The An- 1 chor line steamer City of Rome, char- tered by Admiral Cervera to transport I to Spain the Spanish sailors captured j at the battle of Santiago, who were recently re-cently released by the United States .authorities, has arrived here from j Portsmouth, X. 1!., whence she sailed on September 12. Captain Eulate. the former commander of the Spanish cruiser Vizcaya. and the other Spanish naval ollicers landed and were mistaken mis-taken for a party of which Admiral Ccr-I Ccr-I vera was a member. The latter, however, how-ever, was still on biard the City of Rome, but a crowd of people followed the officers and cheered for Admiral Cervera. Later Admiral Cervera came ashore and dispatched a telegram to the queen regent, after which he started on his way to the capital. Admiral Cervera, while at Sautan der, in thanking the authorities foi coming on board the steamer to receive him, dwelt with bitterness on the situ ation of the marines, who. on returning return-ing after doing their duty, find such an unjust atmosphere of public opin-ion. |
