Following is a copy of a letter sent
by Captain Evans in reply to an arti-
Gle pu blished by the Inder of Will
Transport Pa. praising Captain Phil
ip of the Texas for his "after-action,"
prayer and making contrast between
Captain Philips action and what is
referred to by the paper as the Sire
quently published profanity of Cap
tain Evans":
Guantanamo Bay Cuba Jul. %, 1898.
The Editor of the Index, Williams
port, Pa.-Dear Sir: I beg to ac-
knowledge the receipt today Of a copy
of your paper, which you have been
good enough to send to me.
I am at loss to know whether you
sent it for the purpose of ceiling my
attention to the ''cussn words attrib-
uted to me in the newspaper, or to
Capt. Philips official show of Christian
spirit in announcing to his men on
the quarterback of the Texas, after
the battle of Santiago, that he believ-
ed in Almighty God. AS, however,
you have seen fit to drag my name in
your newspaper, [ hope that you will
publish this reply that those who read
your issue of July Is may also read
what I have to say.
l have lever considered it neces-
sary, and I am sure that a great ma
jority of officers in the navy do not
cosiderate it necessary to announce
to their crews hat Hthey believe iu
Almighty God" I think that goes
without saying. We, each of us,
have a right to show by our actions
how much we are imbued with this
belief. Captain Philip had a perfect
right to show this to his men as he
did; it was a matter of taste.
Now for myself: Shortly after the
Spanish cruiser Vizcaya had struck
her colors and my crew had secured
the guns, the chaplain of the ship, an
excellent man. came to me and said
Almighty God for our ~victory?"
I said: "By all means do so. I will
have the men sent aft for that pur-
pose," and was on the point of doing
SO when it was reported to me that a
Spanish battleship was standing to-
ward us from the Eastward. My first
duty to God and my country was to
sink this Spanish battleship, and linn
medately made preparations to do
so.
When it was discovered hat this
ship was an Austrian | found my ship
surrounded by boats carrying dying
and wounded prisoners and others of
the Vizcaya to the number of $50. To
leave these men to suffer for food and
clothing while 1 called my men aft to
offer prayers was not my idea of
either Christianity or religion. I
perferred to clothe the naked, to feed
am strongly of the opinion that AL
mighty God has not put a black mark
against me on account of it.
l do not know whether Ishall stand
with Captain Philip among the first
chosen in hereafter, but have this
to say in conclusion, that every drop
of blood in my body on the afternoon
of the third of July was singing thanks
and praise to Almighty God for the
victory we had won.
Yours respectfully,
