The I'Tcneli steamer Lu Ihiurgogne. Onu of the ('.uni1 iguie ' S?riit*ralo Trans Atlantique Liners, with -7.~> souls on hoard, en route from New York to Havre Kranee, wan run down by the iron sailing ship Cromarlyshirc, :oxty miles ^mitli of Sable Islands, near the coast <>f Nova Scotia, during the early morning of July I. and sunk within half an hour, carrying with her over live hundred of her passengers and row. The balance, who wen- not drawn down by the fearful suction, struggled arid fought for lif'1 until one hundred and sixty-three wen* at length rescued from death by the crew of the Cromartyshirc, which ship survived the collision. A thick fog prevailed at the time of the disaster. The Spanish prisoners, about ?100 in number, including Til Spanish officers, reached Portsmouth, N. II., last Sun Jay morning. Admiral Ccrvera and Captain Kulate, who was commander f the Vizcaya, were among the offi ers. Admiral Ccrvera had been ill <or the past three days, but felt better uuring the day, and was interviewed, lie speaks good Mnglish. 'How do I like America? 1 answer you that I have always liked, and I may say. loved your people, but thia war has been a duty with me and the men un der me. 1 knew that the American fleet clearly outclassed us, but it was a question of fighting either inside or outside the harbor. I have many frionds in America, and have only the kindliest feelings for them, but every man has a duty to perform to his country and all Spaniards tried to porform that duty. There has been much feeling in Spain and I want all Spain to know tho truth, that every ship of my squadron fought until the last, and when wo could do no more, we surrendered. I have much inter eat to know the exact situation in Spain. Capt. Goodrich has treated us at well as anyone could possibly be treated. My officers have occupied quarters in the saloon and we cannot complain." Admiral Ccrvera will not. howovor, remain at Portsmouth long. As soon as tho enlisted men are land ed in the quarters prepared for them, ho, with the officers of his squadron, exoept the surgeons, who will be left with the men, will bo sont to Annapo lis to be confined within the limits of the Naval Academy Reservation. The bringing of Admiral Cervora to the United States does not signify that the proposition to parolo him has been finally dismissed. It has simply been postponed for a time. It is very prob able that he will be more comfortable hero until tho feeling of unnatural re sentment displayed against him in Spain has subsided. Ninety-one of the prisoners wore aiok, but it was found that most of the sickness was duo to wounds. Thero is no evidenoe <*f yellow fever or other contagious diseases. HAWAII ANNEXED. The Davis -Newlauds 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 Houso on Juno 15 by a vote of 2()!> to 91. There wore no changes made iu the Senate, the various amendments being voted down, the purpose being to avoid having the resolution referred back to the House. On Thursday, precisely at7o'clock, while surrounded by Mrs. McKinley and several officials, tho President af fixed to the resolutions these words which made them a law: "Approved July 7, 18D8. "William MoKinlkt." Tho existing civil organization will continue until the live commissioners appointed by the President coiupleto a system of organization and put it into effect. The Commissioners named by tie President are Senator Cullom, of Illi nois; Senator Morgan, of Alabama; Representative Ilitt, of Illinois; San jTofu Dole, prcsiuODt of tue Hawaiian ropnblio, and W. F. F rear, 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 the Army and Navy opened fire almost simultaneously. The Brooklyn planted fifteen five-inch shells, the Texas ftcven twelve-inch aud three six inch shells and the Indi ana sent a number of eight-inch shells over a steep hill into tho enemy's iine. The fire lasted ono hour The laud artillery shelled the Spanish en trenchments for some time. The fir ing was opened shortly after four o'clock by a shell from the eastern batteries of Santiago, and was answer ed back from Ca pro n's iron-throated monsters, which soon silenced the Spanish guns. No news of a decided engagement has been received up to ??. . v..4-1 i. _.. v?,..? ????:.,??t bUlO uui' , uui* ........ m? ........ through the cable oflicer.s that the fir ing was resumed yesterday morning at lay break. General Shatter is reported iih say ing, "I shall not he surprised il we i have Santiago in three days General Toral offered to *ui;r<-1; 1 r j Santiago provided the Spanish garri son were allowed to mandi om with hide arm-, and have twenty mis start without molestation: agreeing also not to destroy tli<- ships i.'i the hay. am munition in the forts or the buildings in tin-i i(y. I'ul, acting under I'rcsi deitl McKinley'.s instructions, General Shafter notified General T ?ral thai the I'lilted States would accept no | terms but immediate and uncondition al surrender. General Toral rejected this proposal, adding that lie would discuss no other terms than those suggested by himself. He was then ; notified by <?cticr.nl Shafter that the j armistice would terminate and hostili ties he resumed at -I o'clock. The casualties in the engagement Sunday afternoon, as reported by (?eneral Shafter, are two killed and four wounded. ( encrai Shafter s fighting strength at present is 22,850 men, and it will be swelled to 25,000 by the middle of this week. The men are reported in excellent health. The fear is expressed among officials at Washington that during the armis tice a majority of the Spanish soldiers escaped, after looting the houses of refugees; that Shafter permitted ' e parleying to last too long, thus afford ing an opportunity for escape with 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 r .'sources, and have been badly misled as to it? 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 1805 Cuba's wealth was estima ted in round numbers at $850,000,000, und 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 whioh 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 -coidt line measures 2,200 miles,'and 200 sheltered landiojs in dent it, forty of which are accessible to ships of the largest sise. With 200 rivers traversing its soil and giving its interior places direot water communi cation with the ooean harbors, the possibilities whioh this rich island, so near our own shores, holds out, is marvelous. In 1804 Cuba's produc tion of stvjar aggregated 1,052,214 tons. Sinoo that time, on account of demoralization caused by hostilities, it has not been so gr?a*. Next to sugar, the tobacco crop in Cuba reaches annually, under normal conditions, 560,000 b^es, or about 60,000,000 pounds. In addition to semi-tropical fruits of every kind pro duced in abundance, Cuba possesses rare mineral deposits, auoh as gold, silver, iron, copper and manganese, and the timber resources are unsur passcd.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 averugo temperature is 82 degrees Fahrenheit in summer and 72 degrees in winter, and while yellow fever is 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 he putting it too strong to say that Cuba, under proper sani tary cautions, would be ..ie gardea spot of the world. Recurring to the sagar crop of Cu ba, the following tablo will show the purchases whioh each country has made of sugar siaoe 1888: Year. United States. Spain. 1888. $34,546,259 $4,202,610 1880. 30,227,489 4,006,769 1890. 35,420,50? 0,230,192 1891. 45.039,518 4,397,037 1892. 00.838.7G5 5,875.788 1993. 00,637,070 1,032.410 1894. 63,147,766 2,424,990 1805 . 40,100,!?04 2,150.4m 1K90. 24,102,835 1,317,890 In 1806 tho five largest consumers of Cuba? tobacco crop mum: pur chases as follows: United Statos, $12, 601,748; Germany, $2,231,750; Spain, $1,872,587: Kngland, $830,483; France, $511,123. Thus it appears in regard to the tobacco crop, as well as in regard to the sugar output, this country monopolized the great bulk of Cuba's exports. All this being truo, when the pres ent war is ended, Cuba will offer to this country one of the riohest fi dds on tho globe for commercial and in dustrial enterprises, whether it bo as an independent couutry or as a new star in tho galaxy of States of the United States. It is rumored in Washington that Santiago has surrendered, hut 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 Santiago- The Deluge. London, duly II.?A special di-> patch from Madrid says: All the talk of pe;.ce ?ceins, up to the present, to have led to no tangible results. No doubt tin- government would wel come an opportunity to negotiate di-. rectly with the United States were the signs propitious, hut t here are so many circumstances to he considered that it looks as though the policy of drift ami waiting for something to turn up would continue until Santiago has fallen. "The fall (if 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 rea .y in circulation to the effect that the war is virtually coded atid that the Government has actually opened peace negotiations, but they caunotbe verified. "A detailed ueeount 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 infl uces to bear in favor of peace. "Everyday 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; inuuicipal 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 have been distributed throughout Spain, and it is attracting considerable attention. "Tho whole of Admiral Camara's squadron, with the exception of the I'elayo and the San Austin, which arc awaiting at 1'ort Said for a transfer of coal, is now en route for Spain." -ca m>- mi ? The Rev. S. F. Chapman, of Cov ington, Va., has been commissioned by the President chaplain of the 1th regiment, United States volunteers, Infantry, now being formed at Fred erioksburg. Mr. Chapman was a cap tain in Col. Moaby'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.
