iowa, Captain Evans.
Every war vessel in Admiral Samp-
sons fleet went through the fierce en-
gagement without injury. But one
man in the American fleet killed, and
two We're injured.
From the very first OF file fighting
the little Gloucester was in the thick
est of it. At one time she was pouring
her 6-pounder shells against the entire
Spanish fleet while the guns of Moro
Castle were making her their target
She riddled the Spanish destroyers and
fought the Viscaya and Oquendo as
fercely as If she was a battle ship"
A special to the World says:
Cervera told Lieut.. Wainwright, af-
ter his surrender, that he made his
break for liberty this morning for two
reasons: He preferred to die fighting
In the open sea rather than be caught
In a trap like rat, and he chose the
broad daylight for tn. attempt be-
cause he knew he could not escape
detection at night. while by day he
might possibly catch the American
fleet without full steam up.
"Cervera transferred his flag from
his strongest and fastest ship, the Cri.-
tobal Colon, to the Infanta Maria Ter
esa. His hope was that at least one
Of his ships might escape destruction
and if any did it would undoubtedly
be the powerful and fast Colon.
He went on the Maria Teresa him

ters ngratulations to the Plucky Span
ish Admiral.
Washington, July THE engage
ment in which Admiral SIMPSONS ships
utterly destroyed Cervera's redoubta-
BILE squadron stands unparalleled in the
annals of naval warfare.
1t was the most desperate and decis-
i've. as we'll as the briefest fight of steel
clads ever known.
The engagement lasted four and
half hours and in that time the main
naval strength of Spain was shattered.
Admiral Sampson was not present
save in the last few moments of the
battle his flag ship, the New York, re-
turning from a run to the eastward in
time to fire only few shots.
The Spanish loss in killed and drow-
ned was $780, and in wounded 100.
Not one of the American ships was
injured.
The American loss was one killed, one
wounded.
There is not an officer of the Ameri-
can fleet but admires Cervera for his
courage, and when the foremost admi-
raj in the Spanish navy stepped, a
prisoner aboard the converted gunboat
Gloucester. Lieutenant Commander
Wainwright. who had been the Names
executive officer, extended his hand to
the vanquished officer and said:
Il congratulate you, sir, upon max

And Admiral Cervera could not
speak in answer. He covered his face
and wept.
Off Santiago, July 7.-An incident OF
the destruction of Admiral Cerveras S

Is worthy of wide notice as illustrating
the humanity and desire to follow the
rules of civilized warfare displayed by
the Americans.
Soon after Admiral Cervera reached
the shore and surrendered he was TAX
en- to the Gloucester at his own request.
There was no mistaking the heartbro-
ken expression on the old seaman's face
as he took the proffered hand of Cap
tain Wainwright and was shown to the
latter's cabin, but he made every effort
to bear bravely the bitter defeat that
had come to him. He thanked the cap
tain of the Gloucester for the words of
congratulation offered on his gallant
fight and then spoke earnestly of his
solicitude for the safety of his men on
shore. He informed Captain VAIN
wright that Cuban soldiers were on the
hills preparing to attack his unarmed
men and said he thought his sailors had
suffered enough in their battle with the
American forces and that he was will
ling to surrender his entire command,
but he asked that some protection be
given to his men until they could be
taken off in the American vessels. Cap
tain Wainwright had heard similar re-
ports from his own officers regarding
the presence of Cubans in the brush
and he sent guard of armed soldiers
ashore to prevent the Spanish prison.

"A Second Accident.

Willie Englin, aged 16 years,
youngest son of Peter Englin,
met with a sad accident last
Monday-the effects of which
will he especially trying on the
young man from the fact that
he was just recovering from
a fractured shoulder sustained
in a runaway last fall-this
time having one leg and one
arm broken. He was returning
from Ingersoll where had been
on errands and was at a point
five or six miles from his
fathers ranch when the horses
became u1lnanageable, with
the results above indicated.
Mr.. H. B. Thompson happened
along about the time the acci-
dent and removed the injured
boy to his home. DR.. Forbes
was called, setting the broken
members, and at: last reports
the young man was resting as
easy as cetald be expected
under such trying circum-
stances.

Arrangements for the re-
building of the burned district

would indicate that Bismarck
is to rise from the ashes ,phoe-
nix-like-a city more substan-
'tial and more imposing. The
'indoniitable pluck and energy
of it's old time citizens-which
was so forcibly demonstrated
in the early and exciting days
when Bismarck fought for
supremacy-has again been re-
vived. And, at this time
especially, the city is to be con-
graduated upon the fact that
it,h4s within it's confines these
men-whose ambition and will 1,
apparently, knows o bounds.
And in consideration of the
fact that no outside capital is
coming to their aid--too much
encouragement can not be ac=z
corded these public spirited
men. Within a year the burned
district will be entirely rebuilt
with brick edifices more
modern and handsome than
were the former.
