NEW YORK, July 6.—A cablegram to the Sun from London says: A dis- patch to the Central News from Ha- vana says Admiral Cervera’s dispatch to Captain General Blanco, sent after his capture by the Americans, declares that Vice Admiral Villamil and Captain Legaza were among those killed dur- ing the engagement with the American w hips. The dispatch adds that the disaster to the Spanish squadron has caused a painful impression in Havana, but stiffens the determination to resist to the bitter end.

WEDDED TWENTY-TWO YEARS MRS. SCHAEFFER ON THE WIT- NESS STAND. Peace Did Not Reign in the Wyo- ming Cattle King’s Home ‘When She Left It Oakland Office S8an Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, July 6. The first skirmish in the legal battle for the possession of the children of the Wy- oming cattle baron, Joel J. Hurt, took place in Judge Ogden’'s court to-day. Alphonse Schaeffer, the present husband of the children’s mother, was present in custody of & police officer, he being under arrest for felony for attempting to use his gun on Hurt yesterday in the Sheriff’s office. Mrs. Schaeffer told her story this morn- ing and said that she married Hurt at Rollins, Wyo., in September, twenty-two years ago. Six children were born to them, three boys and three girls, and in 1894 the parents quarreled. In July, 1895, Mrs. Schaeffer says, Hurt com- menced an action for divorce. She filed a cross-complaint, alleging adultery, and the Judge denied judgment to the husband and awarded the decree to the wife, as well as the custody of the three | little girls. She says that she was ordered by the court to remove the children to a | sultable place for their proper education, | and she complied with the order. She | fled to Denver to avoid the scandal and | persecution to which she alleges her hus- | band exposed her. She says her ex-hus- band is a dangerous man, and that in April, 1896, he committed murder by kill- 1x:f ‘William Milne. n concluding her evidence Mrs. | Schaeffer told of her happy life with Al- phonse Schaeffer, to whom she was mar- ried at Cheyenne in July of last year. She says he is kind and dutiful and a | good husband. The oldest daughter, Jessie, was put on the stand to corroborate her mother’s testimony regal‘u'lng their travels through Colorado and Mexico, and also to testify as to the kind character of her stepfather. Attorney E. M. Gibson, who appeared for Mrs. Schaeffer, argued against the admission of the amended decreé thet awarded the custody of the children to | Joel Hurt on the ground that a decree of | one State cannot be used in evidence in | another State. He also objected to the admission of certificates that bore date July 1, because they were not carrying an inland revenue stamp, as required by a recent act of Congress. Gavin McNab argued in favor of their admission, and the court took the matter ;xnder advisement till to-morrow morn- ng. STEREOTYPERS’ UNION LOSES THE STRIKE Chicago Newspapers Resume Publica- tion, but in Greatly Reduced Form. CHICAGO, July 6.—President Prescott | of the International Typographical Union, { who came from Indianapolis to make an investigation, decided that the strike of the stereotypers employed on the Chicago newspapers was {llegal and that they should have adhered to thelr contracts. As the Stereotypers’ Union is subordinate to the Typographical Union, this decision opened the way to the newspapers to re- sume publication. Accordingly all of the | morning papers were issued to-day, but | reduced in size—only four pages—the stereotypers’ plates having been made by | non-union men. The afternoon papers also appeared in the same form, having engaged new men. To-morrow the size | of all the papers will be doubled, and it is expected by Friday the usual number of pages can be got out: ‘As the newspaper publishers have | agreed not to have anything to do with | the Stereotypers’ Union hereafter, the | 200 men who struck last Friday night will | have difficulty in finding work in Chicago, | as non-union stereotypers from | other cities have come out and more are said to be on their way. ks T Struck by a Car.

HOBSON PROBABLY HAS BEEN EXCHANGED Major General Shafter Reports Gen- eral Toral’s Acceptance of His Proposition. WASHINGTON, July 6.—The War Department posts the following from General Shafter: “Adjutant General, Washington.—In camp near Santiago, July 5—I am just in receipt of a letter from General Toral agreeing to exchange Hobson and his men and to make the exchange in the morning. Yesterday he refused my proposition to exchange.” Fell From a Roof.

ELEVEN PERSONS ABOARD IT IS PROBABLE THAT ALL HANDS HAVE PERISHED. An Upturned Hulk Found Floating 245 Miles West of Coos Bay Believed to Be the Wreck. Special Dispatch to The Call. SEATTLE, July 6.—The schooner No- mad, which sailed in ballast from Shanghai for Seattle on December 7 last, has never been sighted since. Two months ago The Call set forth reasons | for believing that the delayed schooner with all on board had been lost. This version seems to be substantiated by the officers of the schooner Eliza Miller, which has just arried at Port Blakeley. On June 23 Captain Christenson saw the upturned hulk of a schooner float- ing 245 miles west of Coos Bay. This is slightly west of the course of steam- ers plying between Seattle and San Francisco. The keel was from 130 to 140 feet in length, perfectly straight and newly coppered, with considerable lead on the forefoot. Hall Brothers of Port Blakeley, who owned and built the Nomad, recognize the description as the hull of their long missing vessel, which was only built last Aueust. A tugboat will be sent out in search of the wreck in a few days. On board the Nomad were: Captain John W. McAllep, his daughter and two sons, from Seattle; First Mate C. W. Soderstrom, Second Mate Charles Looman, Cook Fred Holmes and Sea- men R. Visentine, R. Thompson and G. Olsen, and L. E. Bloodgood, cabin boy. DUCKS FEED ON NUGGETS Cause a Mining Craze in Oregon. GOLD IN THEIR GIZZARDS FED ON GROUND RICH IN THE PRECIOUS METAL. Eager Prospectors Now Rushing to the Ranch Whereon the Lowly Birds Were Hatched and Reared. Bpecial Dispatch to The Call. ELLENSBURG, Or.,, July 6.—There was a stampede yesterday from Ellens- burg to a point about flve miles north, where a rancher had been seiling ducks in town, nearly every one of which has had gold nuggets in its giz- zard. Pannings of surface ground along the creek were made, but only small colors were found. . Before leaving two of the party bought four ducks, all the rancher had left. On reaching town the ducks were | killed and nuggets to the value of $5 20 were taken from their gizzards. Each duck had one or more nuggets, none of which was smaller than the end of a lead pencil, some being as thick as an ordinary knife blade. Arrangements are being made to se- cure an option on the land, which is owned by a Portland man. If it can be secured development work will be done at once. GIVES GLORY 10 SCHLEY Pettigrew’s Resolution of Thanks. REFERRED TO COMMITTEE SENATE PREFERS TO AWAIT SAMPSON’S REPORT. Stewart of Nevada Thinks the Rear Admiral Was Unfortunate in the Wording of the kirst Announcement. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. WASHINGTON, July 6.—In the Sen- ate to-day Pettigrew of South Da- kota offered the following resolu- tion tendering the thanks of Con- gress to Commodore Schley for destroy- ing all Admiral Cervera's squadron and asked that it be referred to the Com- mittee on Naval Affairs: 4 “Resolved, That the thanks of Con- gress and the American people are hereby tendered to Commodore Win- fleld S. Schley of the United States naval force operating against the Span- ish forces In Cuban waters for highly distinguished conduct in conflict with the enemy, as displayed by him in the destruction of the Spanish fleet off the harbor of Santiago, Cuba, July 3, 1895, “Sectfon 2—That the thanks of Con- gress and the American people are hereby extended through Commodore Schley to the officers and men under his command for the gallantry and skill exhibited by them on that cccasion. ‘“Section 3—That the President of the United States be requested #to cause this resolution to be communicated to Commodore Schley and through him to the officers and men under his com- mand.” Commenting upon the resolution, Pettigrew sald the impression had been conveyed to the public that “not Com- modore Schley but another man” had achieved the great success. “I know,” declared he, “we Mail ve obliged to remove that impression by absolute proof to the contrary. All the accounts of the battle agree that Com- modore Schley was in command of the vessels of our fleet. He pursued the last of the Spanish vessels sixty miles and personally brought to an fought.” Stewart of Nevada thought Admiral Sampson had been unfortunate in the wording of his official announcement of the victory and in not giving in that dispatch the credit due to Commodore Schley. He thought it was due to Schley that the credit be given him by Sampson, but he believed the latter would yet do justice to the commo- dore. Hale expressed great confidence in the character and ability of Admiral Sampson and Commodore Schley, and sald the conduct and achievements of Schley during the historic battle had been most admirable. He felt assured that the little agitation concerning the bestowal of credit which was now dis- turbing some minds would disappear in the full light of the facts. There was, he said, glory enough for all in the destruction of Cervera's fleet, and he had no doubt it would be properly dis- tributed. Allen of Nebraska thought at least a few days' delay ought to elapse before action was taken upon the resolution and it was referred to the Naval Com- mittee. At 5:05 o’clock the Senate went into | executive session and at 6:15 p. m. ad- | journed. MORE CASE DECIDED.

The second section of the big raft reached port yesterday in tow of the tug Rescue. After the mass of lumber broke | in two off Crescent City the Monarch held on to one portion of it and towed it into port last Tuesday. The Rescue went in search of the derelict, but it drifted forty miles before the tug caught up with it. Then there was another delay until the heavy sea running had in a measure gone down, after which the work of making fast began. During this process the tug s slightly damaged by being thrown ainst the mass of lumber, but $100 will her in as good trim as ever she was. ptain Thompson says it was hard work to make fast to his tow and slow work g here.

The Sheriff in charge of the Daw- son got angry and ordered the Deputy Marshal to move the old vessel away. | This riled Uncle Sam’s representative and | he invited the local man to come aboard his ship and settle the dispute there. Then the Deputy Sheriff attempted to | cast -the Tiger adrift, but got scared when informed that he was meddling with United States property. Finally Deputy Marshal Monckton and a gang of assistants were sent down from the Fed- eral building and they placed a number of fenders between the two steamers and s0 healed a breach that at one time threatened to develop into open warfare. The old British tramp steamer Amara- poora may again be put in commission. ‘After many vicissitudes she went ashore at Chefu, China, and was given up as a total wreck. It now turns out that she is only slightly damaged, and after her cargo is discharged she can be floated. As it will cost as much as she is worth to float her she will probably be sold for a song and then taken off, repaired and likely brought back to San Francisco once more. Benefit of Sick Soldiers.

The office s kept open until 9 o'clock every evening to accommodate those who are unable to get there in the daytime, but few have availed themselves of the addi- tional facilities furnished them by Regis- trar Biggy. It is probable that many voters do not know that the last registra- tlon was canceled June 1, and that all citizens who desire to vote at the next election will have to register again. —_——— Getting the Sinews of War.

His customary trade mark—the famous white hat—was missing. It had been lost in the shuffle, and had been re- | placed by a slouch hat of a leaden hue, similar to the war 1 ‘:t recently applied America’s ba . $ the matter, Mac?
