THE GEIER TAKING NOTES.
German Warsbip Close Observer
of Events at Santiago.

Of Santiago. July S.-The Geier Ger
man warship) met rebuff from N -ro
Castle yesterday afternoon. The Geier
steamed up to the Oregon, which was
the temporary flagship of the fleet in the
absence of the New York, which had
gone 10 Siboney to enable Capt Chad
wick to go to the front to see the ex-
change of Lieut. Hobson, and saluted
Commodore Watson's flag, which had
been transferred from the Newark. The
Oregon returned the salute. and the
Geier then hoistei signals reading: May
I go in
The Oregon answered: "At your own
risk. We are likely to lombard at any
minute in conjunction with the army
The Geier signaled thanks for the in
formation and then sailed slowly past
the blockade line up under the Moro
and across the channel at the entrance,
evidently scrutinzing everything careful
ly. She exchanged some signals with the
Moro, which could not be read from the
fleet. Then she hoisted a signal reading:
''Is it passible?" which she kept up for
ten minutes. Receiving no answer or ac-
acknowledgement the Geier steamed away
to the westward to look at the wrecks of
the Spanish cruisers.
Meantime the German naval attache
was with Gen. Shafter deploring his luck
in not being able TO get where he could
see anything of the New Yorks work
except by taking a chance trip to the
flagship or on one of the newspaper dis
| patch boats.
The New York went yesterday to look
| over the Almirante Oquendo and Infanta
| Maria Teresa. While her men and some
| reporters were on the Oquendo one of the
| Oquendos guns went off blowing the
stern from the reporters row boat which
was lying alongside of her and upsettine
| the negro oarsman, who was rescued by
| the flagships launch.
! Probably all the Spanish vessels. except
| the Cristobal Colon are beyond saving
| but board of inspection will be ap-
pointed to make a formal examination.
