WASHINGTON, July 23.-There have
been good many criticisms of the con-

during this war, and most of them have
been based on insufficient evidence. Among
these was one made by a very prominent
New York citizen, charging the commits

When the train pulled out Of the sta

went up that resounded throughout the

reached the city about $3.50. having been
delayed at several points because OF
freight trains in the way.
The Generals train remained in the city

SCHLEY TO HIS MEN.
"The Victory Belongs TO You Boys
Behind the Guns.y

OFF SANTIAGO DE CUBA, July 10
There were couple OF curious incidents
to-day. A boats crew, with diving appa-
ratus. was sent from the Brooklyn to ex-
anime the Infanta Maria Teresa, the flag
ship Of Admiral Cervera.
Among the terrible wreckage made bv
the big guns and the exploded magazines
they found standard compass. by which
the ship was steered, and which had tum-
oled down from the bridge. 1t was a heavy
thing, but they brought II over, and by
permission Of Captain Cook presented II
to Commodore Schley.
IL was curious sight, and withal a
pleasing one, to see these seamen, hub
bling over with affection for the COM
mander, shuttle on to the quarterback,
where Commodore Schley was reading.
one OF the men, representing the entire
crew, and two men following him and car
rylng the thing, stepped close to the Com
modore, and then the spokesman in a
stammering way. said: ''Sir. the crew
would like to make you present.

the deck. The spokesman hesitated.

with tremor in his voice. 81 am much
obliged to you, but the great credit of that
victory belongs to you boys-the men be-
hind the guns. Without you no laurels
would come to our country. Thank you"
There was a hearty three cheers from
the men. and then Gunner's senate Don
nelly, thinking that something should be
said In answer. touched his cap and burt
ed out: I'VE hopes, sir, that you'll steer
a straghter course than the other fellow
who owned IT," and there was another APP
proving cheer as the men dispersed.
With the usual twinkle OF his eye be-
jewelled with a tear the Commodore said
as he turned away: I'D rather have a
thing like this than the adulations OF my
entire country"

turned he wore u broad smile, and when
he reported TO Captain Cook there was a
hearty laugh. The ship was loaded with
provisions, and had permission TO remain
outside of Santiago until the city was
captured by the Americans, when II was
expected that the populace would pay
splendid prices for the goods. She was
allowed to remain outside OF the blockade

DESTRUCTION GREAT sr WATER.
Race to the Gallege-Nflls Breaks
and Fills Cary Street.

A week ago from last night the fiery
element consumed thousands OF dollars
worth OF property on Twelfth street near
Cary. Water, Its opposite. took its place
last night in this locality. and the de-
struction was hardly less great.
The race to Gafiego Mills gave way
about IL O'Clock letting great flood Of
water into the old. short culvsrt. which
runs from the mills under Eleventh street
to Cary. and under Cary to the main
sewer at Twelfth. The culvert was over
charged and overlooked through the sew
ers into Cary street. filling the street 80
that 1t ran like river. The cellar OF the
mills and the cellars OF nearly all the
business houses In this section were filied
to the top. Some OF these contained -four.
others mil-feed. hay. groceries. and other
things. and while IL was impossible TO tell
the extent OF loss last night, 1t must he

The overflow was quickly noticed by the
officer on this beat. who thoughtfuliy
'phoned 10 Captain Angle. AZ the Second

be dono Captain Angle did. He had tho
water cut off from the race near the old

Mr. Charles L. Todd. receiver for the
Gallego Mills was notified. and came
down. He said the cellar OF the mills was
filled with mill-fced which was now
under water, and would be practically a
total loss.
The race had shown signs OF giving

had men there working on It,
Captain Angle decided that as nothing
could be done last night, TO wait until

JIMMY MICHAEL WINS.
He Defents Tom Linton at Manhat-
tan Beach.

tan Beach.
NEW YORK. July 23.-"Jimmy" Mi
chael, the little Welsh 'cyclist, met tom
Linton, of Wales, at the Manhattan
Beach cycle track to-day In twenty
five-nlile paced race, and beat his oppo-
spectators. His defeat on last Saturday,
through the bursting of a tire. was not
looked upon as defeat. by any means,
by the Midget's friends, and to-day thou
sands Of dollars were bet and won on the
"Rarebit." Michael was the favorite in
the betting. odds of 100 to 50 being freely
laid on his chances. and in the history of
cycling there has never been ouch large
amount wagered on a contest.
Michael was first away when the pistol
was fired. and assumed the lead in the
first fifty yards. Before he had gone 200
yards a chain broke on his pacing ma
chine. and according to the agreement
the riders were recalled to the starting
point The pacing machines were all
quints, but Michael picked up his much
better and more cleanly than Linton. In
the tenth mile Linton passed Michael, but
only held the lead for a quarter OF a lap,
when Michael passed him again.
In the twentieth mile Linton made a
wonderful effort, and overlook Michael in
the second lap OF that mile. In the last
lap Lnton's men swung out and flew past
Michael, amid deafening cheers. Linton
maintained his advantage tor nearly
mile. until he lost his pacemakers.
Michael, who was then riding like little
demon, passed his opponent and rode
away from him. In the last mile Michael
at one time was nearly half lap ahead,
but Linton reduced this TO a little less
than 20 yards in the final lap. Michael
finally crossed the tape winner by about
10 yards. His time was 1900 -5.
