CHARLES DODGE DEAD.
Only Captain of the 2Ath Infantry
Who Escaped Spanish Bullets.


WASHINGTON, July 30.-Adjutant Gen.
eral Corbin was deeply affected to-day on
receiving news of the death at Santiago of
Capt. Charles Dodge. of the Twenty-fourth
Infantry. The captain was lieutenant in the
same company that formed General Cor
bins first command when he became a cap
tain, and he looked upon him almost as a
younger brother. If anything was wanting
to show the extraordinarily high rate of
mortality among the officers of the Amer
lean army engaged in the battles before
Santiago, it is supplied by the statement
at the War Department that with the death
of Captain Dodge the Twenty-fourth Infan-
try lost every captain of the regiment. All
the other captains had been killed in ac-
ton, when Captain Dodge, the sole survivor,
was stricken with yellow fever, which led
to his death yesterday.
The President and Secretary Alger have
not overlooked the sacrifices made by the
officers OF Skaters army, and have deter
mined to do what they can to provide for
their families. "A few vacancies among the
second lieutenants in the regular army still
exist. and these will be filled by appointing
the sons of some of the officers who lost
their lives on the battlefield. The War De-
partment is now taking steps to ascertain
the particulars regarding the families of
these officers.

OLD GLORY OVER GIBARA
EVACUATED BY SPANISH SOLDIERS,
WHO FLED TO HOLGUIN.
Two Small SchOOners Captured, Prize
sells Sent to Key West.

KEY WEST, July 3O.-The Spanish two
masted schooner Gibara, loaded with fire.
wood and charcoal, which was captured by
the Nashville on July q while trying to get
into the port of Gibara, on the north coast
of Cuba, was brought in here this morning
by prize crew.
The Espresso, another schooner of the
same size as the Gibara, and with like
cargo, was taken by the gunboat Nashville
at the same time. Both vessels were lying
in the harbor and made no resistance. On
the contrary, the men on board the two
schooners were eager to be brought to this
country, but Ensign Snow, who took charge
of the Gibara, put the crew of six ashore
and brought away only the captain, Miguel
Castel, his wife and child, and cook. All
the papers aboard both schooners had been
destroyed before the capture, but it is
known both vessels ply between Gibara and
Havana. There were about $50 tons on
board each. The Gibara is in quarantine
here. The Espresso has not yet arrived.
By this time the American flag is probably
flying over Gibara. When the prize sehoon-
er left that place the gunboat Nashville was
preparing to send men ashore to raise the
flag. The Spaniards had evacuated Gibara
several days before and fled to Holguin, and
the town was in possession of five hundred
Cuban infantry and two hundred cav
airy when the Nashville reached there.
Order is being maintained, but there is great
distress among the inhabitants on account
of the scarcity of food
1t is said that General Luque, of the Span
ish army. placed five hundred of his wound
ed soldiers in the hospitals at Gibara and
requested that the United States govern
ment care for them.
Gibafa is small walled town on the north
coast of the province of Santiago de Cuba.
The harbor is shallow and of no great value
for strategic purposes.
