Interesting Interview With the Captain
of the Crlstobol Colon.
NEW YORK. August 20.-The Press
says:
inialn Emillo Dlus Moreu, of tne
Spanish ship Cristobal Colon, In an Inter
view, discussed the events of the last rew
weeks without bitterness. There was
even a playiul suggestiveness in his tones
when he replied to the inquiry wnetner
he would say good bye to the American
fleet as he passed down tne tay on me
Normanle: " 1
"Yes." he went on, "why should not I
have friend on board your hlps? We
did not fight as personal foe. Captain
Cook, of the Brooklyn you don't know
him; ah. a fine man. Half an hour after
the battle I had given him my photo
graph and be had given me his. On mine
I wrote: "We have Just fought two hour
and a half. Each did his duty. We were
not personal foes. Now that It is all
over, we are comrade and friends.' That
la the way I feel toward the Americans.
1 believe they have a different opinion
of the Spaniards from what they have
had before the war."
"Captain, do you think HobsoB rtll -raise
the Colon?"
"No. He will not. She is tipped on her
side and her 7-Inch guns have smashed
her. Any vessel saved there will cost
twice It value. "

knows It; Sampson know It, and so does
Cook. I told them It -waj not the Brook

escaping. They say I went only 64 miles.
I tell you It was 71 Divide that by the

dropping the Brooklyn behind. Oh, no.
neither of the two kept me from escaping,
but I cannot tell you now why I was not
able to save my splendid ship," and the
captain's voice trembled.
"You won't have long to wait, .hough;
you won't have long to wait," he re
peated. Spanish parliament I will represent the
floor of the cortes, as a member of the
Spanish parliament. I will represent the
Montrit district In Granada province. I
have been permitted by the president to
go home now, that I muy be present at
the opening of the cortes, which will
take place in a few days. Then I will
explain and many things dark will be
made clear. I know many Americans
