CERVERA's OWN STORY.

From the New York Evening Post.
Admiral Cervera obtained from the
Queen Regent, late in August, permission
to publish the official correspondence re-
lating to the operations of the Spanish
squadron under his command. The result
is a volume of more than 200 pages, a COPY
of which has just reached us. 1t contains
many dispatches which have been pub
lished before, but some which are entirely
new, and in particular several letters
which passed between Admiral Cervera
and the Minister of Marine before the war
broke out, which are not only new, but
of the deepest interest. The whole is now
offered as the apologize of the gallant old
sailor. With a proud humility, at once
dgnifed and pathetic, he lays before his
fellow-countrymen and the world the proof
that, whoever blundered, whoever was the
victim of wild Illusions, he was not; but
that throughout his head was as clear,
his foresight as keen as his heart was
stout.
From the very beginning-goiug back as
far as the letters of 1S96-97-Cervera's con-
slant warning to the Minister of Marine
was DO everything in reason or honor
to satisfy the United States, for II war
breaks out, we shall be overwhelmed. !"
Minister Bermejo was incredulous A good
part of the American navy was in the Pa
a.
March Z. 1885, but what does that mean
except the immediate crushing of our fee
BILE naval forces In the Philippines? All,
reioined the Minister, but you do not take
into the account the superiority of our
HOMOGENEOUS, educated. and disciplined
crews In a combat with the mercenary
levies of the United States" AS to that,
answered Cervera, sadly. you have only %
remember what happened to our ancestors
at Trafalgar But, surely, urged Bermejo,
with your swift ships you can ravage the
Atlantic coast, and speedily bring the enc
my 10 terms. Are you crazy2 was Ger
vera's despairing comment
So the correspondence went ON through
all those weary weeks of waiting for the
war. The men In charge of the heet-Cer-
vera and all his captains-solemnly warned
the government that their campaign must
be defensive or il would necessarily be
disastrous. But at the same time Blanco
was urgently telegraphing from Cuba and
Maoias from Porto Rico, that the squad
ron must be sent, or all would be lost.

of which Mr.. YerAes held $4,000 900.
The q, al D ogr ssed with smoothness un-
til the question of payment arose. Mr..
Yetkes insisted on all cash, but the buy

ested in The elevated railroads of Chica-

termine the distance of the gold toward
the sea, and to determine whether there
is another gravel deposit below this false
bed rock. The work depends altogether
on what is found. They are likely to find
the same deposit in the tundra.
The Boring sea is a shallow sea, and in
consequence the tidal action is greater
than in deeper seas. Because of this there
is greater erosion, or segregation of min
eral from lodges that may be exposed at
the bottom of the sea. This gold is very
much worn. There is no instance where
il has been found adhering to quartz. al
though pieces of the value of so cents have
been found.
Nowhere else in the world has there been
discovered such 4 beach as this. Where
the facilities for saving the gold nave
been at hand the beach mines have out
ranked the richest placers of Gold Hill,
Adams Hill and other celebrated benches
in the Klondike.
Nome owes it's prosperity to the beach.
Before its richness was discovered wages
on the creeks were 81 a day. Afterward
they jumped to $12 day and board.
If the miners were not allowed to go

beach mines assure to every man who
