CERVERA ON THE IOWA.
scantily Clad, Bare-headed, But Every
Inch an Admiral.

Capt. Evans on the Iowa gives an in
teresting account in the May Century of
Admiral Cervera's transfer from the
Gloucester to the Iowa:
About noon resumed my blockading
station. and Immediately after received
on board, from Captain Wainwright OF
the Gloucester, Admiral Cervera. his son,
and the commanding officers of the late
torpedo boats Furor and Pluton. All
preparations were made to receive the
admiral with the honors due his rank.
The full marine guard of so men was
pe . AIDED officers mustered ON the starboard
sioe of the quarterback; the officers and
crew of the Vizcaya were arranged on the
port side of the quarterback; and the
crew of the Iowa, just as they came out
of battle, clustered over the turrets and
superstructure. Captain Wainwright
personally accompanied the admiral. The
guard presented arms; the officers un-
covered the bugles rang out their flourish
es; and as the distinguished officer, who
had lost mere in one hour than any other
man has lost in modern times, stepped on
to the quarterback, the crew of the Iowa
broke out into cheers, and for fully a
minute Admiral Cervera stood bowling
his thanks. 1t was the recognition Of
gaIlantry by brave men, and the recipient
of 1t was fully aware of its meaning.
Though he was sranti1y clad, bareheaded,
and without shoes, he was an admiral,
every inch of him. With perfect compos-
ure and a manner of quiet dignity. he re-
oeived the plaudits of his late enemies and
the silent sympathy of his conquered COIN
pauions After the reception was over
gave the admiral seat under small
boat awning aft, and cigar. and for
several hours discussed with him in q
friendly way the incidents of this never
to-be-forgotuen battle.
After receiving the salutations of his
own officers. Admiral Cervera's first
thought seemed to be of the dead and
wounded men of his squadron. AS soon
as the wounded men from the Vizcaya
had been treated by the surgeons, he asked
permission to visit them; and 1t was d
touching sight to note tie reverence with
which those unhappy men greeted him
as he passed through the sick-bay, speak
ing word of encouragement to each.
Everything was done by the .ofhceIs and
crew of the Iowa to make these prisoner
gut SITS as comfortable as possible. They
were clothed and fed, and furnished with
tobacco; in u word, we did what we could
to render their position as bearable as pos
sibls.
The day closed as it had opened, beau
tiful and fair. The. battle of Santiago
had been fought the much dreaded fleet
of Admiral Cervera destroyed, and its
gallant officers and men were either dead
or prisoners, almost without exception.
The man behind the gun had indeed
proved himself giant.

THE RALEIGH PEARL.
Found In an Anteprandial Clam by q
Lucky PHILADELPHIA councilman.

III tU Sbnkih W =
Lucky Fhiindelphia Councilman.
Councilman j. r. G. McAllister of the
First ward, chairman of the Dewey day
celebration, in most singular manner
has become the lucky possessor OF mag
nificent p-arl of such value that the exact
amount has only yet been guessed at by
leading jewellers of this city.
On the evening of Dewey day, while the
officers of the cruiser Raleigh were being
dined at the Hotel Walton, Mr.. McAllis-
ter, in virtue of his office, presided at the
board. Tho first course was clans, OF
which the councilman is passionately fond.
Deity impaling one of the toothsome BIZ
valves upon fork, he lost little time in
transferring it to his mouth. His teeth
closed heavily upon his favorite delicacy,
and the equanimity of the table was the
next moment startled by smothered
ejaculation. All eyes were upon the city
father as, clapping his hand to his lips,
he removed hard, shining object, which,
imbedded in the body of the clam, had
nearly cost him tooth or two.
The luster of the substance he had Bit
ten upon aroused the curiosity of the dis
tinguished company. 1t was recognized
at once as jewel and was passed rapidly
from hand to hand Councilman John
Lang of the Twenty fourth ward, also
committeeman, who is a recognized expert
on precious stones, at once pronounced 1t
to be pearl and one OF great price. Sub
sequent developments have proved it to be
SO.
A happy inspiration seized Captain
Coghlan when the verdict was passed by
Mr. Lang.
"Allow me to christen your find, no
said to MIR. McAr1ister Hereafter let it
bo known as the Raleigh pearl, " and the
Raleigh pearl it has become, which is the
primary reason why patriotic McAllists-
solcmnly affirns that he will never con-
sent to part with it,
In shape the pearl is oval, one-eighth Of
an inch in diameter. At first it was of
peculiar light brown color, but since 1t
has been treated to sun baths and other
arts of the trade this has given way to q
most dazzling whiteness of a peculiarly
pollucid tone. Experts have estimated its
value Mt SO, 600. Lieutenant Commander
Phelps of the Raleigh, who is an ardent
enthusiast on the subject of precious
stones and quite a collector of the same,
admits that the Raleigh pearl is the finest
which has ever come under his observa-
ton. Mr.. McAllister has contracted 10

monds and mcInted as scarfpin.

HIS DEATH
SENTENCE.
John Collins Will Be Sentenced
by Judge HaZen
At Nine O'Clock on Monday
Morning.
WILL MAKE NO FIGHT
Against Going to the Pen
itentiary.
Efforts to Secure His Pardon
Will Soon Begin.
WILL MAKE NO FIGHl

John Collins will receive his sentence
on Monday morning at o'clock. Judge
HaZen announced today that the case
will be closed up at that time which
means that John Collins will receive the
death sentence.
Judge Hazen has withheld the dispo-
sitiOn of the motions filed in the case at
the request of the attorneys and on
Monday the final orders overruling the
motions will be entered and so far as
the official records are concerned the
case will be closed. The attorneys for
John Collins have decided to allow their
client to be taken to the penitentiary
The case will not be taken to the su-
preme court.
The pardoning power will be invoked
on behalf of John Collins after a few
years. His friends rely upon their in
fiuence to have him released before he
has served a long term in the peniten-
tiary.
The sentence of death which will be
passed upon John Collins is a mere for
