Victor Blue, whose deeds in t4 and around) Santiago have made him I - one of the best known officers in the b, American navy, by force of ciretm stances was compelled to spend the greater part of yesterday in Colum- t bin. Lieut. Blue came here from b Jack-ionville on his way to lpnd a t a two days' leave at his hemo in . . Marion, but missod connection and if had to remain over until the after- t noon train. His ship, the c! ptured d Spanish gunboat Alvarado, is now at i Jacksonvilie, whero she will take part in the peace jubilee of that city next wyeek. The first impression one iceives t of Lieut. Bluo is that he is a modest (nd thoroughly reliablo oflicr, like iso many others the United States has in their service, and the moro one talks with him the more cot firmued becomnes this impression. He makes one feel that woro he told to do an -impossible thing by a superior officer, he would try, anmd keep on trying with all his might util the inmpossi -bility of the feat became manifest to his commander or all the mi ains in his power weto exhausted. C - Lint. Blue told how he wa,s able ' H to penetrate the Spanish lines and got the information about Cervera's ~ fleet :for Admiral Sampson. Ac cording to his own account it was" * i simple enough matter. All one had to do was to land and t hen,-with I eor four gu idos sent out in ad. *vanelaaq out for-a point from whichi Santiago liarzior could be viewed. "It was not very hbard to elude the C Spanish," he said, "for we asked our wny. of the people ie o were friendly ~ to orir cause, aind when we came near C oiln of the Spanish out sts we would ~ take to the woods. It Avould have t K Iuilpild;e to ha4O a0b0f m dished hm at I did with any oth r enemy thani the Spaniards. They guarded e onliy the roads. I knew they wore too lazy to. put pickets q ut in, tihe a woods. It was in this way tilit I finally came to the top of a hill from ( which the whole harbor, with OCr- i vera's ships ly ing there,, was plainly ' to be seen. At tbo fodt of the~ hill 6 in easy rifle range was a camp of v -Spanirds, vhom we could -see mov. c ing al,'oat.r Lientg. Blue told whamt he biought I a goodt joke illustrative of the Span ish character, but few civilians would have so considered it had they been I in his pla1ce at the time. Manmzanillo i had been commanded, tunder peonalty I of bombardment, to surrender wvithin 1 three hours.

Fire was opened. The t ombardment was kept up for some m when the commodoro thought < a saw a flag of truce run up fromt I Io Spanish lines. He signalled 1 maso firing and ordered Lieut. Blue, 1 'ho was in command of the Alvarado, t > enter the )ar)or under flog of s .uce to see what was wanted. He s id so, but no sooner had be get well i nder the guns of the Spanish bat. L )ries than they opened a terrific fire. a 'he other vessels of the fleet stood y him and the engagement was t uite warm: Soon oftor the Spanish v .11 up the white lag (and botit word the fleet that the protocol had t een signed that day. That ended c io light. A few days after that t ,ient. Bino was talking to the Span ih officers who had participated in t lie fight and asked: "Why in the t ovil did you fellows fire on me when t was under a flg of truce"' I "Flag of truce!" they exclaimed, We did not see any flag of truce." "I hmlieve they were lying," con nued the lio utenant, "but. that is io wiay vitlh theimn. Tiey were mad rhon they saw it Spanish gunboat ying the Americani flag, amd wamted >sink her. Then t hey would all ave sworn t hey lhad not seen t he ag of truce." Lieut. Blue, who saw most of Ad iiral Samipson's b)onibar-dnm.ts of ~uban ports, was asked if a great eal of damage was done. It, was nggested1 to bon1 that the explosion~ f shells in land hatteriesi would look s if the whole earth wats being do troyed withbout really doing muchi amago. "Yes," he answered, "it dlid look a if the devil wais being pilayed with be batterios, but the only real eff'ect /as that t.he guns were dlismouittedl y their foundation being knocked romt undler them. Tlhe Spaniards rould r-nn away until the firing wvas ver and thea they would come bac1k uid set to wvork remountmng the guns. Ve made those poor- devils do0 a lot f work by knocking their batteries o peices anr' necessitating them put ing the guns back up." A gorieral dliscussion was had upon hoe value of torpedo boats in a naval ngageme'nt. HeI ex pressed the opin1 an'that several of them might copo) uccessfulIly with a siiigl battheshi p, int with, a floet they would ho pow rlose., g'hiy would also he valuable n attacking voss-els whose gunners tore no bet tgr maritksmou thani the 1panish.

Tolbert has received Governor Ellerbo's answer to his r telegram asking whether the Gover nor woul afford him protection from I 0mob violenco in returning to his d home at McCormick, S. C. Tho Governor's reply is regarded by Tol. t brt as a practical admission that! Ih ( Governor cannott afford him protc. f tion, atud, there-fore, it. is said, it is C L) not likely that he will jeopardizo his C lie by returning to his home iii the1 presont stato of excited feeling. Up to this timo no defilit.o plawn.. with rospect to the prosecution of the par tivilpants in th Ie iotons provo im"Ns against J. W. Tolbert, havo been do cided upon.
