Oft Santiago, via Kingston, July 11.
The i e turn of Assistant Naval Con
structor Hobson to his ship, the flag
ship New. York, was marked by wild
enthusiasm. When Hobson sat once
more among his messmates, he told the
story of his experience, his marvelous
escape and his imprisonment in Morro
castle. '
"I did not mias the entrance to the
harbor," he said, "as Ensign Powell,
in the launch, supposed. I headed east
until I got straight in. Then came the
firing. It was grand, flashing out from
. one side, then the other, from those
big guns on the hills, the Vizcnya, ly
ing inside the harbor, joining in.
Troops from Santiago had rushed
down when the news of the Mammae's
coming was telegraphed, and soldiers
Sined the foot of the oliffa, firing Wildly
across and killing each other with their
crossfire.
"The Merrimao's steering gear broke
as she got to Estrella point. Only
three of the torpedoes on her side ex
ploded when I touched the button. A
' huge submarine mine caught her full
amidships, hurling water high in the
air and tearing a great rent hi the Mer
rimao's Bide. IleT stern ran op on
Estrella point.
"Chiefly owing'to the work done by
the mine, she began to sink slowly.
At that time she was across the chan
nel, but before she settled the tide
drifted her aronnd.
"We wero all aft, lying on the deck.
Shells and bullets whistled around us.
The six-inch shells from the Vizoaya
came tearing into the Monimao, crash
ing into wood and iron and passing
clear through, while the plunging shots
from the forts broke through her decks.
" 'Not a man must move,' I said,

ish Prisoners.
Before Santiago, via Kingston, July
11. One secret of the determination
of the Spanish soldiery in Santiago to
fight to the death was the belief which
prevailed generally among them that
prisoners taken by the Americans
would be put to the sword.
It is known that after the fall of El
Gauey July 1 the Spanish soldiers who
escaped along the foothills marched
directly into . General Garcia's men,
posted to tho north of Santiago. They
fought desperately, but were shown no
meicv bv the Cubans, and were ma-
cheted to the last man. General Del
rine, who was in command, was bru
tally mutilated. The knowledge of
this massacre found its way into Santi
ago and prompted the Spaniards to die
rather than surrender.
The voluntary surrender of some of
the wounded Spanish officers and men
has dispelled the delusion, and is help
ing to induce General Total to consider
the proposition to capitnlate. ;
After the fall of El Gauey the Cu
bans sacked the town. Information of
the two outrages were promptly sent to
General Shatter, who issued orders
that any Cuban found rifling the bodies
of dead or wounded snaniaras wouw
be promptly dealt with.
To prevent the possibility of Cubans
plundering Santiago when it capita
lates it has been decided to forbid the
Cubans entering the town.

CAPTAIN CLARK'S REPORT.
iff ir " yvssr
The Oregon Responsible for tha Defeat
of Cervera.
Off Guantamimo, via Kingston, July
13. Captain Clark, of the battle-ship
Oregon, which did such remarkable
work at the naval battle that resulted
in the destruction of Admiral Cer
evera's squadron, says in his official re
port of the engagement to Rear-
Admiral Sampson:
The'Spanish fleet turned to the
westward and opened fire, to which
our ships replied vigorously. ,ior a
short time there was an almost contin
ual flight of projectiles over the ship,
but where our line was fairly engaged,
the enemy's fire became defective. As
soon as it was evident that the enemy's
ships were trying to break through and
escape to the westwaid, we went ahead
at full speed, with the determination
of.carrying out to the utmost your in
structions:
'If the enemy tries to escape the
ships you must close and engage him
as soon as possible, and endeavor to
sink his vessels or force them to run
ashore.'
"We Boon passed all of our vessels
except the Brooklyn. At first we used
only the main battery, but when it
was discovered that the enemy's tor
pedo-boats were following the ships,
we used our rapid-fire guns, 83 well as
the six-inch guns, upon them, with
telling effect.
As we ranged up near the stern
most of their ships, she headed for the
beach, evidently on fire. We raked
ber as we passed, rushing on for the
next ahead, using our starboard guns
as thev were brought to bear, and be-
foie we had her fairly abeam, she, too,
was making for the beach. The two
remaining vessels were now some dis
tance ahead, but our speed had in
creased to 16 knots, and the Vizcaya
was soon sent to the shore in flames
"Only the Cristobal Colon was left.
and for a time it seemed as if she
might escape. But when we opened
with our forward turret guns, and the
Brooklyn followed the Colon began to
edge in toward the coast, and her de
struction was assured. As she struck
the beach her flag went down.
"The Brooklyn sent a boat to her,
and when the admiral caught up with
the New York, Texas and Vixen, the
Cristobal Colon was taken possession
of.
"I cannot speak in too high terms of
the bearing and conduct of all on board
this shin. When they found the Ore
eon bad rushed to the front, and was
hurrying to a succession of conflicts
with the enemy's vessels, if thev oo'ild
be hove to and would engage, the en
thusiasm was intense. As these Span
ish vessels were ranch more heavily
armored than the Brooklyn, they might
have concentrated their fire upon and
overpowered her.
"Consequently, I am persuaded that
but tor the officers and men of the Or
egon, who steamed and steered the ship
and fought and supplied her batteries,
the Colon and perhaps the Vizcaya
would have escaped. "

and it was only owing to the splendid
discipline of the men that ail of us
were not killed, as shells sailed over us
and minutes became hours of suspense.
The men's mouths grew parched, bnt
we must lie there until daylight. I told
them.
"Now and again one or the other of

It would have been impossible to get

aid that if I rose it would draw the

"When tie water came up on the
Merrimao's decks the catamaran floated
amid the wreckage, but was still made

the edge and clung on, our beads being

"A Spanish launch came toward the
Merrimac. We agreed to capture ber
and run. Just as she oame close, the
Spaniards saw us, and half a dozen
marines jumped up and pointed their
rifles at our heads.
" 'Is there any offloer in that boat to

Halifax, N. S., July EL In one of
the thick fogs which at this time of
the year hang like a pall ova the
grand banks and Sable island in the
North Atlantic, occurred early Monday
morning one of ' the most appalling
ocean disasters in the annals of trans
Atlantio commerce, and in faot in the
history of steam sailing of the world.
Almost without a moment's warning
the French liner La Bourgogne, with
725 souls on board, was run down by
tie iron sailing ship Cromartyshire,
and sunk within half an hour, carrying
with hei to the ocean's bottom over 500
of ber passengers and crew, white the
rest who were not drowned by the fear
ful suction straggled and fought for life
until 163 were at length rescued by tht
crew of the Cormartyshlre, which ship
survived the collision.
If the words of the passengers who
were dragged aboard the Cromartyshire
and later brought into this port by the
steamer Grecian, are to be believed, the
last few minutes on board the La Bour
gogne witnessed some of the most ter
rible Ecenes of horror and cruelty that
have blotted the history of a civilized
race. Instead of the heroic discipline
which so often has been the one bright
feature of such awful moments, the
crew of the steamer fought like demons
for the few lifeboats and rafts, batter
ing the helpless passengers away from
their only means of salvation, with the
result that the strong overcame the
weak, for the list of 168 eaved contains
the name ot but one woman.
The disaster occurred at 6 o'clock
rn the morning, Monday, about 60
miles south of Sable island, which lies
nearly 100 miles off this port. The
Bouryogne had left New York, bound
for Havre, on the previous Saturday,
while the Cromartyshire was on its
way from Glasgow with a crew of 21
men. ' Although the trans-Atlantic
ships have a definite course, the Bour
gogne was, by all accounts, 40 miles or
more to the north Of these lines. The
fog' was very dense and the Cromarty
shire was sailing along with reduced
canvas and blowing the fog horn.
Suddenly out of the fog rushed a great
steamer, and in a moment there was a
fearful crash, the iron prow of tho ship
plunging into the port side "of the
steamer, just under the bridge. Tbo
shock was terrific, and tore a tremen
dons hole in the steamer, while tlx
entire bow of the ship was demolished.
Half an hour after the collision the
misty curtain went up, giving a clear
view for miles, and then it was that
those on the Cromartyshire realized the
fearful struggle for life on board the
Bourgogne, the collision having come
so suddenly and at such a time in the
morning that few besides her crew were
on deck, but the shock roused nearly
everyone, and within a low minutes
the docks were crowded. .
At first it seemed as if there was
some attempt at disoipline. A few of
the boats were swung off and some of
the passengers allowed to get into them,
but as the steamer began to tremble
and list to port, the officers loBt control
of the crew, and a panic ensued.
Passengers and new fought for the
boats and life rafts, the strong battered
down the weak, the women and chil
dren being pushed far away from any
hope ot rescue. Fists, oars and even
knives were used by some of tha demons
to keep their places. .
The offioers seem to have been pow
erless over their men, and only four
weie saved. The fight for life on the
decks of the steamer did not last long.
for in a little more than a half hour she
gave a long lurch to port ana went
down. . -
As the ship sank beneath the surface,
the vortex of the water tucked down
everything on the eufaoe within a cer
tain radius. When the suction ceased.
those still alive saw about 200 bodies
come out of the water with a rush, as
if the sea were giving up the dead,
after having swallowed the ship.
But the struggle for life still contin
ued after the ship went down. Hun
dreds still floated about grasping tor
rafts, boats and wreckage, in frantic
endeavors to keep above water. Even
then many of those in the boats, If the
stories told are to be believed, showed
their brutality by beating off those who
attempted to climb aboard.
By this time the small boats of the
Cromartyshire bad come up, and the
work of rescue began. The crew of the
ship saved everyone wlto kept afloat
But one woman was rescued.
Commodore Watson Has Been Ordared
to Start at Once.
Washington, July 9. The presideni
cnlled a council ot war to meet at the
White House, the purpose being to re
view the situation and learn exactly
what the present conditions are and
what changes, if any, should be made
in the plans for the conduct of the
war. According to one of the members
present, it was decided to abide by the
plans already laid, at least as to the
general conduct of the campaign.
Confirmation seemed to have been
given to this statement later in the
day, when, after a conference with the
members of the war board, Secretary
Long announoed to the waiting news
paper men that he had ordered Admiral
Sampson to detach from his own com
mand immediately the vessels to be
embiaced in Commodore Watson's
Eastern squadron and to direct the
commodore to proceed on his mission.
The new Eastern squadron will con
sist of the battleships Iowa and Ore
gon, the proteoted cruiser Newark and
the auxilt&iy cruisers (carrying Bide
armor) Dixie, Yankee and Yosemite;
the colliers Avernda, Cassius, Caesar,
Leonidas and Justin, and the supply-
boat Delmonico.
The lowa, Oregon and Newark are
all in the south with Sampson; so is
the Yosemite. The Dixie is at New
port ami the Yankee at Tompkinsville,
The colliers ate at Hampton Roads
with the Delmonico.
The ships are to sail aB soon as they
can coal and supply. It will not be
required, In the case of the southeast
ern vessels, to come north, which
would mean the loss of several c
but they will start directly from the
points where they are now located.
The older provides that each ship
shall make her way aoross the Atlan
tic to a marine rendezvous, which will
be designated in sealed orders to pre
vent its exposure to the slightest possi
ble danger from the enemy, and the
most that is known is that it will be
at some point off the Spanish coast. It
probably will not be long after that
before the American squadron will be
in full pursuit of Camara with his
remnant of the Spanish navy. Mean
while, the gathering of the American
fleet off the Spanish ports is expected
to have a sobering effect opon the in
flamed people.

which vessel bad a searchlight on the
channel, coming oat of the harbor of
Santiago.' The Massachusetts and
Texas opened fire, and the Spanish
vessel was sunk opposite Estrella cove.
I am inclined it was the intention to
sink her in the channel and thus block

was defeated by the fire of the ships,
as she lies on the edge ot the shore."

"SHAFTER."
This week's information in regard to
the evidenoe of yield of winter wheat
are confirmatory of the previous indica
tions of disappointing results, although)
no special new developments have been
added. The spring wheat crop in thai
Northwest is not particularly changed
in general promise in comparison witlt
the situation a week ago. There ap
pears to be some tendency in the winter
wheat regions, where serious disap
pointment in yield have arisen, to
take a too gloomy view of conditions.
The fact is the crop never justified the
extravagant estimates which were freely
promulgated a few weeks ago.
In the Chicago wheat market the sit
uation of prices for new crop deliveries
does not vary much in comparison
with a week ago. The reoent embar
rassment to the trade from conditions
incident to manipulation are olearimt
away, the new crop will De in urgent
demand, and sellers apparently will ba
tardy in offering on the basis ot current
values, so theie is increasing ground for
the belief that chances for a strength
ening tendency of values as a prevailing
condition in the early part of the crop
year, whatever may happen later.
