Captain McKenna, of the British Ethel,
who arrived here to-day from ArecIbo,
Porto Rico, for orders, brings story
OF great destitulon at San Juan and
other places. and deep interest among
the inhabitants of the island in the
progress OF the war.
Captain McKenna left Arecibo June
q. At that time reports from all parts
of Porto Rico indicated condition
among the natives nearly bordering on
starvation. At Arecibo flour was SELL
Ing at $40 barrel, salt fish at thirty
cents per pound, and other provisions
at n price 50 high that none but the
wealthy could get them. Captain Nc
Kenna said that while he was ut Areci-
DO he fed on an average OF fifty per-
sons per day.
Several American and British news
papers reached Captain McKenna while
he lay at Arecibo, and he says that the
natives actually fought to get possess
ion OF them, so eager were they to learn
Of the progress OF the war. All classes
are praying for q speedy settlement Of
hostllitIes and the majority express
sympathy with the United States, whose
efforts they believe. will result In bring
ing them relief from the irksome rule
OF Spain.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
OFF sATEAGo DE CUBA. July r.
On tie return Of the United States
cruiser Brooklyn to the blockade on
Santiago De Cuba, on the evening Of
July q, the Iowa reported to Commo-
dore schley that Admiral Cervera, the
commander Of the Spanish fleet, was on
board. The commodore at once went
over to pay his respects.
The Spanish admiral was much cast
down BY his defeat, but preserved dig
niaed and courteous demeaaor nOtwith-
standing. He, said he deeply apprecia-
ted the fact that the men OF the Brook
Ism did not exult BY cheering when 1t
was learned that. he was a prisoner on
the Iowa. He replied in response to the
commodore's remark that II was the
fortune OF war: Eyes; but I've lost my
career, now that I've been defeated"
Commodore SChieyi however, told him
that such q brave deed as the bringing
out Of his squadron could never be
looked upon otherwise than as q most
gallant feat, upon which Admiral Ger

are gentlemen"
He then said he thought his dead
would number probably 100. though he
could not tell definitely,
He spoke OF the accuracy and deadll-
ness Of the Brooltlyn's flrlRgF saying
that IN the early part Of the action one
OF her shells traversed the entire deck,
killing and wOupdlng probably eighty
men. On the YIgcaya alone.l there were
no men killed. Admiral ceryera said
he feared the losses might be greater
than he anticipated for MANY men were
below the protective deck and when the
ships were on fire 1t must have been
dificult for them to escape. He added
that all his captains had been killed or
wounded; but later It was found that
the captain OF the Cristobal Colon was
saved,
Admiral Cervera also said he had no
doubt that at least three OF his ships
would have gotten away had II not been

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 12,-sur-

has received a report from the sur

many cases of wounded, some of them
serious, not rise of temperature or an
accumulation of pus has appeared in

this is said to be marked advance
from the conditions during the civil
war, and Is attributed to tho introduce

II shows that no fever follows the
wounds and that with the absence Of
pus the wounds heal rapidly without
Complications. Considering the great
number OF wounds TO be treated, now

ST, PETERsBURG,July 12.-Discuss-
Ing the events of the war between Spain
and the United States, which 1t re-
CARDS as practically over, the Novoe
vremya observes that the political sit
uation largely depends upon the attl-
tude of Russia 1t adds: "wIth re-
spect to the Philippine Islands, the time

Continuing, the Novoe vremya re-
marks: Russia has no positive inter-
esis In the Philippine Islands. II they
are divided, the best parts viii fall to
Germany, Great Britain and Japan,
thereby strengthening them In the Pa
clic. Therefore 1t Is TO Russia's adj
vantage that the Philippine Islands re-
main In the possession of a single pow
er, whether Spain or the United States,
and Russia would prefer to see the Is
lands in the possession OF Spain and un

who would keep out other claimants. By
working in this direction Russia would
not only uphold her own interests, but
