Admiral Cervera, Seventy Officers and Sixteen
FIVE HUNDRED SPANIARDS KILLED
The Entire Spanish Squadron, Save the
stroyed in One1
One Man Killed
Orr 8antuoo dk Cuha, July a Admiral
Cervera's fleet, consisting of the armored cruis
ers Cristobal Colon, Alinlraute Oqueudo, In
fanta Maria Teresa and Vlzcaya and two torpedo
boat destroyers, the Furor and Pluton, which'
had been held in the harbor of Santiago de
Cuba for six weeks past by the combined squad'
rons of Rear Admiral Sampson and Commodore
Schley, lies today at the bottom of the Carib
bean sea oft' the southern coast of Cuba.
The Spanish admiral is a prisoner of war on
the auxiliary gunboat Gloucester (formerly Mr.
J. Plerpont Morgan's yacht Corsair) and 1,000 to
1,500 other Spanish soldiers and sailors, all who
escaped the frightful carnage caused by the
shells from the American warships, are also
held as prisoners of war by the United States
navy.
The American victory is complete, and ac
cording to the best Information obtainable at
this time, the American vessels were practically
untouched, and only one man was killed,
though the ships were subjected to the heavy
Are of tbe Spaniards all tbe time the battle
lasted.
Admiral Cervera made as gallant a dash for
liberty and the preservation of Ills ships as has
ever occurred In the history of naval warfare.
In the face of overwhelming odds, with nothing
before him but Inevitable destruction If he re
mained any longer la the trap in which the
American fleet held him, he made a bold dash
from the harbor at the time the Americana least
expected him to do so, and lighting every Inch
of his way, even when his ship was ablate and
sinking, he tried to escape the doom which was
written on the in utile of every American gun
trained up in his vessels. i
The Americans saw him the moment he left
and commenced the work tf doefructlou .Im
mediately. ' Por an hour or two they followed
flying Spaniards to the westward along the
shore line, sending shot alter shot Into their
hulls, tearing great holes In their steel sides,
and covering their decks with the blood of the
killed and wounded.
At no time did the Spaniards show any indl
cation that they Intended to do otherwise than
fight to the last. They showed no signals to
surrender, even when tbelr ships commenced
to sink and the great clouds of smoke pouring
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
soon completed.
The officers and men on board them eeeaped
to shore as well as they could, with thesaalst
aura of boats sent from the American nieii of
war, and then threw themselves upon the
merry of their captors, who sot only extended
lo them the gracious hand of American
chivalry, but sent them a guard to protect them
from Ihe murderous bauds ol (Julian soldiers,
hiding In the bush on the hill, eager to rush
down suit attack the unarmed, defeated, but
valorous foe.
One after another of the Spanish vessels be
came the victims ol the awful ralu ol shells
which the American battleships, cruisers and
gunboats poured Upon them, and two hours
after the Bret of the Heel had started out of au
Uago harbor, three cruisers and two torpedo
boat deelntyers were lying on the shore 10 or IA
miles west ol Morro castle, pounding to pli
saaoks and flame pouring from every part of
lliein, and covering the entire coast Hue with a
tnlst which could lie seen (or miles.
Uaavr explialiitie of ammunition occurred
every lew nituutne, semllng curls ol dense,
bllesnHika a hundred fart Into the air, and
sending a shower ol broken Iron sad steel to
lall In His water on svery side.
Admiral Cervera escaped to the shore la s boat
sent by Ihe Gloucester lo the aaelauitns of tbs
lufanle Maria Teresa and as soua as he touched
the beach ho surrendered himself and hUroni
mend lo Lieutenant Morton, and asked to be
taken aboard the blouvrater, which was tbe
only Ameriuao vessel near him at the lima,
with several of his ofhrers. Including lh cap
uts ol the flagship. Tbe apanlah admiral, who
was wotiudod la the arm, was taken la the Ulnu
ceater aud was received at her gaugway by ber
enmniaiHter, Lieutenant Commander klrharl

Hundred Men Talen Prisoners.
Hour's Time The
and One Wounded.
At this time there was no means of telling
what the loss was, but it is believed to have
been very heavy, as the prisoners In custody re.
port their decks strewn with the dead and
wounded in great numbers, and besides there it
a statement that many bodies could be seen
fastened to the pieces of wreckage floating In
the sea after the fight was over.
A large number of Spanish wounded wore re
moved to the American ships. There can be
no doubt that Admiral Cervera's plan to escape
from Santiago harbor was entirely unexpected
by Admiral Sampson, and the best evidence of
this Is the fact that when the Spanish vessels
were seen coming out of the harbor the flagship
New York was Beven miles away, steaming to
the eastward toward Juragua, the military base,
nine miles east of Morrow,
The Mew York was out of the fight altogether
at every stage, but she Immediately put about
and followed the other vessels in the race to
the westward, aud overtook them in time to
join in the chase for the Cristobal Colon, after
the other Spanish vessels had been destroyed
by the Brooklyn, the Oregon, Iowa, Massachus
etts, Indiana, Texas, Golucester and other ships
of the fleet.
Commodore Schley's flagship, the Brooklyn,
had her usual 'position at the extreme western
end of the line, 10 miles from the New York
and Texas. It is a peculiar fact that he should
have been In proper position to direct the
movements of his flying squadron against the
Spanish fleet, which he bad bottled up in
Santiago harbor six weeks before.
As a matter of fact the entire American fleet
was much farther off shore than usual when
the Spaniards made their appearance this morn
ing. It was not believed that Cervera would
attempt to escape Irom his perilous position at
thla late day, but It was supposed that he would
keep hit ships In the harbor to shell the ad
vancing American army, and if Santiago fell he
would blow up or sink them rather than per
mit them to be captured by the American squad
ron lying outside.
The Spanish admiral's real plant, however,
were plainly not anticipated. Ho accepted the
ono chance open to him that of running the
gauntlet of the powerful men-of-war lying In
front of the harbor, aud saving his ships for
future service by (lashing out of the trap In
which he lound himself, and going to some
other field of operations.
There seemed to be but one chance In a
hundred that he would he able to make the
move successfully, but he took that chance,
and while great piles ol naval architecture,
now ground to pieces on ths rocks, a few miles
from where he suited, tell ths mournful story
of his failure, there are none who applaud hit
conduct more than the American officers and
seamen who sent his ships to destruction.
