He Look* Like a Broken-Henrteil 31an and Keenly Feels the Lons of Hi* Fleet. The auxiliary cruiser St. Louis, with 745 Spanish sailors, arrived in Portsmouth harbor, N. H.. at 8:30 o'clock yesterday morning:, and a few minutes later dropped anchor just above Fishing Island. The big liner left Guantar.umo at 6 o'clock Tuesday afternoon, July 5. Including the prisoners, there were 1,U3G people on board the boat, and out of this number there are ninety- one sick and wounded Spaniards under the care of surgeons. Admiral Cervera was co-i- fined to his cabin, having been quite ill tor the past three days, although he was able to be dressed yesterday. Captain Luiate, who was commanuer of the \ izcaya, and is among the prisoners, was also quite iil, having been wounded in the head during the cattle off Santiago. Tne tug A. W Cne^iertcn went alongside tl.e St. i^ouis. with Health Officer F. S. Towle, who went on board. He says there is no evidence of yellow lever or other con- tag. ous diseases. Ail of the Spanish commissioned officers have been on parole and had the freedom of the ship, with one exception, and he was the governor of Santiago de Cuba, who was trying to escape from the city on Admiral Cervera's flagship when she was destroyed on that memorable morning of July 3. He refused to sign the parole papers, and was consequently confined in one of the cabins under guard. The remainder of the pris¬ oners were confined between decks and closely guarded. The prisoners, as well as nearly all the Spanish officers, are dressed in clothes of every description, as most of them had come aboard with very iittle clothing, and w hat they are wearing was given them by the officers and men from the American fleet. Admiral Cervera has remained in his cabin during the trip. He she ik hands with the health officer, and in got I English said he was situated very pleasan ly on the boat, and had received nothing but the kindest and most considerate treatment. had not been feeling well for the past three or four days, but expected to be ali right in a short time. He presents the ap¬ pearance of a broken-hearted man, and keenly feels the less of his fleet, containing the pick of the Spanish navy. At 11 :.V» the first officer from the St. Louis, Ensign Paine, arrived at the navy yard to officially notify Admiral Carpenter of the arrival of the vessel, and with mes¬ sages for Captain Phillips. Admiral Carpenter has perfected the ar¬ rangements to land the prisoners at their quarttrs on Seavoys Island this afternoon, and at 2 o'clock the tug Piscataqua will take three barges loaded with prisoners to the island. On the way up from Santiago a number of the Spanish seamen said that they had had enough of fighting, at least with the Yankees. It is understood that Admiral Cervera has accepted an invitation to stay at a hotel at Newcastle, about four miles from the navy yard. His stay will, however, be short, as the St. Louis will coal immediately after the Spanish sailors are landed and will then leave for Annapolis with all the Spanish officers. The St. Louis came up from San¬ tiago with less than Soo tons of coal on toird. and the economy in the coal con¬ sumption was the cause of her slow t,rip. Admiral Cervera came on deck late yes¬ terday afternoon, and consented to talk with representatives of the press, who went out to the St. Louis on a tug "You ask me," said he, "how I like Amer¬ ica, and I answer you that I have always liked, and I may say, loved your people, but this war has been a duty with me and the men under me. I knew that the Amer¬ ican fleet clearly outclassed us, but it was a question of fighting either inside or out¬ side the harbor. I have many friends in America, and have only the kindliest feel¬ ings for them, but every man has a duty to iH-rform to his country, and all Span¬ iards tried to perform that duty. There has been much feeling in Spain, and I want all Spain to know the truth, that every ship of my squadron fought until the last, and when we could do no more, we sur- rendered. "I have much interest to know the exact situation in Spain. Capt Goodrich has treated us ali as well as any one could pos¬ sibly be treated. My officers have occupied quarters in the saloon, and we cannpt com¬ plain." i MERITS OF ARMY RIFLES. View* of Ordnance Otllrem on the Si»rlnKtieI«l and Small IloreH. The ordnance officers of the army are in¬ dignant at the statements that have ap¬ peared in the pr 33, some of them attributa¬ ble to high army officers, questioning the merits of the Springfield rifle with which a large proportion of the United States army is armed. These statements, they say, are calculated to do infinite harm among the volunteer forces, though the regulars know and like the old Springfield too well to dis¬ trust it now The principal argument made against its employment by the critics is that its short range enables the Spanish armed with Mausers to pick off our men long before they get within range of the Springfielis. This is said to be based upon error. The Springfield has a range of 3.4UO yards, which is only a few hundred yards short of the Mauser and the formers big 500- graln bullet is said to have greater killing power at the long ranges. The opinion of some good practicable soldiers as to the respective merits of the Springfield and the modern small bore is shown by the fact that such able soldiers as Colonel Hay and Colonel Schuyler of New York, who are organizing indep< ndent regiments, have specially requested the War Department to supply them 'he fcrmer. A good deal has been said also as to the great superiority of smokeless powder used In tht small l>ore over the black powder of the Springfield, but none of the best ord- rance officer*, in the War Department has declared that there are merits in both pow¬ ders. In open fighting the smoke made by the Sprlngfle d often serves to obscure the marksman from a return fire while the man armed with the smokeless weapon is exposed to aimed fire. French War»blp« Off Cuba. The big French warship D'Estair.ge ha* arrived at Havana with the French ad¬ miral on board. The French authorities wiil also saiiU a warship to Santiago. THE CAPTIVES' STORY Cervera Tried to Sink the Brooklyn and Make Havana. HIGH PRAISE OF THEIR CAPTORS Spaniards Astonished by Rapidity and Deadiiness of Our Guns. THEIR PRESS BLAMED NEW YORK, July 11..The Herald today prints the following dispatch from its spe¬ cial correspondent at Portsmouth, N. H.: Admiral Cervera told me he had received three cablegrams from the minister of ma¬ rine at Madrid, ordering him to Uave San¬ tiago. Knowing the force he would have to encounter, he felt convinced that obe¬ dience to these orders would spell "suicide" to the imprisoned fleet that faced it. Then came another dispatch, a peremp¬ tory one, that left no choice but to obey. It said: "No matter what the consequences are, go to sea at once and fight the enemy." "So I went out." the admiral said. "My plan was to attack your Brooklyn, sink or disabie her, if possible, then run to Ha¬ vana. raise the blockade there and seek refuge in the harbor, but I failed in my purpose, as >011 know, lost all I had, my fleet and everything." "If the Americans attack Havana I am sure they will meet with terrible resistance and will lose ships and men." "Do you think Santiago can hold out now that your fleet has been withdrawn from its defense?" "if L.inares is not heavily reinforced it must fall. But on the day before I left he was joined by two thousand men. He was expecting reinforcements from ail parts of the island. If they join him the city may hold out for some time." "Has the cable connection of Santiago with Jamaica been cut?" "No; when I came out we were in com¬ munication with every city in the woild." C>rvern"» I'ralse. Ct.-vera then spoke -of Capt. Wainwri.jht of the Gloucester, and his brave, big-heart¬ ed executive officer, Lieut. H. Mc. L. P. Huse. Cervera thanked them both from the bottom of his heart for the manner in which they had stood by the flre-imperiled Maria Teresa, whosi heated guns made a fearful danger zt ne and whose magazine threatened to dash the life from every one near by. Seeing the danger, Cervera begged Lieut. Huse to shove ofT from the flaming wreck. "That gallant and noble officer," said Cer- \era. "replied and said: 'No, admiral, not until I have rescued all your wounded!' " "I jumped overboard," said the admiral, speaking of his own adventures, "and my son followed me. I could make no head¬ way and would have drowned had not he helped me and borne me up with his younger and stronger arms. While we were struggling in the water the Cubans on shore tired at us. but the Americans drove them away and would not allow them to molest us again. Then I was taken on board the Gloucester and then to the Iowa." The admiral was asked about the first bombardment of Santiago. "It was a great surprise," he confessed. He had feared that the Cristobal Colon would have been sunk, as the rest of the fleet was not with¬ in supporting distance, and the forts at that time were but imperfectly defended, mounting but a few guns. He could not understand why the Ameri¬ can ships did not close in and strike the Colon en masse, as she had none of her big guns on board. "Did you not have her big guns? Where were they?" was the question that Inter¬ rupted'the admiral's talk. "In Italy.or perhaps in the pockets of our chief of ordnance," was the reply, giv¬ en with an expressive shrug. "Hob" Erunai* Courtrsy, Of Captain.Robley D. Evans of the Iowa the admiral s^oke in glowing terms. On board that vessel he iiad been received more as a conqueror than a captive. Eulate, captain of the Vizcaya, also spoke in high terms of Captain Evans, and ap¬ preciates the courtesy of "Fighting Bob" in allowing him to retain his sword, and also for the way in which he allowed the Vizcaya's dead to be buried. After the Spanish flag had been wrapped around the bodies the padre of the Vizcaya committed them to the deep, the Iowa's guard of marines firing three volleys over the ..ead. Cervera told Commodore Schley that one shell which had burst on board the Maria Teresa killed and wounded eighty men. Captain Eulate, wounded, halt of limb and depressed in spirit, saiu he had saved his honor, although he had lost his ship. That was the wording of a dispatch which he -ad sent his wife after the destruction of the Vizcaya. "When you think of tlie odds I encoun¬ tered, you will see that I could not do more than I did." Captain Eulate said. "I had only one ship against four. My enemies, were the Brooklyn, the Oregon and the Texas, and, I think, the Iowa was the other. All four punished us severely, but it was >he Texas that gave us our coup de grace.a shell fired from that vessel enter¬ ing our port bow and exploding one of the forward magazines. My men stood by their guns and fought like true Spaniards." "But naval conflicts now are not i.eter- mined by courage," sighed the mournful captain. "The vlc-.ory is to the finer ma¬ chine, and the American machines were better than ours. The Vizcaya, ah! she was a fine ship! And now what a wreck! Poor Spain!" , Captain Eulate commanded the Vizcaya during that vessel's visit to New York har¬ bor. a short time after the Maine disaster. Before that he had come Into notoriety as the officer who had ordered the execution of the Competitor prisoners. Tlie Plua for Eacapr. Capt. Maocrohon, second captain of th» Maria Teresa, said: "Our plan for escape was well arranged, but better formulated than executed. We had arranged to force our way out on Sat¬ urday night, and the Maria Teresa was to have lad. But. contrary to our expecta¬ tions, the searchlights of your ships did not illumine the channel that night, as had been usual, and without that light we were unable to discern the wreck of the Merrl- mac. 30 we could not go out. You know how we came out thj next morning.Sun- day, that was. Great crowds were expected to come do-vn to the wharf to see us de¬ part, but the American troops were pushing tlie city too hard in front and there wjre none to see us off. . Our orders were to steam at full speed to the westward after ti^«*ring the harbor and concentrate our at¬ tack on the Brooklyn, paying no attention to any of the other ships unless they forced us to attack them. "So in the morning they signaled to us frorn the battery that only the Texas and the Brooklyn were to the westward, and we got und?r way, the Maria Teresa, being the flagship, taking the lead. We opened fire on the Brooklyn and the Texas answered it. but her shot fell short. Otherwise she would have struck us. for It was a straight line shot. The Brooklyn and tlie Iowa th»n fired, but neither shot hit. Again the Brook¬ lyn and the Texas fired. The Brooklyn's shell went Into the Admiral's cabin and exploding, set fire to the after part of the ship. Th; shell from the Texas pierced our aLm°r'. anJ In the engine room bursting the main steam pipe. We signaled to the engineer to start the pumps but got nc reply, and then found that all bflow in that part of the ship had b»en bridge ^h,nat ?lmeJ1 was llke he« on our Shells were bursting all around us, ?o ships hull was being riddled be- ilMclird the Ship. "The captain turned to me and said: 'Sir, do you think It best to continue the hop»- .?ss fight: or, for the sake of humanity and to save life, should we not beach the ship? Many of our guns are dismounted and our engines are crippled.' " '8ir,' I replied, 'we ari unable to fight longer. Let us beach the ship.' Then, as I said that, a shell struck our captain. His last words were to haul down the colors. The American fire was so fierce and their shells were bursting around us so fast and making so much smoke that the Americans could not see that the flag was down and continued firing. I sent below for a blanket, and as soon as that was run up the firing ceased. ^'Meanwhile the Vlicaya had run between us and the Texas and was then engaging three ships.the Brooklyn, Oregon and Texas. She made a desperate, but hope¬ less fight. Now that we have learned that we lost between 800 and 1,000 men and the Americans lost only one man, it amazes us. It is incredible. We cannot comprehend it. It does not seem possible. And yet we must believe it. Have we not seen with our own eyes the utter wrecks of our ships and how yours were not hurt, even the smallest Injury, that we could see." "If you had managed to escape, where would you have gone, to Cienfuegos?" "By no means," the officer replied. "Our intention was to run to Havana, raise the blockade there and enter the harbor." "What will be the result of the battle? the Spanish commander was asked. "Ah, I do not know," was the mournful reply. "I hear now that the Americans in¬ tend sending their fleet to my country.- that is my anxiety. My poor Spain will be helpless against your attack. I have seen what your ships can do and know our ex¬ posed cities will be destroyed." "You were, then, much impressed with the fire of the American ships?" "We were all astonished by its amazing rapidity and deadliness," was the frank reply. . "The Spanish press," said one, who begs me not to Quote his name, "is alone to blame for the awful way in which we and the country at large have been deceived. We had been led to believe that the Amer¬ icans would talk and bluster, but would not fight, and that America had no gopd ships.that the few bad ones she had were manned by foreigners, who would desert In time of war. Oh, how we have been de¬ ceived! And then we were told that we would be horribly tortured and killed if we were captured. Now I can hardly beneve my senses. We are treated as friends and brothers by those we had been taught to dread." ENEMY'S FIRE WAS SILENCED. Netrft Came nt the Clo«e of a Busy Sunday. The American flag floated over the Wrhite House and the War and Navy De- partments yesterday, an unusual thing for a Sunday, but a sign of the times. It was a reminder of the President's call upon the people of the land to celebrate the glorious achievements of the American army and navy. The President himself and the members of the cabinet led the way in the observance of the 01 his proclamation by repairing to their re¬ spective places of worship and offering up thanks for the success that has attended a righteous cause and prayers for a con¬ tinuance of the manifestation of divine favdr. The news of the bombardment of San¬ tiago came to the War Department at the close of a busy Sunday. Several dispatches were received from Gen. Shafter during the day. of which the following were made public: . .'1 have just received letter from Gen. Toral declining unconditional surrender. Bombardment by army and navy will be¬ gin at as near 4 p.m. today (yesterday) as possible." "Enemy opened Are a few minutes past 4 with light guns, which were soon si¬ lenced by ours, very little musketry tiring, and the enemy kept entirely in their en¬ trenchments. Three men slightly wounded; will have considerable forces tomorrow; enough to completely block all the roads on the northwest. X am quite well. Gen. Garcia reports that enemy evacuated lit¬ tle town ca.led Doscanlnos, about three miles from Santiago and near the bay." Information received by the War De¬ partment during the few days of truce In¬ dicates that Gen. Shatter has materially strengthened his position. During the week he received reinforcements of both artillery and Infantry. Randolph's Bat¬ tery of twenty-four guns, which left Key- West Tuesday at midnight. Is now in posi¬ tion before Santiago, and, as One of the War Department officials expressed it: "When those L.ong Toms of Randolph be¬ gin to talk something will happen in San¬ tiago." Gen. Shafter has nearly fifty siege guns and a large number of seven-inch mortars, besides lighter artillery at his disposal. These guns, taken in connection with the work that can be done by the fleet, will. It is believed, carry terror and destruction to Santiago. Gen. Shafter notified the department of the arrival of the following reinforcements: "The St. Paul has Just arrived with Gen. Henry and his command and quartermas¬ ter's stores." "The Catania has Just arrived with the 1st District of Columbia Volunteers." OllUVEn SAMPSON'S ORDER. Captain <~lark Reports Cpon HI. I'llrt In tiie Naval Battle. Capt. Clark of the United States battle ship Oregon, which did such remarkable work at the naval battle off Santiago de Cuba, that resulted in the destruction of Admiral Cervora's squadron, says, in his official report of the engagement to Rear Admiral Sampson, according to an Asso¬ ciated Press copyrighted dispatch from oft Guantanamo, Saturday morning last: "The Spanish fleet turned to the west¬ ward and opened flre, to which our ships replied vigorously. For a short time there was an almost continued flight of projec¬ tiles over the ship, but when our '.ine was fairly engaged the enemy's tire b'came de¬ fective. As soon as it was evident that the enemy's ships were trying to break through and escape to westward, we went ahead at full speed with the determination of carrying cut to the utmost your instruc¬ tions: 'If the enemy tries to escape, the ships must close and engage him as soon as possible, and endeavor to sink his ves¬ sels or force them to run ashore.' "We soon passed all of our vessels, ex¬ cept the Brooklyn. At first we used only the main battery, but when it was discov¬ ered that the enemy's torpedo boats were following the ships we used ou" rapid-lire guns, as well as the six-inch guns upon them with telling effect. "As we ranged up near the sternmost of their ships she headed for the beach, evi¬ dently on flre. We raked her as we passed, rushing on for the next ahead, using our starboard guns as they were brought to bear, and before 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 increased to sixteen 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 destruction was assured. As she Btruck 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 con¬ duct of all or, board this ship. When they found the Oregon had rushed to the front and was hurrying to a succession of con¬ flicts with the enemy's vessels, if they cculd be overtaken and would engage, the enthusiasm was intense. As these Spanish vessels were so much more heavily armored than the Brooklyn, they might have con- cer tra'.ed upon and overpo wered her. "Consequently, I am persuaded that but for the officers and men of the Oregon, who steamed and steered the ship and fought and supplied her batteries, the Cristobal Colon and perhaps the Vizcaya would have escaped." WHO SHOULD BUY THE STAMP f Commluioner of Internal Revenue on tbe New Law. The commissioner of Internal revenue is receiving hundreds of telegrams ana letters from merchants, manufacturers and boards of trade, as well as from senators and rep¬ resentatives, asking construction of the war revenue law of 1888, upon the point as to who should pay for and affix a stamp upon telegraphic messages and upon ex¬ press receipts of bills of lading given by express, railroad and steamboat companies, and other common carriers, for goods transported by them. He has made general answer to all such inquiries to this effect: As to the stamp on a telegraphic mes¬ sage: The law does not specify who shall furnish it. It simply imposes the tax of 1 cent upon each message, and prescribes In section 18 that "no telegraph company, or Its agent, or employe shall transmit to any person any dispatch or message without an adhesive stamp denoting the tax Imposed by this act being affixed to a copy thereof, or having the same stamped thereupon, and in default thereof shall Incur a penalty of $10." The commissioner holds, there¬ fore, that the sender of the message should stamp it. In the caae of the stamp required to be affixed to an receipt or bill of lad¬ ing, given by an express or railroad com¬ pany or other common carrier, the law specifically states that "it shall be the duty of every railroad or steamboat company, carrier, express company, or corporation, or person whose occupation it is to act as such, to issue to the shipper or consignor, or his agent, or person from whom any goods are accepted for transportation, a bill of lading, manifest, or other evidence of receipt and forwarding for each ship¬ ment received for carriage and transporta¬ tion whether In bu\k, or in boxes, bales, packaeres, bundles, or not so inclosed or in¬ cluded; and there shall be duly attached and canceled, as in this act provided, to each of said bills of lading, manifests, or other memorandum, and to each duplicate thereof, a stamp of the value of 1 per cent." It is held, therefore, to be clearly evident that if an express company or other car¬ rier accepts goods for transportation it must issue to the consignor a bill of lading or receipt duly stamped and the stomp canceled. If such company or carrier refuses to ac¬ cept goods offered for transportation, ex¬ cept on condition that the consignor shall pay the price of the stamp, in addition to the regular charge for the service per¬ formed, or proposed to be performed, the internal revenue laws afford no remedy. As to whether the laws imposing obliga¬ tions upon common carriers, if appealed to, would supply a remedy, the commissioner holds that the courts must decide. AUCTION SALES OF REAL. ESTATE, <fcc.

CERVERA AS A PRISONER

Spanish Admiral Reaches Portsmouth Har¬bor on the St. Louis.

He Look* Like a Broken-Henrteil31an and Keenly Feels the

Lons of Hi* Fleet.

The auxiliary cruiser St. Louis, with 745Spanish sailors, arrived in Portsmouthharbor, N. H.. at 8:30 o'clock yesterdaymorning:, and a few minutes later droppedanchor just above Fishing Island. The bigliner left Guantar.umo at 6 o'clock Tuesdayafternoon, July 5. Including the prisoners,there were 1,U3G people on board the boat,and out of this number there are ninety-one sick and wounded Spaniards under thecare of surgeons. Admiral Cervera was co-i-fined to his cabin, having been quite ill torthe past three days, although he was ableto be dressed yesterday. Captain Luiate,who was commanuer of the \ izcaya, and isamong the prisoners, was also quite iil,having been wounded in the head duringthe cattle off Santiago.Tne tug A. W Cne^iertcn went alongside

tl.e St. i^ouis. with Health Officer F. S.Towle, who went on board. He says thereis no evidence of yellow lever or other con-tag.ous diseases.Ail of the Spanish commissioned officers

have been on parole and had the freedomof the ship, with one exception, and he wasthe governor of Santiago de Cuba, who wastrying to escape from the city on AdmiralCervera's flagship when she was destroyedon that memorable morning of July 3. Herefused to sign the parole papers, and wasconsequently confined in one of the cabinsunder guard. The remainder of the pris¬oners were confined between decks andclosely guarded.The prisoners, as well as nearly all the

Spanish officers, are dressed in clothes ofevery description, as most of them hadcome aboard with very iittle clothing, andw hat they are wearing was given them bythe officers and men from the Americanfleet.Admiral Cervera has remained in his

cabin during the trip. He she ik handswith the health officer, and in got I Englishsaid he was situated very pleasan ly on theboat, and had received nothing but thekindest and most considerate treatment.H» had not been feeling well for the pastthree or four days, but expected to be aliright in a short time. He presents the ap¬pearance of a broken-hearted man, andkeenly feels the less of his fleet, containingthe pick of the Spanish navy.At 11 :.V» the first officer from the St.Louis, Ensign Paine, arrived at the navyyard to officially notify Admiral Carpenterof the arrival of the vessel, and with mes¬

sages for Captain Phillips.Admiral Carpenter has perfected the ar¬

rangements to land the prisoners at theirquarttrs on Seavoys Island this afternoon,and at 2 o'clock the tug Piscataqua willtake three barges loaded with prisoners tothe island.On the way up from Santiago a numberof the Spanish seamen said that they hadhad enough of fighting, at least with theYankees.It is understood that Admiral Cerverahas accepted an invitation to stay at ahotel at Newcastle, about four miles fromthe navy yard.His stay will, however, be short, as theSt. Louis will coal immediately after theSpanish sailors are landed and will thenleave for Annapolis with all the Spanishofficers. The St. Louis came up from San¬tiago with less than Soo tons of coal ontoird. and the economy in the coal con¬sumption was the cause of her slow t,rip.Admiral Cervera came on deck late yes¬terday afternoon, and consented to talkwith representatives of the press, whowent out to the St. Louis on a tug"You ask me," said he, "how I like Amer¬ica, and I answer you that I have alwaysliked, and I may say, loved your people,but this war has been a duty with me andthe men under me. I knew that the Amer¬ican fleet clearly outclassed us, but it was

a question of fighting either inside or out¬side the harbor. I have many friends inAmerica, and have only the kindliest feel¬ings for them, but every man has a dutyto iH-rform to his country, and all Span¬iards tried to perform that duty. Therehas been much feeling in Spain, and I wantall Spain to know the truth, that everyship of my squadron fought until the last,and when we could do no more, we sur-rendered."I have much interest to know the exactsituation in Spain. Capt Goodrich hastreated us ali as well as any one could pos¬sibly be treated. My officers have occupiedquarters in the saloon, and we cannpt com¬plain." i

MERITS OF ARMY RIFLES.

View* of Ordnance Otllrem on theSi»rlnKtieI«l and Small IloreH.

The ordnance officers of the army are in¬dignant at the statements that have ap¬peared in the pr 33, some of them attributa¬ble to high army officers, questioning themerits of the Springfield rifle with which alarge proportion of the United States armyis armed. These statements, they say, arecalculated to do infinite harm among thevolunteer forces, though the regulars knowand like the old Springfield too well to dis¬trust it now The principal argumentmade against its employment by the criticsis that its short range enables the Spanisharmed with Mausers to pick off our menlong before they get within range of theSpringfielis.This is said to be based upon error. The

Springfield has a range of 3.4UO yards,which is only a few hundred yards shortof the Mauser and the formers big 500-graln bullet is said to have greater killingpower at the long ranges. The opinion ofsome good practicable soldiers as to therespective merits of the Springfield and themodern small bore is shown by the factthat such able soldiers as Colonel Hay andColonel Schuyler of New York, who areorganizing indep< ndent regiments, havespecially requested the War Department tosupply them 'he fcrmer.A good deal has been said also as to the

great superiority of smokeless powder usedIn tht small l>ore over the black powder ofthe Springfield, but none of the best ord-rance officer*, in the War Department hasdeclared that there are merits in both pow¬ders. In open fighting the smoke made bythe Sprlngfle d often serves to obscure themarksman from a return fire while theman armed with the smokeless weapon isexposed to aimed fire.

THE CAPTIVES' STORYCervera Tried to Sink the Brooklyn

and Make Havana.

HIGH PRAISE OF THEIR CAPTORS

Spaniards Astonished by Rapidityand Deadiiness of Our Guns.

THEIR PRESS BLAMED

NEW YORK, July 11..The Herald todayprints the following dispatch from its spe¬cial correspondent at Portsmouth, N. H.:Admiral Cervera told me he had received

three cablegrams from the minister of ma¬rine at Madrid, ordering him to Uave San¬tiago. Knowing the force he would haveto encounter, he felt convinced that obe¬dience to these orders would spell "suicide"to the imprisoned fleet that faced it.Then came another dispatch, a peremp¬

tory one, that left no choice but to obey. Itsaid: "No matter what the consequencesare, go to sea at once and fight theenemy.""So I went out." the admiral said. "My

plan was to attack your Brooklyn, sink or

disabie her, if possible, then run to Ha¬vana. raise the blockade there and seekrefuge in the harbor, but I failed in mypurpose, as >011 know, lost all I had, myfleet and everything.""If the Americans attack Havana I am

sure they will meet with terrible resistanceand will lose ships and men.""Do you think Santiago can hold out now

that your fleet has been withdrawn fromits defense?""if L.inares is not heavily reinforced it

must fall. But on the day before I left hewas joined by two thousand men. He wasexpecting reinforcements from ail parts ofthe island. If they join him the city mayhold out for some time.""Has the cable connection of Santiago

with Jamaica been cut?""No; when I came out we were in com¬

munication with every city in the woild."C>rvern"» I'ralse.

Ct.-vera then spoke -of Capt. Wainwri.jhtof the Gloucester, and his brave, big-heart¬ed executive officer, Lieut. H. Mc. L. P.Huse. Cervera thanked them both fromthe bottom of his heart for the manner inwhich they had stood by the flre-imperiledMaria Teresa, whosi heated guns made afearful danger zt ne and whose magazinethreatened to dash the life from every onenear by.Seeing the danger, Cervera begged Lieut.

Huse to shove ofT from the flaming wreck."That gallant and noble officer," said Cer-\era. "replied and said: 'No, admiral, notuntil I have rescued all your wounded!' "

"I jumped overboard," said the admiral,speaking of his own adventures, "and myson followed me. I could make no head¬way and would have drowned had not hehelped me and borne me up with hisyounger and stronger arms. While wewere struggling in the water the Cubanson shore tired at us. but the Americansdrove them away and would not allowthem to molest us again. Then I wastaken on board the Gloucester and then tothe Iowa."The admiral was asked about the first

bombardment of Santiago. "It was a greatsurprise," he confessed. He had fearedthat the Cristobal Colon would have beensunk, as the rest of the fleet was not with¬in supporting distance, and the forts atthat time were but imperfectly defended,mounting but a few guns.He could not understand why the Ameri¬

can ships did not close in and strike theColon en masse, as she had none of her bigguns on board."Did you not have her big guns? Where

were they?" was the question that Inter¬rupted'the admiral's talk."In Italy.or perhaps in the pockets of

our chief of ordnance," was the reply, giv¬en with an expressive shrug.

"Hob" Erunai* Courtrsy,Of Captain.Robley D. Evans of the Iowa

the admiral s^oke in glowing terms. Onboard that vessel he iiad been receivedmore as a conqueror than a captive.Eulate, captain of the Vizcaya, also spoke

in high terms of Captain Evans, and ap¬preciates the courtesy of "Fighting Bob"in allowing him to retain his sword, andalso for the way in which he allowed theVizcaya's dead to be buried. After theSpanish flag had been wrapped around thebodies the padre of the Vizcaya committedthem to the deep, the Iowa's guard ofmarines firing three volleys over the ..ead.Cervera told Commodore Schley that one

shell which had burst on board the MariaTeresa killed and wounded eighty men.Captain Eulate, wounded, halt of limb

and depressed in spirit, saiu he had savedhis honor, although he had lost his ship.That was the wording of a dispatch whichhe -ad sent his wife after the destructionof the Vizcaya."When you think of tlie odds I encoun¬

tered, you will see that I could not do morethan I did." Captain Eulate said."I had only one ship against four. My

enemies, were the Brooklyn, the Oregon andthe Texas, and, I think, the Iowa was theother. All four punished us severely, butit was >he Texas that gave us our coup degrace.a shell fired from that vessel enter¬ing our port bow and exploding one of theforward magazines. My men stood bytheir guns and fought like true Spaniards.""But naval conflicts now are not i.eter-

mined by courage," sighed the mournfulcaptain. "The vlc-.ory is to the finer ma¬chine, and the American machines werebetter than ours. The Vizcaya, ah! shewas a fine ship! And now what a wreck!Poor Spain!" ,

Captain Eulate commanded the Vizcayaduring that vessel's visit to New York har¬bor. a short time after the Maine disaster.Before that he had come Into notoriety asthe officer who had ordered the executionof the Competitor prisoners.

Tlie Plua for Eacapr.Capt. Maocrohon, second captain of th»

Maria Teresa, said:"Our plan for escape was well arranged,

but better formulated than executed. Wehad arranged to force our way out on Sat¬urday night, and the Maria Teresa was tohave lad. But. contrary to our expecta¬tions, the searchlights of your ships did notillumine the channel that night, as hadbeen usual, and without that light we wereunable to discern the wreck of the Merrl-mac. 30 we could not go out. You knowhow we came out thj next morning.Sun-day, that was. Great crowds were expectedto come do-vn to the wharf to see us de¬part, but the American troops were pushingtlie city too hard in front and there wjrenone to see us off. . Our orders were tosteam at full speed to the westward afterti^«*ring the harbor and concentrate our at¬tack on the Brooklyn, paying no attentionto any of the other ships unless they forcedus to attack them."So in the morning they signaled to us

frorn the battery that only the Texas andthe Brooklyn were to the westward, and wegot und?r way, the Maria Teresa, being theflagship, taking the lead. We opened fireon the Brooklyn and the Texas answeredit. but her shot fell short. Otherwise shewould have struck us. for It was a straightline shot. The Brooklyn and tlie Iowa th»nfired, but neither shot hit. Again the Brook¬lyn and the Texas fired. The Brooklyn'sshell went Into the Admiral's cabin andexploding, set fire to the after part of theship. Th; shell from the Texas pierced our

aLm°r'. anJ In the engineroom bursting the main steam pipe. Wesignaled to the engineer to start the pumpsbut got nc reply, and then found that allbflow in that part of the ship had b»enbridge ^h,nat ?lmeJ1 was llke he« on our

Shells were bursting all around us,

?o ships hull was being riddled be-

ilMclird the Ship."The captain turned to me and said: 'Sir,

do you think It best to continue the hop»-.?ss fight: or, for the sake of humanity andto save life, should we not beach the ship?Many of our guns are dismounted and ourengines are crippled.'" '8ir,' I replied, 'we ari unable to fight

longer. Let us beach the ship.'Then, as I said that, a shell struck our

captain. His last words were to haul downthe colors. The American fire was so fierceand their shells were bursting around us sofast and making so much smoke that the

Americans could not see that the flag wasdown and continued firing. I sent belowfor a blanket, and as soon as that was runup the firing ceased.^'Meanwhile the Vlicaya had run between

us and the Texas and was then engagingthree ships.the Brooklyn, Oregon andTexas. She made a desperate, but hope¬less fight. Now that we have learned thatwe lost between 800 and 1,000 men and theAmericans lost only one man, it amazes us.It is incredible. We cannot comprehend it.It does not seem possible. And yet wemust believe it. Have we not seen withour own eyes the utter wrecks of our shipsand how yours were not hurt, even thesmallest Injury, that we could see.""If you had managed to escape, where

would you have gone, to Cienfuegos?""By no means," the officer replied. "Our

intention was to run to Havana, raise theblockade there and enter the harbor.""What will be the result of the battle?

the Spanish commander was asked."Ah, I do not know," was the mournful

reply. "I hear now that the Americans in¬tend sending their fleet to my country.-that is my anxiety. My poor Spain will behelpless against your attack. I have seenwhat your ships can do and know our ex¬posed cities will be destroyed.""You were, then, much impressed with

the fire of the American ships?""We were all astonished by its amazing

rapidity and deadliness," was the frankreply. .

"The Spanish press," said one, who begsme not to Quote his name, "is alone toblame for the awful way in which we andthe country at large have been deceived.We had been led to believe that the Amer¬icans would talk and bluster, but wouldnot fight, and that America had no gopdships.that the few bad ones she had weremanned by foreigners, who would desert Intime of war. Oh, how we have been de¬ceived! And then we were told that wewould be horribly tortured and killed if wewere captured. Now I can hardly benevemy senses. We are treated as friends andbrothers by those we had been taught todread."

ENEMY'S FIRE WAS SILENCED.

Netrft Came nt the Clo«e of a BusySunday.

The American flag floated over theWrhite House and the War and Navy De-partments yesterday, an unusual thing fora Sunday, but a sign of the times. Itwas a reminder of the President's callupon the people of the land to celebratethe glorious achievements of the Americanarmy and navy. The President himselfand the members of the cabinet led theway in the observance of the 01his proclamation by repairing to their re¬

spective places of worship and offering upthanks for the success that has attendeda righteous cause and prayers for a con¬tinuance of the manifestation of divinefavdr.The news of the bombardment of San¬

tiago came to the War Department at theclose of a busy Sunday. Several dispatcheswere received from Gen. Shafter duringthe day. of which the following were madepublic:

..'1 have just received letter from Gen.Toral declining unconditional surrender.Bombardment by army and navy will be¬gin at as near 4 p.m. today (yesterday)as possible.""Enemy opened Are a few minutes past

4 with light guns, which were soon si¬lenced by ours, very little musketry tiring,and the enemy kept entirely in their en¬trenchments. Three men slightly wounded;will have considerable forces tomorrow;enough to completely block all the roadson the northwest. X am quite well. Gen.Garcia reports that enemy evacuated lit¬tle town ca.led Doscanlnos, about threemiles from Santiago and near the bay."Information received by the War De¬

partment during the few days of truce In¬dicates that Gen. Shatter has materiallystrengthened his position. During theweek he received reinforcements of bothartillery and Infantry. Randolph's Bat¬tery of twenty-four guns, which left Key-West Tuesday at midnight. Is now in posi¬tion before Santiago, and, as One of theWar Department officials expressed it:"When those L.ong Toms of Randolph be¬gin to talk something will happen in San¬tiago."Gen. Shafter has nearly fifty siege guns

and a large number of seven-inch mortars,besides lighter artillery at his disposal.These guns, taken in connection with thework that can be done by the fleet, will.It is believed, carry terror and destructionto Santiago.Gen. Shafter notified the department of

the arrival of the following reinforcements:"The St. Paul has Just arrived with Gen.

Henry and his command and quartermas¬ter's stores.""The Catania has Just arrived with the

1st District of Columbia Volunteers."

Captain <~lark Reports Cpon HI. I'llrtIn tiie Naval Battle.

Capt. Clark of the United States battleship Oregon, which did such remarkablework at the naval battle off Santiago deCuba, that resulted in the destruction ofAdmiral Cervora's squadron, says, in hisofficial report of the engagement to RearAdmiral Sampson, according to an Asso¬ciated Press copyrighted dispatch from oftGuantanamo, Saturday morning last:"The Spanish fleet turned to the west¬

ward and opened flre, to which our shipsreplied vigorously. For a short time therewas an almost continued flight of projec¬tiles over the ship, but when our '.ine wasfairly engaged the enemy's tire b'came de¬fective. As soon as it was evident thatthe enemy's ships were trying to breakthrough and escape to westward, we wentahead at full speed with the determinationof carrying cut to the utmost your instruc¬tions: 'If the enemy tries to escape, theships must close and engage him as soonas possible, and endeavor to sink his ves¬sels or force them to run ashore.'"We soon passed all of our vessels, ex¬

cept the Brooklyn. At first we used onlythe main battery, but when it was discov¬ered that the enemy's torpedo boats werefollowing the ships we used ou" rapid-lireguns, as well as the six-inch guns uponthem with telling effect."As we ranged up near the sternmost of

their ships she headed for the beach, evi¬dently on flre. We raked her as we passed,rushing on for the next ahead, using ourstarboard guns as they were brought tobear, and before we had her fairly abeamshe, too, was making for the beach. Thetwo remaining vessels were now some dis¬tance ahead, but our speed had increasedto sixteen knots, and the Vizcaya was soonsent 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 forwardturret guns, and the Brooklyn followed,the Colon began to edge In toward thecoast, and her destruction was assured.As she Btruck the beach her flag wentdown."The Brooklyn sent a boat to her, and

when the admiral caught up with the NewYork, Texas and Vixen, the Cristobal Colonwas taken possession of. I cannot speakin too high terms of the bearing and con¬duct of all or, board this ship. When theyfound the Oregon had rushed to the frontand was hurrying to a succession of con¬flicts with the enemy's vessels, if theycculd be overtaken and would engage, theenthusiasm was intense. As these Spanishvessels were so much more heavily armoredthan the Brooklyn, they might have con-cer tra'.ed upon and overpo wered her."Consequently, I am persuaded that but

for the officers and men of the Oregon, whosteamed and steered the ship and foughtand supplied her batteries, the CristobalColon and perhaps the Vizcaya would haveescaped."WHO SHOULD BUY THE STAMP f

Commluioner of Internal Revenue ontbe New Law.

The commissioner of Internal revenue isreceiving hundreds of telegrams ana lettersfrom merchants, manufacturers and boardsof trade, as well as from senators and rep¬resentatives, asking construction of thewar revenue law of 1888, upon the point asto who should pay for and affix a stampupon telegraphic messages and upon ex¬press receipts of bills of lading given byexpress, railroad and steamboat companies,and other common carriers, for goodstransported by them.He has made general answer to all such

inquiries to this effect:As to the stamp on a telegraphic mes¬

sage: The law does not specify who shallfurnish it. It simply imposes the tax of 1cent upon each message, and prescribes Insection 18 that "no telegraph company, orIts agent, or employe shall transmit to anyperson any dispatch or message without anadhesive stamp denoting the tax Imposedby this act being affixed to a copy thereof,or having the same stamped thereupon,and in default thereof shall Incur a penaltyof $10." The commissioner holds, there¬fore, that the sender of the message shouldstamp it.In the caae of the stamp required to be

affixed to an receipt or bill of lad¬ing, given by an express or railroad com¬pany or other common carrier, the lawspecifically states that "it shall be the dutyof every railroad or steamboat company,carrier, express company, or corporation,or person whose occupation it is to act assuch, to issue to the shipper or consignor,or his agent, or person from whom anygoods are accepted for transportation, abill of lading, manifest, or other evidenceof receipt and forwarding for each ship¬ment received for carriage and transporta¬tion whether In bu\k, or in boxes, bales,packaeres, bundles, or not so inclosed or in¬cluded; and there shall be duly attachedand canceled, as in this act provided, toeach of said bills of lading, manifests, orother memorandum, and to each duplicatethereof, a stamp of the value of 1 percent."

It is held, therefore, to be clearly evidentthat if an express company or other car¬rier accepts goods for transportation itmust issue to the consignor a bill of ladingor receipt duly stamped and the stompcanceled.

If such company or carrier refuses to ac¬cept goods offered for transportation, ex¬cept on condition that the consignor shallpay the price of the stamp, in addition tothe regular charge for the service per¬formed, or proposed to be performed, theinternal revenue laws afford no remedy.As to whether the laws imposing obliga¬

tions upon common carriers, if appealed to,would supply a remedy, the commissionerholds that the courts must decide.
