One Man Killen in the American Squadron
Kingston, Jamaica, July 6.?A news?
paper dispatch boat just arrived from
the fleet ten miles west of the entrance
of the harbor of Santiago de Cuba,
brings the following story of the de?
struction of Admiral C,ervera's fleet:
Admiral Cervera's fleet, consisting of
the armored cruisers Cristobal Colon,
Almlrante Oquendo. Infanta Marla Te?
resa and Vlzcaya and two torpedo boat
destroyers, the Furor and the Pluton,
which had been held In the harbor of
Santiago de Cuba for six weeks past
by the combined squadrons of Rear Ad?
miral Sampson and Commodore Schley,
Iles today st the bottom of the Carib?
bean sea off the coast of Cuba. The
Spanish admiral ls a prisoner of war
on the auxiliary gunboat Gloucester
(formerly Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan's
yacht Corsslr), snd 1.G00 to 1.700 other
Spanish officers and sailors, all who es?
caped the frightful carnage caused by
the shells from the American war?
ships, are held as prisoners of war by
the United States navy. Tie Span
isrds, when they found they would be
permitted to live, adapted themselves
comfortably to the situation, rolled
their cigarettes and began playing
cards among themselves.
The American victory ls complete,
snd, according to the best Information
obtainable at this time, the American
vessels were practically untouched, and
only one man was killed, though thc
ships were subjected to the heavy flr<
of the Spaniards all the time the battle
lasted.
Admiral Cervera made ss gallant t

For an hour or two they followed th
flying Spaniards to the westward alon
the shore line, sending shot after sho
into their biasing hulls, tearing grea
holes In their steel sides and coverln
their decks with the blood of the kille
and wounded.
At no time did the Spaniards sho^

They showed no signals to surrende
even when their ships began to slnl
and the great clouds of smoke poui
lng from their sides showed they wei
on fire. But they turned their head
toward the shore, less than a mi!
away, and ran them on the beach an
rocks, where their destruction was soc
completed. The officers and eien c
board then escaped to the shore i
well as they could, with the assistant
of boats sent from tbe American mei
of-war, and then threw themselvi
upon the mercy of their captors, wi
sent them a guard tp protect the
from the murderous bands of Cubj
soldiers hiding in the bush in the hi]

ships became the victims of the awf
rain of shells which the American be
tleships, cruisers and gunboats pour
upon them, and two hours after t
first of tbe fleet had started out

o him:
"I congratulate you, slr, upon hav

vitr.essed on the sea"
Lieutenant Commander Wainwright
then placed his cabin at the disposal
*>f tho Spanish officers.
The Cristobal Colon was the fastest
cf the Spanish ships, and she soon ob?
tained a lead over the others after
leaving the harbor and escaped tho
effect of the shots which destroyed the
other vessels. She steamed away at
great tptmA. with the Oregon. New
York, Brooklyn and several other ships
In pursuit, all of them firing at her
constantly and receiving fire them?
selves from her after guns. She was
finally overtaken, and surrendered to
the Brooklyn, but was so badly dam?
aged that she was beached to prevent
her sinking.
The most dramatic feature of the
battle was the contest between the tor?
pedo boat destroyers and the Glouces?
ter. The latter was struck several
times, and is the only American ves?
sel reported damaged. At first the
Gloucester fired "ron them with her
six pounders, but they ran past her
and engaged the battleships. Finding
the fire too hot. they turned and at
I the Gloucester again until both
yers vee afire and had to be
beached. Their crews threw themselves
irto thc surf to save their lives. Just
before thia the New York came up and
assisted In giving tho finish blow to
the destroyers. There was explosion
after explosion from the beached ves?
sels.
In addition to Admiral Cervera all
commanding officers excepting those of
the Oquendo. about 70 other officers
and 1.600 men, are prisoners. About
350 were killed or drowned and 160"
wounded, the latter being cared for on
the Solace and Olivette. Only one
American Bailor was killed. He was
George H. Ellis, chief yeoman of the
Brooklyn.
It ls learned authoritatively that
tremendous pressure is being brought
to bear upon the Spanish commander
of Santiago by the foreign consuls
resident in the city to induce him, in
the interests of humanity, to sur?
render to the inevitable. The consuls
have communicated with their borne
governments, and lt is believed here
that representations will be made by
them to Spain to Induce her to permit
the city to surrender, thereby pre?
venting further loss of life and prop?
erty. What the result of these nego?
tiations may be cannot be foretold.
The opinion expressed by war officials
ls that the Spaniards will fight to ths
last, and capitulate only when they
are forced to do so. For that reason
any delay of offensive action against
the city ls not regarded in army circles
with favor.

who now calls on you. the name of your
fsture husband, and the day, month
aud year of your marriage, how many
children you have or will have ; wheth?
er your present sweetheart will be true
to you and if he will marry you; if
yoa have no sweetheart she will tell
jou when you will have and his name,
business and date of acquaintance. All
your future will be told in an honest
cl jar and plain manner and in a dead
trance. Mothers should know the suc?
cess of their husbands and children
young ladies should know everything
about their sweethearts or intended
husband. Do not kees company, mar
ry or go into business until you know
sll, do not let silly religious scruple;
prevent your consulting.
Madame is the only one in the work
who ean tell you the FULL NAME o
your future husband, with age anc
date of marriage, and tells whethe:
the one you love is true or false.
There are some persons who believi
thst there is no truth to be gsined fron
consulting s Medium, but such belief
sre contrsry to the truth. It ls onl;
from the lsck of discrimination tha
such s conclusion can be reached, I
is not every one who placards himsel
or herself as a medium that can stan
a test of what he or she claims.
And a person of sn enquiring min
msy sskthe reason why. It is simpl
thst these sdvisers do not take th
trouble to study huo-an nature. The
do not spend their thoughts for a mo
m :nt with acquiring the art of phasi
ology and kindred branches that wi
have a tendency to make the pathwa
to the r,>ad of the business clear an
devoid o'all obstacles.
It is an undeniable fact that persor
will come for advice in full knowledg
of what they want to know, and yt
as soon as they confront a Medium the
try their utmost endeavor to disp<
from their minds what they know so t
to hear if it will be rehearsed by th
Medium. To get the secret out ol
person by "pumping" in no few cast
is the art used by many unprinoiple
mediums, but to take hold of the hes
and gain control of the mind thereby
a matter of impossibility to most i
them. And yet this can be done ar
by consulting Mrs, Marth the seemir
mystery becomes a realization.
This subject has received no litt
attention by eminent men and eve
college professors. So it proves coi
elusively that although there are ii
fringers in our midst with oily tongul
Eerhapg the gates of wisdom have n<
een closed to the entire profession.
It takes a great deal of study to b
come an accomplished medium and I
a continuous and untiring effort, tl
key to ths well of apparently unfatho
able mysteries hss been secused I
