CAPTAIN EULATE TALKS
A Concise and Graphic Descrip.

OF the Part the Vizeaya Took i'm the
Battle Of SantiagO-The BrOOkIyn's
Remarkable Work.

Santiago, Cuba, July 12-Via
Charleston, S. c., July ~. -
Through Lieutenant of Marines,
Thomas S. Borden, who conversed
in French with the prisoner, an in
terview was obtained for the AS
sociated Press with Captain Eulate,
of the Spanish armored cruiser
Vizcaya. He said:
"The entire squadron was order
ed to devote the fire of their
guns to the cruiser Brook
Ign, because it was believl d
that she was the only ship in the
American squadron that could
overtake us. When we got out of
he harbor my ship was second in
line, and l saw Immediately that
the flagship Maria Teresa was get
ting terrible baptism of fire. 1t
was frightful. The Texas and the
Brooklyn were just riddling her
and in fifteen minutes l saw she
was on fire.
The Iowa and Oregon were fir
ing on the Oquendo, and as yet
had not been badly hit. The
Brooklyn was a half mile closer
to us than any other ship and l de-
termined to try and ram her so that
the Colon and Oquendi could get
away and l started for her. She
was a good mark with her big
broadside and as 1 started l thought
surely l would get her, but she had
evidently seen us and very quickly
she turned about and making a cir
Gle, came at our port side by that l
thought she would ram us.
moved in toward shore so that
l could avoid her and then saw
that the Oquendo had gone ashore
also, her steam pipes evidently hay
! ing been severed by shell. The
manoeuvre 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 hut the Brooklyn's broadSide
crashing into Our superstructure
simply terrorized the men. We
worked all Our guns together at
one time and l don't see how she
escaped us She simply drove Us
into shore, at one time fighting US
al 100 yards.
Zone shell went along the entire
deck, killing half the men on it,
and wounding all the rest. A shell
from the Oregon hit the super
structure, and it was then that,
wounded and knowing we could
not get away, struck the flag and
started for the beach. l did not
instruct the men to load the guns
and do not know why they were
loaded. We were on FIRE bad.
ly and when those men who
were alive started to swim for shore,
the Cubaus on shore shot at us un-
til the American ships arrived and
stopped them. The Brooklyn had
prevented me from getting away,
for l could have beaten the Oregon
out, for l had two, mile lead of
her. My orders were to try and
sink the Brooklyn and l tried to
carry them out. l did not think
that her battery could be so terrible
as it was"

1t has been we'll known for some

gressional convention yesterday
but they will not admit that they
are licked, neither will they submit
to the Dovenor faction. They are
very indignant over the manner in
which they were treated and open
ly VOW they will not support the
nominee at the polls this fall.
Harry Smith, senior editor of the
Tyler county Star, was in the city
this morning on his way home from
the convention and stated that the
Campbell supporters could not sup
port Capt. Dovenor. He declared
that the nominee would lose at
least 600 voters in Tyler county.
The Campbell men were, he sad,
modest in their demands, but their
voice was not heard and they were
accorded no privileges whatever.
Continuing, he said, we were not
hostile to Dovener, but simply
wanted to cast a complimentary
vote for Judge Campbell, and then
we would have voted solidly for
Dovener. When they refused to
accede us any rights we simply
withdrew and allowed them to man
age the convention to suit them
selves.
The Dovener faction have since
made overtures to US, but we have
declined to make any concessions
whatever.
Mr.. Smith did not say in so many
words that the delegates and their
followers would bolt their party,
but from his remarks they are de-
termined to defeat the nominee Of
the convention yesterday at any
cost.
At any rate the animosity of the
party factions has been thoroughly
aroused and a bitter fight is evil

ers are very sore over their defeat
and are determined to retaliate.
The Sultan and Cur MissiOnarics.--
The Porte has demanded the re-
call of two American missionaries
from the province Of Aleppo, on the
pretext that their mission for distri-
button of relief is likely to cause
disturbances. "The sick man of
Europe" as he is derisively termed,
is as unreasonable as his political
health is feeble. AS bright con-
trast to his obstinacy and stupidity,
the people of America are acknow-
ledgeing far and wide the benef-
cence of the mission of Hostetter's
Stomache Bitters, namely, to rel
ieve and prevent malaria, rheuma,
tism and kidney complaint, chronic
dyspepsia, constipation and liver
trouble. The nervous, the weak
and the infrm derive unspeakable
benefit from its use, and it greatly
mitigates those infrmities specially
incident to advancing years. Sleep
appetite, and a sensation of com
fort throughout the system, ensue
upon its use, which should be reg,
ular and persistent. An early re-
sort to this fine preventive is logic.
