EULATE KILLED HIS SAILORS.
COMMANDER of the VIzcaya Said to Have
Murdered 40 Men Who Refused to
Stand by Their Guns.

Annapolis, Nd, July %, Capt. Eulate
adheres toh his original objection and re-
fuses to sign the parole agreement.
He is gloomy and morose, associating
little if any with his brother officers.
A bit of gossip went the rounds which,
if true, may account for the gloom
which envelopes the commander OF
the pride of the Spanish navy. 1t is
said that Eulate shot and killed about
40 of the men on the Vizcaya on the
day of the battle because they refused
to stand by their guns. A Spanish
seaman who is serving as valet to one
of the Spanish officers is said to be au-

ANOTHER NAVAL VICTORY.
Spanish Transports and Store Ships De-
stFoyed at ManzAnIIlo by American Ves-
sells Under Commander Todd.

Playa del Este, July %. The follow
ing is the official account of the latest
naval victory-that at Manzanillo-
modestly told by Commander Todd, of
the United States gunboat Whining
ton, in his report to Admiral Samp-
son:
At seven o'clock onsthe morning OF July IS
the vessels on blockade duty In this vicinity,
the wilmington, Helena, Scorpion, Hist Hor-
net, Wampatuck and Osceola approached the
harbor OF Manzanillo from the westward. At
1880 o'clock the Wilmington and Helena en-
tered the northern channel toward the city,
the Scorpion and Osceola the mid-channe and
the Hist Hornet and WampatuclS the south
channel, the movements Of the vessels being
so timed as to bring them within effective
range Of the shipping ut about the same mo-
ment
At $3.50 fire was opened on the shipping and
after deliberate fire. lasting about 2h hours
three Spanish transports, Ell Gloria, Jose Gar
cia and La Puricima Conception, were burned
and destroyed The pontoon, which was the
harbor guard and store ship probably for am
munition, was burned and blown up. Three
gunboats were destroyed One other was
driven ashore and sunk and n fifth was driven
ashore and is believed to have been disabled
The firing was maintained ut n range which
is believed to be beyond the range OF the shore
artillery. 1t was continued until, after grad
ual closing in, the shore batteries opened fire
at u comparatively short range, when one OF
the ships was recalled, the object OF the expe-
dition having been accomplished and the ideas
of the COMMUNICATIVE carried out as
understood them, that is, to destroy the ene-
my's shipping, but not to charge tho field OF
| batteries or forts
No casualties occurred on board any OF our
vessels Great care was taken In directing
the fire that as little damage as possible
should be done to the city itself, and, so far as
could be observed, little, If any, was done,
The Spanish loss is believed to have been in
the neighborhood OF 100 killed, The gunboats
destroyed or driven ashore were the Del Cado,

GRANTING OF PENSIONS.
ding the Cases Growing Out of the
War with Spain.

Washington, July %. Commissioners
of Pensions Evans is making arrange.
ments for handling the pension cases
growing out of the war with Spain.
No pensions have yet been granted,
although about 80 applications have
been fled. The delay has been due to
the desire of the officials to systema-
tie the work and arrangements are
being made to have the pensions of
this war handled entirely separate
from all others. Some time is re-
quired to arrange the machinery for
this, but it is expected that within
ten days the granting of pensions will
begin. No applications have been
filed for pensions on account of the
killing and wounding of officers and
men in the Santiago compaign, all
thus far received being on account of
deaths in camp and deaths and injuries
due to railway collisions and other ac-
cidental causes. The pension roll is
expected to be large, in proportion to
the duration of the war and the num-
Der of men engaged, on account of the
destructive character of modern arms
and the unhealthy climate where most
of the field operations are conducted.

Washington, July 2l.'-The closing
of the Cienfuegos cables absolutely
isolates Havana and Gen. Blanco from
Madrid. Blanco's only means of COM
municating with the Madrid govern
ment now is by the Key West cable,
which is under the strictest censor
ship by the government of the United
States. AS a result of the sealing OF
the Santiago-C ienfuegos cables several
cipher dispatches passing between
Gen. Blanco and the Spanish govern
ment drifted into this country yester-
day. 1t is scarcely necessary to say
that they did not reach their destina-
tion.

LIEUT.. HOBSON BACK,

New York, July 23 Lieut.. Hobson,
who took the Merrimac into the chan
mel at Santiago, arrived here to-day
on the United States cruiser St. Paul
and it is believed proceeded at once to
Washington by way of the Pennsyl-
vania railrond. 1t is possible that
Hobson is the bearer Of Admiral Samp-
sons report of the naval engagement
off Santiago. When Hobson left a
ferry boat at the foot of Whitehall
street it took but few moments to
learn his identity and crowd soon
gathered to cheer him. Lieut.. Hobson
said that he had inspected the wrecked
Span ish warships and he is certain, IL
prompt action is taken, that two Of
them, the Cristobal Colon and Maria
Teresa, can be saved, The oquendo is
total wreck. The Vizcaya is not
quite MS bad as the 0quendo and soma
of her guns may be secured.

after the ceremony scovel pushed his
way to Gen. Shafter and slapped the
generals face. He was promptly ar
rested and confined.

Chickamauga, Ga, July 92.-Persist-

wives and mothers of the soldiers has
had the effect of closing up three OF
the regimental canteens at Camp
Thomas. 1t is said that others

the w. c. I. U. have made an appeal
to Gen. Brooke and have gained his
sympathy, but he is powerless for the
reason that canteens are provided for

coast ports are seldom visited by yell
low fever. Most OF the Spanish troops
in Porto Rico are gathered ut San
Juan, and it is Gen. Miles intention
to land at least 40 miles from that
stronghold and occupy other important
places, while the heavy double tur-
reted monitors and other nrmored YES
sells of the navy destroy San Juan's
forts and compel its surrender by bonn
harding if necessary. If the navy part
is completed as speedily as scheduled
in the programme approved by the
war board and other authorities here
that city will be ready for Gen. Brooke's
occupation almost by the time he can

The towns to be captured outside Of

THE HOHENZOLLERN.
Emperor Williams Yacht in Which
He Is Journeying.

The magnificent cruiser Hohenzol-
lern, the private yacht Of the German
Emperor in which the imperial party
has been making the tour of the ORR
ent, is one of the most remarkable yes
sells Of the German fleet. She is fitted
and arranged with all the convent
ences Of a first-class hotel, but is fully
equipped for attack or defense. The
Hohenzollern was built by the Vulcan
Company, in Stettin, and was finished
in 1893. Her engines have capacity
Of g. 460 horsepower, and on her trial
trip she developed such speed that the
Emperor telegraphed to the builders:
by this great work you have placed
in my possession a vessel which, at
least temporarily, is the fastest in Eu-
rope"
The Kaiser has made many cruises
on board the HohenZollern, the annual
trip along the Norwegian coast always
attracting much attention. On these
trips the Kaiser lays aside form and
ceremony, and court etiquette makes
room for "gemuthlichkeit." His trav-
cling companions and the commanding
officer and several Of the officers Of the
Hohenzollern sit at the imperial table
Breakfast is served at y o'clock. din
ner, in old German style, at 1 o'clock
and supper at s. In the course of
trip all the Kaiser's table companions
have a place at the table either next
or opposite to him at least once, and
the table party is not compelled to
converse in the low tone which prevails
at court dinners.
When the Kaiser is unaccompanied
by the Empress he manages to com
municate with her by telegraph every
day On Sundays he conducts religious
services before an altar on deck over
which the German flag has been
spread During the present cruise OF
the Hohenzollern she will carry more
guests than on previous voyages; the
Kaiser is on board, not as the amateur
yachtsman, but as the German En-
peror with gorgeous and imposing fol-
lowing, and the officers and crew of
the floating armored palace probably
see more display and less good-fellow-
ship than are usual on board of the
Hehenzollern-New York Tribune.
