VARSHIP WRECKED
Spanish Cruiser Driven Ashore
During a Heavy Storm.
ALL THE CREW WERE SAVED.
The Disaster Occurred off Colorado
Point, In the Gulf of Guadiana'
South of the Town of Mantau.


The Spanish war.hip Cristobal Colon,
second-c ass cruiser OF ], 200 tons oispiace-
ment, was driven ashore on Colorado Reei
during a heavy gal, aud is likely to prove q
total loss. L, /, bell eyed that all the crew OF
2J0 ne1 were saved.
The Cristobal Colon formed part OF the
feet OF the Spanish warshils de'aiIed To
watch the C ast OF Cuba in order to prevent
The landing OF fiibusterlng exL editions rom
the United States aud esewhere. Her crew
is estimated 10 have numbered about zoo,
Ulcers aad men, but the exact figures are
not known at present, IS she had on poaro
men for the smaller patrol vessels OF the
Spanish feet and may have had detailed
men ashore.
The disaster occurred of Colorado Point,
In the Gulf OF Guadiana, south Ct the town
OF Mantau, in the province OF Pinar del hlo
near which territory Havana is situated. For
some days past a cycIonic disturbance hao
prevailel over these a;itUdes and the Cris-
tobal Colon appears 10 have encountered lne
severe weather of Cape Antonio and to nave
put into the Gulf OF Guadiana for shelter.
There she tried to ride out the fierce gale
and heavy sea-, but was slowly driven to-
ward Colorado Point off which iutting there
is a danc erous reef known as the Colorado
Reef. When the commander Of the cruiser
saw that he could not make headway against
tie storm he attempted 10 anchor, but the
! anchors would not ho and the cruiser was
| driven ashore.
Everything possible seems to have been
done to save the cruiser, but all efforts In
that direction we're useless and she was fin-
ally abandoned helpless wreck, pounding
herself slowly to piece on the Colorado Reef.
| Some of the crew swan ashore others
reached land by means of pieces OF wreckage
and In the boats, but all the crew, officers
and men were savel.
When questioned regarding the disaster,
the Spanish captain would only say that the
| Crlstobal Colon wa. driven ashore on the
Colorado Reef owing to the violence ot the
,yclone and that 1t Is probable that she will
prove a total loss. Efforts however, will be
made to save her guns.
The wreck OF this fine warship 80 soon after
the sinking OF the Baracastegui has cast
feeling OF intense gloom over thu govern
ment officials In Havana. There are none
too many Spanish vessels In these waters al
| present, and the loss OF the CristC bal Colon
