steamer Resolute arrived to-day with 5OS
prisoners, including eighteen Of the Off
GERS and crew of the Spanish cruiser
Cristobal Colon. The disposition of the
prisoners has not yes been decided.
The number of Killed and wounded on
the Cristobal Colon was very small. Off
GERS of the American vessels which were
in pursuit of her say that as 1t was
question of only a short time when the
Cristobal Colon should be compelled to
surrender or sun ashore. they ceased fir
ing on her, nd only three of her crew
were killed (all sailors and thirteen were
wounded.
Before running their ship ashore and
hosting the white flag, the Spaniards
opened the Kingston valves on board the
Colon and threw over board the breech
blocks of every gun, including those OF
their Mauser rides.
The captured Spaniards were remarka-
bly, cheerful. The officers say they had
nothing TO eat for twentyfour hours be-
fore the destruction of the fleet and in
order TO get the men to their posts large

effects of drink when put on board the

The Spanish officers say the order to
sail was given by the ministry of marine
at Madrid and they decided to make an
attempt to escape on Saturday night, but
1t was postponed until Sunday morning
for the reason that quarters inspection"
would be held at that time and the Amer
leans would not be at their guns.
None of the Spaniards expected to be
alive at noon on Sunday. believing the de-
structAon Of the fleet to be certain.
Most Of their valua bles were put on the
Cristobal Colon, the fastest boat of the
fleet. aud everything was done to give her
the best opportunity to escape.
The Spanish officers profess great ad-
miration for the American ships, espe-
cially the Brooklyn, the New ana the Ore
gon.
The Spanish prisoners say that If the
Americans had pressed the land forces
much longer, the Spaniards would have
been compelled TO surrender as the troops
were completely worn out.

West India business SAYS the New York
Commercial Since the tumble in marine
rates on American bottoms bound for
Southern waters vessels for these voyages
have been plentiful, but freights compar-
atively low and few.
Whether business was backward in the
islands or merchants here feared to send
their cargoes, the vessel agents said they
did not know, but certain it is that there
are more spot boats than the demand
called for votes
For a long time American shippers have
had no fear of Spanish warships, but, of
course, the destruction of the best craft
in the Spanish navy makes doubly sure,
and gives shippers renewed confidence 1t
is even expected that war risks" will
not be taken out by vessels bound for
West India ports.
Yet the companies engaged in the coast
wise trade, which have not surrendered
their boats to the government, have been
keeping up a continuous service, irrespec-
tive of the war. Business. however. was
not as brisk as it would be, owing TO the
timidfty of travellers and shippers. The
coastwise companies now look for a little
boom on their lines in consequence of the
removal of the Spanish fleet
The only danger to American shipping
at present, in consequence of the war, Is
the possibility of some Of the gunboats in
Cuban harbors slipping out and gaining
the open. But it is not likely that any
of them will try this, especially when they
learn the fate of Cervera and his squad
ron.
