cial attention to prevent escape Of the de-

were soon seen to blow up, apparently
struck by our six-inch and six-pounders.
We now tried our large guns at the Viz

SOUNDS THE ALARM
SENATOR DAVIS SPEECH AT SE.
PAUL YESTERDAY
Warns the People That the Govern
ment Must Staud Ready to
Protect Its Coasts

ST. PAUL, July a. With great cere-
nony. III the presence Of an immense con-
course of people this afternoon Hon. Alex-
ander Ramsey. territorial governor, only
survivor of the famous Union war COVER
nors. ex-secretary of war. ex-United states
senator, laid the corner stone Of Mime
sota's capitol building In this city. The
two million dollar building was designed
by Cass Gilbert, St. Paul architect, and
1t is being constructed of granite from b.
Cloud with Georgia marble for supes-
structure and trimmings. Archbishop
Ireland prayed.
The principal grafton was delivered by
United States Senator Cushman X. Devis,
chairman Of the senate committee ON for
eign relations. and this benediction was
pronounced by the venerable Bishop Whip
pie of the Episcopal church. -
The speech Of Senator Davis was devoted
largely to discussion Of the foreign af-.
fairs of the government. He spoke hope
fully Of the better relations between tho
United States and Great Britain, but the
situation in the far east he described as
being pregnant with wars" and he DO
clared that the recent aggressions by thu
powers of Europe upon China were acts
of war.
Next to China" he said, ''the Pacific
possessions of the United States are tho
most inviting objects Of attack. Under
existing conditions their defense would be
difficult. Had Spain triumphed at Ma
Mia as decisively as did the United States,
her navy could have seized Honolulu and
have operated from there upon the entire
coast of the United States from Mexico to
the Yukon. An ovcrpowerins European
force in the Asiatic waters could do the
same thing, SO could Japan"
Senator Davis declared the situation to
be one Of alternatives, and said the United
States must bacome an efficient element
in the Asiatic situation or must entirely
abstain from any participation in II. rest.
ing content to return to it's own shores u
cover the smallest possible share Of ifs
commercial advantages and to prepare for
its own defense against tho same agrees
sions which have reduced China to her
present condition. ~
The senator believed, however, that thu
United States should take no backward
course. He favored the maintenance of
the present excellent condition tof the
United States navy and the making of lib
eral appropriations for its maintenance
and the immediate construction Of the
Nicaragua canal he declared to be Of the
highest Importance. Recent events. he
said, had demonstrated this.

to pay a visit to the prisoners. Mr.. Cas-
tillo was born in Spain, but has been a citi-
zen Of the United States since 1886. He re-
turned yesterday after days visit at An
napons. He received courteous treatment
from Admiral McNair, and had conversa-
tons with Admiral Cervera and his officers.
After explaining to a reporter of the World
that the purpose Of his visit was to offer
such aid as the Spanish officers might
need, Mr.. Castillo said:
admiral Cervera and his officers ex-
pressed great gratitude for the generous
treatment of the American government.
Nothing that could add to their physical
comfort has been omitted.
Mr.. Castillo said that the view that the
Spanish fleet was outcfassed prevailed
among Cervera's officers, while the ships
lay in Santiago bay.
There was always a shortage OF coal.

U. 8. 8. INDIANA (hrst-rate), OFF SAN
TIAGO DE CUBA, July 4.-Sir:
First-I have the honor to submit the fol-
lowing report of the operations Of the In
diana in the action of July with the Span
ish SQUADRON off Santiago de Cuba.
Second-At 9:37, while the crew were at
quarters preliminary to general muster,
noted two guns fired from the Iowa and
the general order, "Enemy's ships escap-
ing" flying. At once cleared ship for ac-
ton, and the crew were at the guns In re-
markably short time, all officers and men
showing an alacrity that indicated clearly
their pleasure at the opportunity offered
them.
Third-Spanish squadron was seen emery
ing from the harbor, and in few moments
a general action ensued. The leading ship,
which proved to be the Infanta Maria Te-
resa, flying the flag of Vice Admiral Ger
vera, was followed by the other vessels of
the squadron, as follows: Vizcaya, Cristo-
bal Colon, Oquendo and the torpedo-boat
destroyers Furor and Pluton. The enemy's
vessels headed to the westward and our
ships headed in the same direction! keep
ing as nearly abreast of them as possible.
Fourth-This ship fired on all of them as
they came out, one by one. and continued
the action later by firing principally on the
Maria Teresa, Oquendo, Furor and Pluton.
Several of our shells were seen to- Take
effect ON these vessels Our secondary
battery guns were directed particularly
on the destroyers as also were the six-inch
guns. The destroyers were sunk through
the agency of our guns and those of the
Gloucester which vessel had come up and
engaged them close in board.
Fifth-The initial fire of the last two
ships was directed at this vessel, and, al
though falling very close, only struck the
ship twice. without any injury to the ship
or crew.
Sixth-Our ranges were obtained by an
giles on Moro as the ships emerged. and
then by angles on the tops Of the rear ships.
The ranges were from 500 to 5000 yards, OBJ

This desirable condition of affairs Is largely
due to the efforts of the officers, and de-

Mr.. Castillo said. "They could not injure
the American feet because they came out
Of Santiago harbor in single file. Each
ship was pounded as 1t came out"
Mr.. Castillo said the Spanish government
had sent draft for 900 for the expenses
of the men in this country. and that the
money is now available. Admiral Ger
vera's figures show that twenty Of his Of
fcers were lost. He has learned that one
who was reported as missing has turned up
at Santiago.

given no interviews to the press, and that
