CERVERA'S ROMANCE.
Was Stationed in Washington and
Loved Senator's Daughter.

Washington, June THE interest
which Admiral Cervera is said to he
taking to effect the exchange of Junior
Lieutenant Hobson, United States navy.
who was taken prisoner after sinking
the Merrimac, recalls the time when.
as a lieutenant commander Cervera
was naval attache at the Spanish lega-
ton here, nearly twenty-five years ago.
The young officer owed his position to
the fact that he was the nephew of the
famous Admiral TOpete, the most dis
tinguished naval officer Spain has had
in this last half century. His father
was the richest wine merchant in Spain
For 200 years the house of Cervera has
existed as wine dealers in Jerez hand
ling all the sherry which comes from
that district alone.
Cervera was a handsome fellow then.
He was rich, a bachelor, and his din
ners were among the finest given by
diplomats during Gen. Grants last
presidential term. Cervera was re-
called to enter the cabinet of Alfonso
XII, in Novern Der, 1885.
While here Cervera had a love affair
that was much talked of at the time
He became desperately enamored of a
charming young lady, the only child
of one of the proudest and haughtiest
men who ever sat in the senate of the
United States. She was not only a
senator's daughter, but as cold and
proud as was her stately, aristocratic
sire. Whether she smiled or frowned
upon her picturesque, handsome Span
ish lover can not now be told
In those days Cervera played the gui-
tar with the grace of his race and
possessed an admirable light tenor
voice At an evening reception given
by Mrs. Fish, wife of the secretary of
state, Cervera was asked to sing He
complied by fixing the attention of
every one near upon his enamorata. as.
gazing at her in the most fervid man
ner. he made her deep bow and burst
into the passionate measures of the
most sensational Of Spanish love songs.
This was too much for the girl and she
quietly got out of the room and left the
house.

FOR ANNEXATION.
Stryker in Favor of Extension of Unit
ed States Colonial Possessions

State Superintendent of Public In
struction Stryker has just written an
address to be delivered before the Ma
tional Educational association in July
in which he echoes sentiments express
ed in several American newspapers
concerning the extension of territory
by the United States government. He
believes that the era of conquest is at
hand.
Among other things Superintendent
Stryker says:
Now that there are no more hermit
nations, now that our traditional policy
of no extension of empire, maintained
many years too long already out of
Difference to the judgment of Washing
ton, is to be cast aside, it is time that
every child in our public schools should
be thoroughly instructed in productions
and trade relations, not only of the diff
ferent parts of our own country, but
of every country upon the globe. 1t is
time that every child in our public
schools is made to feel the Importance
of the mission an allwise Creator has
given to people to fulfil, that of the con-
quest of the world to AnglO-Amer1can
institutions and language; the carry
ing of the torch of liberty to the utter
most parts of the earth; peaceably If
we may but forcibly where humanity
demands ii.
THE injunction go you into all the
earth and preach my gospel to every
creature was not more binding upon
Christ's disciples in early days than
it is today. Commerce. language, civil
lization and the Christian religion Will
go with the American flag, and it is
our duty and our missios as nation
to carry it around the world. The
greatest nations in all history, the
greatest civilizers, have been the com
mercial nations. Our flag should float
upon every sea, our manufactured pro-
ducts should find a market in countries
vet to be freed and civilized and 1t
should be carried upon our ships.
whenever the population of any
country stops increasing, becomes sta
tionary whenever institutions become
fixed and Interchangeable whenever any
country becomes a hermit, stagnatlOn
and death always follow. As much as
1 deplore the blowing up of the Maine
and the death of those gallant seamen
I look upon this dastardly act of Span
ish treachery as a blessing in disguise.
1t was the shock needed to start US
upon our proper course. Once started
our people will never turn back Every
Spanish possession must soon be ours
and civilization carried, not only to
those islands but to the countries ad-
jacent."

STILL IN DOUBT.
1t is Not Positively Known
Whether or Not
A Spanish Torpedo Boat De-
strOyer Was Sunk.
WAS NOT THE OREGON
But the Massachusetts, That
Fired the Shots.
Hobson's Men Are Kept in Nor
70 Castle.

Copyright, 1898, by Associated Press)
On board the Associated Press dis
patch boat Dauntless, off Santiago de
Cuba, June 5, via Kingston, Jamaica.
June 7.-Whether the American fleet
sank a Spanish torpedo boat destroyer
on Friday night has not been absolutely
confirmed
AT 10 o'clock Friday night the cruiser
New Orleans discovered what appeared
to be a torpedo boat destroyer close to
the shore, and signalled the flagship
New York that it was evident that a
night torpedo attack was to be made
The New York and New Orleans open
ed fire and their shells burst around
the dark object. Finally 13-inch
shell from the Massachusetts (not the
Oregon, as first reported), was fired
and exploded, and the searchlights of the
vessels were turned on the spot where
the supposed destroyer had been sight
ed, but not a trace of the boat could
be found and it was believed by the Of
ficers of the New York that she had
been sunk.
The first assumption was that the
vessel was the Terror but it is believed
now that it was the PlutOn, or the
Furor, as the Terror is not understood
to have been at Santiago. On Satur-
day two Schwarzkopf torpedoes We're
found floating two miles south of Ell
MORO. This class of torpedo is used
by the Spanish, and one of the two
found had only the practice head.
Many officials of the fleet believe that
a darkened railway train that was
moving along the shore was the real
object of the bombardment, instead of
a, destroyer. No wreckage had been
found, no dead bodies have been noticed
and it is possible that the torpedoes
were some of those fired at the collier
Merrimac when Lieutenant Hobson
sunk her.
Admiral Sampson is determined not
to allow the Spanish to remove the
Merrimac from the spot where she lies.
On Saturday it was reported that they
We're working at the hull and the
American fleet formed a line of battle,
with orders to lombard. 1t turned out
that the Spanish were not so engaged,
and the fleet withdrew. Admiral Samp-
son had given special orders that FL
MORO, where the Merrimac's crew are
imprisoned, be spared in the firing Ad-
mira1 Cervera's polite assurances were
accompanied by the statement that
Lieutenant Hobson and his men were
confined there. This placing of prison
ers in the direct line of fire is de-
nounced by the American officers as
thirteenth century defense, an act of
incarnate cruelty.
General Castillo, commanding the Gu
ban forces in the west and north of the
province of Santiago, has been con-
centrating 1000 Cubans in the vicinity
of the city.
