Orr Sarrrraoo, July 5 -[Special] -

Since his capture Cervera said he pre- ferred to have his ships destroyed at sea like a sailor than in harbor and to

go out was the only course open to him.

So lar nothing is known of the Cristo-

bal Colon and she may have escaped!

I All the others were destroyed. The _ min oimssfefwnsnm-sfyif=sn==nr-~»~S°vfi=eiiQrnnn°°»»fG»~=lag» .-iw-|

both the Spanish torpedo boat destroy- ers.

The Spanish ships all took tire and

the Americans sent boats to their assist-

8.1106.

Cervera was taken aboard the Glou-

cester and thanked Commander Wain- wright, fdrmerly of the Maine, who congratulated him on the brave fight his tleet had made.

All were glad to get aboard the

American lleet, fearing an attack from the Cubans on shore.

Quite a number of Spaniards were

drowned, while many others lost their lives by the vessels blowing up. - The destroyed tleet consisted of the armored cruisers, Almirante Oquendo, Infants Maria Terese and Viscaya, and two torpedo boat destroyers, the Furore and the Pluton.

It was a running tight from the mom-

ent the Spanish ships emerged from the harbor entrance.

The destroyed vessels ran westward

along the shore, at a distance of about a mile therefrom. and each commander in succession. as his vessel was crippled ran lier ashore.

The Christobal Colon was the fastest

of the Spanish ships, and she soon ob- tained a lead over the others after leav-

ing the harbor and escaped the effect of the shots which destroyed the other ves- sels.

The Viscaya. Oquendo and Maria

Teresa. ran about twenty miles when 'they were ferced ashore. A

One account says the Christobzil Colon was also forced ashore 60 miles west of Santiago.

At no time did the Spanish ships

show any indication that they intended to do otherwise than fight to the last.

They showed no sign ils to surrender,

even when the ships commenced to sink and the great clouds ot smoke pouring from their sides showed they were on fire.

None of the ships_ ini pursuit of the

Christobal Colon were her equals in speed, and unless she was disabled in some way she has probably got out of their reach.

WAR BALLOON

Sent Up Near Santiago and Report- ed Every Move Made by Spanlards.

Washington, D. C.,-General Gréely

has received the following despatch from Lieutenant Colonel Allen, in charge of he telegraph service of Gen- eral Shafter’s army, at Siboney :--

night from llagship of admiral Sampson . where I was observing it. ALLnN._7’

General Miles also received another

despatch, sent quite early this morning from Shafter’s headquarters, saying that the big military balloon was now high in the air and was giving oppor- tunity for observation over a great ex- tent of country. This,in itself,was of 'in- calculable value to our troops. Brave reconuoisances had been made,but these were of little value. compared to what could be :seen from a balloon a mile or more in the air.commanding a radius < f observation of from twenty to forty miles, with powerful telescopes.

This was the first actual use of a bal-

loon by the American army in the present war, and the commanding general set much store on the inform- ation balloons would give as to exact location of all the Spanish forces, their points of concentration,the defences,the location of Cervera’s war ships in har. bor and possibly the progress of Span- ish reinforcements.

GHIoaGo,July 1.-The ballon that is

now in active use and sailing over the beleagured city of Santiago and in plain view of 25,000 Spaniards and 17,000 Americans, was shipped from Tampa with Shafter’s forces, together with the submarine cables and tield telegraph equipments now be ng used by the Sig- nal Corps of the regular army in Cuba.

W. J. Lloyd, as>istant district su-

perintendent of the \Vestern Union Tele- graph Collpany, says that it is probably one of the finest and most improved equipments used in warfare. This bal- loon was shipped from Paris early in May. The balloon is charged with oxy- gen gas from tubular reservoirs, which have been in use by the army for ox- perimental purposes at Fort Riley. The balloon is lirst charged and then allow ed to ascend by means of wire cables from a large reel. The cable is used as a telegraph and telephone conductor. and the occupants of the balloon tran- smit to the ground their observations

There is little danger of the balloon

being pierced by a rifle shot, on account of its constant swaying condition and the extreme didiculty of hitting any- thing at an elevation of, say, 2,500 feet, which is the usual limit of a cable reel. The French claim to have a gun which will pierce a balloon, but it is supposed there is none in use either in the American or Spanish army.

It is Mr. Lloyd’s belief that the bal-

loon is in charge of Major Joseph E. Maxtield.who was formerly signal oliicer of the Department ot the Missouri, with with General Brooke, ol Chicago. This particular balloon has a lifting capacity of threeor four hundred pounds, which would enable it to- carry two signal men of ordinary weight. as well as the necessary telegraph or photographic

apparatus.

Lost Hia Supplies. _

Mosrnnar. July 2.--A woodmnnu

axe and a heavy travelling rug strapped into a round bundle, are to be seen to. day in the oilice of a well-known rail- way oiiicial in this city, and they are all

all that is left of a. big supply, of goods that were intended to be the intermed- iate means to fortune in that far north country. It is true that the owner ot the rug and the axqcame back, but all he has had for all his trouble and ex-' pense was a thrilling experience. which he is now busily engaged telling be- tween his laughter and tears -tears of grat-itute because he was lucky enough to get back to civilization alive, to see

their .stock past the obstruction and decided to defer the |movement of the remainder until the following day. Wd

Then arose the question would their

goods be safe on the shore of the river without-being removed to a higher point where the water would not be likely to reach them in case it should rise duringthe night, as Dandni-and

the reason that there were so many re-

dioulons thing; connected with his ill starred 'trip t ’t`h`e` cannot help sinile- iog through his tears when telling about them. .

The man"s name is Dandurand, - and

he was one of the party which was made up from this city and the surround- ing country to go to the Yukon at' the time rush was on, and the people far and wide had the gold fever very bad. They had all the money and provisions they needed po carry them through, but misfortune awaited them, and now Mr. Daodurand is glad he was able to geti back alive, instead of being standed away out in that desolate country with- out any prospect of ever seeing home and friends again, as is the case with his less fortunate_ companions. They are all up the Stickeen route yet, minus supplies, minus money, minus,hope,a.nd energy, and nearly everything else. What will become of them the returned man does not pretend to say, but they are like hundreds of others who are stranded away up into the northern winds.

Mr. Dandurand knows that he has a

good story for the newspapers, but he is said to be purposely avoiding the re- presentat-ives of the Montreal papers. so that they may not get hold -f bmi, and get his story from him H 1 i- - r'-dited with a desire to do the b at s» well when he does it, and for f . .r purpose is telling his experience s i~i ~ x -A »_e to a couple of lawyers, wi h me - bjsct in View Of having it 0om_'» etc. :um pro- perly presented. One of his _ie -'s is said to be the exposure . .. angers and horrors of the Stickeen .route over which he attempted to reach the land of gold and failed.

ed to the unlortune argonauts was when they were on the bank of a. river and

Next morning when they went to re

The 'water had risen and carried every pound away never to be seen again. There they were, practically all their worldlv be- longings swept away, thousands of miles away from home and friends that is one of the many experience Mr Dandurand teils about and one that. when he is relating, the tears come in his eyes, but at the same time he cannot help smiling over the ludicrousness of the situation in which he and his com- panions were placed by the accident.
