CERVERA'S ' DASH A MISTAKE
iucb is the Opinion of Oaptain Clark of the
Battleship Oregon
GUTTLING OF SHIPS RANK TREACHERY
Joe * Nut Ilcllrve Spnnlnh Admiral
Ordered It Sinnlh |
Unatilo to Maintain
Their Sliced.
NEW YOUK , Aug. 20. "Cervera should
ave Btayed In Santiago harbor forever
athcr than come out the way he did , " was
he solemn remark of Captain Clark , lately
f the battleship Oregon ,
"The fleet was a fortress. With his guns
o could have driven the United States
rmy away from shore until such time as
L could mount ten-Inch guns to sink his
hips. He was master of the situation , nnd
hould have 'hung on' until every last mem-
icr ot his ship's crew died ot absolute
tarvation. Then would he have been a real
lero an eternal figure In history.
"Think of the chances In his favor. Yel-
ow fever might have como nnd
eclmatcd the American ranks , A
ale might have broken loose on the
Caribbean sea that would have scattered our
hips to the four winds of heaven , after
which Cervera could have sailed away with-
ut opposition and returned to his native
and undefeated. "
Captain Charles H. Clark , recently 'In
ommand of the battleship Orcgou , Is now
at the Marine hospital , wncre he proposes
o rest for n few days , until his family
hall have arrived from Michigan. Nobody
must infer Captain Clark Is an Invalid. Ho
s merely suffering from a temporary ail
ment , brought on by the local fever and
ong-contlnucd sea diet.
"What are the lessons of the Santiago
fight ? " he was asked.
"First , smokeless powder. Second , no
woodwork on war ships. The Spaniards
vcre burned up. "
"What Is your opinion about the scuttling
of the Spanish ships after their surrender ? "
"It was wrong and in violation of every
principle of good faith on the part of a
conquered foe , " replied the captain. "The
men who did those acts forfeited the right
o bo protected , and ought to have been
hot then and there. Scuttling a ship after
surrender is treachery. I do not believe
hat Admiral Cervera gave orders for any-
htng of the kind. No , no , he Is a gentle
man. Irresponsible men committed the out
rage. "
"How did the speed of the Spanish ships
n action compare with that promised by
their builders ? "
"The vessels certainly came out with a
rush and In fine style , " said Captain Clark ,
'but they failed to maintain their speed , ow-
ng to the Inefficiency of their stokers or the
neglected condition of their machinery.
That rush of Cervera's was really one of the
finest things of history and had the ships
divided , at least ono might have gotten
away. There was no premonitory symptom ,
not a sign that the fleet was coming. "

WATER SCARCE : AT HUNTSVILLE.
Camp of tlie Third Corp to Be Moved
to Aunlcton , Ala.
CHATTANOOGA , Tenn. , Aug. 26. It Is
announced this afternoon that it will be
practically Impossible to maintain the
Third army corps at Huntsvllle , where It
has been ordered to proceed from Chtck-
amauga. The Indications are that the corps
will be sent In Us entirety to Annlston ,
Ala. , a place said to be admirably adapted
for camping a largo body of troops. The
officials here have agreed upon the change
in plans and only await endorsement from
the war department.
The reason for the change Is scarcity of
water at Huntsvllle. General Frank , com
mander of the third corps , who returned to
day from Huntsvllle , states that the water
supply there would not bo sufficient for
the men already on. the ground and his
corps , and that the only way out of the dif
ficulty would be to put in a pumping sta
tion. This would cause a delay of about a
month and General Brecktnrldge deems a
delay at present very poor policy.
The statement published In a number o
papers during the last forty-eight hours tc
to the effect that GOO men have died at Camr
Thomas since Its establishment , Is wlthoui
foundation. Th'e number Is little more tbac

SPANISH TROOPS AT MANILA
Madrid Cabinet May Decide to Trans
port Soldier * to Vlaha * Inland *
Instead of Spain.
MADRID , Aug. 26. The cabinet was in
session again today. Senor Sogasta said the
government was principally occupied with
the position of the troops that had capltu-
ated at Manila. It would be better , he
thought , to transport them to the Vlsahas
islands than to bring them home , but the
question must bo decided by agreement with
the American government. It depended
upon whether or not the troops were con-
sldeied prisoners of war.
The army officers who arrived on the
steamer Alicante , which reached Corruna
on the 24th inst. , with the first ot the Span
ish repatriated soldiers , were given a ban
quet by representatives of the Madrid press.
Officers declare that both American and
Spanish nations adhered to , < thc methods
of c'vlllzed warfare throughout the cam
paign. They conceded the superiority of
American artillery.
The health of the troops which arrived in
the Alicante is already greatly improved.
To Arrange Manila Tariff.
HONG KONG , Aug. 26. Merchants here
express the hope that the United States
government will soon appoint an experienced
business man to arrange a tariff for Manila ,
nnd thus re'moro the difficulty which exists
over'ttio retention of the Spanish tariff. ' '
The family of Senor Cortez , on * of the
wcdfthfest' residents In the Philippines , will
return to Manila tomorrow , and Senor
Cortez will strive to recover his property
there , which was confiscated by the Span
ish , owing to the aid which he Is alleged
to have given to Agulnaldo. Senor Cortez
assured President McKlnley of his allegiance
to the United States , through Consul Gen
eral Wlldman , on May 6 , and he now trusts
ho will receive aid in recovering all his
property. He says the family mansion is
occupied by the Spanish commanders and
denies that ho gave aid , as alleged , to
Agulnaldo.
WELCOME AN INVESTIGATION
II n re an Officer * in War Department
Profea to Be Free from Fear
ot Reiulta.
WASHINGTON , Aug. 26. General Cor
bln , adjutant ceneral of the army , says no
complaint has reached the War department
from major general , brigadier general ,
colonel or men of the army regarding want
or destitution or lack of supplies for the
care of the troops. No demand has been
made for supplies other than the regular
requisitions for troops which come In the
ordinary routine way. General Corbln de
clined to be Interviewed on the subject of
the many stories afloat regarding destitu
tion and mismanagement of the war , eay-
Ing that the facts will come out in due
tlrnt and the people will see for themselves
what was done.
The whole department is greatly stirred
up over the many newspaper accounts of
what has been going on and It was the sub
ject of discussion everywhere about the
War department , but apparently each bead
of a bureau believes that an Investigation
of the subject will vindicate him and hlfl
department The officers In Washington say
that the accounts of suffering have been
exaggerated , but if there has been suf
fering further than the incidents
of war naturally would bring
about , the fault has not been with the
officers in the > depprtment here. Each offi
cer professes to be ready and willing that
there should bo an investigation. Some
officers says It will be necessary and wel
come a complete congressional Inquiry
which will bring out all the facts. No
official statement Is expected In the ab
sence of Secretary Alger , who will return
tomorrow.

LONDON , Aug. 27. The correspondent of
the Times at Manila , telegraphing Friday ,
says :
"Tho military government IsorklnR
efficiently In all departments. Local busi
ness Is being actively resumed. The water
orks are In operation and the Paslg river
Is open. Stringent measures have been
taken to insure the sanitation of the cita
del , which Is crowded with prisoners. The
abominably filthy condition of the Spanish
barracks Is a menace to the general health ,
which at present , however , Is excellent.
Among the American troops there have
been only seventeen' deaths from Illness
since landing. Twenty-three thousand
stands of arms , 10,000,000 cartridges and an
Immense quantity ( if largo ammunition
have been surrendered with nearly 15,000
prisoners.
"The Insurgents recently dispatched an
armed steamer with COO soldiers on board
for on unknown destination. Consequently
coastwise steamers mannc.d by Spanish sail
ors were afraid to venture out until assured
of the protection of the American fleet.
"It is Impossible to obtain Information
from the Interior except along the railways ,
where everything Is quiet. The rumors con
cerning Insurgent activity In the southern
part of the Island are credited here.
"Six hundred priests , Including 110 prisoners -
ers among the Insurgents , will depart , for
Hong Kong In charge of the Belgian consul
as soon as the transport can be procured. "

FOR THE N , JVS CREDITORS

.Million Ai-ri'H of I.and for
Their llcncllt.
MILWAUKEE , WIs. , Aug. 2t' . Special
Mnslcr Cary filed tv\o reports In the North
ern Pacific cases , which turn over -1,000,000
acres of land to tlie creditors of the road
niul slice off just that much from the pre
ferred stockholders.
The lands In question arc In Minnesota
and North Dakota , cast ot the Missouri
river. The holders of preferred stock laid
claim to them , holding their stock was n
first lien on the lands. Master Cary holds ,
however , that the preferred stock Is not n
flrst Hen on the lands , but the land should
bo held for all the creditors of the , road.
As those lauds are about all the available
nssctn of the road , the decision Is of Inter
est to everyone connected with the litigation
cither as a creditor or stockholder. If the
report Is confirmed by the court , the lands
will be turned over to the creditors ot the
company.
The report of the master questions the
right of the stockholders holding land rep
resenting $15.790,653 of the preferred stock
to those lands ns ngalnut the creditors ol
the Northern Pacific railroad company. j
