ConsrntuIation. for .Cervera.

They are congratulating themselves over
in Madrid and thanking Admiral Cervera
for the mastery manner in which he made
the run from Curacao to Santiago with
out accident. The queen regent has sent
her thanks to the gallant officer who has
thus managed to evade an engagement.
while Spain rings with his praises and
cheers this notable success. Negative re-
suits doubtless appeal strongly to the Span
ish heart in these days that are filled so
full OF sad reflections over the affair at
Manila Anything savoring of an escape
from the American ships of war is reason
ably regarded a great victory.
Evening star., 1898-05-20
Getting Closer Together

The campaign is steadily developing. The
antagonists are gradually drawing closer
TO an engagement. 1t is now announced
that the Spanish vessels comI osinx what is
known as the Cape Verde fleet have moved
