Eyery one knew we were Americans and all were quite willing to talk about the war. Infact the Spaniarda intro duced the subject in every instance. All Spaniards believe that the United States is in the war for what shecan make out of it. The idea of a philanthropic motive is incredi- bletothem. They have forgotten their boast of four months ago: “We will teach the Yankee hogs a lesson and wipe them off the earth.” Now they ask pitifully: “Why does your rich, powerful nation want to bully ua?” The women look apprehensively across the sapphire bay and ask: ‘| witwesseo THE MAINE EXPLOSION. Claims It Was Entirely Different From th Blowing Up of the Vizcaya. That the explesion of the United States battleship Maine in the har- bor of Havana was due toan outside wine is almost confirmed by the story of Captain Frank Stevens. commanding the transport City of Washington. Capt. Stevens, in an interview, said: “Isaw the United States battle. in tk arbor ship Maine blown up of Havana.

Thie, I think, , jconclusively tbat under the Maine “Two weeks ago to day we were steaming to the eastward when I saw the Spanish ships escaping from the harbor of Santiago. The City of Washington had been off Santiago proper. We were heading to the eastward and bound further down the coast. Tho cruiser New York, Acting Rear Admiral Sampson, was just off cur quarter and she signalled to us that she would pass under our port quarter “We were then about a little more than five miles tothe eastward cf the mouth of the harbor of Santi | ago. The New York turned around at once, and soon after we could see her ports thrown open and the ship cleared for action. We followed in the direction where the rest of the saw the destruction and Vizeaya’s magazines they 8 there was a mire “Will the American fleet bombard San Sebastian?” We aseure them that we do not believe it will, but they are still restless and say: “We are only women hers. They will gain nothing but the boarding house keepers’ signs.” San Sebastian, usually so full of gay Spanish life, gathered around the court of the little King at this season of the year, is quite empty. The chop keepers are discouraged, and exchange is co high that buyers come over from the frontier French towns and carry away 80 much from the market that there is actually not enough for the poor Spaniards. Some of the better class of people realizing that the end of the present regime is close at hand and look de- spondingly into the future expecting to be ruled by the ‘“‘Carlists or re- publicans or devils.” But most of the people cherish their indomitable faith in the yalor and prowess of the Spanish arms. The day after Schley’s victory at Santiago, the newspapers here, un- aware of any battle, gleefully an- nounced that Admiral Cervera had escaped with his entire fleet from the “hole where the Americans had 80 cleverly supposed they had bot- tled us.” The considerate Spaniards courteously grasped our hands and expressed sympathy for our defeat. Not for three days was credence given to the report of the utter rout and destruction of the Spanish fleet. The people could talk of nothing but how skillfully their valient Ad- miral had outwitted the “Yankee Sampson.” Alar! The ‘castles in Spain” that the Spaniards build around them are doomed to a tremendous fall. On the Fourth of July the follow- ing editorial eppeared in the San Se bastian papers: “Is the situation in the Philip pines hopeless’ No, because Oamara’s Squadron will arrive in time. Per haps we may lose Manilla, or at most the Island of Luzon, but the Whole colopy—no! From the Phil- ippines came ihe first bad news. From the Philippiges glso will come American fleet were engaging the Spanish ships “During the heavy engagement that followed it was hard for us to distinguish just what result there was from the firing. I know that I never was so happy in all my life as when I recognized the straight, military mast on board the big bat tlesbip that was burning furiously, because I then knew tbat the ship that was being destroyed was one of the ships belonging to Admiral Cervera’s fleet. “We saw the Oquendo and the Vizoaya ashore and burning. I stood on the bridge, together with my officers, and watched the magezines blow up on the Vizcaya. “First the forward magazine ex ploded. It was then that I came to the conclusion that the destruction of the Maine was not due to the explosion of her magazines, but toa mine underneath. “On the Vizcaya the magazine shot straight in the air. There was no tearing of iron and steel to the the right or to the left. “Not even the Vizcaya’s bridge was destroyed. It was left intact, sion. There were two big search- lights on the bridge of the Vizcaya. These were not destroyed either. I thought at first that there were two men standing on the bridge. “It was the same way when the} after magaziae exploded on the Viz-) caya. straight up inthe air.
