selves from her after guns. There was
no possibility whatever for her escape, and
while her fate is not definitely known at
this hour, it can be readily imagined from
the words of Captain Evans, of the Iowa,
who rnturned from the westward with $40
prisoners from the Vizcaya just as the AS
sociated Press Dispatch boat was leaving
the Spanish flagship.
In answer to an inquiry, he shouted
through the megaphone
81 left the Cristobal Colon far to the
westward an hour ago, and the Oregon
was giving her hell. She has undoubt-
edly gone down with the others, and we
will have Fourth of July celebration in
Santiago tomorrow"
Captain Evans, who had been in the
thick of the engagement up to the time he
took the Vizcaya's officers and crew from
the shore, said that to the best of his
knowledge, not one American ship had
been struck.

THE conoN's GOOD RUN.

The Cristobal Colon was the fastest of
the Spanish ships, and she soon obtained
a lead over the others after leaving the
harbor and escaped the effect ofthe shots
which destroyed the other vessels. She
steamed away at great speed, with the
Oregon, New York, Brooklyn and several
other ships in pursuit, all of them firing
at her constantlyan receiving fire them

THE DASH TO DESTRUCTION,

caya and two torpedo boat destroyers, the
Furor and Pluton, which bad been held in
the harbor at Santiago de Cuba for six
weeks past by the combined squadrons OF
Rear Admiral Sampson and Commodore
, Schley, lies to-day at the bottom of the
Caribbean Sea, off the southern coast Of
Cuba.
The Spanish admiral is prisoner of war
on the auxiliary gunboat Gloucester,

Corsair) and 900 to 500 other Spanish
officers and sailors, all who escaped the
frightful carnage caused by thetbhells from
the American warships, are also held as
prisoners of war by the United States
navy.
The Spaniards, when they found they
would be permitted to live, adapted them
selves comfortably to the situation, rolled
their cigarettes and began playing cards
among themselves.
The American victory is complete, and
according to the best information OBJ
tainable at this time the American vessels
were practically untouched and only one
man was killed, though tie ships were
subjected to the heavy fle of the Span
iards all the time the battle ragged.

A GALLANT DASH.

Admiral Cervera made as gallant dash
for liberty and for the preservation of his
ships this morning as has ever occurred in
the history Of naval warfare. In the face
of Overwhelming odds, with nothing be-
fore him but inevitable destruction or sur
render, if he remained anv longer in the
trap in which the American fleet held him,
he made a bold dash from the harbor at
the tine the Americans least expected
him to do so, and fighting every inch of
his way, even when his ship was ablaze
and sinking, he tried to escape the doom
which was written on the muzzle of every
A&erican gun trained upon his vessels.
The Americans saw him the moment he
left the harbor ard commenced their
work of destruction immediately. For an
hour or two they followed the flying Span
iards to the westward along the shore line.

SHOWED NO WEAKENING.

At no time did the Spaniards show anv
indication that they intended to do other
wise than fight to the last. They showed
no signs of surrender even when their
ships commenced to sink and the great
clouds of smoke pouring from their sides
showed that they were on fire. But they
turned. their vessels toward tile shore, less
than mile away, and ran them on the
beach and rocks, where their destruction
was soon completed. Tie Ollie and
men on board then escaped 10 the shore

of boats sent from the American men-of-
war, and threw themselves upon the mercy
of their captors, who not only extended to
them the gracious hand Of American chiv-
.Glry, but sent them guard to protect
them from the murderous bands of Cuban
soldiers hiding in the brush on the hill
side, eager to rush down and attack the
unarmed, defeated, but valorous foe.

AWFUL RAIN OF SHELLS.

Ohe afler another the Spanish ships be-
c.une the yictin,5 Of the awful rain of shells
which the American battleships, cruisers
and gunboats poured upon them, and two
hours after the first of the fleet had start
ed out of Santiago harbor, their cruisers
and two torpedo boat destroyers were
lying on the shore, ten to fifteen miles
west of Moro Castle. pounding to pieces,
smoke and flame poaring from every part
of them and covering the entire coast line
with mist which could be seen for miles.
Heavy explosions of ammunition oc-
Cured every few minutes, sending curls
of dense white smoke hundred feet in
the air, and causing shower of broken
iron and steel to fall in the water on every
side. The bluffs on the coast line echoed
with the roar ofevery explosion, and the
Spanish vessels sank deeper and deeper
into the sand, or else the rocks ground
their hulls to pieces as they rolled or
pitched forward or sideways with every
wave that washed upon them from the
open sea.

CERvERA's ESCAPE.

Admiral Ceryera escaped to the shore
in boat sent by the Gloucester to the
assistance of the dnfanta Maria Theresa,
and as soon as he touched the beach he
surrendered himself and his command to
Lieutenant Morton and asked to be taken
on board the Gloucester-which was the
only American vessel near him at the
time-with several Of his officers, including
the captain of the flagship. The Spanish
admiral, who was wounded in the arm,
was taken to the Gloucester and was re-
ceived at the gangway by her commander,
Lieutenant Commander Richard Vain
wright, who grasped the hand of the gray
headed admiral and said to him:
81 congratulate you, sir, upon having
made as gallant fight as was ever wit
messed on the sea-"
Lieutenant Commander Wainwright
then placed his cabin at the disposal of
the Spanish officers.
At that time the Spanish flagship and
four other Spanish vessels had been a.
ground and burning for two hours, and
the only one of the escaping fleet which
could not be seen at this point, was the
Cristobal Colon. But half a dozen curls
ofsmoke fan down on the western horizon
showed the fate that was awaiting her.

meaning of the provisions of this ar
ticle.
The passage of this amendment
would in time restore to the people of
a state the birthright of which man
has been defrauded. This is the cause
of that frightful poverty which makes
a torture-house of the world This is
that impious shame which a decaying
Christianity makes no effort to re-
move. Remove this damning blot and
man will be free.
In the first century of the Christian
era the philosopher Seneca was the in
structor of the youthful Nero. After
ward this devils whelp had the good
man murdered. But Seneca knew the
cause of the misery of man, for he
wrote as follows:
"While nature lay in common and
all the benefits promisCuously enjoyed
what could be happier than the state
of mankind, when people lived with
out avarice or envy. What could be
richer than when poor man could
not be found in the world. So soon as
this impartial bounty of Providence
came to be restrained by covttous-
ness, so soon as individuals appropri-
ated to themselves that which was in
tended for all. then did poverty creep
| into the world"
The enactment into law Of the pro-
visions of this amendment will restore
to man this blessing of God. And it
will do it gradually and without in
justice to any. And, further, it will
prevent that fatal clash of the classes
otherwise inevitable. 1t will prevent
it because it will restore that of which
men are now defrauded. 1t is simple
act of justice.
All objections to the plan here sci
forth can be readily met. School:
should be supported by state taxation
County government should be abol
ished or reduced to the merest skele
ton of what it now is. Township ant
municipal government can attend tC
local affairs: let the state be called in
where necessary. Adopt the Initia
tive and Referendum and country
people can govern themselves the way
our grandfathers did, almost without
cost. In no state would the amount
exempted by the provisions of this
amendment exceed ten per cent o.
the total valuation. In most states il
would be less.

peace has nominally come. The
actual conflict has ended, but less than
100 days of war has resulted in revo-
luton in the United States. The foun-
dations upon which the government de-

ciples upon which the government
rests have been violated. We have
undertaken obligations which neither
our institutions nor our national char
acter enable us properly to discharge:
we, the one great non-military power in
the world, have suddenly joined the
ranks of the nations burdened with
great armies and navies: we have bur-
