Porrsmovrs, N. H.,Jaly 11.—The aux» iliary cruiser St. Louis, with 745 Spanish prisoners, including, Admiral Cervera, arrived here yesterday.

Cervera, in an interview, eaid: “You

me how I like Americas; I may say loved, your people, but this war has been duty with meand the men under me.

“I know that the American fleet clearly outclassed but it wasa question of fighting either inside or outside the harbor.

“I have many friends in America and have only the kindliest feeilngs for them, but every man has his duty to perform to nis eountry,and all Spaniards tried to perform that duty. There has been much feeling in Spain, and I want all Spain to know the truth,—that every ehip ot my squadron fought to the last, and when we could do no more _we surrendered.

General Monet escaped with Augusti’s family, who had @ passport from General Aguivaldo.

Owing to the fact that the Spaniards are excitable, Monet’s position is dangerous.

HORRORS OF WAR, Statement of Persons at the Front,

Sufferings of Men in Camp.

El Pozo Hill, near Santiago, Cuba, July 6—Though Geveral Linares has said he will not consider the surrender of the city, it may capitulate before the Americans try to take itby assault. In any case, a long seige is outof the ques- tion. The stench due to dead men and horses about the United States position ie frightfel.

The Spanish bave only ammunition for three days. AJ) the women and children who intend to leave Santiago before the bombardment have already left. It is estimated that 3,080 passed through the ; United States lines yesterday.

The United States hospitals are in great need of surgeons, nurses aud supplies. The sanitary conditions are worse since the battle on account of the decomposing bodies. Many bodies are floating near the wrecks of Admiral Cervera’s ships.

The cry of the Spanish naval prison- ers is, “Let Cuba go and give us peace!”

The Venezuelan Consul says he has positive information that Genera! Linares, whois wounded, but not dead, and General Tora! are at odds. General Torai wants to surrender. In_ this he hasthe support of tbe Archbishop of Santiago de Cuba, who has lost some of his recent warlike epirit. General Linares positively refuses,

Spanish officers, speaking to some of the United States men during an armistice, said he could not surrender without the consent of Madrid, aod hinted that the Americans should demand the surrender ot Santiago from Sagasta instead of Lin- ares.

All the foreign attaches wonder how tbe United States ships were so little damaged by Admiral Cervera.

The official reports of killed and wound- ed in Friday’s fight are oot yet in, but estimates in the hospital here place the number at 1,800.

The continued exposure to the rain and heat, with the horrible strainof the lst and 2nd of Jaly, is telling on the men.

Nine hundred and forty~six wounded have been handled in the general hos- p-tal.

Lieutevant-Colonel Roosevelt has been recommendrd for a medal for bravery un~ der fire. Captain O’Neill was simalarly recommended, but he was afterwards killed.

ISINKING OF THE MERRIMAC.

the Exploit—Hobson’s Story.

Details of

In the course of an interview, with a or before Santigago, Lieut. Hobson, the hero of the Merrimac | tely released, said: “We have been thirty- three days in a Spanish prison,’ and the more I think aboot it the more marvellous it seems that we alive. It was about three o’clock in Je morning whe. the Merimack entered “he narrow channel and steamed under the guneof Morre Castle. The stillness of death pres vailed. It was se dark that we scarcely could see the headland. We had planned to drop our starboard anchor at a certain point io the right of the channel, reverse our engines, aud then ewing the Merrimac around, sinking her directly across the

channel. This plan was adhered to, but circumsiances rendered its execation impossible, When the

Merrimac poked her nose into the chan- ne] our troubles commenced. The deadly sileuce was broken by the wash of asmall boat approaching us from the shore. She rao close up under the stern of the Merrimac and fired several shots from what seemed to be three-pounder guns. The Merrimac’s rudder was carried away by this fire. This is why the col. lier was not sunk across the channel.

We did not discover the loss of the rud- der until Murphy cast anchor. We then found that the Merrimac wouid not

apsawer tothe helm,and we were com~ peiled to make the best of the situation.

The run upthe channel was very ¢x- citing. The picket boat had given the alarm, and in a moment the guns of the Vizcaya, the Almiranti Oquendo, and of the shore batteries were turned upon us, Submarine mines and torpedoes also were exploded all about us, adding to the ex- citement. The mines did no damage, although we could hear rumbling and could hear the ship tremble. We were running without lights and only the darkness saved us from utter destruction.

“When the ship was in the desired posi-~ tion, and it was found that the nidder was gone, I called the men on deck, While they were iaunching the catamara I touched off the explosives. At the same moment two torpedoes, fired by the Reina Mercedes, struck the Merrimac amidship. 1 cannot say whether our gun explosives or the Spanish torpedoes did the work. but the Merrimac was lifted out of the water and almost rent asunder. As she settled down we scrambled overboard and cut away the catamaran, a great cheer went up from the forts and warships as the bull of the collier foundered, the Cpaniards thinking that the Merrimac was ac American warship. We attempt~ ed to get out of the harbour in the catamaran, but a #trong tide was running, and daylight found us atill etrug~ gling in the water. Then, for the first time the Spaniards saw us and a boat trom the Reina Mercedes picked usup. It then was shortly after five o’clock in the worning, and we have been in the water more than an hour. We were taken abroad the Reina Mercedes and jater were vent to Morro Castle.

“In Morro we were confined in cells in the inner side of the fortress, and were there the first day the fleet bombarded Morro. I could only hear the whistling of the shells, and the noise they made when they struck, but I judged from the conversation of the gnards that the shells did considerable damage. After this bombardment, Mr. Ramsden, the British Conau) protested, aod we were removed to the hospital. There I was separated from the other men, in our crew, and could see them only by special per- mission. Montague and Kelly fell ill two weeks ago, suffering from malaria, and | was permitted to visit them twice. Mr. Rameden was very kind to us, and asked that Kelly be removed to better quarters in the hospital. ‘l’his was done.

“As for myself, there is littleto say. The Spanish were not disposed to do much for the comfort of any of the prisoners at first, but after our army had taken some of their men as prisoners our treatment was better. Food is scarce in the city, and I was told that we fared better than the Spanish officers.”
