Nothing could speak more impres sively of the type of men who arc fight ing our battles- on land and sea than the scenes depicted in the defeat of Admiral Cervera. They furnish an other confirmation of the saying that "the br.avest are the tenderest." The vanquished Spaniards that day before Santiago, naked, wounded and dying in the wreckage of their burning ai:d battered ship:., found our men no less prompt ar.d ready in every gentle courtesy and kindly ministry, when the time ar.d the opportunity came for such action, than they had been in giving them battle when that stern duty had been theirs. Nothing more chivalrous is conceivable-than the act of Capt. Evans in re fu?innr to receive the proffered sword of Capt. Eulate, of the Yizeaya. when that officer stepped on board the Iowa, wounded and a prisoner. The Span iard'!; cup of humiliation was r.lrcntly full to overflowing, ar.d Capt. Evans was rot ths man to needlessly add an other drop. And so, the account runs, "he waved nside the sword with a friendly gesture and grasped the hand of the Spaniard and welcomed his brother officer to the hospitality of the ship. it is not surprising ina; iapt. Eiilate, brave man that he is. was deep ly touched by this magnanimous ac tion, and responded to it by asking to meet the Iowa's officers, to each of whom, he gi.ve a word of gratitude be fore he was carried below. After wards Capt. Eulate told Admiral Cer vera that it was the proudest moment of his life when the gallant American commander allowed him to retain his treasured blade. Another striking scene was enacted on the deck of the Iowa when Admiral Cervera came on board after being rescued in the surf by a boat from Hie Gloucester. The reception g-ivnn to the veteran Spariish warrior com hardly have bten heartier had he been one of our victorious leaders instead of a captive foe. The full marine guard was paraded, the bugles flourished r. salute, ad nary hands were extended in cordial greeting. The conduct and bearing of Cervera throughout all the sad and trying scenes since his downfall have been in perfect keeping with his chivalrous action in sending prompt assurance to our fleet of the safety of Lieut. Hob son and his comrades, after the sink ing of the Jferrimac. Re has borne himself like a true soldier and an hon orable gentleman being appreciative and quickly responsive to every act of kindness on the part of those around him. He is said to have been specially affected by tht humanity and zeal dis played by our surgeons toward his wounded, and, in token of his appre- xcia-.ion, ne gave to one ot tnem, Dr. PCrandall, his autosrranh. savintr simnlv ihat he had no other souvenir to offer, laving lost "all but his honor." He showed the same appreciative sense when he thanked Lieutenant Commander Wainwright and Lieut. Huse, of the Gloucester, for the man ner in which they had stood by the Maria Teresa, whose heated guns made ajfearf ul danger zone, and whose mag--atzine threatened to dash the life from everyone near by. Cervera begged Lieut. Huse to shove off from the flaming vessel, but that officer replied : ' "Not until we have taken all the wounded from the decks." It is not strange that Cervera's men were moved to tears when they were finally separated from their old commander at Portsmouth. Another solemn and impressive scene was that on board the Texas just after the battle, when Capt. Philip called upon his officers and men to uncover their heads and offer up "silent thanlts to the Almighty," who had granted them the victory. In the same spirit were his words when he asked his men to refrain from cheering, because, he said, "men are dying all around us." IhiE was the spirit, too, that nnimr.ted all our gallant marines when. cr the fight h-.g ceas-ed and victory had been achieved, they put forth every effort to rescue the wounded on the en emy's shi:)s and those struggling in the waves. Ot her? were saved from a cruel fate at the hands of the Culv.r.s who lined the shore. The wounded were taken on board our ships and given every attention possible. The naked were clothed and the hungry fed. Leslie's Weekly. FOR SALE. Ranch at the mouth of John Dav good for grain, cattle or sheep. E. R. Wingate. Inquire of J. H.
