Admiral. Cerveverass Captivity

Whether Admiral Cervera's captiv-
ity is OF long or short duration, ii will
profoundly impress him, and through
him all Spain, with the magnanimity
of Americans toward a fallen enemy.
Since his rescue from the surf after
the Maria Teresa a gone on the
rocks he has been treated with every
consideration due his rank. Lieuten-
ant Wainwright placed at his disposal
the cabin of the Gloucester. and de-
clined to receive his sword. On the
ST Louis. which brought him TO the
United States. a prisoner Of war, he
enjoyed every liberty permissible un-
der the circumstances, and care was
exercised that he should be spared
every unnecessary humiliation.

come in contact with him unite in the
opinion that he possesses a high sense
OF honor and is a dignifed and courte-
Gus gentleman. Cervera has given
evidence not merely of the traditional
pride of his race. but he combines
with il a chivalrous nature and true
nobility.
He deserves we'll at our hands. 1t
