Madrid, July 5, —There are
, rejoicings over Admiral
G< vera’s quitting the harbor of
I Santiago, but there is an under
cerrent of great anxiety as to nisi
fate.
It is considered preferable j
that he should even succumb to
Admiral Sampson’s 'superior
forces than remain to be sunk
by Gen. Shafter’s artillery.
Gen. Blanco cables as follows :
‘•No details have been receiv
-ladas to naval fight, hut it is
; rumored tha? Admiral Cevera
j reached a port of Southern Cu
i ba ”
It is officially announced that
the last vessels of Admiral Cam
ara’s squadron have passed the
Suez canal.
An official dispatch from San .
tiago de Cuba says:
“Admiral Cevera’s fleet sus-|
jtained for an hour the fire of the
| American ileet. It then disap
peared Westward, followed by
I the American squadron. Wedost!
• two torpedo boat destroyers.”
The dispatch then announces j
I as follows :
“To Gen. Shafter’s demand
. for the surrender of the city,
' expiring at 10 o’clock the next
i morning, the Spanish com
mander replied :
“ ‘lt is my duty to defend the
place to the end.’ ”
The ministers hn leaving the;
cabinet council said they knew j
nothing of Admiral Cevera’s
j squadron further than'the dis
patch revealed. Li ut. Gen. Cor
rea, minister of war, said he be-J
lieved Admiral Cevera had gone '
to Havana.
An oflicial dispatch announc
es that the Manzanillo column
of 6.000 men with a large quan-1
tity of supplies has reached
Santiago de Cuba. It is believ
ed that directly Admira’. Cevi ra
heard these re-enforceme its ''
were at hand he considered the
presence of the squadron no
linger necessary.
Gen. Shafter’s brief and sol
| dier-like dispatch about the
lighting before Santiago, waich
agrees in every particular with'
the Spadish oflicial telegrams,
has made a ”ery favorable im
pression here, especially in mii
i itary circles.
NEW MAN.
“I was a sufferer from dys
| pepsia, gout and rheumatism,
caused by impure blood. I tried
| various medicines, but obtained 1
I no relief until I began taking
