How Cervera Met Defeat.

The navy department makes pub
lie the reports of Admiral Sampson,
Commodore Schley, Captain Clark
of the Oregon and Captain Evans
Of the Iowa on the battle of July 3,
which resulted in the destruction
of Cervera's squadron.
The reports of Admiral Sampson,
Captain Clark and Captain Evans
SAVIOR strongly of personal credit
in the memorable engagement, but
Commodore Schley, with the mag
unanimous instincts of southern
gentleman, makes q modest allu-
sion to the part that he and his
flagship Brooklyn played in the
destruction of the Spanish SQUAD
ron, and bestows lavish praise on
all the officers and crews of the
different battleships for their heroic
conduct in the great naval battle.
With the courtesy so characteristic
of the distinguished naval comman-
der, he tenders congratulations to
Admiral Sampson for the over.
whelming victory which was won
by the squadron under his com.
mand. Admiral Sampson says it
is hard work to bestow praise where
so many deserve it. HIS report
plainly shows in the limited men
ton OF Commodore Schley that to
award him due credit was such ex-
tremely hard work that he was not
inclined to weary himself with it.

When Admiral Cervera and the
other officers of the feet of Spain
were about to sail on the St. Louis
as prisoners of war, it was discov-
cred that the officers of the Cristo-
bal Colon had their log books with
them. The fact was reported to
Commodore Schley who at once
ordered them seized. The second
Spanish officer in command went
aboard the Brooklyn and asked that
they be returned. as they we're the
only records saved.
Commodore Schley said: II will
turn them over to my government
for information"
The officer stormed and pleaded,
and finally Commodore Schley lost
his temper and said Il do not see
that you are entitled to any consid-
GRAFTON at all. You sank Your ship
after you had surrendered. You
ruined your guns and did every
thing that dishonorable enemy
could think Of. I shall hold your

SPAIN HAS SUED FOR PEACE
Message from SPANISH Government Pre-
sented to President Mex inley.

A Washington dispatch, July 26,
says: Spain has sued for peace
formally and directly to President
Mckinley through NJ. Cambon, the
French ambassador. The follow
ing official statement is made:
"The French ambassador on be.
half of the Government Of Spain
and by direction of the Spanish
minister for foreign affairs present
ed to the President this afternoon
at the White House q message from
the Spanish Government looking
for the termination of the war and
the settlement Of terms of peace. I"
SPANS communication presented
by ambassador Cambon is general
in terms, and does not make any
distinct proposition as to Cuba, the
Philippines or any other posses
sions. 1t ia simply request that
peace negotiations be opened. No
armistice is proposed.
After ambassador Cambon sub
mitted the proposal, general talk
followed between him and the Pres
ident, Secretary of State Day and
M. Thiebaut. The President re-
served his answer, an understanding
being reached that be would at once
lay the subject before the. cabinet,
and then invite NJ. Cambon to an
other conference at the White House
when the final answer will be given
as to the willingness of this Gov
eminent to open negotiations.
The manner in which the peace
negotiations shall be conducted in
case the United States accepts
SPANS tender, has not been deter
mined upon, but it is understood
that the method likely TO be adopt
ed is to have Gen. Horace Porter,
United States ambassador at Paris.
and Senior Castillo, Spanish EN-
bassador at Paris, carry forth the
negotiations from the point arrived
at by the President and ambassador
Cambon.

SHERMAN on CONQUEST.
The Old Statesman Discusses Probable
Rneulta Of the War.

-
A special to the New York World
from Washington says:
Former Secretary Of State John
Sherman in an interview said !:
II regret to hear Of the reported
differences between Generals Shafter
and Garcia in Cuba. If the Cubans
deserved enough respect to be rec
ognized by the United States It
seems to me they should be respect
ed on the field of battle. They
have battled for liberty and freedom
from SPANS tyranny for half q
century or more and now that the
object which they have 90 long
fought for is in sight they should
share in the fruits of victory. Gen
eral Garcia should have been invited
to the surrender Of Santiago and if
he was not, blunder was made.
Congress passed resolution to
expel Spain from Cuba. In that
resolution it was clearly stipulated
that we would leave the island TO
the control of the people thereof
after a firm and stable government
had been established.
Therefore we can not with any
show of consistency lay claim to
the island after it has been taken
from Spain.
ut is yet to be determined wheth-
er or not the Cubans are capable of
self-government. If they are, we'll
and good. We should turn the
island over to them. But if the
Cubans become dissatisfied with
their form of government after We
set it up and rebel against it, we
would doubtless feel called upon to
step in and take the island. This,
to my mind. is the only contingency
which could arise wherein the
United States would be justified In
taking Cuba.
REMEMBER THE MAINE.
AT this timesit is not possible to
form an approximate estimate Of
the amount of indemnity we should
from Spain. Much depends
on future events. 1t seems to me,
however, that the Maine incident
should not be lost sight of when
the United States begins to figure on
indemnity. / have always believed
that the Maine was blown up by the
Spanish. 1t may be, however, that
the act was done surreptitiously and
without the knowledge of the Span
ish government. But the Maine
went into friendly harbor on
friendly mission and should have
been protected while in that harbor.
This is a fact which the American
people can not lose sight of.
"Of the Spanish territory which
may accrue to US because of the
war there is only one island which |
would be in favor of retaining and
hat is Porto Rico. There are rea-
sons why Porto Rico would be a
desirable acquisition. But believe
here is no excuse for taking the
Philippines or Cuba. Annexation
If the Philippines would be endless
,rouble for our government. AL
ready We are confronted with the
nsurgent leader, Aguinaldo, who
has bedecked himself with jewels,
Whistles and other trinkets to dis
inguish himself from other mortals
and if we attempt to lay claim to the
Philippine group we may have seri-
,us trouble with the insurgents"
Mr.. Sherman says the United
States should hold Porto Rico, that
t is needed for q coaling station
or our warships in times of war,
md that the present war has forci-
bly, demonstrated that coal is as
valuable as gunpowder and we
should make every provision for

Some of the newspapers in this
country are urging the government
to send Admiral Cervera back to
Spain. The suggestion is monstrous.
If the gallant admiral was sent
home at this time it would BE-, as
be himself declares, either to death
