- EADEES Of the war news VIII
IN remember that. after the de-
struction Of the Spanish fleet on
Santiago, Admiral Cervera reported the
Anal to Blanco in a message In when
the admiral said that in compliance
with Blanco's order he sailed out OF
Santiago harbor to destruction.
This order was the topic of a recent
conversation at Annapolis, where Ger
vera has been held as a too-much-en-
tertained prisoner. The admiral him
self refused To discuss Blanco's order.
one of his commodores, however, the
second in command, said that h
treatment Of the Cervera feet by the
captain general was a shame. "Blanco
himself" This commodore said, gave
US orders To leave at 4 o'clock, know
inc very well that we would 20 to- GER
tain destruction. He wanted us first
10 leave in the darkness Of the night
before. but when Admiral Cervera eX-
plained the im~possibility Of doing so he
insisted that we go next day. We
knew hi we were going 10 our de-
struction. not one of us expecting to
AhA
get out alive. But we obeyed orders
for the sake Of the Spanish flag and TO
show that we too were able at least to
die for country and honor"
Other Spanish officers nodded assent
when this was said. Cervera, however,
remarked that he would simply make
his report to his government and abide
the event. The recent news is that
Blanco evidently proposes to be on
hand at Madrid as promptly as any OF
them-he declares his intention not TO
Iinser at Havana, but TO hasten to
Madrid. There, in the presence of those
who happen to be in control a few
weeks hence. Cervera. Blanco and the
rest of them can fight h battle of
Santiago over and over to their hearts
! content-it is not a matter Of interest
TO Americans, except as they somehow
feel that, as BIanco's victim, Cervera
got the tarred end of the stick.
