THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, JULY 5, 1898. inch Hontoria, and a mighty fountain of ‘water rose above the battle-ship and wet her decks. The shell fell near her bow. The Indiana replied with her 13- inch guns and a moment later let go everything she could bring to bear. One her first shells fell on the Spanish cruiser’s deck.

No doubt they were, bt it seemed that none of their guns were ‘stlenced so terrific continued their fire. Orice treé of Morro’s battle range, I stopped the Golden Rod abreast of the Spanish destro-er to see what would be the fate.of the G’ -icester. Lieutenant- Commander A Wainright, like Nelson, seemed to have a blind eye. If he were signal'.to’ pull out he remained, with | his six:pounders to do work which was heroic ‘and astonishing. At one time the Gloucester was being fired at by the Viscaya, ‘both torpedo boat destrgyers and Morra battery. That she was not sunk ard ‘that she had enough men | left to’ work her guns was marvelous. She lay close in to where the Viscaya carhe out, and ran along rarallel, firing at the cruigers fiercely in proportion to | _het size; as did the Indiana and Towa. Captain Eulate of the Viscaya prob- | ably feared a torpedo from the Glouces- ter; for he tur'ned loose his secondary battery at her as he passed on into the storm’ of ‘shbots from the bmttleships. - Then the destroyers came out, and the Gloticestér-accepted them at once as * parts of her contract. The destroyers were stfong ih machine guns and guns " ‘of the -three and six pounder class. It seemed that smoke Jjets burst from the dtslrnyeri in twenty places as they slipped along aftcr the Viscaya, and the water all @bou* the Gloucester was kept eplashing by shells and by bullets from the miachine guns, but the yacht steamed, ahead "keeping the destroyers directly between her and shore, and Towa and Texas opened | turned with ; Then | | Indiana, | near She was too close sometimes for | 12 mile west of Morro the Cristobal hammering them. Morro was throwing | shells from behind, and occasionally the Viscaya trrned a gun or two to aid her followers. | The yacht was often completely hid- | den by smoke. I could not but won- der if she had been sunk but she al- ways forged ahead and appeared again busier than ever. In ten minutes the fire of the dertroyers slacked, but al- though some of the guns were disabled their machinery was all right, and they moved on till Morro could no long- er take part in the battle. The New York appeared, hurrying on | the news from the Resolute that Cer- | vera had dashed his wedge of cruisers into the American fleet and was dying glorfously. The New York was six miles | away when the destroyers saw her. Morro thundered at Sampson as he came within range, but the admiral | never heeded, seeing only in the dis- | tance the dim forms of the Viscaya and | Oquendo, hopelessly hemmed in by a circle of fire, and in the foreground the | Gloucester fighting two destroyers at | short range. When the destroyers saw the flagship | they sped away from the Gloucester, and tried to overtake the Viscaya and | get into shelter on her starboard side. | If that could not be done there ought to be a chance to torpedo the Indiana, and | break through our line to the open sea, ‘ | | | where speed would save them; but the | | Indiana steamed inshore and the Iowa, too, but further away, and the | | Indiana’s second battery had the first | | destroyer’s range and rained shells | | upon it. Splintered and torn, but still | with her steering gear and machinery intact, both destroyers turned back to | run for the mouth of the harbor and seek safety inside, but it was too late. The fight had been carried nearly four miles west of Morro, and the New York was already past the harbor's | mouth. The Gloucester was ready for them close at hand. She and the de- | stroyers and the Indiana formed a tri- | | angle of which the destroyers were the 1.199).‘ and the American fire, ing, was too fierce for human beings to | | withstand. One destroyer drifted into the surf, a fire-battered wreck, and then crept on toward the Gloucester and New York, with her guns silent and showing a flag of truce. She was on fire, too, and her crew ran her ashore | to save the lives of those who had es- | caped our shells. She blew up soon | after they abandoned her. | I was standine behind Dr. Simonds of the Towa, when the Gloucester was in the greatest peril, and he could not | help turning from the main battle to | watch her heroic work and shouting his hope that she would not run short of ammunition. Her commander’s skill and courage was simply magnificent. | The Spanish admiral was lost in smoke to the westward, when at a quarter be- fore seven o’c! -k the Viscaya hoisted a white flag. This was followed by the Oquendo’s going ashore with flames bursting from her decks. The Iowa, Texas and Massachusetts ceased firing, the Massachusetts going | to join the Oregon and Brooklyn in converg- as { rounding up and smashing Cervera’s’ ship. Once headed off, the Oquendo turned into the small bav, four or five miles | west of Santiago, where she lay close | to the land. : With ever weakening broadsides the Vizcaya followed the first heading out | as if to break through the line of bat- | tle. The Indiana and Iowa closed in. and their formation made her escape | in that direction impossible. Captain | Eulate then attempted to reach the | east side of ti.e bay occupied by the Oquendo, but in vain. With a glass I | could see that the Vizcaya's bulwarks the stern had been torn away. Smoke poured out where shells had ex- ploded inside, and she was on fire. Her gunners with the exception of those | who were nr* working the bow guns | crowded forward to escape the smoke | and fire aft. The Oquendo was ashore, her guns | | silent and smoke rising in thick black clouds. There was a thundering of | guns to the westward now, and flashes | in smother told that Cervera smly | fought, but to the eastward of his ship | | lay the burning wrecks of his two de- | stroyers. The torpedo boat Ericsson was seen | | coming along with the New York. Thn; | Oquendo was helpless. The Indiana | and Towa were closing in, and shell af- | ter shell burst above and aboard the | Vizeaya. Eulate hoisted a white flag | a- his ship went ashore to save a rem- | nant of his men, and simultaneously went up the flag of white on the | Oquendo and down came the flag of Spain. An hour and a half had elapsed since Cervera left the harbor, and of the five vessels which came out only the flag- ship was still in action. Morro battery still stormed impotent- ly at the New York. The American army, with 1200 dead and wounded, was | | not yet in Santiago, but Cervera's fleet | was destroyed and Cervera himself was | only struggling on because he wished to | | make his defeat glorious in the eyes of the attentive world. He had proven, | at least, that he was not bottled up so | tightly as was supposed. He had lost four vessels and perhaps more than half of his men, but his pennant was still flying and some ‘of his guns were still in action. - Cervera passed the bay in which the | | Oquendo had sought refuge and held on | a due westward course close to land, but evidently nourishing a desperate hope that he might break through [he line and reach free water. He had passed in succession the Indiana, Iowa |and Texas, not to speak of the little Gloucester, which spouted 6-pound shells at him. Since his flag appeared outside the harbor his ship had been struck again and again. By this time the Vizcaya and Oquendo were praecti- cally beaten, but in spite of the 12 and 13 inch shells that were rained upon him at a range which was very short for such guns, in spite of the fact that his boilers and machinery were dam- aged, he held his course. From a point | also that | well | i | dered when the /0 SCALE OF'MILES WHERE CERVERA'S VESSELS WENT IOWN g i " S e cflgmnaskonns R — cART ROADS—: RAILRORLS,,, ® [-B-N ¥ ] ‘SHAFTERS§ LINES OF INVESTMENT &0 /MAP OF THE VICINITY OF SANTIAGO DE CUBA, SHOWING THE SCENE OF DISASTER TO ADMIRAL CERVERA’S FLEET AND THE POSITIONS OF THE SEVERAL DIVISIONS OF SHAFTER'S ARMY, AS TOLD IN THE DISPATCHES. Colon was invisible, frequently in low- hanging smoke from his own guns, and which drifted inshore from the battle-ships. Clearly now it might have been better if they had moved in circles and given battle under the Santiago batteries, whose aid would have lessened the odds against him, but the Spaniards, through | splendid strategy, had not been headed off until the batteries could no longer train their guns on our fleet. At 11:30 o’clock Cervera saw the Ore- gon cutting inshore ahead of him to round him to. The smoke was very thick. The firing was incessant. Cer- vera's available guns were no longer served. Shells had set fire to hip near the stem, and the flames were controlled with difficulty, but the Spanish admiral altered his course and headed off from the coast, as if to pass between the two ships and run for it. It was impossible. The Iowa and Texas were already moving down to close the gap, and the Spanish flagship, raked by the Oregon and Brcoklyn at from | a thousand to two thousand yards, and by the Iowa and Texas at longer range, turned inshore again and ran for the rocks, where the surf was breaking. He still replied occasionally, and I won- smoke hid his ship if he would be afloat when it lifted. The Golden Rod, leaving the burning cruisers on the beach, bore at full speed on the Towa as she closed in on the doomed admiral. I could discern the Spanish flag from time to time as the smoke drifted away and the flash of a gun at intervals proved that the Span- iard was consistently following the idea which led him to quit the harbor— | which was to make a glorious end. But his ship moved slowly now, as if disabled, and in a few minutes more his guns were silent. Black smoke re- placed the swirling white. The flag- ship was aflame. Her men had been unable either to work the guns or smother the ‘flames caused by bursting shells, and she was headed for the rocks. She struck bow on and rested there. Red flames burst through the black smoke, and soon a pillar cloud rose straight up a thousand feet and then bent against the green mountain. Cer- vera's ship was hopelessly lost. The American battle-ships ceased fir- ing before she struck and ran in, appar- ently with the intention of saving the survivors as prisoners. This was evi- dently expected by the Spaniards, no- tably by the Vizcaya's men, hundreds of whom thronged the forward deck, watching the flames eating their way toward them. Dr. Simonds of the ITowa, who accom- panied me and assisted me during the engagement, said that the fourth Span- | ish cruiser was unable to leave the har- bor with the others because she was disabled. The casualties will not be accurately | determined until to-morrow. Evidently the American losses were S"g‘lt com-~ pared with the tremendous importance of the accomplishment of annihilating Cervera’s squadron. The Golden Rod was the only dis- patch boat near the ships in action. I would have gone to Guantanamo witha bulletin had not the Resolute headed all non-combatants to the westward by the strange warning that a Spanish ship was coming from the eastward. As the Resolute ran toward the New York this afternoon after the engagement a shell from the western battery at four | miles’ range passed a few feet over and ahead of the Golden Rod. CULMINATION OF THE GLORY OF THE AMERICAN NAVY NEW YORK, July 4—The Washing- ton correspondent of the Herald tele- graphs: Commenting on the victory gained by Rear Admiral Sampson’s squadron off Santiagc de Cuba, Secre- tary Long said to me to-day: “It seems almost the culmination of Independence day. It is Dewey’s vic- tory over again—the terrific loss and but one man killed and two wounded on our side! Nobody questions the bravery of the Spaniard, and this makes all the more significant the su- periority of American officers and sea- men in skill, training, discipline and efficiency. How splendidly this victory rounds out thus far !he glorious record of the American navy Captain A. S. Crowninshield, member of the Naval War Board and chief of the Bureau of Navigation, is naturally most enthusiastic over the destruction of Cervera's fleet. “From the moment those ships en- tered the harbor I was confident that they would never escape. I think the result shows the utter inefficiency of the personnel on board the Spanish men-of-war and their lack of gunnery, exercise and drill. The ships were first- class vessels of their respective types and shculd have given Rear Admiral Sampson’s men-of-war a stiff fight. But they inflicted such little damage as to show the inferiority of their equip- ment to that of the American vessels and the poor gunnery of their men as compared with that displayed by the Americans. The result clearly shows that we have nothing to fear from the Spaniards on sea.” “It was one of the boldest deeds in naval history,” said General Miles, in speaking of Cervera's attempt to es- cape. I asked General Miles what, should Santiago surrender to-morrrow, would be the idea of sending further rein- forcements to Santiago. “To invade Cuba,” he laconically re- plied. Then General Miles added, signifi- cantly, that he would.not regard the troops now being sent as in the nature of reinforcements. “If reinforcements,” I asked, purpose will they be put?”’ General Miles refused to answer this question, as he declined to answer the next, as to whether these troops would be sent to Porto Rico. But it was re- marked by another authority with whom I talked that there were yet about 40,000 Spanish troops to be sub- dued in Santiago Province, and that Santiago was a good base to move from for an attack on Porto Rico. General Miles having stated again positively that he would go to Santiago, I asked him if he would take command. i A were in Santiago to-night,” he replied, “I should not attempt to inter- fere with General Shaf(ers plans.” BRITISH RESIDENTS LEAVE SANTIAGO ON THE PALLAS Special cable to The Call and the New York Herald. Copyrighted, 189, by James Gor- don Bennett. KINGSTON, Jamaica, July 4—The British commander of the Port Royal at 6 o'clock this evening received a cable message dated ‘“‘Santiago, noon,” from the captain of the British cruiser Pallas. He stated the city had not yet surrendered, nor b-°n taken by the American army. The Pallas had taken off the British onsul, Mr. Ramsden, and 150 British subjects. It is reported by the Consular agent at Montego Bay, Jamaica, that the schooner Manuel Raoul, which was chartered by a Spanish agent to go to Manzanillo with provisions, has been captured by the American fleet. PRELTI OG0T X DEMANDED INSTANT AND UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER OF SANTIAGO Copyrighted, 183, by the Assoclated Press. OFF JURAGUA, ON BOARD THE ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH- BOAT DANDY, Sunday, July 3, 10 p. m. (via Port Antonio, Jamaica, and Kingston, July 4; 12:45 p. m.).—General Shafter to-day demanded an instant and unconditional surrender of Santi- ago de Cuba. The Spanish commander curtly and emphatically refused. This evening Lieutenant Colonel As- tor of General Shafter's staff was in- formed by a courier that the Spanish generals were considering terms of surrender. The courier’s report, how- ever, is altogether unconfirmed and is discredited by General Shafter. To-night the men are anxious for a general engagement on the Fourth of July, but the officers do not expect it. The general belief is that the crushing of Admiral Cervera’'s fleet entirely changes the situation, now that Ad- miral Sampson can enter the harbor and the army and navy can make a “to what ‘glpry that such news should come oxuenmbined attack on the city. It is not believed that General Shafter will make a decisive move until that question is definitely settled. Admiral Sampson and General Shaf- ter had arranged for a conference this morning and an escort of cavalry was at the dock here awaiting Admiral Sampson and his staff. Admiral Cer- vera's dash for liberty compelled the New York to leave the harbor and rush | to the scene of conflict. The conference ‘was interrupted to wipe out the Spanish fleet, but will doubtless be resumed. e vivosie SPAIN AFRAID TO ADMIT THE LOSS OF CERVERA'S FLEET MADRID, July 4.—Thunderstorms very heavy and causing fatalities have partially interrupted telegraph commu- nication, and only meager news is pub- lished. There are great rejoicings over Ad- miral Cervera's quitting the harbor of Santiago, but there is an undercurrent of great anxiety as to his fate. It is considered preferable that he even should succumb to Admiral Sampson's superior forces than remain to be sunk by General Shafter’'s artillery. General Blanco cables as follows: “No details have been received as to the naval fight, but it is rumored that | Admiral Cervera southern Cuba.” It is officially announced that the last | vessels of Admiral Camara’s squadron | have passed the Suez Canal. The following semi-official statement was issued this afternoon: “The semaphore from Morro Castle to Santiago says the Spanish squadron, after a cannonade with the Americans showed no signs of injury, therefore the American news of the rout of Admiral Cervera must be utterly untrue. More- over, Admiral Cervera's squadréa is faster than Admiral Sampson’s.” An official dispatch from Santiago de Cuba says: “‘Admiral Cervera’s fleet sustained for an hour the fire of the American fleet. It then disappeared westward, followed by the American squadron. We lost two torpedo-boat destroyers.” The dispatch announces as follows: “To General Shafter’s demand for the | surrender of the city, expiring at 10 o’clock the next morning, the Spanish commander replied: “It is my duty that orders me to defend the place to the end.” reached a port of The Ministers, on leaving the Cabinet | council, said they knew nothing of Ad- miral Cervera’s squadron further than the dispatches revealed. Lieutenant General Correa, Minister of War, vera had gone to Havana. At the conclusion of the Cabinet meet- ing yesterday the DMinisters stated that official confirmation had been received that General Veraderoy and two of General Linares’ aids-de-camp were among the killed in_the third attack of the Americans on El Caney. It was stated that the American losses exceed 2000. The Government has no news from Aguadores. It is reported that Linares has succumbed to his wounds, but this report is unconfirmed. SAMPSON’S FAMILY CELEBRATES THE ADMIRAL’S VICTORY NEW YORK, .l’uly 4.—Mrs. Sampson, wife of the year admiral, with her fam- ily, celebrated the Fourth, her hus- band’s promotion to be commodore, and his great victory all together to-day at the Sampson home in Glen Ridge, N. J. The house was decorated with flags, and the rear admiral’s children kept the neighborhood noisy all day with fire- crackers and explosives., Mrs. Samp- son was overjoyed with the news from Santiago, and joined heartily in the celebration carried on by the young- sters. When asked about her husband’s victory she said: . “I am very happy. No words can express the joy and relief I feel. This is the first really happy day I have had in six months. While I always hoped far the best and knew our fleet would be victorious in the end, and had every confidence in my husband and in the strength of his fleet, still I constantly feared that when they came to close quarters with thc enemy my husband’s life would be in danger. He was in danger, cf course, but he has come through safely and so have his men, 50 it does not matter what the risk was: it’s past. The news that came this morning seemed at first too good to be all true.” Mrs. Sampson then spoke of how proud she and her family were of the country and its successes and how doubly proud they were to think that the rear admiral had contributed toward the triumphs being won in the war. ———— The widow's cap dates back to old Egyptian days, when people shaved their hair close to the head in time of mourn- f and then put on caps to avoid taking said he believed Admiral Cer- | Special cable to The Call and the New York Herald.

Two hundred men from General the hospital at Siboney. two hundred from General division. Among the wounded are Colonel Pat- terson, commanding Twenty-second In- fantry; Lieutenant Deveraux of the Rough Riders; Lieutenant Murphy of | the Twenty-fourth In antry; Captain Mosher of the Twenty-second Infantry; Lieutenant Godfrey of the Twenty-secr ond Infantry, whose wounds are slight, and Captain Jones and Lieutenant Marshail, both of the Twenty-second | Infantry. Lieutenant Deveraux was a well known Princeton football player. tenant Garastre, a son of the famous | general, and a pet with the army, was killed while display tinguished gallantry. He was a mem- ber of General Hawkins' staff. Lieu- | tenant Michie, also of General Hn\\ k- ing’ staff, was killed. All ranking offic s of the cavalry di- vision were disabled.
