Only a Pew on the Colon
Were Killed.
Goantanaroo, Monday, July 4, 6 p
m, per the Associated Press Dis?
patch ?oat Dandy, via Kingston, Ja.,
Joly 6, 6 p. m., (delayed in trans
mission) -The steamer Resolute ar?
rived to day with 508 prisoners, in
eluding 18 of the officers and crew
of the Spanish croiser Cristobal Col?
on The disposition of the prisoners
bas not yet been decided on The
number of killed and wounded on
the Cristobal Colon was very small
Officers of the American vessels
which were in pursuit of her say that
ag it was a question of only a short
time when the Cristobal Colon should
be compelled to surrender or ron
ashore they ceased firing on her, and
only three of her crew killed (all
sailors) and 13 were wounded
Before running their ship ashore
and hoisting the white flag, the Span
lards opened the Kingston valves on
board the Colon and threw overboard !
the breechlocks of every gun incl od
ing those of their Mauser rifles
The captured Spaniards were re
markably cheerful The < Seers say
they had nothing to est for 24 hours
bef?te 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'ured
sailors still showed the effects of
drinkiwhen put on beard the Reso
lute
The Spanish officers say the order
to sail was given by the ministry of
marine at Madrid and they decided
to make an attempt to escape on
Saturday night, bot it was postponed
until Sunday morning for the reason
that "quarters inspection'* would be
held at that time and the Americans
would not be at their guns
None of the Spaniards expected
to be alive at noon on Sunday be
lieving the destruction of the fleet to
be certain Most of their valuables
were put on the Cristobal Colon, the
fastest boat of the Spanish fleet and
everything was done to give her the
best opportunity to escape
The Spanish officers profess great
admiration for the American ships,
especially the Brooklyn New Yotk
and Oregon.
The Spanish prisoners siy that if
the Americans had pressed the iand
forces much longer the ^pauiards
wi uld have been compelled to sur
render as ?he troops were completely
worn out

there, were surrendered by the Span
i=h military authorities today io ex?
change for prisoners captured by the
American forces
The place selected for the exchange

mile beyond the entrenchments occupied
by Col. Wood's Rough Riders, near
Geo Wheeler's headquarters, and io
the centre of the American line.
Tbe Amerioao prisoners left the

bat very formal, and no attempt was
made by either of them to discuss any

Major Irles waa given bis choice of
three Spaoisb lieutenants in exchange
for Hobson, and was also informed
that he could bave ali of the fourteen
men in exchange for the American
sailors. The Spaoish officer selected
Lieut Aried, and the other two Span?
ish officers were oouduoted hack to
Juragua
It ?as then not later tbao 4 o'clock,
..od ja?*t a* everything was finished
and tbe -two partied were separating
Major Irles turned and ?aid courteous j

the impression that, be desired hostili?
ties tn be rene ?ed at once :
* Oar ucder*tfcudu)g is gentlemen . !
that 'hi* truce come to ao end ar 5 j

FROM FOOT TO KNEE
Ohio Woman Suffered Great Agony
From a Terrible Sore-Her Story of
the Casa, and Her Cure.
" For many years I was afflicted with a
milk leg, and a few years ago it broke out
in a sore and spread from my foot to my
knee. I suffered great agony. It would
burn and itch all the time and discharge
a great deal. My health was good with
the exception of this sore. I tried a great
taany kinds of salve, but some would
irritate the sore GO that I could hardly
stand the pain. I could not go near the
fire without suffering intensely. Some one
sent me papers containing testimonials of
cures by Hood's Sarsaparilla, and I told
my husband I would like to try this med?
icine. He got nie a bottle and I found it
helped me. I kept on taking it until my
limb was completely healed. I cannot
praise Hood's Sarsaparilla enough for the
great benefit it has been to mc. It
cleanses the blood of all impurities and
leaves it rich and pure." Mrw3. AXXA E.
