BLANCO HEARS THE MEWS
CERVERA S CRUSHING DEFEAT

Attempts to Commit Suicide But Is

Key West. Fla. Special According
to advices received from Havana. Gov
ernor General Blanco threatened to
commit suicide when he learned that
Cervera's fleet was annihilated. Long

Joy in Havana partook of the nature
of a festival.
When the news of the defeat came
out it was discredited unti final con

public and private building was hung

THE DOOMED CITY.
Santiago Surrounded by American
Troops. .
With the Army Before Santiago (via
Playa del Este. Cuba) Taking the
shape of a gigantic semicircle the
American army extends around San
tiago for eight miles and touches the
bay on our side of the city. General
Lawton's division, on the extreme right
..f ih n nn v was nushed forward yes
terday. It now practically rests on
the shore of the bay west or Santiago.
.!- trmini harp ocrunied the western
suburbs and are ready to dash into
the city itself. The Spanish fell back
sullenlv before our advance and retired
without firing. The importance of
strengthening General Lawton's posi
t..n io now fullv nnnreciated. and all
the reinforcements which are arriving
are being sent to his aid. One of the
first regiments ordered to the right
wing was the Seventy-first of New
York, which had been engaged in road
building for several days. It took a
position on the El Caney road on the
o.ivnr.ii iinv The First Illinois reg
iment and the District of Columbia
troops were also sent to the support of
General Lawton. Several batteries
w hich have Just reached here have also
been placed on the right. This Is by
far the best position for them, as the
batteries may be so planted upon the
hills as to command the greater part
of the city and enfilade the Spanish
trenches.
This massing of our troops on the
right Indicates that our final attack
will be made there. The Spanish lines
are undoubtedly weakest at that point
and the topography of the country is
favorable for the advance of the Amer
ican troops. Many of the advanced
Spanish trenches have already been
abandoned, for the firing of our troops
on Saturday and Sunday made it too
hot for the Spaniards. They were lying
flat In the bottom of the ditches to
escape the withering American fire.
From General Lawton's lines a clear
view of the harbor of Santiago may
be obtained. Large ships ride at an
chor, steamers lie at the piers and a
torpedob oat sometimes hurries over
the landlocked waters.
MARKED FOR DESTRUCTION.
Many of the Cubans now with Gen
eral Garcia were formerly residents of
Santiago. They are familiar with the
fortified buildings of the cUy. as well
as the vulnerable points. They caned
attention to an ice factory and an eleo
fric f lighting plant. Both have been
marked for destruction when the bom-
bardmtnt reopens.

CAIMENES OCCUPIED.
Positions for new batteries were se
lected by General Randolphs chief of
staff, and the artillery in position was
inspected. The village of Calmenes a
suburb of Santiago, was occupied by
our troops on Monday. General Toral
has evidently withdrawn the greater
part of his forces into the city proper
for the purpose of resisting the main
attack from trenches in the streets and
from loopholed buildings.
The last act of General Shafter be
fore the arrival of General Miles was
to demand the unconditional surrender
of Santiago. He received no answer
from the Spanish. Fighting will be re
sumed as soon as General Miles has
looke dover the ground The Spanish
believe the Americans do not attack
because they fear foreign intervention.
The main blockhouse Jit outside the
city has been destroyed. A six-Inch
gun which the Spaniard were using
was dismounted and smashed to flin
deife. The Spanish fire was poor. Their
shrapnel was old ana useless anu
nt Tt,iodi. It had evidently been
lying in arsenals for years.
What might have proved a ?f,r,"3
mistake was made by the First Illinois
regiment upon its arrival at the front.
It fired upon the outpost of the rough
riders, which It mistook for the enemy.
The Illinois men discovered their rror.
however, before any damage was done.

quest, emerged from the hospital build
ing, were greeted by applause and ad
vanced to a position in front of the
first battalion, where they were met
by Lieutenant Duff and the regimental
band. Lieutenant Colonel Vifquain gave the
command to salute and every hand re
mained up until Lieutenant Duff had
administered the oath to the colonel,
the chaplain, the acting hospital stew
ard and the band.
Quiet fittingly reigned long enough
for the spectators to catch the mighty
significance of what they had seen,
and then the band began to play and
the soldiers to parade.
Soon they began to pass in review
before the governor and the now full
fledged colonel, every man giving the
salute as he passed. The scene was an
imposing one. and the passing of each
company seemed to add to the enthus
iasm of the multitude. Cheers were
given the companies appearing in citi
zens clothes, probably because It took
more courage to appear that way.
After being reviewed by the governor
and the colonel the regimental drill
continued until the boys had been on
the ground two hours and were wet
with perspiration.
Lieutenant Colonel Vifquain and the
men under him managed the men with
great skill, and many complimentary
romnrks were made, both as to the
fine appearance of the men and their
precision in drill.

It is a part of the general system of

6ENERAL GRANT'S METHOD
HOW HE WOULD HAVE CON
DUCTED THIS WAR.
There Would Have Been No Delay
His Great Maxim was "Forward I
No Rest for the Enemy I" Was
Always Practical.
How would Grant have prosecuted
the Cuban war? Read the record. His
own matchless account of his cam
paigns tells the story.
When a possible conflict with Eng
land was once discussed with friends
Grant said:
"f wonlrl instantlv Strllro frnm Tto-
troit and other strategic points. If
oiiri man laucu iu lapiuie canauu in
thirty days I would cashier him from
the army."

of strategy recalls Grant's experiences.
TTVnm tho V ho. tnolT Plimmanil at
Cairo, the greatest fight of his life was
not against ine conieuerates, out
against Halleck with his strategists.
Grant's maxim was, "Forward! No rest
for the enemy!"
Who could imagine Grant allowing

"Rapid movements and the acquisi

fast as transportation was obtained to
carry them to their destination.
"Providence ruled differently. Time

"I promptly Informed the department

Grant added that unless otherwise
ordered he would go to ruasnvme im

His zeal and genius were rewarded
by this letter from Halleck:
"It will be better to retreat than to
risk a general battle. Avoid any general
An iro orovnont vlth atfonC frtPTeS."
When Halleck reversed all of Grant's
plaris for a decisive movement and tele
graphed the government in Washing
ton: "Grant's army seems to be as much
demoralized by the victory of Fort Don
elson as was that of the " Potomac by
defeat of Bull Run."
Grant had gone to Nashville to look
over the situation and arrange for mov
ing forward his army and capturing
the city. It did not please the strate
gists. General C. F. Smith was put
in charge of Grant's command by Hal.
leek's orders, but happily Lincoln re
versed the order.
DIDN'T LIKE VICKSBURG.
Again, after the battle of Vicksburg,
which made Grant famous throughout
the world, it being achieved by violat
ing all the rules of strategy and book
warfare, and the routing of the regular
confederate forces for more than 100
miles in every direction, Grant says: above Fishing island. The big liner left

Important xoints might be captured
without bloodshed. I suggested to the
commander-in-chief the Idea of a cam
paign against Mobile, starting- from
Lake Pontchartrain. Halleck proposed
another course. So I
was obliged to settle down and see my
self put again on the defensive as I had
been a year before in the west Tennes
see. It would have been an easy thing
to capture Mobile at the time I pro
posed to go there. Having that as a
Iioko of onorntions troons could have
been thrown into the interior to oper
ate against Bragg's army. This would
necessarily have compelled liragg to
detach in order to meet this fire on
his rear. If he had not done this the
troops from Mobile could have inflicted
inestimable damage nnon much of the
country from which his army and Lee's
were receiving tneir supplies, au my
urgent requests were refused, when re
newed. "Tho cenornl-ln-fViiof hnvlnc decideil

VICTORY OVER STRATEGY AT
LAST.
TVi a ABii1f t (ha araar A lea tra t rt
Rosecrans, following the refusal of Gen
eral Halleck to accept urant s sugges
tions, alarmed the government. At last
General Grant's glorious star was about
;o rise resplendent in tne heavens. At
ast the government, like McKinley to
day, resolved to substitute victory for
strategy.
General Badeau says: "It was deter
mined to give Grant almost absolute
control of the forces In operation west
of the Alleghanles." The situation was
o serious that Secretary Stanton Joui
neyed from Washington expressly to
meet Grant (for the first time) and con-
.' r with him as to the he-st wav of
saving tne army anu ine union., ine
lisaster wnicn iiosecrans naa sunereu

ind the course suggested by Grant ror
nearly a year before finally was forced
ujion the government and accepted by
the powers at Washirgton.

armies and great movements all hM

Cruiser St. Louis Brings In a Load
of Prisoners to be Put Off at
Seavey's Island -Cervera's Brave
Words.
Portsmouth. N. II.. July V . The
auxiliary cruiser St. Louis, with 746
Spanish soldiers, including fifty-four
officers, arrived in Portsmouth harbor
at 8:30 yesterday morning, and a few
minutes later dropped ancnor just
ernoon, July 5, and did not make a
stop until she dropped anchor in Ports
mouth harbor.
Including the prisoners there were
1,030 people on the boat, and of this
number there are ninety-one sick and
wounded Spaniards under the care of
surgeons.
A.lmlml fprvprn Is confinfil to his
cabin, having been quite ill for the last
three days, although he was able to be
dressed this morning. Captain Eulate,
who was commander of the Vizcaya,
and is among the prisoners. Is also
quite ill, having been wounded In the
head during the battle on Santiago.
At -ir. tho tiior A. W. Chesterton
drew alongside the St. Louis with
Health Officer F. S. Towie. wno went
on board.
He made a thorough examination of
the vessel, visited all of the sick and
rmmil that mout of the sickness was
due to wounds received during the bat
tle, or from exposure.
aii tho Srnnisili commissioned offi
cers have been on parole and had the
freedom of the ship, with one excep
tion, and he was tne governor 01 an-
t f n tri rip rnha. who was trying to es
cape from the city on Admiral Cer
vera'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 re
mainder of the prisoners are connneu
between decks and closely guarded. A
detachment of twenty-eight marines
from the United States ship Brooklyn,
under Lieutenant Bordan. and twenty-
one marines from the United States
ship Marbiehead were put aboard the
St. Louis when sne lett ior ine noun
to guard the prisoners, btft they had
little or no trouble with the men.
Admiral Cervera remained In his
cabin during the trip. Health Officer
Towle visited him and was warmly
greeted. He shook hands with the
health officer and In good English said
he was situated very pleasantly on
the boat and had received nothing but
the kindest and most considerate
treatment from both officers and men
ever since he had been taken prisoner.
He had not been feeling well for
the last three or four days, but ex
pected to be all right in a short time.
He presents the appearance of a
broken-hearted man and keenly feels
the loss of his fleet, containing the
pick of the Spanish navy. The crew
of the St. Louis have had nothing
whatever to do with the prisoners
since they came aboard and have been
kept as far away from them as pos
sible. There are a number of Spanish sur
geons on board who have taken good
care of the sick and wounded pris
oners. There are about forty of the
latter, the remainder being ill from
the effects of exposure and the rain
.luring the battle. No one is allowed
on board the prison ship and none ot
the officers or crew are allowed on
shore. .
At 11:15 the flrst officer of the St.
ruis, Ensign Payne, came to the navy
yard to officially notify Admiral Car-
opt" of the arrival of the prisoners.

On the way up from Santiago a
number of the Spanish seamen said
that they had enough of fighting, at
least with the Yankees.
Admiral Cervera's stay at the hotel
will be short, as the St. Louis will soon
leave for Annapolis.
The St. Louis came up from Santiago
with less than 800 tons of coal, and the
economy of coal consumption was the
