Spanish Prisoners Arrive.
They Will he Confined on an Island I'm
Portsmouth HarbOr.--Admiral Cervera
BrOken-Hearted Old Man.

Portsmouth admiral Cervera
Broken-Hearted Old Man.
The auxiliary cruisers st. Louis and
Harvard arrived in the harbor at Ports
mouth, n. H., Sunday morning, bringing
upward of 100 of the Spanish prisoners
captured in the naval fight off Santiago.
Among them Admiral Cervera and SO other
officers.
All of the Spanish commissioned officers
were on parole and had the freedom of the
ship with one exception, the former gov
ernor of Santiago de Cuba, who was try
ing to escape from the city on Admiral
Cervera's flagship when she was destroyed
on the memorable morning of the Sd. He
refused to sign the parole papers and was
consequently confined in one of the cabins
under guard
The prisoners were dressed in clothes
of every description, as most of them had
come aboard with very little clothing, and
what they are wearing was given them by
the officers and men from the American
feet.
The transfer of the prisoners to their
quarters on Seavey's island began Mon
day. On the way up from Santiago a
number of the Spanish seamen said that
they had had enough Of fighting, at least
with the Yankees.
Admiral Cervera and Capt. Eulate of the
Vizeaya, who was wounded in the head,
have both been i'll. The Admiral shook
hands with the health officer and in good
English said he was situated very pleas
anty on the boat and had received moth
ing but the kindest and most considerate
treatment from both officers and men ever
since he had been taken prisoner. He
presents the appearance of broken
hearted man, and keenly feels the loss of
his fleet, containing the pick of the Span
ish navy.
In conversation later in the day he said :
81 knew that the American fleet clearly
outclassed us, but it was question OF
fighting Their inside or outside the har-
Dor. | have many friends in America,
and have only the kindliest feelings for
them, but every man has a duty to per-
form to his country, and all Spaniards
tried to perform that duty. There has
been much feeling in Spain, and | want all
Spain to know the truth, that every ship
of my squadron fought until the last, and
when we could do no more we surren
dered."

cotton, the export price per unit has
averaged less during the year than in
the preceding year.

increased from 3,103, 754, $40 pounds to
3,3il 1872 800 pounds while the total value
last year was $3.50, s9O,971, and that for
the year just ended 1929, 9O7 Az. The
expectation of mineral oil increased
from 9I3,514,9i6 gallons to 1.022. 21O.379
gallons, yet the total value in the year
just ended was only SELL Dol, against

In provisions, including beef, pork and
dairy products, the value of the ex-
portations was greater than last year,
being Sl5I, 454.074, against S137, 13S, 0S4 last
year. In wheat, corn, oats and rye the
Increase in both quantities and value
was strongly marked. The expectation

which amounted flour included) to 225,
Cos, SO bushels. The value of the wheat
and -four exported during the year just
ended amounted to $212, S91.G39. a sum
only surpassed in 1890 and 1892, the total
in 1890 being $225, $50 500, and that Of 1892
| being 1926, 16l 416
In corn the exports for the year ex-
| coed both in quantity and value those
OF any preceding year. the number Of

Not strange because II happens every day,

For eighteen years, Sara E. Bowen, Of

Night and day, without respite, she suf-

Powder Mill Explosion.
II Killed and 10 wounded at Pomp-
ton, Y, j.

New York, July 1.-two explosions
which killed eleven men, wounded about
20 others and wrecked two buildings,
occurred at the plant Of the Lahin-Rand
powder works at Pompton, y. j., yes
terday morning. The first explosion
was in the house where guncotton was
being made and the second, presumably
supernduced by concussion, was in the
drying house close by. Three men We're
in the mixing room when the explosion
occurred, and they were blown to atoms.
Chief Engineer Craig, who was in the
engine room, had his head crushed into
jelly in the wreckage of the boiler
house, the side of which was blown out.
John Phillips was standing near a tree
some distance from the drying house.
His head was blown from his body and
was picked up so feet awey, His body
was frightfully torn by the force of the
explosion, and his clothes We're whipped
from his limbs. The foreman of the
drying room was also blown to pieces,
and three Italians VINO were digging a
trench in the rear of the building were
also killed. The most seriously Injured

pany I, Third New Jersey volunteers
He was horribly torn by dying splinters.
on one side of his head the scalp was
torn away, and from the other side
his ear was severed. Splinters were
driven into his body and legs, and it is
not likely that he will recover.
After the explosion there was some
talk of a Spanish spy being implicated
IN the attempt to destroy the powder
mill, but the theory of the men con-
nected with the works is that a grain
Of gravel or sand got into some powder
which was in process of handling in the
mixing room and that as it went
through the machinery the foreign sub
stance came in contact with a metal
surface and threw out a spark which ig-
nited the explosive.

BULLETIN ON CROPS.
Abundant Yield of Hay, Plenty of Oats
and Apples Short.

Abundant Yield OF Hay, IlentN OF oars,
and Apples short.
Boston. July 13.-Weather Observer
Smith reports that SO far comparatively
little damage has been done, but the
point has been reached where a con-
tinuation of the dry weather will entail
serious injury to grain, potatoes. vege-
tables and fruit The soil is too dry for
cultivation in many southern sections.
Hoeing. however in many sections IS
completed. The weather has favored
haying, which has been pushed with
great success. The light frost Of the
9Th nipped the more tender vegetation
in the lowlands of the northern states.
The haistorms of the 4th in the south
ern states was of sufficient violence in
some sections to injure crops, especially
in Connecticut. In parts of Rhode ISL
and and Connecticut the drought has
ruined pastures. the grass being as dry
as hay and feed becoming short. The
cool weather Of the closing days OF the
week has restrained somewhat the ruin
ing effect Of the drought.
In parts of Maine, notably portions OF
Cumberland county, large crops Of
barley and oats are assured. There is
still some complaint OF oats rusting in
Connecticut and western Massachu-
sets. With few exceptions corn is
growing rapidly and is improved in
color. All agree that this crop is back
ward from 10 days to two weeks. Rye
is nearly ready for the reaper.
The ideal weather for hay has been
productive OF most beneficial results
Haying has progressed with a rush and
the grass has been gathered and housed
in excellent condition. The warm, dry
weather has fully matured the crop and
the quality will be exceptionally fine.
Capacity for storage is being taxed to
the utmost on account of the generally
large yield, with little or no loss. More
than half of the crop is yet to cut in
Maine.
The apple crop as a whole will be
short. In some sections of all states
the trees are full of fruit, while in others
there is practically none. The dry,
warm weather is considered favorable,
though in some orchards the apples con-
tinue to drop. Other fruits will be fairly
plentiful

WAR NEWS.
THE WEEK AT SANTIAGO.

Demand of Surrender Refused---BOm-
bardment by the Fleet---Gen. Miles Mt
the Front
On Wednesday of last week Gen. Shat
ter addressed communication to Gen.
Toral, in command of the Spanish forces
at Santiago informing him of the destruc-
ton of Cervera's fleet, saying that the
city was now at the mercy of the guns of
our navy, and calling for the surrender of
the city. Gen. Shafter added that in
case of refusal to surrender lombard
ment would begin Saturday. The time
was afterward extended to Sunday. Gen.
Torars reply was a proposition to evacuate
the city, the garrison to march out with
their side arms, and all their munitions of
war. BY command from Washington this
proposition was rejected and Gen. Toral
was told that the only terms to be consid-
cred were the unconditional surrender of
the city and garrison.
Gen. Toral answered that he would dis
cuss no terms but his own, and Gen. Shat
ter notified him that the armistice would
end and the bombardment begin at 4
o'clock that Sunday afternoon.
At that hour our fleet got in line and
preliminary firing began to get the range,
it being an interesting problem as to how
the bombardment could be successfully
conducted, the ships lying at distance of
A. miles and throwing shells over a range
of low hills into city that cannot be seen
from the ships.
The bombardment was renewed Monday
and at the same time there was a concert
ed land attack by Gen. Skaters forces.
Each shot from the ship was carefully cal
culated, and the wigwag signaed from the
shore to the ships where each shell fell,
and notified the gunners if they had the
proper elevation.
Gen. Shafter signaled at about noon
"Some of the shells fell in the bay and
some in the city. The latter do not APP
pear to do great damage"
Comment on this subject was changed
Immediately by a message saying: "The
last shot struck St. Nicholas's church
where powder was stored, blowing up the
building and doing great damage
The bombardment closed for the day al
p. NJ, when Gen. Shafter sent a third
demand for the surrender of the city. Gen
Toral replied that the matter was of such
Importance that he had been obliged to re-
fer it to the Madrid government, and that
he would send his final answer as soon a,
he could receive instructions from Madrid
1t was then late in the afternoon, ant
Gen, Shafter gave orders to all the troops
to get as much rest as possible and be pre-
pared to resume the attack at any mo
ment.
Gen. MtIes's Arrival.
While the negotiations were pending

of the United States army, arrived Of
Aguadores, on board the Yale, from
Charleston. Admiral Sampson went OF

Men and Guns for Cuba.

The general movement of troops from
Tampa, Fla, to Santiago began Tuesday.
The transport Bampasas with the battal-
ion of engineers, 40 Red Cross nurses and
doctors, a number of artillery pieces and
quantities of all kinds of supplies, includ-
ing number of pontoons, sailed for Cuba
to reinforce Gen. Skaters army at noon.
All the afternoon an army of workmen
was engaged in getting the Nueces ready
for sailing. Six siege guns and six NOR
tars were part of the cargo taken by her,
which was completed by large quantity
of supplies for the artillery now at San
tiago and a number of horses and mules.
Several regiments were put under quick
marching orders, and it is evident that a
large number of troops are to be hurried

Captain Young went in, facing superior
forces, and located the landing place
of the cable. He remained in hiding
until daybreak and then cut the cable

feet of the strand and towed the ends

Porto Rico Next.

While the government makes no an
nouncement of its plans, it is believed, that
Immediately after the fall of Santiago an
army of $4,000 or $4,000 will be sent for
the capture and occupation of Porto Rico.
The gathering of so large an army at San
tiago as is now being sent there can be ac-
counted for in no other way.

Port Antonio, July II. - Captain
Adolph Mark of the converted yacht
Scorpion and Captain Purcell of the
Osceola had a hot time July at Man
zaniilo, where they had established a
blockade. Manzanillo had until lately
been unguarded and the Spanish have
used it for a port of supplies. General
Pando and his branch of the army being
there, it was decided ito lock the stable
door" last week, and July the Scorpion
and Osceola were before the place. is
on a long, deep bay, and close exam
lation by Captain Mark convinced him
that its defense was one small fort and
four gunboats.
On Sunday morning Captain Mark
decided to go in after the gunboats, and
so signalled to Captain Purcell. Cap
tain Mark tells the story as follows:
"Imagine our surprise upon finding,
Instead of gunboats and splall fort, the
shore filled with artillery and infantry.
The fire we moved into was desperate
one, considering that we did not have
any protection for our men or the guns.
For 25 minutes we stayed at it, and 1
think we must have done a lot Of dam
age. l had no pilot and could not move
in closer. We were hit frequently, and
at last when a shot had cleaned our gal
ley and l saw that it was useless to risk
the mems lives we moved out.
THE gunboats laid behind the hills in
a small cove, and we could not get them.
We moved out slowly, and the fire
ceased, The next morning we captured
a large lighter and a sloop filled with
provisions, No attempt was made by
Lhe gunboats to come out to the defense
of these ships. The Spanish steamer
Purisima Conception, which had been
around the coast looking for a place to
land money and provisions, is in the
harbor and has discharged her cargo"
