NEW ORLEANS. Feb. 25.-The United States cruiser Marblehead weighed anchor at i0:ls a. m, and sailed for Key West, where she will join the North Atlantic squadron at Dry Tortugas. The Marblehead took aboard here 6 small quantity of coal.
 An immense crowd assembled on the river front as the Marblehead pulled up her mud-hooks and steamed half a mile up the river before turning. As the vessel sped rapidly down the river past the French and Austrian war ships hundreds waved handkerchiefs in farewells. all the vessels in the har- bor footed their whistles. cannon were fired from shore. and the foreign ships dipped their flags. The departure of the ship was without incident, and created no stir among the officers and crew. a. her only business here was to honor the city at carnival time.

Cervera Holds BIanco Responsible.
Captain General Blanco is held re-
spoRsible by Admiral Cervera for the
destruction of the Spanish feet off
Santiago.
In his official report to the Madrid
government, which has been trans
mitted to Spain through the French
Embassy, he calls attention to the
orders issued by Captain General
Blanco, who was his impediate su
perior, which he shows were respon-
slble for his entrance into the harbor
of Santiago de Cuba and for his de-
parture therefrom. Admiral Cervera
states that upon his arrival at Cura-
Goa he was given instructions to pro-
ceed to the harbor of Santiago de
Cuba. Against his judgment, which
was made known to the Havana au-
thorities, he carried out his instruc-
tions, well knowing in advance that
his feet would certainly be destroyed
in the harbor by a superior American
force before he would have a chance
to escape. He received orders on
July l to leave Santiago. Notwith'
standing the overwhelming force col
lected outside by the American gov
ernment and Notwithstanding his
telegram to Captain General Blancc
showing tho result of = sortie of the
kind, he was ordered to obey inStruc

The effect of the war is indicated by
the statistics of the summer Social Reg

many families have gone abroad this

Americans have returned to their own
