ANTISEPTIC TREATMENT.
1t Has Been Very Successful With
tthe Wounded Men.

WASHINGTON, July 12-The Sur
geon General of the navy has received
a report from the surgeons with the
fleet showing that in many cases of
wounded. some of them serious no rise
of temperature or an accumulation of
pus has occurred From q medical
standpoint this is said to be q great
advance from the conditions during
the Civil War, and is attributed to the
introduction of antiseptic treatment of
wounds. 1t shows that no fever fol-
lows the wounds. and In the absence
of pus the wounds heal rapidly with
out complications. Considering the
great number of wounded to be treated
now and hereafter, this is regarded as
most satisfactory showing.

CAPTAIN EULATE TALKS.
Pays a High Compliment to the
Brooklyn's Maueuveriug.

SANTIAGO (Cuba) July 6, via
Charleston (S. c.. July 12-Through
Lieutenant of Marines Thomas S. Bor-
den, who conversed in French with the
prisoner, an interview was obtained for
the Associated Press with Captain Eu-
late of the armored cruiser ViZcaya
He said:
The entire squadron was ordered to
devote the fire of their guns to the
cruiser Brooklyn, because ii was be-
lieved that she was the only ship in
the American squadron that could
overtake us. When we got out of
the harbor our ship was second in line.

terrible baptism of fire. 1t was fright
ful. The Texas and Brooklyn were
just riddling her, and in fifteen min

the Oquendo had gone ashore also, her
steam pipes evidently having been sew

the Brooklyn was beautiful. We opened
a rapid fire at her with our big guns
but she returned it with terrible eff
feet. The Oregon also hit us several
times, but the Brooklyn's broadside
crushed into our superstructure and
simply terrorzed the men. We worked
all our guns at her, and / don't see
how she escaped us. She simply drove
us into shore, at one time fighting us
at 1,1O0 yards. One shell went along
the entire deck, killing half the men
on it and wounding nearly all the rest

SUBMARINE MINES.
Secretary of War Has Ordered
Them Removed From Harbors.

WASHINGTON, July 12-The Sec
retary of War has ordered the removal
of all the submarine mines which pro-
tect the harbors of the United States
against the entry of hostile ships. This
action was decided upon at to-day's
Cabinet meeting. For weeks past. in
fact almost since the beginning of hos
tilities, the War Department has been
flooded with protests from the com
mercial centers Of the country against
the continuance of these mines which
operated to the great detriment of COM
merce.
After thoroughly considering the sub
ject it has been decided by the en-
gineers that the safest and quickest
means of removing mines is by ex-
ploding them. and orders to do this
have been given to all Of the United
States engineer officers in charge of
harbor d fer ses throughout the country.
The order of removal. 1t is said. is to
apply to localities where the interest
of commerce demand the same. In
cases where it is safe an effort will
be made to remove the mines instead
of exploding them. Wherever there is
any doubt, they will be exploded The
action of the sea in some instances
caused the dynamite in the eIlipsoidal
vessels to ooZe out through the screw
threads where the plug is inserted and
unless the best care is taken the re-
moval of the plug may cause an ex-
plosion. 1t will be some days before
the actual operation of removing or ex-
ploding the mines cap be rut in opera
tion and the question as to whether
the interests of commerce demand it
will be left to the discretion of engineer
officers having jurisdiction over the
various districts of the United States.
INJURIES TO TURRETS.
WASHINGTON, July 12.-The Navy
Department has received no word as
to the injuries to the forward turrets
of the battleships Iowa and Indiana,
as referred to in press dispatches

that the injuries are not serious, as

parently greatly pleased with the prog
ress made by the army under the con-
ddtlons prevailing. He has not as
sumed command, as is evidenced by his
message
The most important result of the
Cabinet deliberations to-day was the
order to remove the mines which
guard all the coast ports. Many mill
tary men were opposed to yielding to
the pressure of the commercial inter
ests, and some of them are predicting
that not few communities which have
been earnest in their demand for the
removal of the mines will be frantically
clamoring for protection at the very
first rumor of the presence of a hostile
gunboat or cruiser off their coast.
Before the war began our4sGr'Ve'r- :
ment accumulated a stock of coal at
St. Thomas, West Indies. Most of it
was ashore, but 1000 tons was on u
schooner lying in the harbor. Twice
since the war broke out the United
States has availed itself of this coal,
once to supply the Minneapolis and
once the Montgomery, but as each was
bound for the nearest home port and
took only enough coal to carry her
there, it was fairly assumed that there
had been no breach of neutrality. How
ever, it appears that there is now dis
position exhibited by the Danish au-
thorities to prevent the United States
ships from using this coal, and as there
is no question of their right to lay down
such a rule, the coal itself probably
will be let alone. Fortunately there is
no particular need for it, as there are
now other means of coaling a fleet in
use. The incident is one which Will be
used as a strong argument for the es-
ia blishment of coaling stations in var
ious parts of the globe for the benefit
of the United States navy.
Although the statement has been re-
peated day after day that no overtures
have yet been made to our Government
for peace, it may be repeated once
more, in view of the express denial
given at the State Department L.
such of the stories emanating from
European sources to seek to
create the impression that the
United States Government or any
of its representative had made
any movement in this direction. The
fact is to-day as it has been: The first
overtures in the direction of peace
must come from Spain directly or indi-
rectly.

The Americans suffered no loss.
At noon to-day General Shafter COM
municated by signal with Admiral
Sampson. requesting the latter to cease
firing Then the General sent General
Wheeler into the Spanish lines, under
flag of truce, with a message to Gen
eral Toral, the Spanish commander, re-
citing the fact that the American ships
had given complete demonstration that
they could throw shells into the city
and destroy it, and that the American
troops had the city completely sur
rounded and that the 1900 Spanish
troops and Cuban citizens We're starry
ing to death at e. Caney and pointing
out that our army had no means of
feeding them. General Shafter then de-
manded the unconditional surrender of
the city and coupled this demand with
the statement that unless General Toral
acceded, the assault upon the city, both
by land and sea forces, would be re-
newed at once. Several hours elapsed
before any reply was received from
General Toral and then he sent mes
sage to General Shafter to the effect
that the matter was of such great i'm
portance that he was obliged to refer
ii to the Madrid Government and that
he would send his final answer as soon
as he could receive instructions from
Madrid. 1t was then late in the after
noon, and General Shafter gave orders
to all the troops to get as much rest as
possible and be prepared TO resume the
attack at any moment.

"P. Z. Wilson, New Orleans,

the Hawaiian hotel register for
some weeks past.
Captain P. E. Wilson, as he is
known and honored at home, is a

Wagon Co, of Stsunton, Virginia,
and New Orleans, La. This con-
Germ manufactures sugar plsnta-
ton and mill implements and
machinery. Notable among it's
productions are the inventions OF
Mr.. Msllon, who is a recognized
genius for inventing.
The special business of Captain
Wilson here is to introduce the
Bodley- Nation cane carrier feeder
1t automatically unloads cane cars
upon the carriers that lead into
the rollers. The device is extern
sively used in Louisiana.
A Bulletin reporter met Captain
Wilson on the hotel veranda this
morning and found him very
pleasant gentleman indeed. He
said he had visited Hawaii anC
Maui, also some of the plantations
on this island, and intended tax
ing a trip to Kauai, Asked abou
his Impressions of the Hawaiian
sugar industry as compared witt
that of Louisiana, he said that ,
comparison could not easily b,
