This is according to the law,which pro-
vides payment of s1Oo head for every

these ships are destroyed.
A few of the officers will receive pretty
good fortunes. The law governing tho
distribution of this money is very ex-

cording to his rank, will be paid In due
season.

CERVERA TALKS
OF HIS DEFEAT

Correspondence of Associated Press.)
OFF Santiago de Cuba. July 4.-On the
return of the United States cruiser
Brooklyn to the blockade off Santiago
de Cuba on the evening OF July 3, the
Iowa reported to Commodore Schley
that Admiral Cervera, the COMMANDER
of the Spanish fleet, was on poaru.
The commodore at once went over TO
pay his respects. The Spanish admirai
was much cast down by his defeat, put
preserved a dignified and courteous
demeanor Notwithstanding.
He said he deeply appreciated the
fact that the men of the Brooklyn ulu
not exult by cheering when IL was
learned that he was a prisoner on the
Iowa. He replied, in response TO the
commodore's remark that 1t was the
fortune of war:
"Yes, but I've lost my career now
that I've been defeated
Commodore Schley, however, told him
that such a brave deed as bringing out
his squadron could never be looked
upon otherwise than as a most gallant
feat. upon which Admiral Cervera
threw his arms around the commodore
and said: "Ah, sailors always are gen
tlemen.
He then said he thought his dead
would number probably $50, though he
could not tell definitely.
He spoke of the accuracy and deadli-
ness of the Brooklyn's fire, saying thai
in the early part of the action It's sheils
had traversed the entire length of tho
gun deck. killing and wounding prob
ably so men. On the Vizcaya alone
there were 10 men killed.
Admiral Cervera said he feared the
losses might be greater than he an
| ticipated, for many men were DeioN
| the protective deck, and when the ship'
| were on fire it must have been difficul
| for them to escape. He added that al
his captains had been killed or wound
| ed. but later II was found that the cap
| tain of the Cristobal Colon was saved.
Admiral Cervera also said he had M
doubt but that at least three OF M
ships would have gotten away had J
| not been for the Brooklyn, the Oregon
| and the Texas.

RUSSIA AND
PHILIPPINES

st. Petersburg. July 12-Discussing
the events of the war. between Spain
and the United states. while regarded
as practically over, the Novoe Vremya
observes that the political situation
largely depends upon the attitude OF
Russia. 1t adds. with respect to the
Philippine Islands. the time has ar
rived to clearly state Russia's policy.
Russia has no positive interests In
the Philippine Islands. II they are divi-
ded, the best parts will fail to Germany,
Great Britain and Japan, thereby
strengthening them in the Pacific.
Therefore, il is to Russia's advantages
that the Philippine Islands remain in
the possession OF single power,
whether Spain or the United States.
Russia would prefer 20 see the islands
I'm the possession of Spain or under the
protection of the United States which
would keep out other claimants
BY working in this direction Russia
would not only uphold her own inter-
ests but would serve the cause Of gen.
eral peace"
