.CERvERA SENDS HIS REPORT On the Destruction of His Fleet by Commodore Schley's @s
 Squadron.

Washington, July 2S.-Admiral Cervera has forwarded to the Spanish government, through the French embassy his full report of the naval engagement which resulted in the annihilation of the Spanish fleet. The report is very long, covering many pages of the admiral's own writing and is even a more elaborate treatment of the gerat engagement than that of Admiral Sampson in his report to the navy department.
 Through the vicissitudes of war Admiral Cerveras s report although addressed to the Spanish minister of marine was submitted first to the American navy department in order that precautions might be taken us ual in communications passing between prisoners of war and the enemys govern ment The examination made by the naval authorities here was solely for purpose of precaution and care was taken not to in- trude into the privacy of the document be- yond this necessary inspection. It was then sent to Ambassador Cambon to be for warded to the Spanish admiralty. The strictest secrecy has been observed while the document has been in transit and in iorder to avoid conjectura1 stories as to sthe contents of the report 1t can be stated that no intimation as to it's contents has been allowed to escape from the few per sons through whom it has passed en route to the Spanish minister of marine.
 If the Cervera report ever reaches the public it will be through the Spanish gov- ,ernment, though it is probable that the re- port is not of character likely to be made public at Madrid

DEATH OF CAPT. C. W. MILLER.
Veteran Mississippi Steamboat Man Dies al
 Scranton.

Louisville, Ky, July Zs.-News was re- ceiyed nere today announcing the death of Captain G. W. Miller, the veteran steam boat man, at Scranton, Miss.
 Captain Natural Miller, as he is best known, is the oldest and probably the widest-known river man in the country. He has made Louisville his home for over sev- enty years. Captain Miller was born in Pennsylvania in 1870, and came to this city when mere boy. fiis second wife was Captain Mary Miller, the first woman ever granted a license to pilot 6 steamboat.
 Captain Natural Miller received his nickname years ago through his river asso- ciates, because he persistently insisted that he was a natural pilot Like nearly all others of his profession, he began life as boat fioater, and followed that vocation until late in the sos, when he learned the bells and how to steer steamboats, becom- ing full-fedged pilot. He accumulated means and bought extensive tracts Of land. He also owned the St. Nicholas block at Sixth and Court place, as well as several improved pieces in Portland. He built sev- eral small steamboats, the last being the Saline, a frail craft. but he took her south and made money with her carrying cotton.
 His wife, Mrs. Mary Miller, was cour- ageous, hard-working woman, and when 1t came to standing watch at the wheel, she could outlast any of her male colleagues Hundreds of stories were printed of Mrs. Mary Miller's exploits with steamers in the bayous and small streams of the south.
 Mrs. Miller died about four years ago. Captain Miller has been in bad health for number of years. When his steamboat, the Lydia Norval, sank at New Orleans, he was standing on the deck, and in his ex- citement he bit his lip. Blood poisoning set in, and has since given the old captain much trouble About four months ago Cap tain Miller left Louisville, thinking the southern climate would agree with him. His condition grew worse, and his rela- tives are expecting to have verified re- port of his death at any time. Captain Mill ler's children live in Louisville They are all grown.

The Fields Alive With Marching
 Blue Coats Yesterday.
THE FIRST SOUTH CAROLINA
Thought to Have Been Ordered 10 Porto Rico, But Later Events Proved That Such Was Not the Case-The Fifth
 Illinois Incident.

Chckamauga National Park, July 2S.-The weather at Camp Thomas today was in contrast with that of the past four days The sun shone brightly and there was no rain except a heavy shower late in the af- ternoon. The regiments throughout the park resumed drill work and the fields were alive with marching blue coats in the after noon. The One Hundred and Sixtieth h. diana, commanded by Colonel Gunder, was the only regiment that left Camp Thomas today. Owing to delays at Rossville it was 4:l5 D. m. before the last of the six sections pulled out.
 During the forenoon the First South Car olina by some mistake received an order which was construed to mean that this regiment was to leave for Newport News immediately. There was enthusiasm in the regiment until later a message came cor rectng the former order and directing the egiment to strike tents and leave Camp Thomas tomorrow for Rossville, whence it will take trains for Jacksonville to report to Major General Fitzhugh Lee.
 At present no other regiments are under orders to proceed to the front and there is a general feeling of apprehension among the men that they will never be ordered to the front because of peace negotiations. There is not a soldier among the 45,00O vol unteers at this camp who does not have an earnest desire to go to the front and make a record in battle. This spirit has been manifest all along and the eagerness of the men has bred restlessness that is especially manifest at this time.
 The Fifth lllions
 The disappointment of tue Fifth Illinois at being turned back yesterday after it had marched to Rossville has so disheart- ened many of the men that they have no further ambition for military life. Colonel Culver denies any responsibility for the orders calling the men back to camp and claims that he was anxious to get the regi- ment to Porto Rico. Having twice been shifted from brigades that were ordered to the front, the Fifth Illinois, naturally feels greatly irritated, and although they were much more tractible' today they were by no means placateG
 Acting Assiststnt Surgeon Robert W. An drews, Unitsd States army, having reported at Gener3f Wade's headquarters, has been assigned to duty at the camp hospital. .--- . Pyivate H. J. Reoder, Company A, Fifth illinois, died at the divisici, hospital today after two days of great agony. The un- fortunate young man a few days ago ate a poisonous root he dug up in the woods, uistaking it for sassafras.

LITTLE PROBABILITY OF
 POPULAR DISCONTENT I

London, July 2S.-The Madrid corre- spondent of the Daily Mail, remarking on the feeling of satisfaction and relief the peace overtures have produced" says:
 There Is little probability of popular discontent, and none at ali if Spain is al- lowed to retain the Philippines, and is not compelled to pay indemnity. The at titude of the people makes the chances of Don Carlos small moreover, the Car lisits are said to disagree about the ad- visibility of rising, the Marquis de Ger ralbo and other leaders opposing the step. Nevertheless, it is feared that Don Carlos will insist upon it."

London, July 2e.-The Daily Mail says this morning.
 with the remarkable speech of United States Senator Davis of St. Paul, two peoples have buried the past. Senator Davis speech is final and complete an- swer to the speech of MT. Chamberlain at Birmingham
 England has no need to go whining for alliance. For some years, until her navy has been strengthened, the over-sea pos sessios of America must be held more or less sufferance, but with the certainty that the British fleet is the side of our kinsmen all peril to the United States vanishes."

Recruits Ordered d to Au tell

Atlanta, July 2S.-The officials of the de- partment of the gulf today ordered the transfer of the 5000 recruits now at Fort McPherson to Austell, sixty miles from Atlanta. The change was made necessary by the demands for more space in which to accommodate the general hospital at the fort. There are no contagious diseases except measles at the post, but the impure air from the lungs of the patients might superinduce disease.

&a3l THE UNITED STATES BATTLE.SHP IOWA. Z u

The United States vessels now here
are rapidly being prepared for use in
case of war. The cruiser Charleston
is nearly ready to leave the dock. 1t is
the intention of Admiral Kirkland to
have her ready for fighting by the end
Of the present month. On Saturday
afternoon the Pensacola was placed in
condition with Captain Henry Glass in
command. She has only a working crew
at present. The reason for placing the
ship in condition at this time is that
she is to be used as quarters for a
large detachment of marines who will
be removed from the marine barracks
in order to make room for temporary
hospital. Since the earthquake left the
dwellings al Mare island, Captain
Glass and several officers have been
living on the Pensacola.
The task of preparing the Philadel-
phia for sea is being expedited as fast
as the mechanics can get ahead with
the work The work has become so
great that the men in the steam engin-
eering department have been ordered
to work overtime. All the officers of the
Albatross have been detached. She
will probably go out of commission.
