Hpariihli admiral in a prisoner of war on
j the nnxiliury gunboat (llouster (J, 1'ier-
repont Morgun'H vacht Corsair) and 1 ,KX
to 1 other Spanish sollieiM and sail-
ors, all who escaped the lrit,ht(ul carnaye
caused by the hhelia of the Americua
wniMiipi, are also held as prisoners of
war by the United States navy
The Atncriir.ii victory is complete and,
according to the best information ob
tainable at this time, the American ves
sels are practically untouched, and only
one man was killed though the ships
were subjected to the heavy fire of the
Spaniards all the time the battle lasted.
Admiral Cervera made as gallant a dash
for lilterty as known in the history
of naval warfare. In the face of over
whelming odds, with nothing before
him but inevitable destruction
if he rem lined any longer
in the trap la which the
American fleet had him he
made a bold dash from the har
bor at the time the Americans least ex
pected him to do so, and fighting every
inch of his way, even when hia ship
was ablaze and sinking, he tried to
escape the doom which kwa written on
the miiBi-.los of 'every - American' un
trained upon' his vubsela. The Ameri
cans saw, I. iin the moment he left audi
"0!nhu;'"--pd the watt . dei-lruc'ion im-j
im-ili iti.U-. Knr aii limir nr two tnev
followed the flvii. ' S1.a11iar.is to the wt
ward, along the shore lino, sending shot
after snot into their hulls, tearing great
holes in llieir steel sides and covering
their decks villi tiie blood of the killed
and wounded.
At 110 time diil the Spaniards show
any indication that they intended to do
otherw ise than fight to the last. They
showed no signs ot surrender, even when
their Bliips commenced to sink, and the
great clouds of smoke which poured from
their sides showed that they were on fire.
But they turned their heads toward the
shore, less than a mile away, and ran
them on the beach and rocks, where
their destruction was eoon completed.
The officers and men on board of the
vessels escaped to the shore as well as
they could, with the assistance of the
boats acnt from the American men-of
war, and threw themselves on the mercy
of their captors, who not only extended
to them the gracious hand of American
chivalry, but Bent them a guard to pro
tect them from the muderons bands of
Cuban soldiers hiding in the bush on the
hillside, ea;er to rush down and attack
the unarmed, defeated, but valorous foe,
One after another the Spanish ships
became the victims of liie awful rain of
shells which tho American battleships,
cruisers nnd gunboats poured. upon thorn,
and two hours after the first ol the fleet
started out of Santiago harbor three
cruisers and two torpedo-boat destroyers
were lying on the Bhore ten to fifteen
miles west of Morro castle, pounding to
pieces, and flames pouring from every
tmrt of them, and covering the entire
coast line with a mist which could be
seen for miles. Heavy explosions of am
munition occurred every few minutes,
sending curls of dense white smoke
hundreds of leet in the air, and causing
showers of broken iron and steel to fall
in the water ou every side.
The bluffs on the coast lino re-echoed
with the roar of every explosion and the
Spanish vessels sank deeper and deeper
into tho sand, or else tho rocks ground
their hulls to pieces as they rolled or
pitched with every wave that washed up
on them from tho sea. Admiral Cervera
escaped to the shore in a boat Bent by
tho Gloustor to tho assistance of the
Infanta Maria Teresa, and as soon as he
touched the beach he surrendered him
self and his command to Lieutenant
Morton, and asked to be taken aboard
tlie Glouster, which was tho only Amer
ican vessel near him at tho time, with
several of his officers, including the cap
tain of the flagship. The Spanish admiral,
w ho was wounded in the arm was taken
to the Glouster and was received at her
gangway by her commander, Lieutenant
Commander llichaid Waiuwright, who

the megaphone :
"1 left the Cristobal Colon an hour ago
far to the westward, and the Oregon was
giving her hell. She has undoubtedly
gone down with the others, and we will
have a Fourth of July celebration in San
tiago tomorrow."
Captain Evans, who had been in the
thick of the engagement up to the time
he took the Yizcaya'a officers and crew
from the Bliore, said that, to the best of
his knowledge, not one American ship
bad been struck. The torpedo boat
Ericesen, which also returned from the
westward about the same time, made a
similar report. There is no means of imrn. j.be wivea ot the Spaniards
telling now what the loss was. but it is were left behind. The native civil gov

tiie best evidence ol tiui is tlie la:t ttiat
when the Spanish vessels were seen
coming out of tiie harbor tlie New York
was seven miles to tlie eastward, toward
1 1
Juragua, the military base, twenty miles
east of Morro. The New York was out
of the fight at every stage, but bhe ira
immediately put about and followed the
others.
The vessels were in the race to the
westward and overtook them in time to
join in the chase of the Cristobal Colon,
after the other Spanish vessels had been
destroyed by the Brooklyn, Oregon,
Iowa, Massachusetts, Indiana, Texas,
Gloucester and other ships of the fleet.
Commodore Schley's flagship, the Brook
lyn, had her position at the extreme
west end of the line, ten miles from the
New York and Texts. It is a peculiar
fact he should have been in a proper
position to direct the movement of his
flying squadron against the Spanish fleet
which he had bottled np in Santiago
harbor six weeks before. As a matter of
fact the entire American fleet was much
fait her offshore than usual when the
Spaniards made their appearance this
morning.

Ha is pressing them hard. His forces
surround tlie city on the land side, and
fighting with the Spaniards is of daily
occurence. A hard ti-tht occurred yes

capturing the water battery on the out

day, and cannonading can be plainly
heard about the troopship. The Span--iards
are using eight-inch Krnpp guns..
The smoke of many fires in the vicinity
