A TALK WITH CAPTAIN EULATE
Viscaya's Commander Says He Had
No Idea the Brooklyn Could Fire
So Terrifically.

SANTIAGO, Cuba, July 6, (via Charleston,
S. c., July II. Through Lieut.. Thomas S.
Borden, of the marines, who conversed in
French with the prisoner, an interview was
Obtained with Captain Eulate, of the Spanish
armored cruiser Tiscaya. He said:
1.-The entire squadron was ordered to de-
vote the fire of their guns to the cruiser
Brook lyn, because it was believed that she
was the only ship in the American squadron
that could overtake us.
''When we got out of the harbor my ship
was second in line and | saw Immediately
that the flagship Maria Teresa was getting a
terrible baptism Of fire. 1t was frighttul.
The Texas and the Brooklyn were Just Kidding
her and in fifteen minutes ! saw she was on
fire. The Iowa and Oregon were firing on
the Oquendo and as yet had not been badly
hit.
1.-The Brooklyn was a half-mie closer to
lis than any other ship and | determined to
try and ram her so that the Colon and Oquen-
do could get away and | started for her.
She was "A good mark with her big broadside
and as | started | thought surely | would get
her, but she had evidently seen us and very
quickly she turned about, and, making
short circle, came at our port side, so that
thought she would ram us. moved in to-
ward the shore to avoid her and then | saw
that the Oquendo had gone ashore also, her
steam pipes evidently having been severed by
a shell.
''The maneuver of the Brooklyn was
beautiful.
'We opened a rapid fire at her with all
our big guns, but she returned it with terrible
effect. The Oregon also hit us several times,
but the Brooklyn broadside, crashing into our
superstructure, simply terrorized the men.
We worked all our guns at her at one time
and do not see how she escaped us. She
simply drove us in to shore at one time, fight
ing us at 100 yards. One shell went along
the entire gun deck, killing half the men on
it and wounding nearly all the rest.
"a she'll from the Oregon hit the super
struc ure, and it was then that, wounded and
knowing we could not get away, | struck
the flag and started for the beach. We were
on fire badly, and when those men who were
alive started to swim for shore the Cubans on
shore shot at us until the American ships ar
rived and stopped them.
''The Brooklyn had prevented me from
getting away, for | could have beaten the
Oregon out as | had two-mile lead of her.
My orders we're to try and sink the Brooklyn
and | tried to carry them out. | did not
think that her battery could be so terrible as
it was.

Nebraska Crops.

The State Board of Agriculture has receiv-
ed some interesting reports from the various
counties of Nebraska during the past few
days. The wheat crop is harvested, and is
one of the heaviest in the history of the State
The indications are that the crop will exceed
100000, 900 bushels. The grain is sound and
the yield in every way is superior.
Most of the grain is being housed and held
for later markets, though some of it has al
ready been shipped East. The Nebraska
roads are handling several hundred cars day
at present Many large grain dealers con-
tend that the owners of the State crop can
better afford to crib their wheat and rye this
year than sell at present prices.
The corn crop prospects were never better.
The past two weeks have been everything that
the farmers could desire. The corn is well
cleaned, and in many counties has been totally
laid by. The early rains which promised to
do much damage in the way of preventing
the corn being worked merely delayed the
crop about ten days. With this exception the
corn crop is in splendid condition. The same
reports deal with the condition of stock all
over the State, which is declared to be first

jingoes. The Spanish war will be no difficult
matter for the United States to successfully
SETTLE but if we enter upon the policy of APP
propriating territory in the East the settle
ment of the terms of peace might involve us
in real trouble. Germany, France, Austria
and Russia may desire to participate in the

situation then will be serious one.

teacher, won the affection Of all her pupils.
Miss Gault retired years ago from the
school and is still living in rather modest
circumstances in Media.
About three months ago Mrs. Mckinley
received a letter fro miner old teacher, tell

Mckinley whether 1t would be proper for
her to suggest to her noble husband" the
appointment OF her old teacher to be post

OF the delegation declared himself as the
congressman from that district, and at once
went on to say: "Mr. President, If Mrs
Mckinley wants that appointment for the
Media postoff1ce. she can have it. There
won't be any fault found" A general
laugh ensued. 1t seems that Miss Gault's
