cERvERA TO HIS SAILORS.
Admiral Makes Them a Speech ON
Their Departure From Spain.

Madrid. May II, 2 p. mat the moment
of his departure from the Cape Verde Is
lands Admiral Cervera dn command of the
Spanish squadron in West Indian waters)
made the following address TO the crews
of his ships:
after three years of struggle In Cuba,
we were nearing the end of the trouble,
which certainly would have been ended
three months ago but for Americas aid.
The nation, believing she had created by
underhand means a thousand embarrass-
ments, but that nevertheless she would not
be able to attain the object of her ambi-
tion, al last threw off the mask, and, when
the insurrection was on its last legs. COM
menced against us the most unjust war
in the history of the world"
"Spain," the admiral continued, did not
wish for war. Her conduct proved this.
She conceded everything a self-respecting
nation could concede. but the Americans,
whose ambition is insatiable always asked
for something more, and even what be-
longed 10 us-that land, discovered by
Spaniards led by Columbus.
Forward, then, to the war, since we are
forced thereto by the Americans blind
ambition. But let US enter the combat as
did the Spaniards of old. strong in their
right and trustful in God, who will never
abandon just cause and who will aid
our efforts.
II need not enjoin discipline upon you,
for during the past six months you have
been under my command / have only had
cause for congratulations. Nor need call
on you to do your duty conscientiously es-
pecially during the watches, which VIII
often be most trying. Still less need I urge
you to display courage. You are Span
iards, and that is sufficient in war Then
when lead you to battle have confidence
in your chiefs and the nation, whose every
eye IS upon you, will see that Spain to-day,
is the Spain of all time. viva Espana!
Viva ell Rey' Viva la Reina Regente"
(Signed) Admiral Cervera."

NAVAL BATTLE OFF ToRTuGA.
Heavy CannOnading Heard i'm the
Fog on Sunday.

Heavy CannOnading Heard in the
Fog on Sunday.
OFF the Haytien Coast: Copyright, 1885,
by the Associated Press:
Port au Prince, May IA great sensa-
ton was caused here by the arrival to-
day of the military commandant of the
Isle of Tortuga, off the northwest coast
of Hayti, and due north of Port de Paix,
near the entrance to the Windward pas
page, who brought word to the Hayden
war officers OF what is believed to have
been a naval engagement on Sunday.
The commandant reached Port de PaiS
from the Isle of Tortuga in canoe. He
reported to the war Office that throughout
the whole of Sunday very persistent can
onading had been heard east Of the is
land, and from it's duration and intensity
there was a strong presumption that a
vicious action was in progress. thick
fog at the time made it impossible to
distinguish any vessel that might be en-
gagged.

of captain Frederick W. Cole, of Florida.

rank of captain, John Carmichael of vir-

South Carolina-Frank Nichols, Green

The rank of these staff officers shows
that they are to be placed upon the staff
of major general.
The appointment of Hugh Gordon was
somewhat of surprise, as he was not re-
jgarded as certain Of appointment as
Messrs Carlton and Varnedoe. There is
no doubt that the great admiration which
officers of the army have for his father,
Gen. Gordon, had much to do with the
appointment.

ernment on the Matter.
London. May l7.--In the House OF Lords
to-day the Liberal leader, the Earl of
Kimberly, in questioning The government
as to its intention In regard TO Wei-Hai-
Wei referred to the recent speech Of the
secretary of state for the colonies, Joseph
Chamberlain, saying the alliance MENTION
ed by the latter could only have been an
alliance for mutual defense against Rus
sia, and asked II the matter was so far
advanced that we may soon hear of a
great alliance with a European power?"
He explained that be could not con-
ceive of an alliance with the United States.
because 1t would be contrary to the policy
the latter has always pursued, adding that
unless the government had made such
approaches In the direction Of an alliance
that ere long the House may hear or it's
conclusion, nothlpg was more likely to
