AN ECHO FROM OLD CASTLE.
Cant. Dtax Noren. Who Commanded the Colon. at Santiago. Agrees
 With Admiral Dewey.

New York, Dec. l3.-Capt. Dias Moren. who commanded the Colon at the battle of Santiago. says that Ad- miral Sampson could take no active part in the fight because his ship was 12 miles to the west of Santiago har- bor when the Spanish squadron ap- peared. while Admiral Sehley, with the Brooklyn flying his pennant, and the Iowa. were close to the mouth of the harbor. cables the Madrid corre- spondent of the Journal and Advertis- CT.
 Both warships," said Capt. Moren, fought the Maria Teresa, which, seven minutes afterward, was afire. My ship, the Colon, appeared then, firing her larboard battery against the Iowa, which, not moving quickly enough. would have been sunk by the Colon's pushing had not the Brooklyn then engaged with the Colon Evidently the credit of the first part of the battle, during which the Maria Teresa and the Nizcaya were placed hors de combat. belongs to Schley, as well as the sec ond part. during which the Colon fought alone against the Brooklyn, the Iowa and the Oregon. She was finally vanqnished by the su- perior artillery of the Iowa and the faster speed of the Oregon. I think Admiral Dewey's praise to Schley is just It does not diminish Admiral Sampson's glory. to whom. as super commander was due the positions of the ships, held in the line of block ade and without whose instructions the result might be seen in another light"

Frank Hostetter, the messenger who was to accompany koelling with the pouch. told the driver to wait at the door while he put on his coat and hat.
 Koeliing opened the inner door and stood in the vestibule lie was there only an instant when the sudden as- sault was made. He was seized and dragged outside The blows were dealt, and he was relieved of his pouch.
 koelling ran back into the annex. He met Hostetter coming out. He re- lated his experience, and the two sought Supt. Gemmer.who has charge of the annex.
