Completes As That of Dewey, Says the
London Times

London, 'uly 5.-The Times remarks,
editorially. this morning: Admiral Samp-
sons brilliant exploit was as complete as
Admiral Dewey's was. Nothing but the
conviction that his plight within the har-
Dor was hopeless could have justified Ad-
miral Cervera's attempt to leave. Had
he been able to judge correctly of what
was passing in General Skaters mind.
doubtless he would have remained. The
difficulties of navigation probably caused
him to make bold effort by daylight.

BRAVERY OF SPANIARDS

|
The officers and crew must have been
aware of the fate which seemed to be
before them, but it was not until the
ships were on fire and enveloped in
flames and smoke that the men ceased
firing. The Gloucester, after sending a
boat ashore to the Pluton. steamed
along the coast to where tho armored
cruisers were stranded and went to their
assistance. There was danger from the
magazines, and many of those on
board jumped into the water and swan
to the shore, though a number were
unable to reach the small strip of
thrown against the rocks and killed or
drowned.
Many of the wounded were lowered
into the ships own boats and taken
ashore, but this task was a most diff
cult one
The Gloucester had all her boats out,
and one seaman swan through the surf
with line from the Maria Teresa,
making it fast to a tree on the shore.
By this means many on the flagship
Including Admiral Cervera lowered
themselves into the Gloucester's boats.
The wounded were taken to the Glou-
cester as rapidly as possible, and the
lower deck of the yacht was soon COW
cred with Spanish sailors, mangled in
limb and body by the bursting of
shells.
The Gloucester's crew gave the
wounded men every attention possible
The shore was lined with those who
had escaped from the Infanta Maria
Teresa and the Almirante Oquendo.

SPANIARDS REJOICING.
Glad Cervera Left Santiago, But Are
Somewhat Anxious.

Madrid, July 4.-Thunder storms, very
heavy and causing fatalities, have partly
interrupted Geographic communication
and only meagre news is published. There
are great rejoicings over Admiral Ger
vera'S quitting the harbOr of Santiago,
but there is an undercurrent of great
anxiety as to his fate. 1t is considered
preferable that he should even succumb
to Admiral SIMPSONS superior forces
than to remain to be sunk by General
Skaters artillery.
General Blanco cables as follows: mo
details have been received as to the naval
fight, but 1t is rumored that Admiral Ger
vera reached port of southern Cuba"
1t is officially announced that the last
vessels of Admiral Camara'S squadron
have passed the Seuz canal.

OF supplies, has reached Santiago de

miral Cervera heard these reinforcements

Spoke On the War and the Scramble
For Wealth

Boulder, Colo, July 1.-The summer
meeting of the Texas Chautauqua open
ed today at this place, at the camp pre-
pared for the permanent summer home
of the organization. This afternoon
Hon. Henry Wattersop of Kentucky de-
livered a lecture appropriate to the day
He spoke at some length on the right
eousness of the present war, declaring
that in brutality the Spaniard had far
exceeded the ''Unspeakabie Turk The
latter, he said. had religious zeal for his
excuse, while the former had only greed
and a tigers thirst for blood.
The main part of his speech was de-
voted to Money" He went on to show
that the chief danger of the Americas
republic, as well as to many other ma
lions. was the insane scramble for
wealth. He claimed that great wealth
was degrading, rather than ennobling.

Practically Destroyed.

Stock of the Chicago Grocery Store
Practically Destroyed.
At 2:4O this morning fire played havoc
in the Chicago grocery store at %
East Third South. When the fire de-
partment arrived on the scene flames
and smoke were issuing from the doors
and windows, and the fire gave promise
of wiping out it and adjacent shacks.
A coal oil tank under the stairway
made it a difficult matter TO quench the
blaze. A ledger, E. Parson, in the up
per story, made his escape, but was
almost overcome with smoke. The ORR
gin of the fire is in doubt. The building
is an old frame structure and is dam
aged about $500. 1t is owned by Mrs
Julia G. Brooks and will not likely be
repaired, for it is hardly worth it. The
grocery stock is almost completely de-
stroyed Competent judges place the
loss at $1,000, although Proprietor A.
d. knitting claims to have had about
"a, 500 worth of goods ON hand, insured
for So, 000.

GARFIELD BEACH.
A Big Day at the Old Favorite
Resort.

There was no special programme for
Garfield beach, but the loneliness of the
old favorite resort and the matchleSS
bathing were sufficient attractions TO bring
such a concourse of people as taxed the
management to take care of. Train after

The pavilion was crowded the refresh
ment department was more than crowded,
while the lake was alive with humanity,
who disported themselves in the briny
deep. The water was Just right, neither
too hot nor too cold, and the sandy beach
was bright, clean and inviting. Manager
Barratt was on deck. attending to the
wants of everybody, as courteous and ge-
NAL as ever The day was distinct sue

Garfield is strictly in it.

London, July 5.-The Hongkong cores

the LadroEe islands, on June 20. The
Charleston fired a few shells at the Santa
Cruz forts, which did not reply. The
Spanish were not aware that a state of

clared on June %.

GERMAN RUDENESS.
Cruiser Closely Followed the Ameri-
can Transports

London, July 5.-The Hongkong cor
respondent of the Daily Mail says: The
triumphal entrance of the reinforcing
squadron into Manila harbor was
marred by an unpleasant incident, for
which the Germans were responsible.
AS the ships came up the bay, they
" ere closely followed by the German
warship Kaiserin Augusta, which had
beer cruising about Marivelee for aome
time. The impression given every one
who watched her was that she gas not
only making a, close observation of the
American forces, but endeavoring to
show both Americans and Spanish that
she represented a nation which must
be reckoned with in the present crisis.
The feeling among both Americans and
Englishmen in the bay is that Ger
manys attitude, as shown by these
is highly reprehensible, and
anything but respectful to the United
States.
Many of the foreign residents at Ma
Mia are as much displeased by the in
cident as the English.

We're doing the greater execution The
Brooklyn and the five battleships were
keeping up an inceSsant fire upon the
Infanta Maria Teresa, the Vizcaya and
the Almirante Oquendo and the latter
was returning it bravely, though with
no success. The Spanish gunners
seemed unable to get the proper range,
and many of their shots were very
wild. though a number of them fell
dangerously near to the mark
The guns of the battery just west of
MORO also took part in the game. and
their shells fell around the American
ships. Many of them struck the upper
works of the fleeing Spaniards and
must have resulted in killing and
wounding many of their men.
The Spanish ships had now reached a
point about seven miles west of MORO,
and a mile or two beyond the place
where the Furor was burning and the
Pluton broken in two against the
cliffs. The flagship and the Oquendo
were the first to show signals of dis
tress. Two 13-inch shells from one of
the battleships had struck the Maria
Teresa at the waterline, tearing great
holes in her side and causing her to
ill rapidly. The Oquendo suffered about
the same fate and both ships headed
for a small cove and went aground 200
