WASHINGTON , Nov. 89. The bureau" .of
naval Intelligence itoday' Issued another .of
Its war series , thl * time , the "Baltics and
Capitulation of Santiago , do , Cuba , " by Lieu
tenant Jos * Miller y Tejelro , tha second In
command of the naval forces of tbe province
of Santiago de Cuba. - *
The writer was n eye witness ot most of
tbe events that he describes , and from bis
position .had access to official Information.
Th'e author began , according to bis own
statement , to keep art exact diary of every
event at Santiago , from the moment of tbe
appearance there ot Cervera'a fleet , , realizing ,
as 'ho ' says , that the Teasels were to bave a
mpst-powerful Influence on'tbe war. The
publication begins with a chapter . .entitled
"The-Two Fleets , " telling of ( the arrival'of
Centra's squadron on the 49th ot May and
of tbe disappointment ot the people , who
expected no lees than1 eight battleships In-
atead of five. He makes a comparison , very
carefully and'accurately of tba vessels ot
tbe two squadrons.
The lieutenant mentioned the fact that
provisions were very short , also that the
military , element of the province was nine
or ten months in arrears in. the'Payment of
consignments and. bad been living on credit
for some time. Everything was lacking
food , money , credit and very purchasing
resource was exhausted. What happened at
Santiago was true ot other places ID tha
Islands. ,
Handicapped forFrovUlon * .
He speaks ot the difficulties of-coaling and'
shows that the fleet was very badly sup
plied. Concerning the opinions as to why
the fleet did not go out , be refers to the
great Joy caused by Its arrival and then say *
that'the ships In the harbor were compelling
the enemy to sustain with superior force *
the blockade with all IU difficulties and dan
gers. It was not believed that tbe American
hips would expose themselves to serious
disaster or would forte anyone of tbe ports
which were being blockaded. The SpanltU
hips did not have to give battle In order
to obtain result * , and he says that It pro
vision * had not been wanting In Santiago and
tbe Spanish fleet had remained there , no one
oould tell to what extremes Impatience and
despair might not bave carried Admiral
Sampson.
Tbe movements ot tbe American fleet were
a puzzle to the Spaniard * , , a * they did not1
i know why they remained on watch all day
1 and disappeared at night- But It was supposed -
, posed the Americans were afraid , of the
destroyer * . Speaking ot the Merrlmac , be
ay * that "we at Santiago bavo not succeeded
In ascertaining definitely though It Is prob
ably knownInSpain .from American news
papers that are In the habit ot publishing
everything what was the real object that
tbe Merrlmao bad In view. "
I The arrival , pt'the army createdconslder-
' able consternation In Santiago and'consider-
' able ( peculation as to ; where tbe army would
land. Provision * were still running short
and It 1 * stated-that. If El Caney ahd Ban
Juan had not been taken the Spaniard *
would not have lost communication wltb the
cultivated region nor wauld tbe aqueduct
have been cut. The small number ot Bpau-
Ish forces made It Impossible to save those
position * . -He speaks ot tbe destructive work
ot . < th Vesuvius whenever , the bombs , fell
upon any point where there\were workp or
n . t , t , , .
At El Caney and San Jnaa.
Speaking ot the battle * ot El Caaey and
San Juafl be. say * tbe Americans , It must be
acknowledged , fought wltb truly admirable
courage and spirit. While 'the battles were
going on at El Caney and San Juau the
enemy sent forces against 'the whole Span
ish'tine tor the purpose , .uo doubt , .of har
assing the attapK. more , generally. . The .gas-

that Only 520 men defended El Caneyfor
ten hours and that 250 defended ! 8an Juan
for four hours. He speaks ofthe - lively
bombardment by sea and -land .on July 2
and the sortie of the Spanish fleeton July
8. 'He speaks of the action of 'the Span-
lib admiral as one of the grtateet'/acls / -of
valor. For some time the Spaniards did
not know whether they bad succeeded in
making their escape , but had been In
formed they had , and there 'Was great' 're' ' .

Tbe lieutenant gives considerable 'space '
to tho.navnl battle ; most of which' was takea
from persons who were saved from the Span
ish ships. The coolness and courage 'of
Admiral Cervera" are noted. The'fire ' of the
Spanish 'ships was said to have' been slow ,
while that of the American ships was
rery brisk. In discussing the disaster , he
says' that the loss of' the fleet had been
foretold' by all Its commanders , but public
opinion In the island of Cuba required the
presence bt the fleet In Cuban waters , The
sblpa 'had not been cleaned , ' were short ot
coal and not In good condition to' fight , '
The , fleet received definite orders'.from the
captain general -of Cuba to' leave Santiago ,
In'spite of Admiral Cervera's renionstrixnces.
He says the Spanish are proud of'the dis
aster ot Trafalgar on account of the'hero-
Ism of the navy , but the battle of Santiago
Is much more glorious.
The Mercedes was sunk In the narrow
part of the channel to prevent'the American
fleet from entering. At the time of the
surrender of the lty there were , 2,100 sick
and wounded soldiers of'the Spanish army. "
Lo e > . In- Attack * on { Santiago.
Tbe total losses in all the attacks on San
tiago are given as follows : Officers killed ,
18 ; men killed , 107officers ; wounded , 59 ;
men wounded , 556 ; prisoners and missing ,
7 officers and 116 men.
He closes the account of the naval battle
of Santiago , aaylng : "I 'have ' never
been able to understand the reason why
there was sent to the Island of Cuba a
fleet that was In'Tio manner able to cope
'
with' that of the.UnlteU , States , and which ,
therefore , could In no wise prevent the ships
ot the latter from blockading our ports
and controlling the sea ; but since It.vaa
sent , .without its arrival being able -to pre
vent the loss of the Island , owing to the
conditions prevailing , there , then it should
have been prevented from being destroyed ,
as it was , without resulting la any advan
tage whatever.
"The only way ot gaining advantage
would , have been , in my opinion , taking
advantage of the fact that all the hostile
ships were in Cuba , to send a few ships
of great speed , more or less well armed ,
to the commercial ports of the United States
and bombard themthough not very effect
ively. It Is probable that public opinion ,
especially ot these who did not participate
In the war , would have exacted the return '
of the ships , and then the Spanish fleet' ' (
could have left Santiago in perfect safety
and a catastrophe would , have been avoided
which baa brought us no advantage. At the
same time the. porta ot the island , freed
from the blockade , could have supplied
themselves with provisions ; and although
tbe final result would probably have been
the same , it would not .have been , so Imme
diate. "
Y.M. . C. A. Cnrreut Tople Club.
In the rooms of the Young Men's Chris

FRAYS ron IIEDATE : Q > . ALCOHOL.
Hat Firm BelieVea. that .Tax Should
Not Apply In Industrie * .
WASHINGTON ; Novl te. Argument was
begun in the United States supreme court
today In the case of R. Dunlap & Co. against
the United States , Involving the claim ot
this firm to a rebate on alcohol used by it
In the manufacture of hats as allowed by
the sixty-first section of the Wilson-Gorman
tariff law. "The- Argument was .begun for
Dunlap by George A. Wing , who contended
that the objection raised by the court' below
was without force and did not relieve the
government from the obligation to pay the
rebate. Ho argued that the object of the
Wllson-Oorrhan law was the reduction of
taxation , whereas the tax on spirits had
been Increased from 00 cents to $1.10 , con
trary to the spirit of the law as a whole.
This tax amounted to 900 per cent and was
made so onerous 'because ' of the use of
eplrlta as a beverage , and while this might
be legitimate the same reason could not be
'supposed ' to hold good In the use of alcohol
In the arts and Industries , which , bo said ,
It Is our policy-to foster and not to dis
courage. The .hearing waa continued.

Newfoundland was about to make Its own
| treaty with the United Slates and that this
met with such protest frnm the Canadian

LONDON , Nov. 29. The Contemporary
Review , Just Issued , contains a sensational
anonymous article entitled "Tho Arch
enemy of England. " This Is the German
emperor. The writer alleges that the kalnur
seized Kale Chau by an agreement with
Hu&sla to prevent England getting It , and
the czar holds bU personal promUo to va
cate It when called upon , Hussla provldiug
Germany with coaling stations eltewheie.
The writer declare * Ihe ka.sor hail drawn
up a complete plan arranging tor the naval
superiority1 Trance , Russia and Germany
over 'Kngland four" years hence , w'jcu Eng
land Is compelled to make huinl.latlnc term
throughout the world , leaving German ) Un
commercial power.
All those plans have suddenly betn
thrown Into confusion by the American-
SpanUh war and America nnd KtigiaJd
drawing together. The article , wlil.li Is
sure to attract attention for IU cxlrnodlu.t.y >
attack upon the qucen'n graudiou , cont.talcs :
Tuu American po-i.lc , with chawctei title
shrewdnc38 , have aett-cttd this' \Uti ) resent
ment and hostility , and art ; in no ruooj to
put up with bioulie..ln , . ' from . 'iiy mi :

supplied nnd an a vrtion of HIP claim to
have a voice In It lian been mmlo , ( her > will
be no drawing back or hesitation In pushing
matters to a ciucluilon.
It la precisely In the fpr east that the ac
tion the meru presence of the United
States IB so ( llsconcertliiK nnd disagreeable
to the German emperor. It disarranges all
his plans , deprives hlnjpelf and allies of that
ascendancy In the China seas which the ,
have twice , asserted for their own , benefit ,
and from \\hlch they saw a long tratii of
future advantages.
Under , such circumstances the continued
proximity of American ami German squad
rons , at Manila , aggravated by the dcmenum
of the German officers. Is full ot peril. The
peril may pass off , .but will only do so by
the withdrawal ot. .Germany's pretcuulons.
At this moment the question turns on
whether the German emperor cftn Induce
Russia and Prance to Join him In a demon
stration of superior naval force to that pos
sessed by the United States , both In thi >
Pacific and the Atlantic , and the answer to
that question largely depends on whether
bo or the ciar' of RUssla , between them ,
can exerclfee sufficient personal pressure In
England to Induce our government In re
turn for some empty concesnlon In Africa ,
some costly broken promises as to China , to
hold Its hand , to hesitate for the necessary
moment , while they , enforce their will on
the United. States. This Is to 'be the real
pnrll to the creation' ot a real Anglo-Saxon
alliance.
Prom the very beginning of the crisis in
the far east the English policy has donn
nothing but hesitate nnd give way , has al
lowed and- assisted the creation of difficul
ties that never would have arisen .had Eng
land only stood firm at the beginning ot
the. question.
There now appears on the scene In a to
tally' unexpected manner one ally who could
adjust the balance of power In the far onst
In our favor. It Is obviously to our Interest
to support' that power with all our strength
and make every effort BO that It h ll not
be discouraged and restrainedon the thresh
old of the .new and beneficial movement It
Is making toward a more active 'external
policy.4 y ' * '
