LATE NEWS ITEMS.

IN the senate, on the 4th, Mr.. Allen
began his speech in opposition to Ha-
waiian annexation. At noon Senator
Turpie, of Indiana, read the Dcclara-
ton of independence. During the ses-
sion a large number of pension bills
were passed. A short executive ses-
sion was held. The house was not in
session.

AIDED in Santiago bay for weeks, at
tempted to escape, on tie Sd, by rum
ming past Admiral Simpsons fleet.
The attempt resulted in running
fight in which all of the Spanish ships
were destroyed and their crews either
killed or taken prisoners, many of the
latter being wounded. Admiral Ger
vera and his officers were treated with
great courtesy by the American officers
in recognition of their gallant fight.
THE Hong Kong correspondent of
the London Times said on the 4th:
The American cruiser Charleston,
with the transports, appeared OFT
Guahuan, the chief of the Ladrone ISL
ands, on June 20. The Charleston
fired few shells at the Santa Cruz
forts which did not reply. The Span
ism were not aware that a state of war
existed. The governor and the garri-
son surrendered and the American
sovereignty in the Ladrone islands was
declared on June %"
GEORGE FL. ELLIS, the only man in the
United States feet who was killed In
the glorious engagement off Santiago,

REFUSED TO BE PAROLED.
The Spanish Governor of the Ladrones and
Forty Soldiers Prefer to Remain
as Prisoners.

Hone KoNG, July 5.-The United
States dispatch boat Zafiro, which ar
rived here early yesterday morning
from Cavite, with the report that the
American troops arrived ON June 80,

In addition to the Spanish governor
of the Ladrones, the Charleston

ID his cabin at the disposal OF

then placed his cabin at the disposal OF
the Spanish officers.
At that time, the Spanish flagship
and four other Spanish vessels had
been aground and burning for two
hours, and the only one of the escaped
feet which could not be seen at this
point was the Cristobal Colon. But
half a dozen curls of smoke far down
| the western horizon showed the fate
that was awaiting these.
The Cristobal. Colon was the fastest
of the Spanish ships, and she soon OBJ
tanned a lead over the others after leav-
ing the harbor and escaped the effect of
the shots which destroyed the other
vessels. She steamed away with great
speed, with the Oregon, New York,
Brooklyn and several other ships in
pursuit, all of them firing at her con-
stantly and receiving fire themselves
from her after guns.
Her Fate Can Readily BE Imagined.
There seemed no possibility what
ever for her escape, and while her fate
is not definitely known at this hour.
it can be readily imagined from the
| words of Capt. Robley d. Evans, of
the Iowa, who returned from the Yves t.
| ward with $50 prisoners from the Viz
caya, just as the Associated Press dis
patch boat Wanda was leaving the
flagship. In answer to an inquiry he
shouted through the megaphone:
II left the Cristobal Colon far to the
westward an hour ago. and the Oregon
was giving her hell. She has undoubt-
edly gone down with the others and
we will have Fourth of July celebra-
| ton in Santiago tomorrow"
Not One American Ship Had Been Struck.
Capt. Evans, who had been in the
thick of the engagement up to the
time he took the Vizcaya officers and
crew from the shore, said that to the
best of his knowledge, not one Ameri-
can ship had been struck The tor
pedo boat Ericsson, which also re-
turned from the westward at about
| the same time, made a similar report,
saying it was believed no man was in
| jured on board the American ships,
| though another report had it that one
man was killed on board the BROOKLYN,
which could not be verified as this dis
patch was sent.
Decks Strewn With Dead and Wounded.
There is no means of telling now
| what the Spanish loss was, but it is be-
! lieved to have been very heavy, as the
prisoners in custody report their decks
| strewn with dead and wounded in great
NUN bers, and besides there is state
ment that many bodies could be seen
fastened to the pieces of wreckage
| floating in the sea after the fight was
over. A large number of Spanish
| wounded were removed to the Amer
lean ships.
The Flagship Was Seven Miles Away.
There can be no doubt that Admiral
Cervera's plan to escape from Santiago
harbor was entirely unexpected by
Admiral Sampson, and the best evil
dence of this fact was that when the
Spanish vessels were seen coming out
of the harbor the flagship New York
was seven miles away, steaming to the
eastward toward Juragua, the military
basis, nine miles east of Moro.
The New York was out of the fight
altogether at every stage, but she i'm
mediately put about and followed the
others.
