Prisoners.
Washington, July <>.—Admiral Sampson lias been directed to send his
prisoners to the United States. Possibly the Harvard will bring some of
them.
The St. Louis is filled with wounded soldiers and cannot be used to
convey the Spanish sailors. The enlisted men and non-commissioned
officers among the prisoners will be sent to Portsmouth, N. H., where
they will be confined on Seavis Island iu the harbor. Orders for the im
mediate preparation of that place for the reception of the prisoners are
going forward.
The commissioned officers, from Admiral Cervera himself down to the
ensigns, will be sent to Fort Warren, Boston harbor, where they will be
turned over to the army for safe keeping.
The war department today posts the following from General Shafter:
“Adjutant General, Washington : Camp Near Santiago, July 5.—I am
just in receipt of a letter from General Soul, probably Toral, agreeing to
exchange Hobson and meu here, to make exchange in the morniug. Yes
terday he refused my proposition of exchange.
"SHAFTER, Maj. Gen.”
No farther advices have been received regarding the proposed exchange
and department officials do not know that it has yet been made.
SCHLEY IS THE HERO-
PELAY0 IS INJURED.
Persons troubled with diarrhoea will
be interested in the experience of Mr
W. M. Bush, clerk of Hotel Dorrauce,
Providence, R. I. He says: "For sev
eral years I have been almost a constant
sufferer from diarrhoea, the frequent at
tacks completely prostrating nio and
rendering me unfit for my duties at this
hotel. About two years ago a traveling
salesman kindly gave me a small bottle
of Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy. Much to my sur
prise and delight its effects were imme
diate. Whenever I felt symptoms of
the disease I would fortify myself
agaiust the attack with a few doses of
this valuable remedy. The result has
been very satisfactory and almost com
plete relief from the affliction.” For

BLOOD BALM CO., Atlanta, Ga.
Washington, July 0.—It is said that
Cervera in running the blockade was
trying to carry out a brilliant coup he
had planned and that a half-hour’s mis
calculation frustrated his plans.
Shaftor’s telegram sent to the depart
meut Sunday shows that he was some
what rattled and he asked a conference
ou the shore with Sampson.
It is thought that Cervera got wind of
this aud that he then decided to make
bold dash for liberty, iu the meantime
his purpose being to capture Shafter
aud Sampson.
At the time of the dash Sampson was
eu route to the. place of conference but
had not reached the shore.
The Oregon first discovered the at
tempt and opened fire. Sampson im
mediately returned to his fleet and gave
chase.
The result was a brilliant achieve
ment of the American ships.
But suppose Cervera had delayed his
exit about a half au hour aud succeeded
iu picking up Shafter aud Sampsou on
the shore, who were comparatively un
protected, what would have been the
effect?
This view of the situation is being dis
cussed today, and it makes one shudder
to think of it.
It is also reported that Cervera made
his dash at the command of the Madrid
government upon the advice of Captain
General Blanco at Havana.
If this is trne, it. shows that Blanco
knew less of the Santiago situation than
Cervera.
Cervera’s ships were wholly protected
from the guns of Sampson’s fleet as long
as Morro was safe. Cervera’s principal
guns had been dismounted and used in
the fortification of Santiago.
His remaining guns were more valua
ble in the harhor than ou the open sea,
and it seems reasonable that his idea in
leaving the harbor was not to give bat
tle to Sampson, but to capture Shafter
and Sampson if he could and depend on
the speed of his vessels in distancing his
pursuers.
Failing iu the former he undertook
the latter and after an exciting chase he
and his surviving force were easily cap
tured.
It was a bold and daring thing, ad-
mirably planned but unfortunately ex
ecuted.
