Madrid, July 6.-The enthusiasm

cervera's Official Report to BIancO

Washington, July THE War de-
partment has received the report Of
Admiral Cervera to General Blanco on
the disastrous naval fight to the Span
ish cause, off Santiago. 1t is as follows:
To the General in Chief, Havana:
In compliance with your orders went
out yesterday from Santiago de Cuba
with all the squadron, and after an un-
eQualled combat against forces more
than triple mine, had all my squadron
destroyed by fire, Teresa, OQuendo and
Vizcaya beached and Colon fleeing. l
accordingly informed the Americans and
went ashore and gave myself up. The
torpedo chasers foundered.
/ do not know how many people were
lost, but 1t will surely reach 600 dead
and many wounded. Although not in
such great numbers, the living are pris-

Schlev Handled Ceryera.

A dispatch from Santiago says: There
seems to be no doubt that the Cristobal
Colon, and perhaps the other three
Spanish armored cruisers, would have
escaped had it not been for the prompt
action of Commodore Schley. The
Brooklyn, his flagship, alone was in a
position to attack the Spanish vessels as
they left the harbor, and the commodore
steamed directly toward them and en-
gagged the four cruisers, inflicting great
damage upon them. The Oregon was
the first to join the Brooklyn and after
ward the Iowa, Indiana, Texas and
Vixen closed around the Spaniards, all
pouring in deadly fire, but from the
beginning to the end of the fight the
Brooklyn, Oregon and Gloucester took
the most important part in the destruc-
tion of the enemy.

The President to the American People


Washington, July 6.--President Nc
Kinley, at 11:40 tonight, issued the fol-
lowing proclamation to the American
people:
"To the People Of the United States of
America:
''At this time when to the yet fresh
remembrance Of the unprecedented sue
cess which attended the operations Of
the United States feet in the bay of
Manila on the first day of May last are
added the tidlngs Of the no less glorious
achievements OF the naval and military
arms Of our beloved country at Santiago
dc Cuba, 1t Is fitting that we should
pause, and, staying the feeling Of ex-
ultation that too naturally attends great
deeds wrought by our countrymen in our
country's cause, should reverently bow
before the throne of divine grace and
give devout praise to God, who holdeth
the nations In the hollow of his hands
and worketh upon them the marvels Of
his high will and who has thus far
vonchsafed to US the light OF his face
and led our brave soldiers and seamen

II therefore ask the people OF the
United States, when next assembling
for divine worship in their respective
places of meeting to offer thanksgiving
to Almighty God, who, In his inscrutible
ways, now leading our hosts upon the
water to unscathed triumph, now guid-
ing them in a strange land through the

PRISONERS IN GOOD CONDITION.

Associated Press dispatches dated Ju-
ly 6, from Juragua, say that the Span
ish authorities consented this morning
to exchange Hobson and his men and a
truce was established for the purpose.
The place selected for the exchange was
under a tree between the American and
Spanish lines, two-thirds Of a mile be-
yond the intrenchments occupied by
Colonel Woods rough riders near Cen
eral Wheelers headquarters and In the
center Of the American line. The Amer
lean prisoners left the Reina Mercedes
hospital on the outskirts of Santiago do
Cuba, where they had been confined.
AT 2:45 p. M, in charge Of Major Irles,
a Spanish staff officer who speaks Eng
llsh perfectly, the prisoners were con-
Quoted to the meeting place on foot but
were not blindfolded. Col. John Jacob
Astor and Lieutenant Miloy, accompa-
MED by Interpreter MaWet, were In
charge Of the Spanish prisoners. These
consisted Of Lieut.. Amelio-VOlez and
Aurelius, a German belonging to the
Twenty-ninth regular infantry, who
were captured at El Caney on Friday
last, and Lieutenant Adolph Aries, Of
the First provisional regiment Of Bar
celona, one of the most arlstocratic mil
itary organizations of the Spanish army,
and fourteen non-cOmmissioned officers
and privates.
Lieutenant Aries and number Of the
men were wounded In the fight at FL
Caney The Spanish prisoners were
taken through the American lines,
mounted and blindfolded. The meeting
between Colonel AstOr and Major Irles
was extremely courteous but very for
NAL, and no attempt was made by either
OF them to discuss anything but the
matter in hand.
Major Irles was given his choice Of
three Spanish lleutenants In exchange
for Hobson, and was also informed that
he could have all of the fourteen men In
exchange for the American sailors.
The Spanish officer selected Lieuten-
ant Aries, and the other two Spanish
officers were conducted back to Juragua.
Just as everything was finished and
the two parties were separating, Irles
turned and said courteously enough but
In a tone which indicated considerable
defiance and gave his hearers the Inn
preston that he desired hostilities to
be renewed at once: "Our understand
ing is, gentlemen that this truce comes
to an end at once"
Colonel Astor bowed to the Spanish
officer, without making a reply, and
then started back slowly to the Ameri-
can lines with HObson and his compan-
ions following.
The meeting Of the two parties and
the exchange Of prisoners had taken
place in full view Of both the American
and Spanish soldiers who were in
trenched near the meeting place and the
keenest interest was taken in the epl-
sode.

oners to the Americans. The conduct
Of the crew rose to height that won the
most enthusiastic plaudits Of the enemy.
The commander Of the Vizcaya surren-
dered his vessel. His crew are very
grateful for the noble generosity with
which they are treated. Among the dead
is Villamil and l believe Lasaga and
among the wounded Concas and Eulate
We have lost all and are necessarily de-
pressed.

plenty of recruits will be obtained with
little difficulty.
Railroad Commissioner Campbell,
who knows a soldier when he sees him,
says that the colored recruits are learn
ing the drill more rapidly than the
whites did.
General Kent's division was so close
to the hospital and barracks at Santi-
ago July that with the aid Of a glass
Hobson could be seen looking from a
window at our troops.
The original report that Senior du
Bose, the head Of the Spanish spies To-
Gated at Montreal, was on the Inflated
La Bourgoyne is now denied. 1t was
another of the same name.
Reports from Camp Alger indicate
that the boys in the Twentieth Kansas
are getting into splendid condition. The
sick list is much smaller since the ef-
feCts of vaccination have worn off.
Private Burton Marshall, of the Twen-
tieth Kansas, a cousin of Colonel Fun
ston, has received notice that strong
flow of natural gas has been discovered
on piece Of land which he owns.
The boys Of the Twentieth Kansas
were sorely disappointed that they
should be marching in San Francisco
Fourth Of July parade instead Of sailing
to Manila. They are all anxious to go.
Cervera and other Spanish officers
who are prisoners were permitted to ca
BILE their relatives in Spain that they
were safe. Care was taken that no in
formation which could be used to ad-
vantage was given.
Major Young has decided that he will
not accept the lieutenant colOnelcy Of
the Kansas colored volunteers. His
present command is largely personal
following, which he feels that he cannot
leave, in justice to the boys.
General Augusti shakes hands with
himself in a report to Madrid because
his family came into Manila bay in
boat and reached the city without mo-
lestation. He don't take into consid-
Grafton the fact that Dewey is not fight
ing women and children.
About 400 Spanish prisoners were con-
fined on the Harvard. About fifty Sc
cured guns in some way, started a mu-
tiny and endeavOred to escape. They
were promptly uTeu Oh ny Jn6 SudEuS,
who killed six and wounded fifteen. This
ended the trouble. No Americans were
hurt.
Three Kansas soldiers went to San
Francisco saloon soon after pay day
and were forcibly detained with the
hope that they would spend all OF their
money there. Colonel Funston heard Of
the affair and sent a provost guard Of
eight men to get them and to do so even
il it was necessary to batter the place
down.
The sort of fight which the Glouces-
ter put up under command Of Lieutenant
Wainwright indicates that he meant
business. He was an officer Of the
Maine when the Spaniards blew it up.
In the fight against Cervera he made
wonderful record. At one time his ves-
sel, which is comparatively small, was
being fred on by one Of the big cruisers,
two torpedo boat destroyers and the
batteries at MORO castle. His work was
well done.
