CoLON's SURRENDER

To the BrookIyn-SehIoy's DIanoeuVro
Prevented Her Escape.

ANTONIO, Jamaica. Tuesday Morn
ing, July S. by way of KINGSTON,
jamaica, July 5. p. m.-After a chase
Of sixty miles to the westward. the
Brooklyn closely followed by the Ore
gon, overhauled the Cristobal Colon
after she had run ashore and had haul
ed down her flag. Captain Cook OF the
Brooklyn went on board Of her and the
commander Of the Spanish armoFed
cruiser came forward TO surrender and
was taken on board the New York,
which came up an hour after the
Brooklyn and Oregon had completed the
capture OF the Cristobal Colon. The lat
ter was not seriously damaged, though
she was struck several times by shots
from the Brooklyn and Oregon.
During the chase a clever maneuVre
OF Commodore Schley's In heading due
west to Cape Caney, while the Cristobal
Colon had taken more southerly d.
rectlon with much greater distance TO
cover, rendered the Spaniard's escape
impossible.
There seems to be no doubt that the
Crlstobal Colon. and perhaps the other
three Spanish asmored cruisers would
have escaped had It not been for the
prompt action OF Commodore Schley
The Brooklyn, his flagship, alone was
In position to attack the Spanish ves-
seEs as they left the harbor and the
commodore steamed directly towards
them and engaged all four cruisers, In
fllctinG great damage upon them.
The Oregon was the first to join the
Brooklyn and afterwards the Iowa, In
diana, Texas and Vixen closed around
the Spanlards, all pouring in deadly
fre, but from the beginning to the end
OF the fight the Brooklyn. Oregon and
Gloucester took the most important
part In the destruction OF the enemy.
One man, George Henry Ellis. was
killed on board the Brooklyn. His head
was blown Off by shell
One other man, ]. Burns, was injured
on board OF her.
The Brooklyn was struck half dozen
times, but no injury was done to any Of
the other ships.

WASHINGTON, D. C. July 5.-ThiS
has been a comparatively quiet night
at both the war and navy departments
Several dispatches were received by Ad-
iutant General corbin from General
shafter, but their contents were not
given to the public. No bulletins had
been posted at midnight either by the
war department or by the navy depart
ment.
A message received from General
sbufter indicates that the situation Of
the people Of Santiago is terrible. They
arc not only panic-stricken over the
fear of bombardment, but they are sut-
ferlng from lack OF the actual uecessar-
les of life. In one OF his cablegramS
General shafter says' "The town Csan-
tlaqo) is in a terrible condition as to
food. The people are starving. Rice Is
practically the only staple article OF
food they have"
Further along in the same dispatch
Shafter says that the growing food
crops in the vicinity Of the city have
already been utilized by the residents OF
the city and that the only growing ar
ticla Of food left IS few mangoes.
Speaking Of the troops under his COM
mand, General Shafter says:
"The men are in good spirits and re-
markably well"
shafter, referring TO the condition OF
those injured, says: "All the wounded
ore doing slDgularly well. only one
death having occurred since the baetle'
The general statement OF the eitua-
tion in Santiago. is borne out by the
condition OF the men captured by the
American feet from the vessels OF Ger
vera's squadron. They had been on
half ratIons so long that many OF them
were nearly fanished, and II they had
not been taught that capture by the
Americans meant death, they would
have welcomed It, because It insured
them good food and plenty OF 1t.
1t IS learned authoritatively that tre-
TnendouB pressure is being brought TO
bear upon the Spanish commander OF
Santiago by the foreign consuls resident
IN the city to induce him In the inter-
ests OF humanity to surrender TO the In
eVltable. The consuls have communi.
Gated with their home governments, and
1t is believed here that representations
will be made by them to Spain to In
duce her to permit the city to surren-
der, thereby preventing further loss OF
life and property. What the result OF
these negotiations may be cannot be
IoFetold. The opinion expressed by war
officials Is that the Spaniards will night
TO the Inst and cApltulate only when
they are forced to do so.
For that reason any delay OF onen-
slve action against the city is not re-
garded in army circles with favor

GERS and men under his Immediate direc-
tion are the ones who achieved the VIC
tory, and all honor should be given
them. Sampson commands the feet In
those waters, but 1t was Commodore
Schley in command when Cervera and
his fleet made the plucky attempt to es-
cape. and 1t was under Schley that ev.
cry one OF the Spanish fleet met Its de-
structIon. Schley and his men have per-
formed notable feat that viii go down
in history hand In hand with that dar-
ing forcing of Manila harbor by Dewey
on May l. Congress should be prompt
in recognizing their services. and there
should be no delay In rendering Its
thanks and those Of the country to the
real heroes at Santiago"

here from London that upon the arrival

several warships Of Germany and other

buttons have already estah>lshed lung
disease sanitariums, and others are en-
gagged in doing so. Thus the insurance
institution of Berlin intends to erect a
large plant for curing pulmonary dis.
eases, as we'll as other kinds Of sickness,
such as diseases Of the stomach, nerves.
etc.
This establishment will be erected in
the neighborhood Of Berlin, in the
midst Of a forest, at a cost OF about
6, 900, 900 marks. 1t is intended to
make it a first class one, in which the
latest hygienio requirements will be
complied with. Work will be begun on
the buildings this summer, and they
will be completed in two years, and the
plans and models will be exhibited at
the Paris exposition. This movement
has spread, and sanitariums are being
erected for all classes Of people, and it
is beyond question that it will in time
greatly contribute toward diminishing
the scourge Of consumption. However,
too exalted hopes should not be- enter
tanned by reason Of present success.
Another advantage has been gained
in calling the attention of workingmen
to this disease and its terrible effects
and to the possibility Of supervising it.
They are interested in the question and
think it over. The hygienic education
sanitarium is of value after he has been
discharged from the establishment and
is impaired to the circle Of his family
and Of his acquaintance.
The total Of all the payments made
in the last decade by these three classes
of insurance amounts, during this Pc
riDd-that is, up to the end Of lS94-to
over one milliard Of marks, which have
been spent for the workingmen. This
sum includes only expenditures for
working people, exclusive of the cost of
administration and exclusive of the as
sets accumulated.
Has the German workingmen's in.
surance met with the expected social
| political results? He who believed that
Social Democracy would disappear from
the horizon as tie result Of the work
ingnen insurance law will, Of course,
be greatly disappointed in his expecta-
tions. Nor can it be asserted that the
German labor element has become bet
ter satisfied. On the contrary, the de-
mands of the workingmen have risen.
Nevertheless | can affirm that the in
surance has already contributed much
and is contributing more aud more to
bringing the German labor element out
of the Social Democratic u%topianism to
a reasonable field of sound, practical
politics. The w~orkingman realizes that
there exists in the present order of state
and society a good field for the improve
ment of his material and moral situa-
ton and that it will even be possible
for him to expect very much more. The
insurance legislation and the organiza-
lions created thereby still show many
defects, and the social political effects
OF this legislation will run pari passu
with the efforts being made to remove
these defects and to bring the organiza.
tons to their highest perfection. Any
how, the social political legislation is
taking the right road, which will sure.
~ lead to success. DR.. Richard

Plutocracy."

Under the above caption last Satur-
day mornings Journal contained q
humorous political gem which any
one would recognize as being really
funny-if it had been plainly labeled.
The UNION presents a portion Of it.
Here it is:
Before the pop got Office,
The pop a saint would be;
And when the pop got office,
The pop a saint was he.
Oh. was he? l wish to ask the read
ers Of the Journal if he paid the Door
mans rent when he was boosted into
office and prosperity by his less fortu-
nate comrades in wailing? Did he avoid
the ways of the plutocrat and still wear
his whiskers "a la alfalfa?' Well, I
guess not. Has he walked to the leg
islature or paid his fare, and thus
avoided the stigma of a bride by the
"grasping corporations" Well, 1
guess 0 Has he done one single act
that has lightened the burdens of his
less fortunate comrades IN bowling?
Not that you a notice.
Has this contributor %floundered
around in the mire of political lunacy
until he considers it the duty of this
much-despised pop official to ''pay the
poor mans rent?:" Former republican
administrations left affairs in such
shape that the warrants ia which this
pop official was paid we're only worth
SO cents on the dollar aud it kept the
poor devil busy to get enough out of
his salary to pay his w rem Has
this ''humorist" sunk so deep into the
slough of partisan idiocy that he de-
mands that the populist official shall
wear his whiskers "a Ia ALFALFA" In
case the official should grant this de-
mand the soul of this Bill Nye the Sec
ond would cry out and refuse to be
comforted until the entire crop of pop
ulist whiskers,' in a. their majestic
grandeur, should be harvested and for
evec placed beyond reach of his trou-
bled vision! And does this political
"humorist" consider it the duty of pop
ulist officials to ''wslk to the legisla-
ture?" We confess that the republi-
can policy in this state has forced a
good many people to walk" or stay at
home. And AS for ''walking to the
legislature" we would advise even a
populist legislator to save his shoe
leather and ride on the train when
ever a railroad pass is handy. We
recommend this process from personal
experience.
Then this poetical contributor goes
on and asks a lot more questions of
ABOUT the same character us the ones
given and answers them himself. The
UNION would print the whole article
if it had a grudge against its readers,
but u contributor with such a narrow
guage mind as is evidenced in the ar
ticle here discussed is unworthy the
recognition which a clean discussion
would accord to him.

Question forms the subject OF an in

~lessening the consumption of liquors
generally.
