The Oity of Santiago De Oabn. Although thts city has one of the finest harbors in the West Indies and is the centre of a great copper region, it ranks third only in commercial im portance among the ports of Cuba. It has a picturesque locality, with mountains on three sides, but is ex ceedingly hot and subject to epi demics of yellow fever. Before the city is an immense bay, into the upper harbor of which Ad miral Cervera was induced to take his squadron by a ruse of Commodore Schley, who immediately blockaded the only means of exit The entrance is between high, fortified bluffs. It is the difficulty of ready com munication through this channel that has retarded the development of the city. The city was supposed to have the strongest defenses on the entire southern coast of Cuba, but the Ameri can fleet, in several bombardments, soon rendered the various works in effective. The city exports copper ore, sugar, coffee, rum and fruit, and has a population of about 40,000, with 30,000 more in the suburbs. Postal Development- The following statement by an official shows how the post office de partment is keeping up with the war procession : "The postal service is breaking all records during the present war. Two months ago, who in the land, or world for that matter, would have thought it possible for us to have a post office in fine working order at Manila, thousands of miles away, by this time, or at Camp McCalla, on the southern coast of Cuba ? Before three more weeks are gone it is almost safe to say that the soldiers and pri vate citizens may be calling for their regular mail at San Juan, U. S. A. (San Juan is the principal city in Porto Rico). The way the postal de partment is expanding these days would make Ben Franklin, our first postmaster general, fall dead with amazement." There is more Catarrh in this sec tion of the country than all c '-er dis eases put together, ard until the last few yeau was . pposed to be incura ble. For a great ma y years doctors pronounced it a 'ocr' disease, and pre scribed local remedies, and by con stantly failing to cure with local treat i.ien., pronounced it incurable. Sc : ence has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and therefore leqr'res constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials. Address, F. J.

Eleven years ago Pennsylvania's war Governor, Andrew G. Curtin was interviewed by a reporter on the seal ing dispute between the United States and Great Britain and the possibility of a war resulting from it. He made answer to the effect that this country and Great Britain would never go to war again, would settle their future differences by arbitration. Then the reporter said to him: "Then you think the days of war for this country are done away with, do you, Governor ?" "Now, I did not say that, nor do I think that," replied the former Gov ernor. "I believe and predict that towards the end of this century the United States will have a war on its hands, but it will not be with Great Britain, but with Spain, and the real cause of the struggle will be Cuba. Cuba should by all rights be a part and parcel of this Government; or, rather, a possession of the United States with an independent govern ment, but such a transposition of affairs will never be brought about without a war with Spain, and that is bound to come. Mark my word for. it. I may never live to see it. I hope i won't. But you will." One of the German newspapers, commenting upon the reported inter ference of the German gunboat Irene at Subig bay. says: "But 1f the Irene did hinder Aguinaldo's landing it is no business of Dewey's." Well, prob ably Dewey is not so sure about that, j , and if Germany has any desire to re ft tain her navy intact she will be a little careful about probing around in the rf vicinity of the Philippines just at J present. The bicycle lunatics appear to be on the increase. A large party recent ly started from Brooklyn to do 300 miles in two days. Result, nine-tenths of them were seriously disabled and some probably permanently injured. Illinois coal miners' strike may be settled by arbitration. ADMIRAL SAMPSON'S REPORT A Graphic Description of the Greatest Naval Battle of Modern Times Washington, July 27.—The cabinet discussed the report of Admiral Samp eon and Commodore Schley on the de struction of Cervera's fleet anl decided that It should be made public this morning. The combined report, as stated here tofore, includes those of Captain Evans, Captain Taylor and Captain Clark, making about 7,000 words and telling an Intensely Interesting story of the great naval battle. Parts of the re port, especially that of Commodore Schley, are thrilling in their descrip tion, and the remarkable part of all of them Is that they show no fraction U. S. Flagship New York, First Rate. Off Santiago de Cuba, July 15. The Secretary of the Navy: Sir: 1 have the honor to make the following report upon the battle with and the destruction of the Spanish squadron commanded by Admiral Cer vera off Santiago de Cuba, on Sunday, July 3, 1538: 2. The enemy's vessels came out of the harbor between 9.35 and 10 a. m., the head of the column and appear ing around Car Smith at 9.31 and emerging from the channel Ave or six minutes later. S. The positions of the vessels of my command off Santiago at that moment were as follows: The flagship New York was four miles east of her block ading station, and about seven miles from the harbor entrance. She had started from Siboney, where I Intended to land, accompanied by several of my staff, and go to the front and consult with General Shatter. A discussion of the situation and a more definite un derstanding between us of hte opera tions proposed had been rendered nec essary by the unexpectedly strong re sistance of the Spanish garrison of San tiago. I had sent my chief of staff on shore the day before to arrange an In terview with General Shatter, who had been suffering from heat prostration. I made arrangements to go to his head quarters and my flagship was in the position mentioned above when the Spanish squadron appeared In the 1 channel. The remaining vessels' were in or near their usual blockading post- I tlons. distributed In a semi-clrole about ' the harbor entrance, counting from the ' eastward to the westward in the fol lowin gorder: The Indiana about a mile and a half from shore; the Oregon the New York's place between the two; the lowa, Texas and Brooklyn, the lat ter two miles from the shore west of Santiago. The distance of the vessels from the harbor entrance was from two and one-half to four miles, the lat ter being the limit of day blockading distance. The length of the arc form ed by the ships vu about eight miles. The Massachusetts had left at 4 a. nt. for Guantanamo for coal. Her station was between tht lowa and Texaß. The auxiliaries Gloucester and Viven lav close to the land and nearer the harbor entrance than the large vessels, the Gloucester to the eastward and the Vixen to the westward. The torpedo boat Ericsson was In company with the flagship and remained with her during the chase until ordered to discontinue, when she rendered very efficient ser vice in rescuing prisoners from the burning Vlrcaya. I Inclose a diagram showing approximately the positions of the vessels as described above. ADMIRAL SAMPSON. 4. The Spanish vessels came rapidly out of the harbor at a speed estimated at from eight to ten knots, and in the following order: Infanta Maria Teresa, flagship, Vlzeaya, Cristobal Colon and the Almlrante Oquendo. The distance between these ships was about 800 yards, which meanß that, from the time the first one became visible In the up per reach of the channel until the last one was out of the harbor, an Interval of only about twelve minutes elapsed. Following the Oquendo, at a distance of about 1,200 yards, oame the torpedo boat destroyer Pluton and after her the Furor. The armored cruisers, as rap- Idly as they could bring their guns to bear, opened a vigorous Are upon the blockading vessels and emerged from the channel shrouded In the smoke of their guns. 5. The men of our ships In front of the port were at Sunday "quarters for Instruction." The signal wae male sim ultaneously from several vessels, "The Enemy's Ships Escaping," and general quarters were sounded. The men cheel-ed as they sprang to their guns, and fire was opened probably within eight minutes by the vessels whose guns commanded the entrance. The New York turned about and steamed for the escaping fleet, flying the signal "Close in toward harbor entrances and attack vessels," and gradually Increas ing speed, until toward the end of the chase she was making sixteen and one half knots and was rapidly closing In on the Cristobal Colon. She was not, at any time, within range of the heavy Spanish ships, and her only part In the firing was to receive the undivided fire from the forts In passing the harbor entranoe and to fire a few shots at one of the destroyers, thought at that mo ment to be attempting lo escape fr..m the Gloucester. 6. The Spanish vessels upon clearing the harbor, turned to the westward In columu, Increasing jthelr speed to the full power of their engines. The heavy blockading vessels which had'closed In toward the Morre at the Instant of the enemy's appearance, and at their best ■peed, delivered a rapid fire, well sus tained and destructive, which speedily THE COLUMBIAN* BLOOMSBURG, PA. overwhelmed and silenced the Spanish Ore. The initial speed of the Spaniards carried them rapidly past the blookad- Ing vessels, and the battle developed Into a chase In which the Brooklyn snd the Texas had at the start the advan tage of position. The Brooklyn main tained this lead. The Oregon, steam ing at amazing speed from the com mencement of the action, took first place. The lowa and the Indiana, hav ing done good work, and not having the speed of the other ships, wers di rected by me. In succession, st about the time the Vlzcaya was beached, to drop out of the chase and resume bloc kading station. These vessels rescued many prisoners. The Vixen, finding that the rush of the Spanish ships would put her between two fires, ran outside of our column and remained there during the battle and chase. 7. The skillful handling and gallant fighting of the Oloucester excited the admiration of everyone who witnessed It. und merits the commendation of the navy department. She Is a fast and entirely unprotected auxiliary vessel-- the yacht Corsair—and has a good bat tery of light rapid fire guns. She was lying about two miles from the harbor entrance, to the southward anl east ward and Immediately steamed In, op ening fire upon the largs ships. An ticipating the appearance of the Pluton and Furor, the Gloucester was slowed, thereby gaining more rapidly In high pressure of steam, and when the de stroyers came out she steamed for them at full speed and was able to closa at short range, where her fire was ac curate, deadly and of great volume. During this fight the Gloucester was under the fire of the Socapa battery. Within twenty minutes from the time they emerged from Santiago harbor the careers of the Pluton and Furor were ended, and two-thirds of their people killed. Tile Furor was beached and sunk in the surf; the Pluton sank In deep water a few minutes later. The destroyers probably suffered muoh In- Jury from the fire of the secondary batteries of the baittleshlps lowa,* Indi ana and Texas, yet I think a very con siderable factor in their speedy de structioh was the fire, at close range, of the Gloucester's battery. After res ruing the survivors of the destroyers, the Gloucester did excellent service In landing and securing the crew of the Infanta Maria Teresa. 8. The method of escape attempted by the Spanlards--all steering in the same direction and in formation—re moved all taotical doubts of difficul ties and made plain the duty of every United States vessel to close In, Imme diately engage and pursue. This was promptly and effectively done. As al ready stated the first rush of the Spa nish squadron carried It past a number of ithe blockading ships, which could not Immediately work up to their best speed. But they suffered heavily in passing, and the Maria Teresa and the Oquenlo were probably set on fire by shells fired during the first fifteen min utes of the • ng.agemcnt. It was after- waids learned >tha't the Maria Teresa's flremam had been cut by one of our first shots, and that she was unable to extinguish fire. With large volumes of smoke arising from their lower decks aft these vessels gave up both fight and (light and'ran in on the beach--the Ma ria Teresa about 10.15 a. m., at Nlma, six and one-half miles fwrn harbor entrance, . and the Oquemlo about 10.S0 a. 111., at Juan Gouialets, seven miles from the port v , 9. The Vlzc.iya was still under tha Rre of the leading vessels; the Cristo bal Colon had drawn ahead, leading the chase, and soon passed beyond the range of the guns of the leading Am erican ships. The Viscaya was soon set on fire, and. at 11.15 she turnel In shore and was beached at Azoerrade ros, fifteen miles from Santiago, burn ing fiercely, and with her reserves of ammunition on deck already beginning to explode. When about ten miles west of Santiago, the Indiana had been signalled to go back to the harbor en trance, and at Aacerraderoa the lowa was signalled to "lleaume blockading station." The lowa, assisted by the Ericsson and the Hist, took off the crew r.f the Vizcaya, while the Harvard and the Gloucester rescued those of the In fanta Maria Teresa and the Almlrante Dquendo. This rescue of prisoners, in cluding the wounded from the burning Spanish vessels, was the occasion of some of the most daring and gallant -conduct of the day. The ships were burning fore and aft, their guns and reserve ammunition wei-e exploring, ind It was not known at what moment the fire would reach the main maga zines. In addition to this a heavy surf was running just Inside of the Spanish ships. But no risk deterred our offi cers and men until their work of hu manity was complete. 10. There remained now of the Spa nish ships only the Cristobal Colon; but she was their best and fastest veeeeL Forced by the situation to hug the Cu ban const her onl.v chance of escape was by superior and sustained speed. When the Vlacaya went ashore the Colon was about six miles nhend of the Brooklyn and the Oregon, but her spurt was finished and the American ships were now gaining upon her. Be hind the Broklyn and the Oregon came the Texas, Vixen and New York. It was evidentfr om the bridge of the New York that all the American ships were gradually overhauling the chnso, and that she hod no chance of escape. At 12.60 the Brooklyn and Oregon op ened fire and got her range—the Ore gon's heavy shell striking beyond her —and at 1.20 she gave up without fir ing another shot, hauled down her col ors and ran ashore at Rio Torqulno, 48 miles from Santiago. Captain Cook of the Brooklyn went on board to receive the surrender. While the boat was alongside I came up In the New York, received his report, and placed the Or egon In charge of the wreck to save her If possible, and directed the pris oners to be transferred to the Resolute which had followed the obase. Com modore Schley, whose chief of staLff had gene on board to receive the sur render, had directed that all their per sonal effects should be retained by the officers. TWs order I did not modify. s The object of the blockade of CJer vera's squadron was fully accomplish ed, and each Individual bore well his part in it, the commodore In command of the second division, the captains of the ships, their officers and men. W. T. SAMPSON, ' Bear Admiral U. S. Navy, Ooinmaa dsr-ln-OMef U. S. Naval Foroa, Bell Telephone Company Wins an im portant Suit. Judge Buffington of the United States circuit at Pittsburg on Tues day handed dotvu an opinion to the effect that the Carty Bridging Bell patent is valid and ordering that an injunction issue to restrain certain persons from making further use of this apparatus. This opinion is regarded as of the highest importance by capitalists who have been thinking of investing money in certain so-called indepen dent telephone corporations, and, of course, is of the utmost conse quence to the telephone company which has been almost invariably successful in all of its suits brought to defend patents for telephone ap paratus from the first one invented by Alexander Grayham Bell down to the latest appliance. Although the particular suit up on which the decision of Judge Buffington was based was apparent ly so unimportant in the character of some of the persons identified with it as to seem almost humorous, yet it has long been known in tele phone circles that this suit was but a test case designed to cover inter ests and patents of importance equal only to the patent covering Bell's original invention and his later ap paratus, the Berliner apparatus and the double or multiple switch boards which are absolutely essen tial to the conduct of a telephone business in populous communities.
