boat dolphin" collided near Key West
Tuesday night. The "Dolphin's" stern
was smashed. The "Newark" was unin-
jured. The dolphin" was sent to Nor

WONDERFUL SURGERY.
AS an evidence OF the advance which
surgery has made, and Of the character of
service rendered to the American army at
the front comes the report of an operation
performed on John Cudahy, of the tenth
cavalry, who was shot through the brain.
The surgeon on the hospital ship
"Olivette" removed the top of Cudahy's
skull, found the bullet embedded in the
wall of the skull on the opposite side from
which it entered and successfully re-
moved it, Cudahy will recover

Though the exact figures OF the Spanish
losses in the engagement at Sevilla prob
ably never will be known, it is known
that they were much heavier THANH The
American losses. Spanish papers which
have been brought inside the American
lines indicate that the Spanish losses
were much larger than supposed.
These newspapers say hat 1000 Spanish
troops were engaged with 10000 Ameri-
cans, and the Spanish losses were 265
killed and wounded.
AS matter OF fact only 1000 Americans
were engaged, but the same rule Of sub
straction cannot be applied to the re-
ported strength Of the enemy. Judging
by past Spanish reports, there is more
reason to believe that both the number
OF men engaged and the losses are under
estimated.
SPANS THIRD SQUADRON.
Spain's third squadron, which it is an
nounced Is now fitting out at Cadiz, is not
formidable. 1t will include the 'Vitoria"
which was built in 1865, and which is
only fit for coasting purposes; the
| "Alphonso KIP. (which will not be ready
for sea for months; the former North
German Lloyd steamer "Havel", which
has received some Armstrong guns; the
| "Numancia", which is now at Barcelona
the "Lepanto'', the best ship OF the squad
ron, now at Cartagena, and the "Almir-
ante Cisneros", which is almost useless at
Ferrol.
ON THE MARCH IN CUBA.
The following pen picture of the march
OF the American troops in Cuba, from
Baiquir to Santiago, is from the New
York Sun:
Cavarymen. dismounted for the first time in
years. and infantrymen from cool Michigan
and Massachusetts, toiled hour after honr along
these SO called roads and paths through the
jungles of cactf, poison vines, and high grass
that cuts like "A razor, in blistering sunlight
that makes the skylines of the distant hills
simmer and waver before the eyes, while from

A SPANISH REPORT.
From Spanish sources comes the re-
