Washington, July 9.?The follow ing cablegram was received from Ad miral Sampson to-day: Playa del Este, July 8.?Secretary of the Navy, Washington: Prelimi nary report from board ordered to ex amine wrecks states that wrecking ap pliances should be gotten here imme diately. Think there is no doubt about saving Vizoaya, Maria Teresa and Cristobal Colon if haste be made. Colon ia much the most valuable, be ing in perfect order. Would recom mend most powerful appliances be sent at once. The department had already arrang ed with the Merritt-Cbapman Wreck ing Company to undertake the salvage of these vessels, and two of the vessels of that company are now on their way to Santiago. As Sampson'e dispatch makes out a muoh stronger possibility of saving the sbips,than was supposed, a copy of it has been seut to the con tractors, with the request to hasten the work and to be prepared to send additional assistance if it be found necessary. ? The Japanese postoffice depart ment takes extraordinary trouble to deliver mail matter. For instance, a Hong Kong newspaper was sent to Yokohoma on April 15, and marked "Not found," bnt when returned to the sender it had tags attached to it, each tag containing a redirection. Now for Porto Rico. Y/A8MNUTON, July 4.?With Ccr vera's fleet disposed of, and tho fall of Santiago a matter of a few days, pos sibly hours only, the attention of the military administration is dirceted anow to the in\\.:*ion of Puerto Rico, as the next logical step in the aggres sive movement against Spain. The destruction of the enemy's squadron in the harbor of Santiago, which took everybody by surprise yesterday, was not in itself au unex pected event. It had been counted on as the inevitable outcome of the Santiago campaign. Only in the methods of its accomplishment was it a surprise. Likewise, the capture of the city has been one of the features of all p uding military calculations. Now that it is imminent, no change in those plans is contemplated. A change would be ueeessary if General Shafter should fail to take the town. Other wise, tho program laid out when the Santiago campaign was beguu will be oarried out. Ouly a cry of "Hold, enough," from Spain can serve to in terrupt it. Tho program calls for the fitting out for the invasion and occupation of Pue? in Rico of the most formidable expedition this country has yet sent against Spain. For the purpose of this expedition all the transports used for the first Santiago force, as well as all those secured since, will be availa ble. Instead of having only enough ships to carry 15,000 men, the war de partment will by that time be prepar ed to transport at one trip fully 80,000 men, iuuiudiog full complements of cavalry a ad artillery. With no Span ish shi"- worth mentioning on the seas, there will be no difficulty about convoys, and the entire armored fleet will be ready to co-operate in the at tack on.the fortifications. With tho whole volunteer army to pick from, there will be no scarcity of men to make up the expeditionary force. Tampa will, it is expected, be the main point of embarkation. San tiago will be the halfway station be tween the Florida port and San Juan. The regulars, who have won fame and glory in the fighting before Santiago, will be withdrawn from there after the surrender of the city, and made the backbone of the army which goes to Puerto Rico. A force of volunteers, it is expect ed, will be left in Santiago to hold the place and attend to what Spanish forces may remain in the province. The hurrying of more troops to Gene ral Shafter is in reality, therefore, the beginning of th .nove on San Juan. The war department says that General Shafter, with the Spanish fleet out of the way, and the improved condition of his own lines, is likely not to need the new regiments they are sending him. Nevertheless, the dispatching of the additional troops to Santiago as reinforcements will make it possible to organize the Puerto Rico foree al most without the enemy knowing it. This work, it is expected, will be done largely at Santiago. Major-Gen. Miles, who has arranged to go to San tiago as soon as news of General Shaf ter's illnesB was received yesterday morning, found his plans somewhat altered by the sudden change in the situation there, and to-day he said that he would leave in a few days "for Spanish territory." Whether Santia go or San Juan is his destination, the general commanding the army would not say. The expedition in army cir cles, however, is that G?nerai Miles will go to Santiago, not to take the command of the forces there out of the hands of General Shafter, bnt to superintend the dispatching from that g)int of the army intended for Puerto ieo. This army, as has been before stated in these dispatches, will be un der the direct command of General Brooke, whose First corps will in part compose it. Talk of the immediate invasion and bombardment of Havana is dismissed as out of the question by the war ad ministration. It is pointed out that fully 100,000 men will be needed for an effective land attack on Havana, and that the government no more has that many men ready now than it had a month ago. Besides, it is doubted if an attaok on Havana would do as mnoh toward convincing Spain of the necessity of suing for peace as the capture of Puerto Rico. It is pointed out that the Spaniards have, moBt of them, counted on losing Cuba from the outset of the war, so that the cap ture of (he island would not necessa rily bring them to terms. On the other hand, it is urged that the seizure of another rich possessiou which they had not dreamed of losing might have the desired effect. More over, it is recognized by the President and his advisers that the question that produced the present war will never bo settled until Spain is driven, not only out of the island of Cuba, where her chief misdeeds have been done, but out of the West Indies. This, it ?n believed, can be done most easily and effectually by dsiving her out of Puerto Rico first. With American troops in possession of the island, it is felt that its status, when a treaty of peace comes to be signed, can be the more easily settled in accordance with our wishes. With the war department hurrying troops nominally to Santiago, but really to Puerto Rico, the second act in the war drama.may be said to have begun. Nobody here doubts that it will be shorter than the first, and the finale will be just as decisive a viotory for the American arms. ? All the flags for British ships of war, except the royal standards, are maue in the government dockyards, ! and the enormous nnmfer required : may be judged from the faet that in I the eolor loft at Chatham alone about 118,000 flags are made in a year. Secret of Cerrera's Dash. Guantanamo, Monday, July 4, ? p. m., by the Associated Press Dis- 1 patch Boat Dandy, via Kingston, Ja- I uiaica, July l>, 6 p. in.?The steamer ' Resolute arrived to day with 508 pris oners including 18 of the officers and < crew of the Spanish cruiser Cristobal i Colon. The disposition of the prison- j ers has not yet been decided on. The i number of killed and wounded ou the i Cristobal Colon was very small. Offi- i cere of the American vessels which were in pursuit of her say that as it i was a question of only a short time when the Cristobal Colon should be compelled to surrender or run ashore, they ceased firing on her, and only threo of her crew were killed (all sail ors) and thirteen were wounded. He fore running their ship ashore and hoisting the white flag the Spaniards opened the Kingston valves on board the Colon and threw overboard the breech blocks of every gun, including those of their Mauser rifles. The captured Spaniards were re markably cheerful. The officers say they had nothing' to eat for twenty four hours before the destruction of the fleet, and in order to get the men to their posts large amounts of liquor were given out. Many of the cap tured sailors still showed the effects of drink when put on board the Reso lute. The Spanish officers say that order to sail was given by the ministry of murine at Madrid, and they decided to make an attempt to escape on Satur day night, but it was postponed until Sunday morning for the reason that "quarters inspection" would bo held at that time, and tho Americans would not be at their guns. None of the Spaniards expected to be alive at uoon on Sunday, believing the destruction of the fleet to be certain. Most of their valuables were put on the Cris tobal Colon, the fastest boat of the fleet, and everything was done to give her the best opportunity to escape. The Spanish officers profess great admiration for the American Bhips, especially the Brooklyn, New York and Oregon. The Spanish prisoners say that if the Americans had pressed the land forces much longer the Span iards would have been compelled to surrender, as the troops were com pletely worn out. Washington, July 7 ?The war de partment has received the report of Admiral Cervera to (ten. Bianco on the disastrous naval fight to tho Span ish cause off Santiago. It is as fol lows: To the General-in-Chief, Havana: In compliance with your orders I wrnt out yesterday from Santiago de Cuba with all the squadron, and ufter an unequal combat, against forces more than triple mine, had all my squadron destroyed by fire, tho Teresa, Oquen do and Vizcaya beached, and tho Co lon fleeing. 1 accordingly informed the Americans and went ashore and gave myself up. The torpedo chasers foundered. I do not know bow many I were lost, but it will surely reach six hundred dead and many wounded. Al I though not in such great numbers the living are prisoners of the Americans. ! The conduct of tho crews rose to a height that won the most enthusiastic plaudits of the enemy. The comman ! der of the Vizcaya surrendered his j vessel. His crew are very grateful for the noble gene osity with which they ! are treated. Among the dead is Vil lamil and, I believe, Lasaga, (spelling uncertain,) and among the wounded I Concas and Bulate. We have lost all, ; and are necessarily depressed. CSRVIRA. Remarkaile Instance of an Animal's Devotion. G Lund a lb, S. C, July 7.?There has been a strange and pathetie in stance rf a dog's devotion to a child at Clifton. K. E. Chapman had a boy baby a year old and it became sick five weeks ago and grew worse and weaker all the ; time. Sometimes it would go two or three days without eating anything, and it fell off to almost skin and bone and died. Mr. Chapman also owned a large pointer dog, whioh from the first had showed a most intense love for the baby. When the ehild was taken sick tho dog would lie by the cradle and watch day and night. When the baby re fused to eat the dog would not eat. When the ehild grew restless the dog would put his forefeet on the cradle and groan and apparently mourn over the child's sickness just as one of the family would. As the child could not eat neither would the dog. The dog fell away to skin and bone and died about the same time the child did. Both child and dog lived five weeks after they were taken sick.? Green ville Netc$. ?* From Generai Shaf?er's final offi cial report we are able to speak with some certainty of the louses at Santi ago. The total loss is 1.593 men, of whom there were 230 killed in all, 1. 284 wounded and 79 missing. Con sidering the number of men engaged and the character of the fighting this is a light loss, and much less than we had any reason to expect, but the pro portion of killed ib large while not un usually so by any means.

CHENEY A CO., Toledo, o ?ajBold by Druagiata, 75c An Adir?es to tho Prohibitionists. The following ban just been issued t>y the Chairman of tho State Prohi bition Committee: Vo tho Prohibitionists of the State: The politicians of our party have ione everything in their power to keep us from presenting our claims to the honest Democratic votors in the pri mary. No one, familiar with the treatment we have received, can fail to detect the hand of the politician in the work tlru has been done, and to say that we have been treated unfair ly expresses it mildly. Wo asked and were given permission, by the State Democratic Executive Committee, to suggest a State ticket, to bo voted for in the coining primary, in order to give the people an opportunity to say whether they should have prohibition or whether the State should continue to sell whiskey as a beverage through tho dispensary. Not willing to give the people a chance to express their preference at the ballot box without attempting to forestall their action, the State Con vention, controlled by the politicians, who are using the dispensary for their political advancement, without sub mitting the question to the County Conventions, which elected the dele gates who endorsed the dispensary, and elected a State Executive Com mittee, who, when the question was asked them, whether the suggested candidates of the prohibitionists could take the constitutional pledge, replied "that as BUggocted candidates they could not, but as individual Demo crats thev could." Tins forced us, in order to conform to party law, to withdraw our candi dates. This we submit was another advantage the party took of us, and showed that they feared a fair test before the voters on this question, and that they have never hoped to defeat us by fair tactics, but have been de pending upon the political pull the machinery of the dispensary would give them to prevent the Democratic party redeeming the pledge they made the prohibition Democrats in 1892. Yet I am still convinced that the people of this State want prohibition; that they, of all people, believe in fair play, and that there is not enough power on earth to make them bow to the demands of the whiskey element, it does not make any difference what form it presents itself in?the dispen sary or high license. It has ruled and ruined the State too long to expect support from the solid people of this State, and when they express them sulves at the coming primary tho poli ticians will find that they have disre garded their /ishes already too long. How humiliating it is to see tho gov ernor of a great State, a member of the church, bowing to whiskey, in or der to be nominated; Col. Watson, who claims to be a prohibitionist, bowing to the worst element of tho dispensary in order to get office; Col. Archer and G. Walt Whitman ditto. Col. Georgo Tillman and Col. Schum pert, who are advocating high license, sro more eoasisient than they are, tud Mr. Featherstono, who takes the side of home and principle, is a character that men who differ with him will have confidence in and respect. This is the fight. The combined whiskey element against prohibition, and we appeal to the Democratic vo ters to say who shall rule the State, the whiskey element or the Christian people. See that men are voted for in every County that, when elected, will give the people what the Democrats promised to give them in 1832, and have not kept their pledge?prohibi tion. Yours very truly, A. C. Jonbb. Newberry, S. C? July &, 1898. ? A serious cutting scrape took plaoe at Walker's Cross Roads, in Greenville county, last Friday. Mrs. Julia Holcombe and her husband bad a "falling out" about some domestic matters. Mrs. Msthis, winter of Mr. Holcombe, took sides with her broth er, and the two women had hot words, followed by blows. Mrs. Mathis drew a knife and drove the blade into Mrs. Holeomb's left breast, making a fear ful wound, whioh the attending phy sician fears may prove fatal. All th parties are respectable people and .4 well conneoted. ? During a thunder storm in Aiken county, a bolt of lightning struck the house of Mr. Norrell Heath. Run ning down the chimney, the holt knocked Mr. Heath backwards to the Boor, burning his arm and leg. Two of his children were sitting at a table, while a dog and cat were lying under neath. Both of the children were knooked down and seorched, the dog and cat being killed. A hole was knocked through the top and bottom of the coffee pot, and the whole family were shocked. ?

Thcu a fleet and an army of iavasioa operated against Veia Cruz by joiut bombardment and lauding foncs near by, and after reducing that fort (the Santiago of the time,) began the march on the capital of Mexico, which occu pied strategically the military situ ation that now Havana holds. Doubt less the history of 1898 will repeat that of 1847 by the capture of Havana by military soie nee as Mexico was cap tured by storming parties. Castle Morro is not so impregnable as was Chapultepee. ? According to the new city direc tory, Chicago has now a population of 1,893,(109. This is an increase of 65,000 over the ligures for 18!>7.
