The French steamer La Bourgogne, one of the Campagnie Generale Trans Atlantique Liners, with 275 souls on hoard, en route from New York to Havre, France, was run down by the iron sailing ship Cromartyshire, sixty . miles south of Sable Islands, near the eoast of Nova Scotia, during the early morning of July 4, and sunk within half an hour, carrying with her over five hundred of her passengers and trew. The balance, who were not drawn down by the fearful suction, struggled and fought for life until one hundred and sixty-three were at length rescued from death by the crew of the Cromartyshire, which ship survived the collision. A thick fog prevailed at the time of the disaster. The Spanish prisoners, about 400 in somber, including 54 Spanish officers, reached Portsmouth, N. H., last Sun day morning. Admiral Cervera and Captain Enlate, who was commander ?? the Vizcaya, were among the offi ters. Admiral Cervera had been ill for the past three days, but felt better - daring the day, and was interviewed. He speaks good English: :<How do I like America? I answer you that I hare always liked, and I may say, loved your people, bnt this war has been- a duty with me and the men un der me. I knew that the American fleet clearly outclassed us, but it was a question of fighting either inside or outside the harbor. I have many friends in America, and hare only the kindliest feelings for them, but every Man has a duty to perform to his country and all Spaniards tried to perform that duty. There has been mach feeling in Spain and I want all Spain to know the truth, that every ship of my squadron fought until the last, and when we could do no more, we surrendered. I have much inter est to know the exact situation in s Spain. Capt. Goodrich has treated us aa well as anyone could possibly be treated. My officers have occupied quarters in the saloon and we cannot complain. " Admiral Cervera will not. i however, remain at Portsmouth long'. Ai soon as the enlisted men are land ed in the quarters prepared for them, he, with the officers of his squadron, except the surgeons, who will be left with the men, will be sent to Annapo lis to be confined within the limits of thc Naval Academy Reservation. The bringing of Admiral Cervera to the United States does not signify that tko proposition to parole him has been finally dismissed. It has simply been postponed for a time. It is very prob able that he will be more comfortable here until the feeling of unnatural re sentment displayed against him in Spain has subsided. Ninety-one of the prisoners were sick, but it was found that most of the sickness was doc to wounds. There is no evidence of yellow fever or other contagious diseases. HAWAII ANNEXED. The Davis-Newlands joint resolu tion providing for the annexation of the Hawaiian Islands passed the Sen ate last Wednesday by a two-thirds vote, 42 to 21, and the resolution adopted is the same which passed the House on June 15 by a vote of 209 to 91. There were no changes made in the Senate, the various amendments teing voted down, the purpose being to avoid having the resolution referred back to the House. On Thursday, precisely at 7 o'clock, while surrounded by Mrs. McKinley and several officials, the President af fixed to the resolutions these words which made them a law: "Approved July 7, 1898. "WILLIAM MCKINLEY" The existing civil organization will continue until the five commissioners appointed by the President complete a system of organization and put it into effect. The Commissioners named by the President are Senator Cullom, of Illi nois; Senator Morgan, of Alabama; Representative Hitt, of Illinois; San ford Dole, president of the Hawaiian republic, and W. F. Frear, one of the Supreme Court Judges of Hawaii. SANTIAGO BOMBARDMENT. The truce at Santiago ended and the long-expected bombardment was re sumed last Sunday afternoon. By a pre-arranged plan thc Army and Navy opened fire almost simultaneously. The Brooklyn planted fifteen five-inch shells, thc Texas seven twelve-inch and three six-inch shells and the Indi ana sent a number of eight-inch shells over a steep hill into the enemy's line. The fire lasted one hour. The lind artillery shelled the Spanish en trenchments for some time. Thc fir ing was opened shortly after four o'clock by a shell from the eastern batteries of Santiago, and was answer ed back from Capron's iron-throated monsters, which soon silenced thc Spanish gum. No news of a decide engagement has been received up 1 this time, but word has been receive through the cable officers that the fi ing was resumed yesterday morning ; daybreak. General Shafter is reported as sa} ing, "I shall not be surprised if w have Santiago in three days." General Toral offered to surrend( Santiago provided the Spanish garr son were allowed to march out wit side arms and have twenty miles stai without molestation : agreeing also nc to destroy the ships in the bay, au munition in the forts or the building in the city. But, acting under Pres dent McKinley's instructions, (Jenen Shafter notified General Toral tha the United States would accept n terms but immediate and unconditior: al surrender. General Toral rejecte this proposal, adding that he woul discuss no other terms than thos suggested by himself. He was the notified by General Shafter that th armistice .would terminate and hos ti J ities be resumed at 4 o'clock. The casualties in the engagemen Sunday afternoon, as reported b; General Shafter, are two killed am four wounded. General Shafters fighting streng tl at present is 22,850 men, and it wil be swelled to 25,000 by the middle o this week. The men are reported ii excellent health. The fear is expressed among official, at Washington that during the armis tice a majority of the Spanish soldier escaped, after looting the houses o: refugees; that Shafter permitted thc parleying to last too long, thus afford ing an opportunity for escape witt arms and provisions. CUBA. Most of our readers have, perhaps, a pretty clear knowledge of the geo graphical characteristics of Cuba, but know little of its wonderful resources, and have been badly misled as to its climate and fitness for inhabitation. The following information obtained from a reliable source cannot fail to impress one with the fact that no country on the globe presents a richer field for commercial and industrial en terprise, nor offers a more promising opening to the young men of America. Up to 1895 Cuba's wealth was estima ted in round numbers at $850,000,000, and she managed to pay annually into Spain's treasury the enormous tribute of $30,000,000. Cuba contains 35, 000,000 acres of land, of which only 2,000,000 acres are under cultivation, 9,000,000 acres being natural pastures. 17,000,000 acres original forest areas, and the balance, 7,000,000 acres, waste tracts. Cuba's ?coast line measures 2,200 miles,fand 200 sheltered landings in dent it, forty of which are accessible to ships of the largest siie. With 200 rivers traversing its soil and giving its interior places direot water communi cation with the ocean harbors, the possibilities which this rich island, so near our own shores, holds out, is marvelous. In 1894 Cuba's produc tion of sugar aggregated 1,052,214 tons. Sinoe that time, on account of demoralization caused by hostilities, it has not been so great. Next to sugar, the tobaeco crop in Cuba reaches annually, under normal conditions, 560,000 bales, or about 60,000,000 pounds. In addition to semi-tropical fruits of every kind pro duced in abundanoe, Cuba possesses rare mineral deposits, suoh as gold, silver, iron, copper and manganese, and the timber resources are unsur passed.by any country on earth. The popular notion now prevailing in regard t> the climate of Cuba is that it is oppressive, and that yellow fever prevails in every part of the is land the year round. This notion is decidedly erroneous. The average j temperature .is 82 degrees Fahrenheit in summer and 72 degrees in winter, and while yellow fever ii prevalent in the coast cities during summer, due to the lack of proper sanitary cautions, it is unknown in winter, and seldom, if ever, known in the interior. It would hardly be putting it too strong to say that Cuba, under proper sani tary cautions, would be the garde? spot of the world. Recurring to the sigar crop of Cu ba, the following table will show the purchases which each country has made of sugar si ace 1888: Year. United States.

Thus it appears in regard to thc tobacco crop, as well as in regard to thc sugar output, this country monopolized thc great bulk of Cuba's exports. All this being true, when thc pres ent war is ended, Cuba will offer to this country one of the richest ti ?Ids on thc globe for commercial and in dustrial enterprises, whether it be as an independent country or as a new star in thc galaxy of States of the United States. It is rumored in Washington that I Santiago has surrendered, but officials have no direct information to that effect. The only information received was announcing a new truce and the General's confidence in an early sur render. After Sautiago-The Deluge. London. July ll.-A special dis patch from Madrid says: "All thc talk of peace seems, up to the present, to have led to no tangible results. No doubt the government would wel come an opportunity to negotiate di-, rectly with the Uuited States were the signs propitious, but there are so many circumstances to be considered that it looks as though the policy of drift and waiting for something to turn up would continue until Santiago has fallen. "The fall of Santiago will convince the most sanguine of the hopelessness of the struggle, and will give the Gov ernment the desired opportunity at least to suggest an armistice for the consideration of terms. "Circumstantial statements are al ready in circulation to the effect that thc war is virtually ended and that the Government has actually opened peace negotiations, but they cannot be verified. "A detailed account has been pub lished of Spain's naval losses-21 war ships and 21 merchantmen, as against practically no losses on the American side. This tends to convince the most rabid war advocates, and, as for a long time past, the whole commercial and industrial interests of Spain are bring ing strong influences to bear in favor of peace. "Every day that passes without dis turbances strengthens the peaoe party. It is believed, however, that there is a strong undercurrent in favor of con tinuing the war, and the attitude of the Carlists and - Republicans causes anxiety. A mysterious black-edged, unsigned manifesto appeared in the leading squares of Madrid to-day, (Sun day,) bearing the muuicipal stamp and headed Gloria Victis, with an angel supporting a dead, naked soldier. The manifesto contains an eloquent appeal from Spanish mothers, calling for the regeneration of the country on the basis of the army, and crying: 'Down with bribed politicians and a bought press.' Four million copies of this manifesto haye been distributed throughout Spain, and it is attracting considerable attention. "The whole of Admiral Camara's squadron, with the exception of the Pelayo and the San Austin, which are awaiting at Port Said for a transfer of coal, is now en route for Spain." - The Rev. S. F. Chapman, of Cov ington, Va., has been commissioned by the President chaplain of the 4th regiment, United States volunteers, Infantry, now being formed at Fred erieksburg. Mr. Chapman was a cap tain in Col. Mosby's command during the civil war, and was distinguished for bravery and dash. - Col. William Young, of the 2d regiment of engineers, is a son of Brigham Young and a former regular army officer, having graduated with high honors in the class of '75, at West Point. He served in the engi neer ?orps until Utah was admitted as a State. Then he resigned in the hope of being elected United States Senator, but was defeated. He has since resided in Salt Lake City until he volunteered for service in the pres ent var.
