I GERriAN KALI WORKS, j 93 Nassau St.. New York. THROUGH SPANISH LINKS. ! Lieutenant lilue Describes His Journey. At the banquet. of the Saint i Andrew's Society Wednesday ; night, after all the speeches had i been made, there \va? :t gt neral demand that Lieut. Victor Blue should tell of lis memorable journey through the Spanish lines at < Santiago. The story has been 11 written more than once, and|< ,every one knows of the signal service the gallant young South Carolinian rendered the country ( by risking his lite to dot-Truine ' | beyond dispute whether <>r not;, Cervera's lleet was in the harhnr. i, * but it will all have a new signifi-' cance when repeated hv Lieutenant Blue himself and in his own words. He told of his trip with' the aamo straight'orwar?lness and modesty that have so greatly attracted every one since he has been in Charleston, lie said: "When it was finally thought ' that we had h eat-d (Vrvera's \ ; fleet itl the harhnr Santiago it was not deliint -l, .nv\ n that all of them were then. At lirsf we'felt sure of it, hut we got a good ', many reports from different parts 1 . of the Cohan coast that cunboats i had sighted Spanish cruisers; European newspapers had pub-1] /^shed, as a fact, that all of (Vr- I ^yera's lleet was not in Santiago i # harbor. There was a little uneasi- i ? ness felt, and linally the navy do- ; partment telegraphed to Admiral ( Sampson to lind out definitely. |' That was the re son of my poin<r. | My Koine, however, was simply a ; mere accident. I happened ton be on hand when the Admiral I wanted this information, and happening to be at tIn- rdaoe. and ! hearing about it. I put in ;t word | to go myself, and was ordered to , take the duty.
