The ordnance officers of the army are in- Gignant at the statements that have ap- peared in the press, some of them attributa- ble to high arm: questioning the merits of the Springfield rifle with which a large proportion of the United States army is armed. These statements, they say, are calculated to do infinite harm among the volunteer forces, though the regulars know and e old Springfield too well to dis- trust it now. The principal argument made against its employment by the critics is that its short range enables the Spanish armed with Mausers to pick off our men tong before they get within range of the Springtiels. This is said to be based upon error. The Springfield has a range of 3,400 yards, which is only a few hundred yards short of the Mauser and the formers big 500- grain bullet is said to have greater killing power at the long ranges. The opinion of some good practicable soldiers as to the respective merits of the Springfield and the modern small bore is shown by the fact that such able soldiers as Colonel Ray and Colonel Schuyler of New York, who are organizing indep«ndent regiments, have specially requested the War Department to supply them the fcrmer. A good deal has been said also as to the great superiority of smokeless powder used in the small bore over the black powder of the Springfield, but none of the best ord- ance officers in the War Department has declared that there are merits in both pow- ders. In open fighting the smoke made by the Springfield often serves to obscure the marksman from a return fire while the man armed with the smokeless weapon is exposed to aimed fire. ——_—__-e+_____ French Warships Off Cuba.

HIGH PRAISE OF THEIR CAPTORS Spaniards Astonished by Rapidity and Deadliness of Our Guns. THEIR PRESS BLAMED NEW YORK, July 11—The Herald today prints the following dispatch from its spe- cial correspondent at Portsmouth, N. H.: Admiral Cervera told me he had received three cablegrams from the minister of ma- rine at Madrid, ordering him to lzave San- tiego. Knowing the force he would have to encounter, he felt convinced that obe- dience to these orders would spell ‘‘suicide” to the imprisoned fleet that faced it. Then came another dispatch, a peremp- tory one, that left no choice but to obey. It said: “No matter what the consequences are, go to sea at once and fight the enemy.” “So I went out,” the admiral said. “My plan was to attack your Brooklyn, sink or disable her, if possible, then run to Ha- vana, raise the blockade there ind reek refuge in the harbor, but I failed in my purpose, as you know, lost all I had, my ficet and everythin; “If the Americans attack Havana I am sure they will meet with terrible resistance and will lose ships and men.” “Do you think Santiago can hold out now that your fleet has been withdrawn from its defense?” “if Linares is not heavily reinforced it must fail. But on the day before I left he was joined by two thousand men. Ue was expecting reinforcements from all parts of the island. If they join him the city may hold out for some time.” “Has the cabie connection of Santiago with Jamaica been cut?” “No; when I came out we were in com. munication with every city in the world.’ Cervera’s Praise. Cecvera then spoke-of Capt. Wainwright of the Gloucester, and his brave, big-heart- ed executive officer, Lieut. H. Mc. L. P. Huse. Cervera thanked them both from the bottom of his heart for the manner in which they had stood by the fire-imperiled Maria Teresa, whos? heated guns made a fearful danger z.ne and whose magazine threatened to dash the life from every one near by. Seeing the danger, Cervera begged Lieut. Huse to shove off from the flaming wreck. “That gallant and noble officer,” said Cer- vera, “replied and said: ‘No, admiral, not until I have rescued all your wounded!’ ” “I jumped overboard,” said the admiral, speaking of his own adventures, “and my son followed me. I could make no head- way and would have drowned had not he helped me.and borne me up with his younger and stronger arms. While we were struggling in the water the Cubans on shore fired at us, but the Americans drove them away and would not allow them to molest us again. Then I was taken on board the Gloucester and then to the lowa.”” The admiral was asked about the first bombardment of Santiago. “It was a great surprise,” he confessed. He had feared that the Cristobal Colon would have been sunk, as the rest of the fleet was not with- in supporting distance, and the forts at that time were but imperfectly defended, mounting but a few guns. He could not understand why the Ameri- can ships did not close in and strike the Colon en masse, as she had none of her big guns on board. “Did you not have her big guns? Where were they?” was the question that inter- rupted ‘the admiral’s talk. . “In Italy—or perhaps in the pockets of our chief of ordnance," was the reply, giv- en with an expressive shrug. “Bob” Evans’ Courtesy. Of Captain Robley D. Evans of the Iowa the admiral spoke in glowing terms. On board that vessel he had been received more as a conqueror than a captive. Bulate, captain of the Vizcaya, also spoke in high terms of Captain Evans, and ap- preciates the courtesy of “Fighting Bob” in allowing him to retain his sword, and also for the way in which he allowed the Vizeaya’s dead to be buried. After the Spanish flag had been wrapped around the bodies the padre of the Vizcaya committed them to the deep, the Iowa’s guard of marines firing three volleys over the uead. Cervera told Commodore Schiey that one shell which had burst on board the Maria ‘Teresa killed and wounded eighty men. Captain Eulate, wounded, halt of limb and depressed in spirit, saia he had saved his honor, although he had lost his ship. That was the wording of a dispatch which he ad sent his wife after the destruction of the Vizcaya. “When you think of the odds I encoun- tered, you wiil see that I could not do more than T did,” Captain Eulate said. “I had only one ship against four. My enemies were the Brooklyn, the Oregon and the Texas, and, I think, the Iowa was the other. All four punished us severely, but it was the Texas that gave us our coup de grace—a shell fired from that vessel enter- ing our port bow and exploding one of the forward magazines. My men- stood by their guns and fought like true Spaniards.” “But naval conflicts now are not ceter- mined by courage,” sighed the mournful captain. ‘The victory is to the finer ma- chine, and the American machines were better than ours. The Vizcaya, ah! she was a fine ship! And now what a wreck! Poor Spain!” , Captain Eulate commanded the Vizcaya during that vessel's visit to New York har- bor, a short time after the Maine disaster. Before that he had come into notoriety as the officer who had ordered the execution of the Competitor prisoners. The Plan for Escape. Capt. Maocrohon, second captain of tha Maria Teresa, said: “Our plan for escape was well arranged, but better formulated than executed. We had arranged to force our way out on Sat- urday night, and the Maria Teresa was to have izd. But, contrary to our expecta- tions, the searchlights of your ships did not fllumine the channel that night, as had been usual, and without that ght we were unable to discern the wreck of the Merri- mac, 30 we could not go out. You know how we came out th> next morning—Sun- day, that was. Great crowds were expected to come down to the wharf to see us de- part, but the American troops were pushing the city too hard in front and there were none to see us off.+ Our orders were to steam at full speed to the westward after clearing the harbor and concentrate our at- tack on the Brooklyn, paying no att2ntion to any of the other ships unless they forced us to attack them. “So in the morning they signaled to us from the battery that only the Texas and the Brooklyn were to the westward, and we got und>r way, the Maria Teresa, being the flagship, taking the lead. We opened fire on the Brooklyn and the Texas answered it, but her shot fell short. Otherwise she would have struck us, for it was a straight line shot. The Brooklyn and the Iowa thon fired, but neither shot hit. Again the Brook- lyn and the Texas fired. The Brooklyn's shell went into the Admiral’s cabin, and, exploding, set fire to the after part of the ship. Th2 shell from the Texas plerced our side armor, and exploded in the engine room, bursting the main steam pipe. We signaled to the engineer to start the pumps, but got ne redly, and then found that ali below in that part of the ship had been killed. At that time it was like hell on our bridge. Shells were bursting all around us, and the ship’s hull was being riddled be- low. Benched the Ship. __ “The captain turned to me and sald: ‘Sir, do you think it best to continue the hop2- less fight; or, for the sake of humanity and to save life, should we not beach the ship? Many of our guns are dismounted and our engines are crippled.’ “ ‘Bir,’ I replied, ‘we ar> unable to fight longer. Let us beach the ship.” “Then, as I said that, a shell struck our captain. His last words were to haul down the colors. The American fire was so fierce and their shells were bursting around us so fast and making so much smoke that the Americans could not see that the flag was down and continued firing. I sent below for a blanket, and as soon as that was run up the firing ‘ceased. “Meanwhile the Vizcaya had run between us and the Texas and was then engaging three ships—the Brooklyn, Oregon and Texas. She made a desperate, but hope- less fight. Now that we have learned that we lost between 800 and 1,000 men and the Americans lost only one man, it amazes us. It is incredible. We cannot comprehend it. It does not seem possible. And yet we must believe it. Have we not seen with our own eyes the utter wrecks of our ships and how yours were not hurt, even the smallest injury, that we could see.” “If you had ‘managed to escape, where would you have gone, to Cienfuegos?” “By no means,” the officer replied. “Our intention was to run to Havana, raise the blockade there and enter the harbor.” “What will be the result of the battle?’ the Spanish commander was asked. “Ah, I do not know,” was the mournful reply. “I hear now that the Americans in- tend sending their fleet to my country— that is my anxiety. My poor Spain will be helpless against your attack. I have seen what your ships can do and know our ex- posed cities will be destroyed.” “You were, then, much impressed with the fire of the American ships?” “We were all astonished by its amazing rapidity and deadliness,” was the frank reply. Ethie Spanish press,” said one, who begs me not to quote his name, “is alone to blame for the awful way in which we and the country at large have been deceived. ‘We had been led to believe that the Amer- icans would talk and bluster, but would not fight, and that America had no good ships—that the few bad ones she had were manned by foreigners, who would desert in time of war. Oh, how we have been de- ceived! And then we were told that we would be horribly tortured and killed if we were captured. Now I can hardly beHeve my senses. We are treated as friends and brothers by those we had been taught to dread.” ++ ___ ENEMY’S FIRE WAS SILENCED. News Came at the Close of a Busy Sunday. ‘The American flag floated over .the White House and the War and Navy De- partments yesterday, an unusual thing for a Sunday, but a sign of the tim It was a reminder of the President's call upon the people of the land to celebrate the glorious achievements of the American army and navy. The President himself and the members of the cabinet led the way in the observance of the terms of his proclamation by repairing to their re- spective places of worship and offering up thanks for the success that has attended a righteous cause and prayers for a con- tinuance of the manifestation of divine favor. The news of the bombardment of San- tiago camc to the War Department at the close of a busy Sunday. Several dispatches were received from Gen. Shafter during the day, of which the following were made public: “I have just received letter from Gen. Toral decliring unconditional surrender. Bombardment by army and navy will be- gin at as near 4 p.m. today (yesterday) as possible.” “Enemy opened fire a few minutes past 4 with light guns, which were soon si- lenced by ours, very httle musketry firing, and the enemy kept entirely in their en- trenchments. ‘Three men slightly wounded; will have considerable forces tomorrow; enough to completely block all the roads on the northwest. I am quite well. Gen. Garcia reports that enemy evacuated lit- Ue town cailed Doscaninos, about three miles from Santiago and near the bay.” Information received by the War De- partment during the few days of truce in- dicates that Gen. Shafter has materially strengthened his position. During the week he received reinforcements of both artillery and infantry. Randolph's Bat- tery of twenty-four guns, which left Key West Tuesday at midnight, is now in posi- tion before Santiago, and, as one of the War Department officials expressed it: “When those Long Toms of Randolph be- gin to talk something will happen in San- liago.”” Gen. Shafter has nearly fifty slege guns and a large number of seven-inch mortars, besides lighter artillery at his disposal. These guns, taken in connection with the work that can be done by the fleet, will, it is believed, carry terror and destruction to Santiago. Gen. Shafter notified the department of the arrival of the following reinforcements: “The St. Paul has just arrived with Gen. Henry and his command and quartermas- ter’s stores.” “The Catania has just arrived with the 1st District of Columbia Volunteers.” OBEYED SAMPSON’S ORDER. Captain Clark Reports Upon His Part in the Naval Bnttle. Capt. Clark of the United States battle ship Oregon, which did such remarkable work at the naval battle off Santiago de Cuba, that resulted in the destruction of Admiral Cervera’s squadron, says, in his official report of the engagement to Rear Admiral Sampson, according to an Asso- ciated Press copyrighted dispatch from off Guantanamo, Saturday morning last: “The Spanish fleet turned to the west- ward and opened fire, to which our ships replied vigorously. For a short time there Was an almost continued flight of projec- tiles over the ship, but when our tine was fairly engaged the enemy’s fire bacame de- fective. As soon as it was evident that the enemy's ships were trying to break through and escape to westward, we went ahead at full speed with the determination of carrying out to the utmost your instruc- ticns: ‘If the enemy tries to escape, the ships must close and engage him as soon as possible, and endeavor to sink his ves- sels or force them to run ashore.’ “We soon passed all of our vessels, ex- cept the Brooklyn. At first we used only the main battery, but when it was discov- ered that the enemy's torpedo boats were following the ships we used oun rapid-fire guns, as well as the six-inch guns upon them with telling effect. “As we ranged up near the sternmost of tkeir ships she headed for the beach, evi- dently on fire. We raked her as we passed, rushing on for the next ahead, using our starboard guns as they were brought to bear, and before we had her fairly sbeam she, too, was making for the beach. The two remaining vessels were now some dis- tance ahead, but our speed had increased to sixteen knots, and the Vizcaya was soon sent to the shore in flames. “Only the Cristobal Colon was left, and, for a time, it seemed as if she might escupe. But when we opened with our forward turret guns, and the Brooklyn followed, the Colon began to edge in toward the coast, and her destruction was assured. As she struck the beach her flag went down. “The Brooklyn sent a boat to her, and when the admiral caught up with the New York, Texas and Vixen, the Cristobal Colon was taken possession of. I cannot speak in too high terms of the bearing and con- duct of all on board this ship. When they found the Oregon had rushed to the front and was hurrying to a succeszion of con- flicts with the enemy’s vessels, if they cculd be overtaken and would engage, the enthusiasm was intense. As these Spanish vessels were so much more heavily armored than the Brooklyn, they might have con- certrated upon and overpowered her. “Consequently, I am persuaded that but for the officers and men of the Oregon, who steamed and steered the ship and fought and supplied her batteries, the Cristobal Colon and perhaps the Vizcaya would have escaped.” ———_~+-o+—_____ ‘WHO SHOULD BUY THE STAMP? Commissioner of Internal Revenue on the New Law. The commissioner of internal revenue is receiving hundreds of telegrams and letters from merchants, manufacturers and boards of trade, as well as from senators and rep- resentatives, asking construction of the war revenue law of 1898, upon the point as to who should pay for and affix a stamp upon telegraphic messages and upon ex- press receipts of bills of lading given by express, railroad and steamboat companies, and other common carriers, for goods transported by them. He has made general answer to all such inquiries to this effect: * As to the stamp on a telegraphic mes- sage: The law does not specify who shall ents it. It yciad noses: the blag 1 cent upon each message, and prescril in section 18 that ‘no telegraph company, or its agent, or employe shall transmit to any person any dispatch or message without an adhesive stamp denoting the tax imposed Or having the ‘same stamped thereupon, or ‘same ereupon, and in walt thereof shall incur a penalty of $10.” The commissioner holds, there- fore, pent the sender of the message should si jt. In the case of the stamp required to be affixed to'an é¥preés receipt or bill of lad- ing, given by an express or railroad com- pany or other common ler, the law specifically states that “it shall be the duty of every railroad or steamboat company, carrier, express company, or corporation, or person whose occupation it is to act as such, to issue to the shipper or consignor, or his agent, or person from whom any goods are accepted for transportation, a bill of lading, manifest, or other evidence of receipt and forwarding for each ship- ment received for carriage and transporta- tion whether in bulk, or in boxes, bales, packages, bundles, or not so inclosed or in- cluded; and there shall be duly attached and ciinceled, as in this act provided, to each of said bills of lading, manifests, or other memorandum, and to each duplicate thereof, a stamp of the value of 1 per cent.” : It is held, therefore, to be clearly evident that if an express company or other car- rier accepts goods for transportation it must issue to the consignor a bill of lading or receipt duly stamped and the stamp canceled. If such company or carrier refuses to ac- cept goods offered for transportation, ex- cept on condition that the consignor shall Pay the price of the stamp, in addition to the regular charge for the service per- formed, or proposed to be performed, the internal revenue laws afford no remedy. As to whether the laws imposing obliga- tions upon common carriers, if appealed to, would supply a remedy, the commissioner holds that the courts must decide. AUCTION SALES OF REAL ESTATE, &c. Today.
