WE BURY THEIR DEAD.

Attention has been given to the
burial of the dead of the enemy, and
over 100 bodies taken from the ships
or washed ashore have been inferred
upon the beach, by Rear Admiral
Simpsons orders.
Those which now remain are either
almost totally consumed by fire,
charred beyond recognition or lie in
the depths of the sea. These form
the food of the buzzards who keep
constant vigil about the wrecks. The
buried remains lie in a confused
mass, unnumbered and unnamed, in
a huge pit dug in the sandy beach
where the vessels went ashore. A
rude wooden cross from the wreck
age alone marks the grave, the grave
over which Spain may we'll mourn.

THE NIZCAYA.

On beyond lies the Vizcaya, mass
of ruins, and II miles away from
Santiago the Cristobal Colon lies
helpless on her sides, with her
smokestack under water.
The Infanta Maria Teresa and the
Almirante Oquendo stand upright,
stuck fast on the rocky shoals. All
that is left of them is their outer
hulls, the heavy armor defying total
annihilation. Inside of them the
work of destruction is complete.
Their boilers, engines, bunkers and
magazines have been blown into un-
recognizable masses of twisted, melted
iron. Exploded shells, burned rifles
and revolvers, pieces Of yellow brass
work and gold and silver coin, melted
by the intense heat, are strewn all
over the remains of the once proud
srmored cruisers, whose protective
decks only stand in places.
THE HORROR OF 1T.
But the most ghastly, horrible
sight in those silent steel cofins are
the mangled, SCARED and cbarred
bodies of hundreds of brave sailors,
sacrificed for their country. Buz-
yards are feeding off the dead and
others are lowering over the decks.
GRUESoME INDEED.
On the beach other focks of vul-
lures sit in waiting for the sea to
give up its dead. Every tide adds
to the tale of horror, washing up
such objects, for instance, sleeve
enclosing wasted arm, other por-
tions Of human bodies, gnawed by
sharks and countless relics of the
battle.

ing-Mee!iug with Success.

A vigorous campaign is just now be-
ing organized and pushed for the secur-
ing of the funds with which to erect the
new building for the Young Mems
Christian association. Representatives
from the trustees and board of drec-
tors are calling upon the business men
and other prospective large givers and
good progress is being made.
1t is expected that a considerable
portion of the total amount needed
will LIE secured in smaller subsCrip-

business houses and manufacturing
concerns. This part of the canvass is
being looked after by a committee, of
which ID. B. AthertOn is chairman, and
which consists Of about fifty men, each
man being responsible for the en-
ployes of one or more establishments,
appointing subcommittee to CO.
operate with him wherever necessary.
The first work in this direction was
done yesterday morning. when in less
than an hour nearly seven hundred
dollars was raised through seven sub
scriptiOns from bank clerks. Every
