After meals you should have simply

You should not feel any special in

indigestion makes poison, which c.uses

A GALLANT DASH.

Admiral Cervera nude as gallant q
dash for Liberty and for the preserva-
ton of his ships this morning as has
ever been known in the history of naval
warfare. In the face Of overwhelming
odds, with nothing before hun but in
evitable destruction OF surrender if he
remained any longer in the trap IN
which the American feet held him, he
made bold dash from the harbor at
the time the Americans least expected
him to do so, and fighting every inch
OF his way. even when his ship was
ablazo and sinking, he tried to escape
the doom which was wlitten on the
muzzle of every American gun trained
upon his vessels.
The Americans saw him the momen;
he left the harbor and commenced their
work of destruction Immediately. For
an hour or two they followed the flying
Spanards 10 the westward along the
shore line, sending shot after shot into
their steel sides, and covering their
decks with the blood of the killed and |
wounded.

cap ala of the flagship. The Spon.sl
admiral, who was wounded ia the arm
was taken to the Gloucester and was
received at the gangway by her COM
mauder, Lieutenant Commando,
Richard Wa wright, who grasped the
hand Of the gray Loaded admiral aud
said to him;
Il congratulate you, sir upon hay
ing made as gallant fight as was ever
witnessed on the sea-"
Lieutenant Comna-de Wainwright
then placed his cabin at the 4lsoo al
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 feet which
could not te seen at this pont,was the
Cristobal Colon. But half a dozen
curls Of smoke far down on the wes-
tern horizon slowed the fate that was
awaiting her.
THE COLON S GOOD RUN.
The Cristobal Colon was the fas It
of the Spanish ships, and she soon OBJ
tanned lead over Tie others after
leaving the harbor an escaped the eff
feet Of the 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
constantly and receiving fire them
selves from her after guns. There was
no possibility whatever for her escape, |
md while her fate is not definitely |
'nown at this hour, it can be readily |
imagined from the words of Captain
Evans, of the Iowa, who returned from
he westward with $40 prisoners from
he Vizcaya just as the American Press
dispatch boat was leaving the Spanish
agship.
In answer to an inquiry, he shouted
trough the megaphone:
81 left the Crlstobal Colon far to the |
eastward an hour ago, and the Oregon
as giving her hell. She has undoubt.
lily gone down with the others, and t
will have Fourth Of July ce ebra. t
on IN Santiago tomorrow"
Captain Evans, who had been in the
lex OF the engagement up TO the
ne ne took the Yizcaya's officers and
ew from the shore, said that to the r
st OF his knowledge, not one Ameri- 2
n ship had been struck. u

The torpedo boat Ericsson which q,

same time, made a similar report. 70

SHOWED NC WEAKENING.

At no time did the Spaniards show
any indication that they intended to dc
otherwise than fight to the last They
showed no signs of surrender even
when their ships commenced 10 sink
and the great clouds or smoke pouring
from their sides showed they were on
fire. But they turned their vessels to-
ward the shore, less than a mile away,
and ran them on the beach and rocks,
where Their destruction was soon COM
pleted. The officers and men on board
then escaped to the shore as well as
they could, with the assistance of boats
sent from the American men-ot-war,
and threw themselves upon the mercy
of their captors, who not only extended
to them the gracious hand of American
but sent them guard to
protect them from the murderous bands |

AWFUL RAIN OF SHELLS.

One after another the Spanish ships
became the victims OF the awful rain Of
shells which the American battleships
cru sers and gunboats poured upon
them, and two hours after the first of
the fleet had started out of SAINT ago
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
pouring 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 a shower of |
broken iron and steel to fall in the
water on every side. The bluffs on the |
coast line echoed with the roar of every
explosian, and the Spanish vessels sank
deeper and deeper into the sand, or else
he rocks ground their hulls to p eces

EDITORIAL NOTES.

Spain is now finding out that there
is day Of reckoning for nations as well
as for individuals, and that the punish
ment for six hundred years OF greed
and cruelty never equaled is not easy
to bear.
