BLANco ASKS RELIEF.
The Queen Regent Asked to Relieve
Cervera,

ne OuCCH rNCBChh fhohCh W NShSNS
Cervera.
NEW YORK, July 5. - Advices re-
ceiYed by the Junta say:
News has reached here to the effect
that General Blanco has sent mes
sage from Havana to the Queen Re-
gent of Spain requesting her to relieve
Admiral CerYera from command of
the fleet in the harbor Of Santiago,
and urging that he be replaced by
Commodore Villamil, General Blanco
said further he did not believe Admiral
Cervera was equal to the importance
of his command, and intimated that
If Santiago is lost to the American
and Cuban soldiers it will be due to
his neglect to take advantage of his
opportunities. Blanco thinks that
Ceryera has allowed opportunities to
slip by while he has been lying In the
harbor of Santiago, and says that he
should have gone out to meet and
fight the American fleet before the
invading army was given an opportu>
nifty to land.
At the same time Blanco's message
shows that he still believes, or rather
hopes, that Spain will be victorious,
He informs the queen regent that the
dissension and revolt among the
police and volunteers in Havana to
the strict observance of military dis
cipline have blown oyer, and the in
habitants of this city, as we'll as the
soldiers, are pacific and patriotic in
their expressions and actions. He
says that the American soldiers are
not fit to fight In Cuba, never having
had any experience in tropical coun-
tries, and the intense heat and
peculiar climate have produced much
illness among them.
The Cuban soldiers he refers to very
CONTEMPORARY, saying that no ac-
count is to be taken Of them, and he
urges the queen to pay no attention
to American reports of victory In
Cuba, which he says are written fol
the sensational A merican press, ano
have no foundation in fact. Accord
ing to the message. Blanco says that
number of vessels loaded with pro
visions from various ports have ar
rived, and that there is no danger of
a famine.
The American blockade of HaYana
he says, is absolutely Intellectual, anc
steamers find no difficulty in running
it. A few of them are captured, but
the majority so far have succeeded In
landing their cargoes. At the same
time the queen received information
from representatives of Soutt
American countries In Madrid that
they could not undertake to interfere
In any way with the war, even to the
extent OF offering their services, tr
the matter of securing favorable
peace terms. Their dislnclination is
accompanied by expressions of regret
but is couched In such terms as tc
cave Spain no hope from that quarter
The majority of the South Ameri-
can governments represented II
Madrid, while preserving a strict
neutrality, are at heart in favor OF
Cuba, If not the United States, ant
would do nothing to place obstacles
in the way of the island people ant
the independence which now seems
assured them.

An Account of the 0regon's

Grandestt Naval Engagement Of the

vera's fleet, consisting of the armored
cruisers, Cbristobal Colon. Almirante
Oquendo, Infanta Maria Teresa and
Vizcaya, and two torpedo-boat des-
troyers, Furor and Pluton, which
had been held in the harbor of San
tlago de Cuba for six weeks past by
the combined forces of Rear Admiral
Sampson and Commodore Schley, are
today at the bottom of the Carriabean
sea, off the Southern coast of Cuba;
the Spanish admiral is prisoner of
war on the auxiliary gunboat Glouster
u. Pierpont.Morgan's yacht Corsair),
and 1000 to 1900 other Spanish soldi-
ers and sailors, all who escaped the
frightful carnage caused by the shells
of the American warships, are also
held as prisoners of war by the United
States navy.
The American victory is complete
and, according to the best informa-
tion obtainable at the time, the
American vessels are practically un-
touched, and only one man was killed
though the ships were subjected tc
heavy fire of the Spaniard all the
time the battle lasted. Admiral Ger
vera made as gallant dash for liberty
and.preservation Of his ships as has
ever occurred in history of naval war
fare. In the fact of overwhelming
odds, with nothing before him but in
evitable destruction if he remained
any longer in the trap in which the
American fleet had him, and he made
bold dash from the harbor at the
time the Americans least expected
him to do SC, and fighting every inch
of his way, even when his ship wal
ablaze and sinking, he tried to escape
the doom which was written on thu
muzzles of every gun trained upon hi
vessels, The Americans saw him thu
the moment he left and commenced
the work of destruction Immediately
For an hour or two they followed tn,
flying Spaniards to the westward
along the shore lire, sending shot
after shot into their hulls, tearing
great holds in their steel sides anC
covering their decks with the blooC
of the killed and wounded.
At no time did the Spaniards SHOW
any indication that they intended t
do otherwise than to fight to the last
They showed no signs of surrender
even when their ships commenced Il
sink, and the great clouds of smok'
which poured from their sides showec
that they were on fire. But they
turned their heads toward the shore
less than mile away, and ran then
on the beach and rocks, where thei
destruction was soon completed.

ages, If the welfare of the troops or the in

I'm this most important hour Of the ma

vides as follows:
That the librarian Of Congress is hereby
empowered and directed to accept the offer
of Mrs. Gertrude NJ. Hubbard widow OF
the late Gardner Greene Hubbard. conn
municated to him by the following letter,
on the terms and conditions therein stated
except that instead CT naming the gallery
IN the library as therein proposed, the col
lection shall be known and styled as the
Gardner Greene Hubbard collection, it not
being in the opinion of Congress desirable
to call parts of the public buildings after
the names of individual citizens and that
the bust therein named be accepted and
kept in suitable place to be designated
by the joint committee on the library; and
to communicate to Mrs. Hubbard the CRATE
full appreciation of Congress of the public
spirit and munificence manifested by said
gift
The Hubbard collection is said to be the
finest collection of modern engravings IN

BLANCO STILL HAS A WIRE.
Operators at Santfago Connected
HnNana With jamaica.

1t was confidently expected by the War
Department officials that when the opera
tors in Santiago working the English
cable to Jamaica left their station and
took refuge on an English ship, the Span
ish officials in Cuba would be entirely cut
off from commune alton with the home
government. This apparently is not the
case, If a runner which reached Gen. Gree
ly, the chief signal officer of the army, DUR
ing the day is correct. This was to the
effect that before leaving their station in
Santiago the English operators had con-
nected the wire running into that city
fi ON Havana with that leading TO King
ston, Jamaica, in which case direct COM
munication from Havana to the latter
named city may be obtained.
Naturally with such a long circuit and
unfavorable conditions existing this con-
nection may be easily interrupted at any
time, but the fact that the operators re-
sorted to this device creates no little dis
satisfaction and feeling among the War
Department officials, who regard such ac-
ton as unnecessary and uncalled for In
the present circumstances.
