BADGERS PRIZES

Captured in Nsnvttaa HHrbnr-A THE'
BrlgAntinc aud Bargt-4O0 spanlsh SOLE
dIsrs Scattered Over Them.
KEY WEST, Fla, August 4.-No con-
firmatlon has been received here Of the
report that Nsuvftas, the chief port Of
the province OF Puerto Principe, has
been evacuated by the spanlards after
a bombardment by American warships.
The auxiliary cruiser Badger, which
captured three prizes at Netvitas on
July 26 and left with them that day for
the Tortugas, arrived here this morning.
Captain Snow said that at the time of
his departure all but about 1900 Span
Ish troops had left the city and q gem
erai evacuation was expected, but that
to all intents and purposes the place
was sEill held by the enemy and there
had been nothing in the nature ps an
attack.
The Badger was covering the block
ade station at Neuvitas on July G6 when
one OF the Spanish boats slipped stern
foremost to the mouth Of the harbor
and took a peep at her. The enormous
hull OF the American ship, bristllng with
Nordenteldt guns. scared her and she
scurried back to shelter.
A little while later three vessels were
Observed coming out IN excellent forms
alton and Captain Snow thought good
fight was coming. He brought his chip
to the mouth Of the harbor and prepared
to give the SpanIards warm greeting
when 1t was discovered that Instead OF
Eunboats the advancing ships were a
tug, a brigantine and a barge, the last
two in tow, all flying Spanish and Red
Cross flags A couple OF shots from a
slx-pounder were fired In their diree-
tlnn and they promptly surrendered.
The tug was the Humberto Rodriguez
fine and new, and worth about S1O,OOO.
The brigantine was the San and the
barge wns the San Fernando.
A party from the Badger boarded the
prizes and found distributed over them
about 400 Spanish soldiers, who. 1t was
said, had been ordered to Havana BY
General salcldo. The surgeon In charge
asserted that there were six cases 0f
yellow fsyer. among the. troops. but q
careful examination BY the BADGERS
doctor and afterwards by other physl-
caIiS at Tortugas showed there was. no
! infection among the men, and tho Red
Cross days were used as a decoy.
Al Neuvitas the Badger also took
aboard eight ,deserters from the Span
lSh army who are still aboard. They
said they did not want to serve under
Spafish rule,

It Is now more than a week ago that
Gen. Shafter was instructed by special

the fact that Prince Herbert Bismarck

BERLIN, August 4.LThe public gem
orally asserted itself in various ways
with the funeral services held this
morning In memory Of the late Prince
Bismarck. All the banks and many OF
the shops and offices In this city were
closed, Gags. many OF them bosdered
with black, were half masted every

crepe and there was a universal display
OF mourning emblems and portraits and
busts OF the dead chancellor wreathed
with flowers and draped with black
cloth.
The funeral services were Of the most
impressive character. They were at
tended by the emperor and empress OF
Germany, the various German princes
and prlncesses, all the mmbers OF the
diplomatic corps and the chief military
and civil dlgnitarles. A guard OF honor
was placed in front Of the Emperor
William Memorial church, where the
services took place. The exercises were
opened and concluded by choral sung
by the chorus from the opera house.
