our port side so
that | thought she would ram US.
moved in toward shore so that | could
avoid her, and then / saw that the
Onucndo had gone ashore also, her
steam pipes evidently having been
severed by shell.
"The maneuvcr Of the Brooklyn
was beautiful We opened a rapid
fire at her with all our big guns, but
she returned it with terrible effect.
The Oregon also hit us several times,
but the l,rooklyn's broadsidc, crash
ing into our supcrstructurc, simply
tcrrorizcd the men. We worked all
our guns at her Mt one time, and l do
not see how she escaped us. She
simply drove lis into shore at one
time, fighting us at 100 yards. One
shell went along the entire gun deck,
killing half the men on it and wound
ing nearly all tie rest.
The Brooklyn prevented me from
getting away, for could have beaten
the Oregon out, as had two-mile
lead of her. My orders were to try to
sink the Brooklyn, and I tried to car
ry them out. did not think that
her battery could be so terrible as it
was.

OF Major Rebcr, who is attached to
the signal corps Gas will be made
here and placed in cylinders and sent
to Cuba for use in the balloons; it
having been determined that this can
be done better than by taking the por-
table part over Besides the big
thirtyfoot observation balloon, Il num-
Der of small, seven by ninc-foot bal
looms are to be sent over. These
small ones are not for robscrvation. but
for signalling. Each one will be
painted different color, and one will
be anchored over each division of the
army. so that the whereabouts of each
will be shown to the other and there
will never be any possibility of one
firing on the other. This method Of
keeping track Of the different com
mands is very highly regarded by army
officers.

ing of cotton, but it must be admitted
that their grievance is small one COM
pared with that of the British cotton
brokers and spinners The coarse Jute
covering is nearly always torn, and in
a large percentage of the bales one-third
or one half Of the cotton is exposed,
and many bales have the covering al
most entirely off. Some of the bales are
known as 'caulifower heads, because
of their likeness to huge cauliflowers.
There is an enormous loss both to the
American shipper and to the British
consignee through the present defective
system of baling, as much OF the cotton
becomes loose, and great deal OF the
outside of the bales gets damaged. Cot
ton brokers, spinners, insurance men
and ship owners here all unite in de
claring the urgent need Of an improved
system Of baling. AS to whether the
cylindrical bale fully meets the require.
ments of the trade, am not prepared
to say. Certain it is, however, that the
cylindrically baled cotton consigned to
Liverpool arrived in perfect condition,
there not only being no loose cotton,
but not single case Of mo marks. ,"
Fire ON board ship or at the dock is
one of the most serious enemies of the
cotton exporting trade. MIR. Boyle says
that there have been some very damag-
ing cotton fires at the Liverpool docks
in times past. but the last two years
have been peculiarly fortunate ones in
this respect, no fire of real consequence
having occurred lone of the strangest
claims put forward in behalf OF the
cylindrical bale, wives the consul,
sis that it is much less likely to catch
and hold FIRE th.n the CID style Ameri-
can bale. SoI.e tests have recently
been made ia l.tClpuoi, a.a the results
