CERVERA;S REPORT.

Admiral Cervera has forwarded to
the Spanish government, through the
French embassy, his full report of the
naval engagement which resulted in the
annihilation OF the Spanish fleet. The
report is very long, covering many
pages of the Admiral's own writing,
and is even q more elaborate treatment
OF the great engagement than that of
Admiral Sampson in his report to the
Navy Department.
Through the vicissitudes of war, Ad-
miral Cervera's report, although ad-
dressed to the Spanish minister of ma
rine, was submitted first to the Ameri-
can Navy Department in order that the
usual precautions might be taken in
communications passing between pris-
oners of war and the enemy's govern
ment. The examination made by the
naval authorities was solely for the pur-
poses of precaution, and care was taken
not to intrude into the privacy Of the
document beyond this necessary in
spection. 1t was then sent to Ambas-
sador Cambon to be forwarded to the
Spanish admiralty.
The strictest secrecy has been OBJ
served while the document has been in
transit, and in order to avoid cor ec.
tural stories as to the contents of the
report it can be stated that no intima.
ton as to its contents has been allowed
to escape from the few persons through
whom it has passed en- route to the
Spanish minister of marine. II the
Cervera report ever reaches the public
it will be through the Spanish govern.
ment, although it is probable that the
report is not OF character likely to be
made public at Madrid.

If THE Spaniards in Manila have sur
rendered to Admiral Dewey, as Is re-
ported, they evidently did so to pre-
vent the sacking and looting of the
CITY and the outraging gifts women, and
the slaughter of its people by the half
savage insurgents, trusting rather to
the amenities of the Americans, than
to the unrestricted avarice, lust and
fury of the barbaroas insurgents, and
their vain and foolish chief. And YET
the war was inaugurated to protect the
"oatriotsn on the island of Cuba, nine
thousand miles away, from the oppres-
sion of the Spaniards.

THE TRAIN RAN
 WITHOUT AN ENGINEER.
Fireman Stops Passenger Train Run ming at Great Speed and Finds the
 Engineer Dead In the Cab.

susquehanna, Pa, Oct. 26.-When the night express train No. 12, east bound, arrived at this station at l9 o'clock Monday night, Engineer Henry Kingsley of Susquehanna, was found dead in the cab, with his head badly crushed. After the train left Bingham ton, 23 miles west of here trainmen and others noticed the engineer failed to give the usual signals at crossings and small stations and that the train was running at an unusual speed. Fireman Cowgirl noticed the whistle was not blown for this station and going forward into the cab found the dead engineer. The train had run with terrific speed without the engineer. There were over 200 passengers on board.
 It is supposed the engineer was hit by water crane at point just east of Binghamton. Engineer Kingsley was one of the most reliable engineers on the Erie road,
