The war de partment has received the report of Admiral Cervcrn to General nianco on the disastrous naval light to the Span ish cause off Santiago. It Is as fol lows: To the General In Chief, Havana.

The steamer Resolute nrrlved todav with SOS prisoners, including eighteen offi cers nnd crew, of the Spanish cruiser Cristobal Colon. The disposition of the prisoners Is not yet decided on. The number of killed nnd wounded on the Cristobal Colon Is very small. Officers of the America.!) vessels which were In pursuit of her say that as It was a nuestlon of only a short time when the Cristobal Colon should bo compelled to surrender or run ashore, they ceased firing on her nnd only three of her crew were killed (nil sailors.) and thirteen were wounded. Before running their ship ashore and hoisting the white (lag the Spaniards opened the Kingston valves on board the Colon nnd threw overboard the breech of every gun, Including those of their Mauser rllles. The captured Spaniards were remark ably cheerful. The officers assert that they had nothing to eat for twenty-four hours before the de struction of the fleet, and they had great difficulty In getting their men to their posts, and therefore a largo amount of liquor was given out. Many of the captured sailors still showed the effects of drink when put aboard the Itesolutc. The Spanish officers say the order to sail was given by the ministry of ma rine of Madrid, and they decided to make an attempt to escape on Satur day night, but It was postponed until Sunday morning for the reason that "quarters Inspection" would be held at that time and the Americans would not he at their guns. None of the Spaniards expected to be alive at noon on Sunday, believing the destruction of the fleet to be certain. Most of their valuables weie 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 ad miration for the American ships, es-. peclally the Brooklyn, New York and the Oregon, and paid them their com pliments. The Spanish prisoners also said that If the Americans had pressed the land force the Spaniards would have been compelled to surrender, as the troops were completely worn out. When the Swinish Hoot left Santi ago do Cuba It was with the Intention to make for Clenfuegos, the nearest port, to secure coal and provisions. All the ships were short of coal, the Cris tobal Colon having only two days' sup ply, which she had secured at Santi ago. The Spaniards concentrated their (Ire on the Brooklyn, Imping to disable her, as they considered her the fastest of the American warships, and thus give nn opportunity for at least ono or two of the Spanish boats to escape. The Brooklyn was hit forty-llvo times. ENDEAVOR ERS CONVENTION. Immense Cnllicrliignt ,N'mIivIIc--Iu-lereliiic lttilii'. Nashville. Tenn.. July 7. The Audi torium.

TEACHERS IN SESSION. doling llouri ol tho Convention Held nt Ilellofontn. Bellofontc, Pa., July 7. The closing sessions today of the Pennsylvania State Teachers' association attracted large nudlenccs to the court house both morning nnd afternoon. Tho work wns begun with an executive session during which the secretary cast a ballot electing nil of the officers nom inated nt yesterday's session. The tirst paper that was read was on "Tho True Functions of the High School In the Public School System," by W. W. Kalchner. principal of the Wllllam sport High school. Professor William L. Tomllus, of Chicago, followed with a practical talk on "Music In the Pub lic Schools." The closing session was held this afternoon nnd proved tho most In teresting of tho week. The Pennsyl vania State Kindergarten association wns In Joint convention with the teachers' convention nnd the ladles hnd most of the programme. Miss Georgia Allison, of Pittsburg, president of the kindergarten association, talked enter tainingly for an hour on the work. She was followed by Mrs. L. P. Wilson, of Altoona, who had n paper on "The Spirit of the Kindergarten in the Pri mary School." Miss Elizabeth Culp, of Pittsburg, spoke on "Child Study In tho Kindergarten" nnd then Professor Tomllns took up his discussion of music again and occupied the time until 4 o'clock when the convention ad journed. Owing to the absence of Dr. James L. Hughes, of Toronto, Canada, his lecture that was advertised for to night wns not given and no session was had, the afternoon session having completed the programme. Although the time and place of the next meeting was left In the hands of the executive committee, it Is gen erally understood that the convention will go to Gettysburg next year. TRADE INACTIVITY. Review ol tho Situation bv tho Ameri can Manufacturer. Pittsburg, July 7. The American Manufacturer In Its weekly trade re view will say tomorrow: "The general conditions of trade this week are precisely those noted at last account. All points report the same inactivity, and all put It down to about the same cause. One additional rea son for the want of Interest shown In trade matters was the fact that the past week contained the national holi day, and there wns a general disposi tion to set out of town, and leaving business go for the present. In the eastern market there are no material changes to record. New York reports no sinus of speculation In crude Iron, and orders for finished products are small. Southern pig Iron producers are selling freely and the northern fur nances are shaving prices to moot the competition. At Philadelphia trade Is quiet, nnd there Is no anxiety to pur chase. Foundry pig Irons show a slight improvement, but grey forgo Is In a bad way. Some big transactions In Bessemer billets are expected soon. Bar iron Is very cheap. Pipes and tubes are firm, anil the plate mills aro well filled with orders. Little Is doing In structural Iron and steel. Chicago reports a generally light trade, by the tacit agreement of both sides. Sonic pig Iron consumers are hurrying ship ments on old orders, and an unusually large amount of southern Iron is find ing Its way Into that market. Bes semer billets are very slow. At Cin cinnati tho volume of business Is ex tremely light. Tho furnaces have or ders for delivery late In the season, but that does not help present busi ness. There Is quite n heavy buying In merchant steel. Cleveland reports state that the valley furnaces are clos ing down, according to agreement. Foundry Iron Is In better demnnd, the sheet mills nre crowded, and other branches are rather dull. The pig Iron output nt Wheeling Is being reduced. Finished lines continue slow." THE LAWYERS MEET. Fourth Annual Convention ol tho Peinmylvniiln llnr Asmclntion. Delaware Water Gap, Pa., July 7. The.ro Is a large attendance n't the fourth annual convention of the Penn sylvania Bar association which opened Its sessions shortly before noon today In the Klttltinny hotel. The associa tion will remain for two days. The largo attendance Is from the eastern counties, the western being icpresented by only a few lawyers. The programme was opened by the address of the president of the association, tho Hon. William V. Heusel, cx-attorncy gener al of the stute. In his speech Mr. Hen sol made 11 rovlew of the legislature of IS!)7. Following the address was the re ports of the law reform committee, the legal education committee and tho le gal biography committee. Reports of the executive committee, trensuier nnd secretary were debated at this after noon's session, At tho afternoon session two address es were mnde, ono on "Expert Testi mony," by the Hon. Gunny A Endllch, and tho other "The Study of the Com mon Law," by William Draper Lewis. That German Itumnr. WathhiKton, July 7, The last advices fiom Admlr.il Dewey received here were dated July 4. As they maka no mention of trouble with Germany tho rumor that he fired on a Uirman vessel Is pronounced baseless. No advices could have reached a cable ctutlon tlnce July 4. niwYork Condinsid m.w Co. n.y.' THE MARKETS. Wall Strnot Review. New York, July 7. Today's advance In prices was probably Intended as an ad Munition to the benr party that they wora not to be allowed to have their own way In forcing down prices oven In the exist ing dullness of speculation. Today's buy ing gave no Indication that It grew out of no urgent desire lor tho ownership of securities but senned rather an organized effort to mark up prices. Tho udvancc In Sugar may have been due to buying by shorts to realize their profits on tho ndop. tlon of the Hawaiian annexation resolu tion by the senate yesterday and prob ably tho demand from this quarter In duced somo bidding up of tho stock to ex ert prcrsire en tho shorts. The buying of the Vnnderbllts was clearly a profes sional manouvro by largo hull Interests. The gain In these stocks ranged from 1 to 2 points. The powerful sympathetic ef fect which this group alwnvs exercises on the balance of the list was shown by tho general resrorso today nftcr the opening depression caused by lower prices In London. When the short lived buying In the Vnnderbllts censed the general list showed n slightly reactionary tendency, but not sufficient to wipe out the earlier gains. Tho total scales were 201,200 shares.
