PRISONERS ATTEND CHURCH.
Admiral Cervera and Officers Offer Up
Thanks at Annapolis.

Admiral Cervera and Oficers Offer Up
Thanks at Annapolis.
Annapolis, Md, July 19.-Admiral Ger
vera's first Sabbath on land since his
disastrous dash from Santiago harbor
on July was spent here in offering up
solemn thanks for his delivery from the
fate that met so many of his men dur
ing the conflict with SIMPSONS fleet.
Together with his officers now at the
naval academy as prisoners of war the
admiral attended divine services at st.
Mary's Roman Catholic church. He did
this in the presence of an assemblage
of curiosity seekers that taxed to the
utmost the capacity of the spacious edi-
fee. Hundreds of curiosity seekers
came from Baltimore. Washington and
elsewhere by rail and by water in the
hope Of getting peep at Admiral Ger
vera and the men who fought and lost
In the great naval fight off Santiago.
Admiral Cervera has positively de-
clined to grant any newspaper inter-
views. He has written a note, stating
that while he appreciates the honor Of
being asked his views. still he must de-
cline to be interviewed. Some OF the
Spanish officers thought they could mail
their letters without censorship, and
a number were dropped into the city
boxes. They were returned to the
academy authorities for inspection.

arms, while a band played the Amer-
can national airs and a light battery
was firing the rational salute of twsa-
ty-one guns. This dispatch was re-
ceived at 4:30 in the afternoon.
At last the tense strain of anxiety
which had depressed the authorities,
who were unable to hanish some linger-
ing doubt that Spanish treachery might
be disclosed at any stage Of the vexa-
tious delay, was relieved. Even the
few who had not been able to suppress
grave doubts as to the wisdom of cer-
tain so-called conditions" which had
been granted to the Spanish command
er, changed their minds when they read
of General Skaters impressive convic-
ton that 5000 good American lives
would have been the cost of carrying
the city by assault.

1t appears that General Tcrals insist

Press Under a Censorship.

A special dispatch from Madrid says

Lieutenant General J. Chinchilla, mill
tary governor of the city, had inter-
views with the leading editors and
managers. and discussed the situation.
He expressed desire to apply the new
regulations with the least possible rigor,
but the result is that bitter feeling
prevails and, as one effect OF the CEN
sorship, the papers insinuate that they
know more than they dare assert.
El Nacionai suggests that the entire
press should cease to appear until the
censorship is abolished. FL Liberal Sig

Ministers Are Reticent.

"It is impossible, owing TO their re-
serve to say what the ministers here
regard as reasonable conditions, but
observe among Their private friends an
idea worth mentioning. In any peace
negotiations, say these the p int of de-
parture ought TO be the publicly
avowed object of the war on the part
Of the United States, namely the
emancipation of Cuba from Spanish
rule. If President Mckinley restricts
himself to that object, there Will be no
serious difficulty in coming to an agree
ment, because Spanish public opinion,
official and unofficial, has come to rec
ognize that Spanish rule in Cuba cannot
be re-established. If, on the other
hand, a war undertaken for the specific
purpose of lberating Cuba devolves into
a war of ruthless conquest and annexa-
ton. the Spanish government and peo-
pie will defend themselves to the ut
most. This seems to me at the present
moment the dominant note OF public
opinion."
