American Fleet Cares for Seattered Forces. A letter received in this city from Rey. W. G. Cassard, formerly pastor of a Metho- dist Episcopal church kere, now chaplain of the Indiana, after alluding to the de- struction of Cervera’s fleet, speaks of American mercy as follows: “Our thoughts now turned instinctively to the work of relieving the crews of the burning ships. If there was any incon- gruity in a warship undertaking this peace- ful task it not appear so to us at the time. Indeed, it seemed to all to be quite as natural and quite as necessary as the work of destruction had previously been. While defiantly fighting under the Spanish flag the men of Cervera’s squadron are our enemies, but beaten and subdued under the white flag they are our brothers, and no man recognizes this brotherhood more heartily than the men of our navy. Our ships could not get very near the wrecks, so just as soon as military exigencies would permit two expeditions were sent ashore in small boats. The first of these was in command of Lieutenant Benton C. Decker, and went into the point where Cervera’s ‘the destroyer Pluton had been run ashore and abandoned. He went in cautiously, with arms lying convenient for use, ex- pecting possible resistance, as the wrecked Pluton was within the Spanish lines about Santiago. He soon found, however, that the few scattered Spaniards * had neither means nor disposition to offer resistance. In abandoning their boat they had been compelled to swim ashore, had thrown aside their clothing and were now naked. Seven- teen in all were found by Mr. Decker and brought off to the ship, where they were cared for with all possible kindness. “The second expedition was to carry re- lief to the crews of the Teresa and Oquendo and was composed of cfficers and men who volunteered for the service. Everybody not detained by duty was willing to go, but the number was necessarily limited to those who could best assist in the work of relief. The officers permitted to go were Captain Waller of the marine corps, En- sign Olmstead, Assistant Surgeon Costigan, Cadet Helm and the writer. It may be recorded here as a simple matter of fact that every one in the ship, beginning with Captain Taylor, was anxious that the humane service should be quickly and ef- fectually rendered. It is now a matter of cecmmon remark in all the ships participat- ing in the action that the men who fought with inspiring enthusiasm until the enemy was defeated at once ralliéd with no less interest to the work of succoring the cake oners as they were brought aboard ship a few hours after the action.” Taare Pleads Guilty.

Special Corresyondence of The Evening Star. NEWPORT, August 17, 1808. After nearly a w downpour Old Sol corcluded to show his face once more and to rejoice the hearts of the “sporting set,” who have polo, golf and tennis tourna- merts on hand, besides picnic dances and trolley rides. Soft ground once more compelled the postponement of the polo game which was announced for 4 p.m. yesterday, much to the disappointment of all interested in the tournament. Mr. Foxhall Keene is not playing this seasen, and Mr. George Nor- man, arother expert player, is away on the torpedo beat destroyer Gloucester, The cottages are mostly occupied, and the hotels Kave a goodly number of guests. We have had plenty of fog, but since it is cean and white and said to give creamy complexicns to Newport belles nobody com- plains. Surely the green isle never looked jJovelier ard fresher than now. A pleasant affair was the dinner given by Mrs. Astor at Beechwood in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt, it being the first social function Mr. Vanderbilt has attended since his illness, though he often drives out and also attends the service at old Trinity. The other guests were Commodore and Mrs. Elbridge Gerry, Mr. and Mrs. Potter Palmer, Judge and Mrs. John Clinton Gray, Col and Mrs. John Jacob Astor, Mr. and Mrs. Nathaniel Thayer, Mr. and Mrs. Fitz- hugh Whitehouse, Mr. and Mrs. McKay Twembly, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. L. Reves, Mr. Jocstens of the Belgian legation, Lispenard Stewart and Col. Geo. Fearing. The Ameri- can beauty, Mrs. Astor’s favorite flower, was profusely used in the decorations. The dancing set are looking forward with much pleasure to the dinner dance at Rockhurst on the 22d, for which Mrs, H. Mortimer Brooks has issued cards. Wednesday Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish enter- tained at dinner at the Crossways. The floral decorations were unique, being blue and white only, which gave the room just a touch of old Delft coloring. Flowers such as our great grandmothers loved, holly- hocks, glexinias and shell pink hydrangeas, are in high favor with the “smart set” for decoraticns. Dr. and Mrs. Seward Webb are visiting fricnds at Newport. Mrs. I. Townsend Burden entertained a select coterie at dinner at Fair Lawn Sat- urday evening.
