The crew cheered vociferously. CerYera looked every inch an admiral, even if he had no. hat. He submitted to the fortunes of war with a grace that proclaimed him thorough bred"
 Captain Evans is intensely proud of his ship and her men. The Iowa fired thirty eight 12-inch thrty-eight S-inch, thirty seven 4-inch, 1,060 six pounders and 120 one pounder shots.
 The officers of the yizeaya say they simply could not hold their crews at the guns on account of the rapid fire poured upon them. Fragments of bodies fioated along the gun deck. Every instant the crack of exploding shells told of new havoc. One of the 12-inch shells from the Iowa exploded a torpedo in the Vizeaya's bow, blowing twenty-one men against the deck above and dropping them dead and man. gled into the fire which at. once started below.
 The torpedo boat Ericsson was sent by the flagship of the squadron to help the Iowa in the rescue of the Vizcaya's crew. Her men saw terrible sight.
 The flames leaping out from the huge shot holes in the Vizcaya licked up the decks, sizzling the flesh of the wounded, who were lying there shrieking for help.
 Corporal Smith, of the Iowa, fired 135 aimed shots in fifty minutes from a four inch gun. Two shells struck within ten feet of Smith and started a small fire, but the corporal went on pumping shots into the enemy, only stopping to say: "They've got it in for this gun.' From two six pounders 40 shells were fired in fifty min- utes.
 When one of the 12-inch guns was fired the concussion struck two men of the smaller gun crews ten feet from their guns and threw them to the deck as deaf as posts. Back they went again, however, and were blown away and had to be finally dragged from their stations. Such bravery and such dogged determination under the heavy fire was wonderful.
 During his stay on the Iowa Admiral Cervera endeared himself to all After Blancos order was issued he wanted to come out on the night of July 2, but Gen. eral Linares said: "Wait until tomorrow. You will catch them at divine service then" The Spaniards say that no torpedo boats ever came out to attack Sampson fleet, the Pluton and Furor keeping guard every night inside the harbor
 The Indiana was hit only twice. The Oregon was hit three times. The Iowa was struck nine times.

 The boats manned by the crew of the La Bourgogne and the English ship circled around about where the ship had sunk, picking up survivors.
 The French consul said that tha sailors swore that the compartment doors were . closed.
 The consul said that he made the inyes- tigation carefully and the stories of the men agree and were told franklyl The sailors said that the life preservers were furnishd by the crew to the passengers, but they were in a complete state of panic and threw them away in many instances. The consul inquired as to the fighting among the crew or passengers. All the stories of the wrecked men agreed that neither the crew nor passengers did any fighting excepting the Austrians and the Italians. Most of this was done by the Austrians in the single boat.
 Among the callers at the office of the Compagnie Generale Trans-Atlantique to- day was Brother Romaine, a survivor. He said his own experience would not bear out the criticisms of La Bourgogne's crew and said that the officers of the ship were in their places doing everything they could to restrain the panic among the passen- gers. sailor came to him and asked him if he could swim. He told him that he could.
 The ship was just about to sink and the sailor took Brother Romaine in his arms and threw him as far as he could away from the ship. He managed to swim away fast enough to avoid being caught in the whirlpool caused by the ship, and and was rescued on the raft.

 UNDERWOOD Returns From Washington Speaks of Senator Morgan and Representatives.

Representative Oscar W. Underwood re- turned from Washington yesterday and was in attendance upon the meeting of the state democratic committee.
 While MT. Underwood may have oppos1- ton for renomination for congress, it will probably amount to but very little,
 In speaking about matters in Washington, MT. Underwood said that he did not think Senator Morgan would return to Alabama immediately, as 1t was underst tood in off, cial circles in Washington that the senior senator from Alabama would be one of the commissioners to establish a form of government for the Hawaiian islands, which would probably necessitate a visit to Hawaii in the near future.
 When asked. if Alabama would get an- army, MT. Underwood said that both the president and Adjutant-General Corbin had been very much impressed with General Louis V. Clark on his recent visit to Wash ington. The president has, however, ex- pressed the opinion that In making future brigadier-generals he would appoint them from colonels already in the service. MT. Underwood said tbat if General Clark would enter into the army in command of regiment he would probably soon be pro- noted to a brigadier-g -generalship.
 MT. Underwood met the political leaders from all over his congressional district yes terday and was very much pleased with the reports they made of the condition in each county.
