CERvERA EMBRACED sCHLEY.
sailors Always Are GentIemen,D He
Suid.

| Correspondence Of the Associated Press)
OFF SANTIAGO DE CUBA, July A.
on the return of the United States cruiser
Brooklyn to the blockade off Santiago de
Cuba on the evening Of July Sd, the Iowa
reported TO Commodore Schley that Ad-
miral Cervera, the commander Of the
Spanish fleet, was on board. The Com
modOre at once went over to pay his re-
spCcts.
The Spanish Admiral was much cast
down by his defeat, but preserved digni-
fed and courteous demeanor, notwith-
standing. He said he deeply appreciated
the fact that the men Of the Brooklyn did
not eXult by cheering when il was learned
that he was a prisoner on the Iowa. He
replied i'm response 20 Commodore Schleys
remark that it was the fortune Of war,
ayes, but I've lost my career now that
I've been defeated"
Commodore Schley however, told him
that such brave deed as bringing out
his squadron could never be looked upon
otherwise than as most gallant feat,
upon which Admiral Cervera threw his
arms around the Commodore and said:
"Ah, sailors always are gentlemen"
SPANISH DEAD $50.
He then said he thought his dead would
number probably 750, though he could not
tell definitely. He spoke Of the accuracy
and deadliness of the Brooklyns fire, say
ing that in the early part OF the action
one Of her shells had traversed the entire
length OF the gun-deck, killing and wound
ing probably eighty men. On the Vizcaya
alone there were 10 men killed.
Then Admiral Cervera said he feared
the losses might be greater than he antici-
pated for many men were below the pro-
tected deck. and when the ships were on
fire IL must have been difficult for them
TO escape. He added that all his captains
had been killed or wounded, but later II
was found that the captain OF the CriSto
bal Colon was saved. Admiral Ceryera
also said that he had no doubt at least
three OF the Spanish ships would have
gotten away had IL not been for the
Brooklyn, Oregon, and Texas.

Century's Duration.

ninety-fourth year Of her age. Mrs.
Lang was the daughter Of Jesse Hart,
and was born in WallingfOrd, Vermont
In 1905. She came with her parents in
1872 to Portage county, Ohio. She mar
ried Reuel Lang in 1923, and settled
in Elyria, where Mr.. Lang bought vii
lage lot for twenty dollars, and built one
Of the first frame houses in the town.
A year later they bought a farm in
Huntington, where they lived about
flfty years. The remainder Of their
lives was spent in Wellington, where
Mr.. Lang died at the age Of ninety-one.
Mrs. Lang was fine representative Of
the pioneer women Of the Western Re-
serve. Her standards and ideals were
those Of New England in the early part
Of this century. She was quiet and
simple in her tastes and strongly dis
approved OF display or Ostentation. She

Tomorrow Evenings Lecture.

The Woman's Christian Temperance
Union has secured lady to address the
citizens Of Wellington on subject which
concerns parents, teachers, young people
and the well-being Of the community, an
element Of the gospel OF good morals.
The address will be free to the public,
and no collection will be taken. This
Is not because it is not deserving Of a
paid admittance. but they having it in
charge cheerfully bear all the expense
that no one shall be debarred from the
privilege Of hearing. This lady, Mrs.
Dora l.. Webb. has been for six years
State Superintendent Of purity work in
the Ohio Woman's Christian Temperance
Union.
As a pastors wife for the last twenty
seven years and previous to her marriage
q teacher Of youth, her experience In,
and knowledge Of society and the laws
which govern or fail to protect, has been
so ample that she is fitted to instruct in
paths not well-beaten or familiar. Her
husband, an aggressive worker in all
moral reforms, has had work in Ports
mouth, Steubenville, Kent, and Cadiz,
and Is in full accord with his wife who
has been his efficient worker. With
great reluctance Mrs. Webb has respond
| cd to the call Of the public to speak out
side her home and church, yet has ao-
c0mplished much in enforcing existing
munuciple laws and improving those Of
the state. When the police director Of
Cleveland introduced registration Of vice
in that city, Mrs. Webb was sent for, and
under her direction meetings were held,
public sentiment aroused, and then she
wrote an ordinance annuling this law,
went to the legislature and saw 1t
through.
The history Of state legislation Of last
winter records faithful work on the part
Of Mrs. Webb and her supporters. The
time was lost at the beginning OF the
session by the Senatorial fight.
The bills which had passed the Senate
and one Of them favdfably reported by
the judiciary committee, and had nc
opposition in the House with many
others "died on the calendar" In the
winter Of 1896, Mrs. Webb was the
leader Of the agitation which caused the
''age Of protection" to be raised to six
teen years by the state legislature. The
mother OF sons, she Is as interested II
