GREAT ENTHUSIASM :
Prevails in Madrid Over Ceryera's Magnificent > Victory at Santiago.

Madrid. June 4.-3 p. m-Great enthu- siasm prevails in this city over the Span ish reports of the recent engagement at Santiago de Cuba.
 Premier Sagasta and Captain Aunon, the minister of marine, upon leaving the palace after informing the queen regent of the affair told the representatives of the news papers here that the object of the Ameri- cans was not to force but to block the entrance of the channel. Admiral Cervera they alleged. was aware of the intention of the Americans and "ordered part of his squadron outside the harbor to defend the entrance"
 The official dispatch from Santiago also said that when the Merrimac sank Admiral Cervera, who was on board of a Spanish warship near by, entered a small boat and personally saved the survivors. who were swimming in the water'
 The people of Madrid consider Santiago de Cuba impregnable. passing their belief on the fact that the defences of that place were constructed by the celebrated artil- lery expert Ordonez.

ALICE FURNACE
Raised Flag Yesterday With Appropriate
 Ceremonies.

'Old Glory floats proudly from a flag staff at almost every industrial plant in the district. Yesterday the employees of the Alice furnace hoisted beautiful United States flag above the stock house, amid great enthusiasm and the blowing of whis- ties and the booming of cannons.
 Miss Ola Shannon, the daughter of Su- parintendent Shannon, hoisted the flag and proved a fair sponsor. MT. Shannon and W. G. Oliver superintendent of the coke ovens made patriotic addresses.
 The cannon used was made of Birming- ham steel, which, in turn was made of pig iron from the Alice furnace, in other words the cannon is grandchild of the furnace and one of which she is justly proud.
