After thirty-five shots had been fred
from the s-inch guns Commodore
Schley became convinced that the
Brooklyn's fire was falling short and
ordered q cessation, permitting the
battleships to continue, they, with
their larger guns, having longer range.
The shots were fred apparently with
great deliberation and at intervals of
two minutes.
The signals from the shore an.

squadron ceased firing and Commodore
Schley sent n launch to the shore to
ask General Shafter il he desired firing
