IN the meantime thirty officers of the
Vizcaya had been picked up, besides
212 Of her crew. Our wardroom and
steerage officers gave up their state
rooms and furnished food clothing and
tobacco to those naked officers from the
Vizcaya. The Paymaster issued uni
forms to the naked sailors, and each
was given all the oorned beef, coffee
and hardtack he could eat. The war

found the Gloucester with Admiral
Cervera and a number of his officers
aboard, and also a large number Of
wounded, some in frightfully mangled
condition. Many prisoners had been

/ requested Captain Cotton to go in and
take off the crews Of the Infanta Maria

and by midnight the Harvard had 9I4

For courage and dash there is no

to absolute destruction. There was one
single hCpe-that was that the Cristo-

Spanish. and it was ordered by Blanco.
The same must be said of the entire

Il took Admiral Cervera aboard from

a full Admirals guard. The crew of
the Iowa crowded close to the turrets,
half naked and black with powder, as
Cervera stepped over the side, bare

thin suit of flannel borrowed from

The battleship Iowa was the first ship
to see the Spanish fleet coming out Of
the harbor A moment later her crew
was at general quarters, and at 9:33 a.
m. gun was fired to attract the atten-
ton Of the fleet. Captain Evans ac-
count Of the battle, as told in the cabin
of the Iowa to a correspondent of the
Associated Press, is intensely interest
ing, He said:
AT the time general quarters was
sounded, the engine bell rang full speed
ahead, and / put the helm to starboard
and the Iowa crossed the bows of the
Infanta Maria Teresa, the first ship out.
AS the Spanish Admiral swung to the
westward the Pinch shells from the
forward turret Of the Iowa seemed to
strike her fairly in the bow, and the
fight was q spectacle. AS the squad
ron came out in column the ships beau
tifully spaced as to distance and grad
ually increasing their speed to thir-
teen knots, it was superb.
Tie Iowa kept up a steady fire from
her heavy guns, heading all the time to
keep the Infanta Maria Teresa on her
starboard bow and hoping to ram enc
of the leading ships
In the meantime the Oregon Indiana
Brooklyn and Texas were doing excel
lent work with their heavy guns. In
a very short space Of time the enemy's
ships were all clear Of the harbor mouth
and it became evidently impossible Ior
the Iowa to ram either the first CT the
second ship, on account of the speed.
THE range at this time was 2O0O
yards from the leading ship. The Iowa S
helm was Immediately put hard to star
board. and the entire starboard broad
side was pouring into the Infanta Maria
Teresa. The helm was then quickly
shifted to port, and the ship went across
the stern of the Teresa in an effort to
head off the Oquendo. All the time the
engines We're driving at full speed
ahead. A perfect torrent of shells from
the enemy passed over the smokesta OK
and superstructure of the ship, but none
struck her.
The Cristobal Colon, being much
faster than the rest of the Spanish
ships, passed rapidly to the front in an
effort to escape. In passing the Iowa
