CERVERA LOVES AMERICA.
Admiral Cervera came on deck late
this afternoon and consented to talk
with representatives of the press, who
went out to the st. Louis on a tug.
You ask me- he said, how l like
America, and l answer that l have al
W VS. liked, and 1 may say loved, your
people; but this war has been a duty
with me and the men under me. 1
knew the American fleet clearly out
classed US, but it was a question of
fighting either inside or outside the
harbor. L have many friends in Amer
lea and have only the kindlieSt feelings
Tor them; but every man has a duty
to perform to his country, and all
Spaniards tried to perform that duty
There has been much feeling in Spain,
and 1 want all Spain to know the
truth, that every ship of my squadron
fought until the last, and, when we
could do no more, we surrendered.
Il have much interest to know the
exact situation in Spain. Captain
Goodrich has treated US all as we'll as
anyone could possibly be treated. My
officers have occupied quarters in the
saloon, and we cannot complain
A telegram was taken out to Ad-
miral Cervera at 1890 tonight. Moth
ing is known of the sender or purport
of the telegram.
OFFICERS GO TO ANNAPOLIS.
Washington, July 1O.-Admiral Ger
vera will not remain at Portsmouth,
but as soon as the enlisted men are
landed on Seavey's island in the quar-
tiers prepared for them at short notice
by Captain Crowninshield, he, with
the officers of his squadron, save the
surgeons, who will be left with the
men, will be sent to the naval academy
reservation. Captain Cooper, the SUI
perintendent, has prepared very COM
Portable quarters for the prisoners in
the cadet buildings, and will come to
Washington to consult Secretary Long
as to the exact measure of indulgence
to be shown his charges.
The bringing of Admiral Cervera to
the United States does not signify that
the proposition to parole him has been
finally dismissed. 1t has been simply
postponed for time, though it may be
SurmiSed that the Admiral will be
much more comfortable here until the
feeling of unnatural resentment dis
played against him in Spain has sub
sided.
