WORDS OF PRAISE FOR
AMERICAN NAVAL OFFICERS
Admiral Cervera, in His Report OF the
Battle Of Santiago. Testihes to
Humane Treatment BY Them.

CHICAGO. Nov. ia special to the
Tlmes-Herald from Washington says:
In his official report to the Spanish min
lster OF marine describing The battle Of
Santiago. admiral Cervera gives high
praise to the humane and courteous
treatment accorded him and his subord-
mates by the American authorities. He
speaks Of the efforts made by the Iowa
and Gloucester to save life. of the solicit
tude shown by the Americans for the
comfort OF those whom they had taken
prisoners and finally OF the generosity
Of the victors in providing so Hospitality
for them in the United States.
Admiral Cervera's report was for
warded to Spain through the navy de-
partment, having been translated so that
no information OF valuable character
to the enemy might reach Madrid.
In the report made Admiral Cervera
says:
"The result OF the battle was never in
doubt. but l never thought that my ves-
sells would be so quickly destroyed. The
enemys fire produced terrible injuries on
board the Maria Teresa, destroying her
auxiliary steam pipes and fire mains.
After the commander of the Teresa fell
wounded, l myself took command Of the
ship. In view of the utter impossibility
Of defending the ship any longer she was
directed with the greatest rapidity to the
shore to the westward Of the Cabraera,
where she was stranded at the same mo-
ment that her machinery stopped.
"The second and third commanders
agreed with me that it was impossible
longer to prolong the fight. We proposed
to haul down the fag, but It was impos'
slble on account of the great headway
made by the flames, At this time the
fire had made such headway that 1t be
came necessary to abandon the ship, an'
those who were able to do so threw them
selves into the water where they wer,
saved by American boats"
! Admiral Cervera then gives an accoun
of the destruction Of the other vessel
and in conclusion tells of the human
and courteous treatment accorded to tn
Standards.

NEW YORK. Nov i2-A dispatch to
the Tribune from Madrid says:
Theresult OF the nsleotlons came
as surprise and disappointment to Sag
aSta who had confidently expected that
tho republicans would at least have lost
control OF the house OF representatives.
The Spanish cabinet Is convinced that
tho elections uDon which Il has been
counting to obtain better terms AZ Paris.
have resulted in nothing that can aid
Spanish diplomacy.
The intended visit TO Emperor william
IN honor Of which Admiral Camara's
squadron is under orders 20 proceed TO
Cartageni, now furnishes anoher straw
TO clutch at.
The queen regent. whose health is vis-
ibiy impaired by the strain OF the last
eight months. thinks the wisest course
90 be pursued Is for the cabinet 20 In
siruet tho Pa..s peace commissioners
frankly to concees ihe American de-
mAnds for the Philippines and to work
heroieally and peacefully TO frame n
treaty.
Tho marked sympathy for Spain ex-
pressed almost unanimously by the Ger
man newspapers. coupled with the pur-
chases at Berlin. and Frankfort OF Span
ish exterior and Cuban bonds. the Ger
man holdings OF which have been quad
rupled during the last three months.
gives an exaggerated significance to the
intended visit OF the German emperor and
empress.
Lord sallsbury's reference to the Amer
lean republic as a factor In Asiatc. and
possibly European diplomacy, which
might not conduee to the interests Of
peace Is widely commented upon here
as strengthening the prevailing impress
sion that Germans wish to intervene in
the Philippines. All the extreme Weyier-
ties dread the consequences Of a resump-
ton Of hostniues by the United States,
which they are aware will probably in
volve the loss Of the Canaries, and this.
In spite OF the present German lining 10
tho cloud. remains the irresistible motive
that must eventually determine the cab
met to reconsider the instructions that
It is now believed to have been sent TO
the Spanish peace commissioners.
The ministry OF finance has in hand a
project for the conversion OF the Spanish
exterior bonds and the funded debts Of
Cuba and the Philippines, the idea being
to maintain the treasury guarantees Of
Philippine bonds and Cuban bonds and Of
tho 6 and 5 per cent denominations, but
to reduce the interest to Sh and 3 per
cent respectively, This partially accounts
for tho hrmness OF Cuban bonds In Paris
and Berlin. where speculation in them is
unusually active.

 MT. J. M Gregory called at The Re- publican office last night to make a statement regarding the account which appeared in The Republican yesterday of an attempted burglary of room 5 at the Gregory house the night before. He said several young men had been occupying that room for sev- eral nights, sometimes one paying for it and sometimes another. The others would come in later. They were quiet and civil and were evidently trying to economize One of them called on the night of the burglary and wanted the room The 1andlady told him it was occupied, but gave him another room and he went away. MT. Greg ory's theory is that his companions not having seen him supposed that he had succeeded in getting the room which they had been occupying, and came to go to bed. Then followed the knocking on the door and the subse- quent events already related. The burglary theory he thinks the more unreasonable since the occupants of room 5 had just come to town and it could not have been known that they had any money or valuables.

A BLACKSMITH AMUCK.
Sorenson's Offenses and What Was
 Done to Him.

Dan Sorenson, blacksmith, who has heretofore borne a good reputation, was pervading Washington street yes terday morning threatening to walk upon the graves of persons who are still alive. This was tantamount to a homicidal utterance, but nothing would have been done to Sorenson if he had not made an assault upon a cOlored bootblack who has a stand in front of Goldberg Bros. The bootblack tried to avoid trouble until it was forced upon him and then there was fight Collector Long, who is also police officer, happened to be near and separated the combatants. Sorenson struck at him and the officer drew his gun and threatened to bend it over Sorenson's head. He then invited him to jail and Sorenson declined to go. The muzzle of the gun was stuck under his nose and there was something so attractive about the perfume that he followed it to jail, stopping twice along the road to resist the officer and over- come the singular fascination of the ''forty-five."
 The most tragic part of the affair occurred in the afternoon when Soren- son was tried in police court on the triple charge of using obscene Ian guage, fighting and resisting an officer. The prosecution was conducted by MT. Long, and Dr. William Duffield having come in on business connected with the health department, was ap pointed by the court to the defense. The trial was brief. Both counsel were eloquent, but Dr. Duffield showed general unfamiliarity with the rules of procedure. He made the opening argument, he closed the case and in sisted upon a division of the time all lotted to MT. Long. The doctor plead- ed in attenuation of his clients of fense of drunkenness that it was his first and his reputation had been above reproach. The fight, which turned out to be a harmless affair. was natural sequel which the court had overlooked. The charge of resisting an officer he said, should not be entertained for moment. MT. Long wore no uni form or other insignia of office than his revolver fIt was quite natural, therefore, said Dr. Duffield, ''that when the officer interfered my client l should have supposed him to be a pri- ] vate citizen, perhaps a friend of the 1 co1ored bootblack. or even a relative, 1 spelling to take part in the affray." MT. Long resented any such SUD- position and when he at length got the floor. he painted such a vivid pie ture- of Sorenson's enormity that the court found him guilty and fined him S10. In doing so he directed the at
 tention of the defense to the fact that
 Sorenson had been guilty of three of
 lenses, for which he ought to be fined
 $50 Tn the aggregate. He took cog
 nizance, however, of the circumstance that the crime was committed in front
 of clothing store which offers re-
 duced rates on job or wholesale lots
 The excellent and liberal policy
 or that mercantile establishment
 should be allowed to prevail even on
 the sidewalk in front of it, hen@e Sorenson had been permitted to pay only the price of one for trio Of
 misdemanors.
