BRAVEST ARE THE TENDEREST. The Story of the Buttle With Cervcra's Ships Off Santiago. The fullest official history ever written of a naval battle, probably, is that to be found in the May number of the Century Magazine, in which each cf the captains of American vessels gives the story of his part iu the battle with Cervera's ships. In addition to tho report of the fighting there are thrilling and patholic pictures of tho reception of the distinguished prisoners on different ships, and it ail breathes the air oi'manliness ami courtesy, giving color to the teutimcnt, "The bravest are tho ten. " Ir~? ? i ' * Al'Jirj JO nu CAUaii'- 1IUUI Capt. "Fighting Bob" Evans' story : "As iho boat approached the gang, wsy I raw Captain Eulate was woundid, And a chair was eluug and lowered Ivr i is sccoumu dalion. Aa iho boat lay ut the gangway she presented a spec.tc 10 that could bo seen only iu w.r, and rarely then, I imagine.' 'H ere was a loot of water iu her bolt< in, ft.d iu this rolled two dead mcu, tixisbly torn to pieces by fragments ] < 1 el ell.-; tl o water was red with their ' I lood. In iho stcrn-shcotu sat Cap. ' ? i.i Eidate, supported by one of orr s ?*ei cadvi.; and about hi3 feet hy live or six wounded Spanish toilets. As tho uufortunate caplaiu was raised i over the side, and the cliair ou which he eat placed ou tho quarter deck, tho guard presented arn.s, the ofiicer of tho deck ealuted, aud the Spanish ' prisoners already ou hoard stood M attention. Captain Eulate slowly 1 straightened himself up, and with Rn ' effort unbuckled his sword-belt, k'Sscd I the hilt of the sword, and a with a graceful bow presented it to c mp. 1 declined the sword, but accept* c ~d tho surrender of liims^lt\ officer a c and crew as prisoners to Admiral t 8auipsoi), in command of the AmerN r can fleet. The crew of the Iowa most of them stripped to the waist, black- o ened with powder and covered with e perspiration, crowded over the alter- Jj turrets and superstructure, aud, na I v declined the sword of the Spanish j c captain, broke out iuto riuging cheers." Captain Evens, a liulo later 011, j ti also received Admiral Cervcra on ti board tuo Iowa, and ha gives the fol- e: lowing account of the honors paid the b defeated admiral: tl "All preparations w re made to re ceivo the admiral with the honors due b his rauk. The full rnuriuo guard ot t< eighty men was paraded ; officers { mustered on the starboard side of the h 'quarter-deck ; the officers and mir of the Yizcaya were at ranged on the uj pert side of the quarter-deck ; and the , h crew of the Iowa, just as they came ' ?< out of battle, clustered over the tur- J ti rets and supers!ruclure. Captain j i? .Wainwright personally accompanied j tho admiral. The guard presented ti arms ; tho officers uncovered ; the bug. C les rang out their flourishes; and as w the distinguished officer, who had lest more in one hour than any other man w has lost in modern times, stepped on it the quarter-deck, the crew of the Iowa ei broke out iuto cheers, and for fully a a minute Admiral Cervera stood bow iDg his thanks. It was the rccogni- cl lion of gallautry by bravo nieu, aud a the recipieut of it was fully awaro of its meaning. Though he was scantly ?' clad, bareheaded, aud without shoes, he was an admiral, every inch of him. I" With perfect composure and a man- C ncr of quiet dignity he received the plaudits of his late enemies and the silent sympathy of bis conquered v companions." ^ Another instance of that brave con. a eiJf ration lor tne leenngs 01 ineir conquered enemy which was expressed in thebluntcommand of Captain Phillips, ' Don't cheer, boys, the poor devils are dying," is set forth in Cap'.ain Cook's v story. The Brooklyn had chased iho ? Colon 50 miles to the west, and it was ' moonlight when she steamed back to ) the anchorage in front%>f .Santiago 0 harbor. Captain Cook says: * "Wo then steamed down to the Iowa, and found her crew also on deck r awaiting news. We were hailed and ( the same inquiry was made. When ? we told them of the fate of the Colon, * there was some clapping of hands and H a stir of voices, but no cheering, and we were immediately informed that 1 Admiral Cervera was on board, and 1 many Spanish wou ided. Our men 1 were standing roady for a cheer, but 1 unon hearing this uew3 there was re- 1 spectful silence, not only because they hail loarncd that there were suffering ' wounded on board tho Iowa, but be- 1 cause overy man knew the nobility 1 displayed by Admiral Cervera in the treatment of Hobson and his men, and 1 they thus recognized it. Commodore Hchley went on board and paid his 1 respects to Admiral Cervera. The 1 commodore being an a ccomplished linguist, and being most courteously received, had a long and pleasant con . versation with tho admiral, who was dignified and pleasant, tuough naturally cast down by defeat. He expressed himself as particularly touched by the kind treatment and the consid' eration shown by all." You cannot accomplish any work or business unless you feel well.
