Santiago de Cuba. July 6. via Charles
Of Marines Thomas S. Borden. who con
versed in French with the prisoner, an
interview was obtained for the Assoc
ciated Press with Captain Eulate, of the
Spanish armed cruiser Nizcaya. He
said:
THE entire squadron was ordered to
devote the fire of their guns to the
cruiser Brooklyn. because it was be-
lieved that she was the only ship in the
American squadron that could overtake
us. When we got ont of the harbor my
ship was second in line. and | saw im
medately that the flagship Maria Teresa
was getting Il terrible baptism of fire.
1t was frightfu. The Texas and the
Brooklyn were just Kidding her. and i'll
fifteen minutes | saw she was on fire.
The Iowa and Oregon were firing on the
Oquendo. and as yet | had not been bad

closer to us than any other ship. and |
determined to try and ram her. so that
the Colon and Oquendo could get away,
and | started for her. She was Il good

started thought surely | would get her.
but she had evidently seen us and very
quickly she turned about and making

moved in toward shore so that | could
avoid her. and then | saw that the
Oquendo had gone ashore also. her steam
pipes evidently having been severed by
Il shell. The manouvre of the Bro 1klyn
was beautiful. We opened rapid fire

turned it with terrible effect.

OUR SUPERB FIGHTERS
MAJOR De GRANDPREY'S TRIBUTE TO OUR
SOLDIERS.
An aggressive, Eager Impetuous Body, The
Like of Which is not Seen Elsewhere
Perhaps in The World.

Washington, ID. c., July 12.-Major
De Grandprey, military attache of the
French Embassy, has just returned from
the American headquarters near SANTA
go, where he has been observing for his
government the progress of military
operations. He paid glowing tribute
to the fighting ability of our soldiers.
81 have the most complete admiration
for your men," said Major De Grand
prey to an Associated Press reporter
to-day.
"They are a superb body individually
and as an army, and | suppose not
throughout the world is there such Il
splendid lot of fighting men. 1t is the
fighting characteristic of the men which
is most apparent. They are aggressive,
eager for action. never needing the voice
of an officer to push them forward. An
other marked characteristic is the self
reliance of each man; what we call the
character of initiative. 1t is almost I'M
known in European armies, where every
movement, and the move to meet each
action of the enemy. awaits the 'inltla-
tive of an officer Bnt with your men
they fight to the front. meeting each
emergency as it arises, overcoming OBJ
stacles by their own initiative. Such
sell reliant fighting men make an ex-
ceptionaly impetuous army. for every
unit contributes in the Irresistible on
ward movement The Spanish troops
do not have this same characteristic.
They are more passive, more cautious.
Besides the impetuosity of such lighting
material it has the effect of inspiring a
morale among the troops, making them
feel that success is assured, and ut the
same time carrying disorder and depres-
sion to the ranks of the enemy"
Major De Grandprey says the fighting
about Santiago is something entirely
different from the warfare of European
and other armies of modern times. The
dense vegetation and tangle of tropical
vine make it impossible to observe the
usual military formation. AS result
there is little or no effort to fight i'll solid
formation. Every man is fighting for
himself, pushing forward through the
shrubbery. vines and tall grass. 1T is
impossible to see the enemy.
Major De Grandprey also speaks high
~ Of the efficiency with which the
American troops and supplies were start
ed on their expedition and debarked in
Cuba. This has come in for cOnsidera-
bic criticism in this country, but Major
De Grandprey says that considering the
brief time allowed for equipping the eX-
petition. remarkable results were Sc
cured. European military expeditions,
such as those Of England or France to
Africa or other points, he says. are
planned six months ahead. which allows
ample time for working out the most
minute details.

CAPTURE OF TWO SLOOPS.
Running the Blockade Under the Brit
ish Flag.

Key West Fla, July 12.-1:2O p. NJ
The British soop Wary. another would
be blockade runner, was captured OH
the md inst. by the United States aux.
iliary cruiser st. Louis and arrived here
to-day under n prize crew consisting of
Port Officer Il. J. Albrecht and two
men.
The Wary is a 21-ton vessel. and was
loaded with provisions of a miscellane-
Gus character. She, under Captain
jeremiah Nose and three men, all ia
maica negroes. was hound from Kings
ton for Cape Cruz. 1t was first suspect
cd that her British flag was subterfus
to enable her to pass the blockade. hut
later it developed that her patent, dated
April 10th, 1897. was bona fde, and
that she was boldly attempting in the
face of all risks to land her cargo for
the starving Spaniards on the island.
When sighted by the st. Louis. the
sloop was becalmed and Captain Nose,
who was unfamiliar with the water
thcreabouts, was expecting Il pilot to
take him in. The st. Louis sent four
or five shots from her six Founders. but
as the sloop showed no indication Of
surrendering. the gig was lowered and
half dozen men pulled toward her,
peppering her sails with shot from their
small arms.
Captain Mess afterward said that he
thought all this was done in sport, bar
when he found himself Il prisoner of
war he became badly frightened. and
spent the whole time between capture
and arrival here III praying and weeping.
Another schooner, the Wickerson. WIS
captured by one of the converted yachts
ut about the same place two days be-
fore the Wary was taken. She was
owned by two German merchants. who

to Manzanilo.
The prize crew Of the Wary say that
many ships are loading on the coast of
jamaica and getting cargoes Of provi-
sions safely into Cuba by Southern
ports.
