GREET LOSS OF OFFICERS
Causes Considerable Comment Among
 Officials of War Department.

Washington, July 5.-Considerable comment has been caused among the officials of the war department by the great loss of American officers in the two days of fighting at Santiago. Off, cial reports thus far received indicate that fifty-eight American officers were either killed or wounded, and the list is only partial Speaking of the matter this evening, Adjutant General Corbin said that a finer lot of officers than was with General Shafter's corps in Cuba never wore shoulder straps. They were brave, aggressive and brilliant. Gen eral Corbin did not forget the enlisted men in his comment, saying that the great majority of Shafter's force was the pick of the regular army, strong, resolute, admirably disciplined and thoroughly enthusiastic and patriotic.
 Shafter's army is laboring at some disadvantage, not only on account of intense heat and the check of a great battle, but also on account of the loss and disability of so many officers. While only one of the general officers General HaWkins-has been wounded. four of them are ill and should be in the hospital. General Wheeler, in com- mand of the cavalry division was very seriously ill, but when the battle began he went to the front and personally directed the operations of his men. General Young and Acting Brigadier General Wood of the Rough Riders are i'll, but it is understood that their con- dition is not serious. The heavy loss is due to the dash and bravery of the officers themselves. Instance after in- stance has been disclosed of officers springing in front of their commands and leading them in brilliant sorties against the enemy. Naturally the Span ish sharpshooters singled out the off, cers as targets.

T. sustained severe bruises about the body and limbs, but no bones were broken. The remainder of the crew sustained no injuries. The R. L. T. was brig of 445 tons register built at Five Islands, N. S., in 1881, and hailed from Luenburg, N. S. Her agents in New York were Messrs. Hutching brothers. The Cheruskia sustained no damage from the colli- sion.

They did so and brought away such persons as the British and American consuls designated. among them Miss Ramsden, daughter of the British con- sul and Mrs. Brooks, wife of one of the firm of Brooks brothers. The pas sengers of the Pallas were landed here about an hour ago. The Cubans | cheered wildly and the women went into tears.

Loss of Life, It Seems Probable, VIII be
 Eight.

Beverly, Mass, July 5.-After most thorough search of the ill-fated steam CT Surf City, which capsized in the harbor in yesterdays squall, Diver Johnson stated this afternoon that there were no more bodies in the wreck Seven bodies were recovered last night and this morning Mrs. Samuel Elmer son of North Beverly succombed to the effects of the accident, but as no missing persons have been reported to the management, it seems probable that the list of those who lost their lives by the laundering of the steamer will be definitely limited to eight.

ANNUAL CRUISE OMITTED.
New York Yacht Club Will Not Hold
 One This Year.

New York, July 5.-J. Pierpont Nor Yacht club, has issued an official notice to the public that the annual cruise of the club will not take place this season. The reasons given for declaring off the cruise are that the comparatively small yachts in commission and the restric- tions upon navigation in force at pres ent will seriously impair the success of the cruise. In conclusion the state ment says: There is another consid- eration which is deemed important The country is engaged in war, thou sands of our citizens are risking their lives in her service including, in the navy, many who are members of this club.'

SURRENDER OF cR1s1oBA1 COLON.
Clever Man@uvre by Commodore SchIcy
 Making Her Escape Impossible.

CIever Manoeuvre by Commodore SchIcy
 Making Her Escape Impossible.
 Copyright 1898, The Associated Press.
 Off Santiago de Cuba, Monday, July 4, p. m., per the Associated Press dis patch boat Cynthia II, via Port Anto- nio, Jamaica, Tuesday morning, July 5, by way of Kingston, Jamaica, July 5, p. m.-After a chase of sixty miles to the westward the Brooklyn, closely followed by the Oregon, overhauled the Cristobal Colon after she ran ashore and had hauled down her flag. Cap- tain Cook of the Brooklyn went on board of her, and the commander of the Spanish cruiser came forward to surrender and was taken on board the New York, which came up an hour af- ter the Brooklyn and Oregon had com pleted the capture of the Crlstobal Colon. The latter was not seriously damaged though she was struck sev- eral times by shots from the Brook 1yn and Oregon.
 During the chase a clever manoeuvre of Comomdore Schley's in heading due west to Cape Clancy, while the Cristo- bal Colon had taken more southerly direction with much greater distance to cover, rendered the Spaniard'S es- cape impossible. There seems to be no doubt that the Cristobal Colon and per- haps the other three Spanish armored cruisers would have escaped had it not been for the prompt action of Com modore Schley. The Brooklyn, the flag ship, alone was in a position to attack the Spanish vessels as they left the harbor From the beginning to the end of the fight the Brooklyn, the Oregon and the Gloucester took the most inl- portant part in the destruction of the enemy. George Henry Ellis, who was killed on board the Brooklyn, had his head blown off by shell. One other man, J. Burns, was injured on board of her. The Brooklyn was struck half a dozen times, but no injury was done to any of the other American ships. The Spanish arnored cruiser Cristobal Colon has listed on her beam end on the rocks and is now practica y im- possible to save her.

YALUfBLE HORSES LOST.
Big Fire i'm St. Louis-Six Stables De-
 stroyed.

St. Louis, July 5.-Fire broke out to- day in the stable of Dr. Berneys at the fair grounds just as the first race was being called and within an hour seven valuable horses and six stables had been consumed and seven other stables badly damaged. Spectators and track men rushed to pr. Berneys' stable and did what they could with the fair grounds hose, but the two streams were intellectual and the wind spread the fire rapidly. The horses were cut loose from all the stables and turned into the field of the track, where a crowd of spectators had collected. The frightened animals stampeded and it was by the merest chance that the crowd was not run down. A general alarm had been turned in and by the time the department arrived, six sta bles had burned. Dr. Berneys lost Equitome, Anonyma and Key del Corea and Clem Creveling lost Abe Fashion and Ferd Owen. Several horses re- cefved injuries in the stampede. Two firemen were injured and conveyed to the hospital. The fire is supposed to have been of cigarette origin. The loss is not estimated.

 Lindsay and White.

Copyright 1898, The Associated Press.1
 Off Santiago de Cuba, July 4, via Port Antonio, Jamaica, July 5, per The Associated Press dispatch boat Gym thla, via Kingston, Jamaica, July 5. noon.-Admiral Cervera held a consul tation with his officers before sailing out of the harbor of Santiago de Cuba. and by small majority the move was agreed upon- The minority said that destruction was sure, as many of the hremen had deserted and the best men in the squadron were worn out. Early on the morning of the sortie careful observations were taken of the sea east and west. Admiral Ger vera decided upon taking the westward course with Manzanillo, Cienfuegos, Or if possible, Havana, the port to be reached. He would have gone east but for the sighting of a large transport squadron off Siboney and the assur- ance that a convoy of vessels was still with the transports. As a matter of fact there is no war vessel larger than a converted yacht, except the New York, that could have obstructed Ad- miral Cervera's escape eastward.
 Naval men here are sure that the Spanish vessels could have disabled or sunk the New York and escaped had the eastward course been chosen. It was thought for time that some of the sailors and officers who swan ashore from the Vizcaya, the Amir ante Oquendo and the Maria Teresa were killed by the insurgents who were seen in the chapparel, near the beach. This could not be verified at this writ ing as no accurate estimate of the loss to the Spanish squadron was obtaina- ble It is claimed that one shell killed one hundred men on the Vizcaya, ralx- ing the vessel fore and aft

Telegram Said to be From Him Re-

 London, July 1.-The Madrid corre- spondent of the Times says: Admiral Cervera's family have a telegram pro- fessedly from him stating that he is a prisoner; but it's authenticity is doubt ed. The following is the only official dispatch the government has received: At dusk last night there reached the Socapia battery seven shipwrecked men from the sunken torpedo boat de- stroyers. They said the Infanta Maria Teresa was steaming in a damaged condition behind Point Buyer, out of sight of the town, and that the AL mirante Oquendo was afire. Subse- quently other sailors arrived. I do not know how many got ashore and con- firmed the above. The enemy attacked our forces during the morning, caus- ing us a loss of seven wounded. Col onel Escario's column has arrived. The dispatch goes on to describe the inter- vention of the foreign consuls at San- tiago and the offers of the Americans to delay bombardment provided the Spaniards refrain from attacking them. It concludes with the words: T have agreed

SPANISH ILLUSIONS.
State Department Takes Occasion to Dis-
 pei Some of Them.

Washington, July 1.-The state de- partment to-day took occasion to dis pei some of the Spanish illusions over It seems that Madrid is not alone in the belief that the fleet made a hand some sortie from Santiago and left the American ships far in the rear. To-day a telegram from United States Minister Lunis at Caracas, said the Spanish residents there were glorifying the Spanish naval victory. The minister was informed briefly that Cervera's s fleet had been destroyed, the admiral made prisoner and that General Shaf- ter had demanded the surrender of the city.
