mandlng officer from the military COM
mander of this district"
He added that during the engagement
the Spanish authorities In Caibarien had
wired the military commander OF the
district that the American ships were
bombarding the port and an immediate
response was received informing them
that peace had been restored and the
firing should cease.
SHE WENT AGROUND.
The Spanish crew OF the small boat
which brought the officer to the Mangrove
said the Spaniards had not lost man,
but the officer himself made no allusion
to the fight. which had lasted an hour
and twenty minutes.
As the Mangrove was creeping out OF
the channel she went aground and lay
there five hours. Had the same mishap
befallen her during the engagement the
chances are that she would have been
sent to the bottom with all on board.

THE sUNKEN SPANISH VESSELS.
The Wrecking Company Hopes to
Save the Maria Teresa.

SANTIAGO, August 1.-THE Associated
Press correspondent to-day visited the
wrecks Of the warships OF Admiral Ger
vera's fleet. Captain Sharp, Of the Chap
man-Merritt Wrecklng Company. is work.
ing vigorously to float the Maria Teresa,
and expects to get her in such condition
as to enable her to come to Santiago
within fortnight She has hole fifteen
feet long in her bottom very close to the
keel. This is being closed and stopped
with unriveted plates, soldered, and ce-
ment and bagging.
Captain Sharp, however. has. no SAN
guine hopes of saving the Cristobal Colon.
In fact, he considers the task practically
impossible. despite the contrary opinion
entertained by some. and he would not
guarantee that the vessel can be foated.
The salvage of the Rena Mercedes and
the Merrimac. he says. will be easy.
Both can be fioated with little difficulty,
and he will undertake the contract with
confidence.
The Almirante Oquendo and the Viz
caya are both total wrecks, and not worth
saving for junk.

WHEELER DEFENDS CuBANs.
lie Says There Are Many Excuses Tor
Their behavior.

WASHINGTON, August 17.-General
Wheeler has received orders to resume
command at Camp Wickoff until the ar
rival of General Shatter. He had a three
quarters of an hour conference with the
President to-day, and the latter put nu-
merous questions TO him, and received not
only an account of his general expert
ences in that campaign. but also his views
on various issues incident to the adjust
ment of affairs on the island.
FRICTION WILL PASS AWAY.
One point that was uppermost was the
possibility of a rupture with the CUBAN
insurgents. General Wheelers statements
were very reassuring. "All the friction
he said, between the Americans and Gu
bans will soon pass away, ana there VIII
be harmony and good feeling between
them" He explained that there was
class OF men in Cuba who had never been
friendly to the Cubans. but. on the con-
trarv. had been favorable TO Spain, who,
likely. would do all they could TO keep up
this misunderstanding, though he did not
apprehend any dangerous outcome. Gene
raj Wheeler expressed the belief that the
Cubans i'm time, when freed from oppres-
sion and given a stable and humane gov
eminent. would become a law-abiding and
useful people.
THEY DIDN'T UNDERSTAND Us
Just at the close Of Office hours the San
tiago hero stopped TO speak to group OF
newspaper men, and was soon surrounded
by a crowd OF the employees In the war
Department, who listened eagerly TO what
he said. The trouble with the CuDans
seemed TO be that they wanted TO co-ope-
rate and not be under orders from the
American generals. he explained. He add
ed that they could not understand our
language, and often orders given to them,
when translated. seemed no doubt harsh
and abrupt. This led to several misunder-
standings.
THEY ARE VERY WEAK.
AS 10 the Cubans refusing to work, he
said they did some work when they un-
derstood it's importance, but they were
not able to accomplish much, owing TO
their physical condition. They had been
living mostly on fruits and vegetables
and did not possess the strength for the
hardships which well-fed soldiers have

America Strong in Itself.

The Anglo-American relations
continue to be a fruitful subject of
consideration for the Paris news
papers, NJ. Sassy, foreign editor of
the Journal, gives this morning his
opinion concerning any possible
alliance between the United States
and Great Britain. Regarding
Americas part in any understand
ing which may be thought to exist
he takes a conservative view. "The
whole discussion" he says, sis full
of buncombe. The Americans are
too clear-sighted to follow the lead
of Mr.. Chamberlain. They haye
simply responded with fine words to
the British advances, but when it
comes to the scratch the Ameri-
cans feel themselves strong enough
to take care of themselves and
their interests. They find reason
for believing that England would be
great assistance in an emergency,
or that they would not be Eng
lands dupes in striking an alliance
that would weigh heavily upon them
without offering any advantage.
We wish to add that with the
present system of taxation, which
dumps money into the National
Treasury, the United States viii
need for nothing in the way of pro-
curing war supplies, and can hire
all the soldiers needed from foreign
climes, ii need be to fight all of it,
battles. We don't have to form al
alliance for protection, with any
nation, and why is there so mucl
talk about the matter.

GUS in all those elements that are

The piece as interpreted last night
by strong company of comedians
is sure cure for depression o+
spirits and syphony of delight t
the lover of farcical comedy.
"The company is unusually strong
and admirably adapted to this STYLE
of play. 1t is neither tragic, ro'
mantle nor operatic, 1t is simply
farce comedy in every detail, thai
deserves to stand in the front ranI
of theatrical concoctions designed
for laughing purposes only. The
vocal features were very good, es'
pecially the singing of Beatrice
CANDLES. She possesses a remark
ably mellow voice. The singing and
dancing speciality of Miss Blanche
Henshaw was refined and deserving
of much praise. The limitations of
Charles Darlington were artistic
and complete. Suffice to say that
the entire company compose a
clever entertainment, worthy the
patronage of farce lovers.
