The Winslow was within 1,500 yards

How she camo to be so close was told
by her oommander, Lieutenant John U.

"We were making observations when
the enemy opened fire on us. Tho
Wilmington told us to go in and attack
the gnnboata. We went in under full

He was on the Hudson when ho said
this uud with the ti mil words he point

The four above-namei! wero injured
by tho bursting of a shell on the Now
York. This is u complete list of the
killed and wounded.
The American ships are uninjured.
Tho engagement began nt fi:15 A. M.
and ended at S: IT. A. M. The enemy's
batteries were not silenced. The town
in the rear of the fortifications probably
suffered. The ships taking part in tho
action wero tho Iowa, Indiana, New
York, Terror. Amphitrite, Detroit,
Montgomery, Wauinpiitituck and Porter.
The enemy'l firing wan heavy, hut
wild, and tho Iowa nnd New York
were probably tho only ships hit.
Tin y went right up under tho guns in
column, delivering bioadsidcH and then
returned. They passed in front of the
forts, jniuritig tons of steel on shore. It
is itn08siblo to judge the amount of
damage done to tho buildings and forts.
They apteared to bo riddled with shot,
but the Spaniard- were plucky.
The after-turret of the Amphrite got
out of order temporarily during tho en
gagement, but she banged uwuy with
her i nward guns.
After the first passage before tho
forts, tho Detroit nnd Montgomery ro
tirod, their guns being too small to do
much damage. The Porter and Waum
puutuck also stayed out of range.
Tho smoke hung ovor everything,
spoiling the aim of tho gunners and
making it impossible to tell where our
shots sttuek. The officers and men of
the ships behaved with coolness, ami
bravery. The shots flaw thick and
fast over all our ships.
The men who wero hurt during the
action were injured by splinters thrown
by an eight-inch shell, which came
through a bout into the superstructure,
and scattered fragments in all direc
tions. The shot's course was finally
ended on an iron plate an inch thick.
Merkle was struck in the arm ami may
lose it. A fire wan started in the boat,
but wan quickly extinguished.
Morro battery, on the eastern arm of
the harbor, was the principal point of
attack.
Keiir-Adnilr.il Sampson nnd Captain
Evans wero on the lower bridge of the
Iowa, and had a narrow escape fr

llie Iowa was hit eight times, huU

heavy swells made accurate aim diffl
cult. The broadsides from thfl Iowa
and the Indiana rambled in the hills
inshore fivo minutes after they were
delivered. Clouds of dust showed
w here the shells struck, but tho smoke
hung over eveivthing.
The shells screeching overhead ami
dropping around showed that the Span
iards still stuck to their gun.
At 7:45 A. M., Admiral Sampson
signaled "cease firing." "Return"
was sounded on the Iowa, nnd she
headed from the shore. The Terror
was tho last ship in the line, and, fail
