Commodore Schley and the party by a line
of filthy houses to a rough wooden shanty
matched with palm leaves. In this place
was a beautiful apparatus, with electrical
batteries to set off the mines. The officer
explained that two were exploded. having

1t was intended to make the trip to- the
hill battery, but the plan was deferred at
the request of the Spanish officer, who
urged, for some reason, that the party
should not go up there.
Just as the party was leaving Lieutenant
Sears stumbled over five-inch shell OF
American manufacture that had not been
exploded. The Brooklyn is the only ship
that uses five-inch shells, and this was one
that had come over the hill.
A little exploration further up the bay

pleasure houses and residences almost de-
serted. Close to the city lay five or six
merchantmen and a little later prize crews

them. Returning toward the Brooklyn,
Commodore Schley sent the launch along

Socety's ship, and made a call on Miss
Clara Barton, whom he congratulated
warmly upon her splendid services.

GUANTANAMO BAY, July 21.-(Corre.
spondence Of the Associated Press) When
Admiral Cervera and the other officers of
| the fleet of Spain were about to sail on
-; the st. Louis, as prisoners of war, 1t was
discovered by Flag Lieutenant James H
Sears that the officers Of the Cristobal Co
lon had their log books with them. He re-
ported the fact to Commodore Schley, who
ordered them seized.
The second in command, Adolphus Con-
treros, came aboard the Brooklyn and
asked that they be returned, as they were
the only records saved. Commodore Schley
said:
II will turn them over to my government
for information"
Contreros stormed and pleaded, and
finally Commodore Schley lost his temper,
as much as he ever does-and that is little
and said:
IT do not see that you are entitled to any
consideration at all. You sunk your ships
after you had surrendered. You ruined
your guns and did everything that dis
honorable enemy could think of. shall
hold your log"
The story told by the log book is an inter-
esting one The minute details, as trans
lated by Lieutenant Benjamin Wells, Jr,
from the daily record constitutes com.
plete story of the movements of Admiral
Cervera's fleet from the time they left
Spain to the memorable day of destruction.

APED THE CHINAMAN
A Drunken Rowdy Blows Himself Up
Near San Jose

SAN JOSE, Cal, July 23.-Constable J.
D. Martin telephoned the Coroner this
morning from Mountain View that one
John Ridell had blown himself up in his
cabin there and been cremated.
The Constable said loud explosion was
heard in the cabin and some one went to
investigate. They knocked at the door,
when Ridell called out: "Stay out; there
going to be more and worse explosions"
The party investigating was afraid to
venture in and left. In few moments a
tarrific explosion was heard and the cabin
began to burn furiously. A number OF
persons rushed to the scene, but could mo-
enter the cabin because of the fire. The
Constable stated over the teleG hone thai
the man could be seen lying in the fire and
slowly being consumed, as there was no
water or any means of combating the fire.
coroner Secord left at once for the scene.
NO further particulars were given by the
Constable. Later a special message to
the Herald said that the man had dynamite

this was what he used. It is added that
he was drunk. This affair was near New

SENECA NOT TO BLAME
Took Her Cargo of Wounded Aboard
in ROUGH Weather

WASHINGTON, July 23.-Sergeant-Gen.
eral Sternberg of the army has requested
through the Adjutant-General's office that
an investigation be made of the charges
that the transport Seneca, which brought
sick and wounded from Skaters army
at Santiago to New York left the former
place with an inadequacy of medical sup
plies and was otherwise unfit for the work
assigned to her.
From letters which have been received
by General Sternberg 1t was learned spe-
cially unfavorable weather conditions pre-
vailed and the surf was running high when
the ship was being loaded with her human
freight, though why sufficient amount of
medical supplies was not put aboard the
vessel is not explained. There was plenty
of quinine and also plenty of morphine
available with the medical corps. but 1t
appears that not enough of the latter drug
was aboard the vessel for all purposes nee
essary and on this account some of the
complaints have arisen. The Seneca was
not designed for a hospital ship and con-
seuuently there may have been some lack
of necessary facilities for caring for the
sick and wounded.
