THE "SQuADR0N BULLETIN. /.
Describes the Destruction Of Admiral
CerYera's Fleet.

a copy of Squadron Bulletin which
is published every day or so on board
the flagship New York, gives the fol-
lowing account OF the naval fight at
Santiago under date of July 8:
This is a red letter day for the
American navy, as dating the entire
destruction of Admiral Cervera's for
midable fleet, consisting of the In
fanta Maria Teresa, Vizcaya, Cristo-
bal Colon, and the deep sea torpedo
boats Furor and Pluton. The flag
ship had started from her station
about 8 o'clock to go to Siboney,
where the admiral had proposed going
for consultation with Gen. Shafter.
When about mile from the bay the
Spanish fleet was observed coming
out and making westward. The
flagship at once put about to rejoin.
The exit was remarkably sudden aud
the pace sustained by the enemy was
such that the flagship was more of
a spectator than an actual partici
pant, having an opportunity of firing
at only one of the torpedo boat de-

enough to fire on the larger ships,
there was a fine view of the success
siye steps of the victory and an OPP
portunity of forming one in the long
and successful chase after the Cristo-
bal Colon.
ut is, of course, much to be regret
ted that we were not able to save any
thing out OF the general wreck. All
but the Cristobal Colon were total
wrecks early in the action, being
fired by shells, run ashore and blown
up or burned. The Cristobal Colon
was chased about sixty miles until !
p. m. The Oregon, Brooklyn, Texas,
Vixen and New York took part in
the order named, but toward the last
the Brooklyn drew somewhat ahead
and finally brought the Colon TO bay,
when she run ashore and surrendered.
When boarded her bow was in eight
feet and stern was in seventy feet of
water There was a considerable
quantity OF water in her engine room.
Officers and men were sent from the
Oregon to take charge of her, but she
gradually sank, chiefly from all her
seacocks having been opened, which
our people were not able to getat. 1t
is probable that we may be able to
raise her, at least it is to be so hoped. y

ELKINSs WINS.
The People Of Beverly Give up the
County seat Fight.

CUMBERLAND, Md, July Is. (Spe-
cial. 1.-THE fight between the towns
of Elkins and Beverly, in Randolph
county, w. Va, for the possession Of
the county seat is at an end. Beverly
drew out this morning and Elkins
gets it.
County seat troubles in West Vir-
ginia are not infrequent and the
Beyerleyities will probably get used to
it.
That town was formerly the county
seat, but owing to political and other
differences a change was necessitated.
And then the court house, which
stood at Beverly four months ago,
was burnt down.
This precipitated the fight between
the two towns, which has been waged
increasingly for some time. The
Randolph county commissioners will
at once go to work and begin build
ing the new temple of justice.

ANOTHER STORY.
The Fairm0nt team is said to have dis
banded ON account Of the rank treat
ment given UniOntOWn.

The Fairmont team is now thing
of the past They disbanded the
next day after the game with
Uniontown on the Fourth. It was
reported here couple of days ago
by resident of Fairmont that the
disarmament was caused by the
treatment accorded the local team
on the Fourth. There are lots of
good people in Fairmont and some
of them belong to the Fairmont
Athletic club. A number of them
got together that evening after the
game and unanimously decided that
they would withdraw their support
from the club and as they were fur
nishing the financial aid the team
disbanded the next day, although
they had a nice trip arranged
through Western Pennsylvania. 1t
seems very unfortunate for the good
citizens of Fairmont that some of
them were not in charge of the man
agement of the club. Take warn
ing, Fairmont, "the way of the trans
gressor is hard. News Standard.

BEGINS TOMORROW.
Glade Brick Company at Last Will be-
gin to Load Brick What they prom
ised and what they did.

Mayor Glasscock received notice
this morning that the first of the
brick for street paving here would be
loaded on Saturday morning. This
will run the company near to the
time in which they agreed to have
the brick here when they took the
contract. They were bound by that
to have them here in twenty days.
That time expires on Monday. They
promised to have them here in eight
days or at the latest in two weeks
but they were better at promising
than at fulfilling their promises
1t is to be hoped that the restsof
the contractors will more closely live
up to their premises and that ne more
delay than is absolutely necessary
will be encountered.

THE WAR PROGRESS.
A Few of the Things that have
been done in the last
tWenty-four hours.

The surrender Of Toral is
complete twas as given in this
paper yesterday. The de-
tails are now being arranged
and have not been communi-
Gated to Washington. The
terms were those proposed by
US and at first refused by the
Spaniards. A personal confer
ence between Toral and the
American Generals including
Shafter and Miles led to the
surrender.
The Spanish troops will be
sent to Spain. How this is to
be done has not been decid-
ed fully.
A small garrison of Cubans
and immunes will hold the
conquered territory and the
rest of the American army
will be removed to. a higher al
titude to avoid further ravages
of fever.
One third of the men
in a number of the com
mands are down with fever
and a continuation of the
fighting or stay where they
are would lead to great loss
of life due to disease.
Porto Rico is to be taken
next. An expedition of TWEEN
ty-fve thousand men under
General Brooke will be sent
there. Fresh troops will be
sent and these for the most
part will come from Chicka-
manga Brooke is at present.
The West Virginia first regi-
ment will be a part of the ex
petition it is thought.
The City of Puebla and the
City of Peru have been start
ed to the Philippines with
more troops for Dewey.

disclaims any intention Of Of
