ing of many of their men.
 The Spanish ships had now reached a point about seven miles west of Morro and mile or two beyond the place where the Furor was burning and the Fulton broken in two against the cliff. The flagship and the Oquendo were the first to show signals of distress. Two thirteen-inch shells from one of the battleships had struck the Maria Tere- sa at the water line, tearing great holes in her side and causing her to i'll rap idly The Oquendo suffered about the same fate and both ships headed for a small cove and went aground two hun dred yards from the shore, flames shooting from them in every direction.
 The officers and crew must have been aware of the fate which seemed to be before them, but 1t was not until the ships were on fire and enveloped in flames and smoke that the men ceased firing.
 The Gloucester, after sending boat ashore to the Fulton, steamed along the coast to where the armored cruisers were stranded and went to their assist ance. There was danger from the mag azines and many of those on board jumped into the water and swam to the shore, though number were un- able to reach the small strip of sandy beach in the cove and were thrown against the rocks and killed or drown ed. Many of the wounded were low cred into the ships own boats and talk en ashore, but this task was most diff ficult one.
 The Gloucester had' all her boats out and one seaman swam through the surf with a line from the Maria Teresa, making it fast to tree on the shore. By this means many on the flagship. including Admiral Cervera, lowered themselves into the Gloucesters boats. The wounded were taken to the Gloucester as rapidly as possi- ble and the lower decks of the yacht was soon covered with Spanish sailors, mangled in limb and body by the bursting of shells. The Glouces- ter's crew gave the men every atten- tion possible. The shore was soon lin- ed with those who had escaped from the Infanta Maria Teresa and the Almirante Oquendo. There were still some men on both vessels when the fire commenced to reach the magazines and the boxes of ammunition lying on the decks. A dozen or more explosions followed

was the Cristobal Colon. But half a dozen curls of smoke far down on the western horizon showed the fate that was awaiting her. The Cristobal Colon was the fastest of the Spanish ships and she soon obtained q lead over the others after leaving the harbor and es- capped the effect of the shots which de- stroyed the other vessels. She steamed away at great speed with the Oregon, New York, Brooklyn and several other ships in pursuit, all of them firing at her constantly and receiving fire from her aft guns. There seemed no possibility whatever for her escape, and while her fate is not definitely known at this hour, it can, be readily imagined from the words of Captain Robley D. Evans of the Iowa, who re- turned from the westward with $40 prisoners from the Vizcaya just as the Associated Press dispatch boat Wanda was leaving the Spanish flagship In answer to an inquiry he shouted: 1T left the Cristobal Colon far to the westward and the Oregon was giving her heii. She has undoubtedly gone down with the others and we will have a Fourth of July celebration in San- tiago tomorrow" Captain Evans, who had been in the thick of the en- sagement up to the time he took the Nizcayas officers, and crew. from the shore, said that to the best of his knowledge not one American ship had been struck.
 The Losses.
 The torpedo boat Ericsson, which al- so returned from the westward at about the same time, made a similar report, saying it was believed no man was injured on the American ships, though another report had it that one American was killed on board the Brooklyn, which could not be verified. There is no means of telling now what the Spanish loss was, but it is believed to have been very heavy, as the prison CTS in custody report their decks strewn with dead and wounded in great numbers and besides there is a state- ment that many bodies could be seen fastened to pieces of wreckage. floating in the sea after the fight was over, A large number of the Spanish wounded were removed to the American ships.
 Entirely Unexpected.
 There can be no doubt that Admiral Cervera's plan to escape from Santiago harbor was entirely unexpected by Ad- miral Sampson, and the best evidence of this is the fact that when the Span- ish vessels were seen coming out of the harbor the flagship New York was seven miles away steaming to the east ward toward Juragua. the military base. nine miles east of Moro.
 But she immediately put about and followed the other vessels in the race to the westward and overlook them in time to join in the chase for the Cris- tobal Colon after the Spanish vessels had been destroyed by the Brooklyn. Oregon, Iowa, Massachusetts, Indiana,

Dry Goods

New York, September 21.-There was con- tinued activity in the dry goods market to- day. The quota of buyers was very small and their operations were confined within narrow limits. The report from the south that yellow fever has broken out tempor- aritly stopped heavy trading in these quar- ters. Staple cottons show little improve ment or change in any department. Brown goods are firm in all lines. Export goods are the subject of good general inquiry. iae Chinese trade is not so active as last week, but after the recent heavy exports great results are not expected for some time. Print cloths show a weaker market. Odd goods have fallen off in quotations perceQtibly. Extras have been sold outside the province, and Fall River markets are in considerable quantities at cents.

This had the CT feet of causing further covering by the short interst here and prices advanced over 1ac in the early trading. Cash wheat m the northern markets continues strong, at a higher figure with the millers good puy- CTS. The strength continued until liberal receipts, 1125 cars, were announced when some local profit taking caused a slight re- action. Exports are running fairly large and upon any curtailment of movement Tn the northwest prices will further harden We are still bullish for wheat for moderate advances,

 Birmingham, September N.-The course of today,s market has been a peculiar one London sent lower prices and the local crowd were all bearish, but after first sales good support was given to the market ana the three leading stocks that the pears nave made a speciality of raiding were the stronger upon what is supposed to De m side buying, viz: Sugar, Brooklyn haplu, and Manhattan, which all came in for good advances. Money eased off to per cent, which also gave stimulus to the market, The range of advances were from F to , per cent, with closing prices the best or the day. It's believed that money will be easier from now on and the market will snow good responses, but the atmosphere IS hot clear in many respects politically both al home and abroad We are only conserva- tivelyl bullish at present prices.

By Leased Wire to T. G. Hewlett. Agent
 Birmingham September 2l.--Liverpool cables were lower, which affected prices here While the local feeling is bearish conservative houses are advising scalp pur- chascs around 5Ac for January. We un- derstand there are a great many corn houses who now have orders 10 points below the market. Whether this will have the eff feet of begging the downward movement and temporarily bringing about advance is hard to say. Cotton is below the price of production and looks as if the percentage would be upon the buying side.

 New York, September 21.-Speculation in cotton was quite tame. It was purely local market with a considerable portion of the business done, the evening up of old ventures. The market opened steady with the near months 1@3 points lower and the distant months 1q2 points higher. After reaching a common decline of 1@2 points immediately after the call, the mar ket ruled quiet and varied but little. Lfv- erpool cables about steady. Weather re- ports were about stand off. Almost per- feet conditions in the eastern and western portions of the Belt were offset by the fact that a severe wind and rain storm had swept over an extensive area In the Gen. tral portion of the Belt and private dis patches claimed considerable damage had been done to the crop as a result. Port and interior receipts were only moderate and considerably under the movement of even date last year. Short covered in a and tomorrow in the Atlantic states where sunshine is needed.
