z.-During the pursuit OF the Spanish
feet OF Monday, the Brooklyn was
struck half dozen times. but no in
jury was done TO any Of the other
American ships. The Spanish flag was
hauled down from the Infanta Maria
Teresa while the Vizcaya's men We're
swimming ashore at Accerradores. Al
ter the flag had been hauled down,
Cuban soldiers concealed in the bush
fired at the Spaniards, arousing the in

The Cristobal Colon's crew was taken
aboard the Oregon. Several hours at

she fioated and was beginning to sink,
and the New York then rammed her
several times. using tenders, and

This is the reply made by Rear Ad-
miral Sampson 10 Secretary Longs
cablegram, inqUiring if it would be
possible to raise any OF the wrecked
ships and add them to the American
navy. Immediately upon its receipt,
Assistant Allen gave consideration to
the employment OF wrecking companies
to proceed at once TO Santiago de Cuba
and take charge of the work of raising
the ships and of removing from them
all valuable equipment
Washington, July 6.-Secretary Long
is Quite hopeful that several of the
Spanish ships Of the Cervera squadron
can be saved, in part at least, and
possibly as q whole. Assistant SecIe-
tary Allen shares IN this belief, and
thinks that the CristObal Colon can be
got off the rocks as an entirety, and
that the hull, upper works and guns
can be made available. She was the
best armored cruiser in the Spanish
navy. and if she can be fioated and
repaired, viii make a valuable acqui- /
sition to the American navy.

given him by Sampson, but he believed
the latter would yet do justice to the
commodore.
Mr.. Hale expressed great confidence
in the character and ability of both
Admiral Sampson and Commodore
Schley, and said the conduct and
achievements of Schley during the
historic battle had been most admir-
able. He felt assured that the little
agitation concerning the bestOwal of
credit which was now disturbing some
minds would disappear in the full
light of the facts. There was, he said,
glory enough for all in the destruction
of Cervera's fleet, and he had no doubt
it would be properly distributed
Mr.. Allen of Nebraska thought at
least few days delay ought to elapse
before action was taken upon the reso-
luton, and it was referred to the naval
committee

Southern Pacific Earnings Show En-

San Francisco, July 6.-The financial re-
port of the Southern Pacific company for
the last fiscal year shows an increase in
profits of $4.O 900 over the business of
the preceding year. This shows that the
laSt II months were the most prosperous
in the history of the corporation. The
gain in earnings is largely attributed 10
the operation of the Pacific system. In
creases in profits have been made in
nearly every road in the system, though
in some few cases there has been a fall
ing off in travel and consequent losses
to the company.
