from h American g%unboats. Two
~gunboats that had put out from the
Cavite breakwater with evident intent
to destroy the nearest American ves-
sells were speedily forced to return
within shelter of the Notifications.
The arsenal at the Cavite fortihca-
tions exploded during the engagement,
probably from the American shells, and
40 Spaniards were killed. The forts
made a nominal resistance, but were
quickly overpowered. The shore gar
rison did not c~apitulate. however. and
when the American feet ceased firing
h Spaniards on shore were still de-
fiant.
The Spanish ships caught fire one after
another or were driven to %groundings 10
save their crews. Commodore Dewey con-
tinued the fighting until the last vessel of
the enemy had been destroyed. BY that
time the shore batteries had been ST.
fenced and the Amerir~- fleet had won
a remarkable victs.,. The American
ships were kept under way to maneuver
about the Spanish fleet. BY this means
much Of the enemy's fire was rendered
harmless. The spectacle of the American
warships maneuvering as IL on parade
and at the same time directing a terrific
fire at the enemy's ships and forts was a
magnificent tribute to the skill and dis
ciJline of modern naval warfare.
There were only a few slight casualties
all told among the ships of the American
fleet. the worst of which resulted from an
explosion of ammunition on the deck of
the Baltimore. The other ships of the fleet
were practically uninjured. At least $50
are known TO have been killed
during the engagement and several hun
dred were wounded besides. Some reports
place the total loss of the Spanish fleet
at 800 killed and 400 wounded.
