THE OFFICIAL STORY.
Account of Destruction of Cervera's Fleet
Sent to Spain.


Sent to Spain.
Kingston, Jamaica, July 11.--Lieuten-
ant Adolphus Kentreres, the executive
officer of the Spanish cruiser Cristobal
Colon, has written to Spain an official
account of the movement Of Admiral
Cervera's squadron in the fight. The
Colon came out last at full speed and
tried to escape the Brooklyn and Ore
gon, but was compelled to beach 60
miles west of Santiago at 1:15 and not
at 2 o'clock. as stated in Admiral Samp-
sons report. The translation of the let
ter by Executive officer Kentreres Is as
follows:
About 9 O'clock the squadron got UNI
der way, the ships one cable distance
from each other. AT $3.50 the lnfanta
Maria Teresa cleared the entrance to
the harbor without receiving any fire
until she had passed the MORO. The
VIsSaya felt the fire when at the head
of the entrance as well as the Cristobai
Colon, and 1t is certain that the Alml-
rante Oquendo opened fire while within
the channel
when clear OF the entrance the Girls
tobal Colon went ahead at her maxi
mum speed. The Infantn Maria Teresa
when hardly clear OF the entrance was
seenfto be on fire in her after part and
a few moments afterward was headed
for the beach. A quarter Of an houi
later the Almirante Oquendo was seen
to be on fire, and she, too, was headed
for the beach at the same point.
THE Vizoaya and the Cristobal Colon
continued the- fight. The former, about
IL o'clock, seeing herself overhauled by
the Brooklyn, Unanswered as IL to ram.

France May Act For Her.
The British foreign office fully expects
that Spain will ask France to act for
her and that the preliminary nesotia-
tons for peace will De conducted
through Paris. This information is un-
derstood to erianare from Sir Edmund
Monson, the British ambassador at
Paris.
The ministers here do not conceal
their desire for peace, but it was aver
red in the best informed quarters that
no definite proposal has been made yet
owing TO the vacillation OF the Madrid
cabinet and the failure of all efforts to
induce the Spanish opposition parties

Big Drydoek Ready at Last.

Washington, July 11.-Adnliral Bunce
SAINT the welcome news 10 the navy de-
partmsnt today that the repairs on the
big drydock at the Brooklyn navy yard
known IS drydock No. 3, had been COM
platsd. Nj that remains is TO take away
the temporary cofferla,n which has
bees used pending the repairs. This can
be done within 50 days, 10 days notice
being allowed 20 the contractors. In
the meantime the big dock will be
available for cur largest warships. 1t
is expected that the battleship Iowa can
BE- :ocked there within the next three
weeks. and the damage she suffered
during the enga cement with Admiral
Cervera's feet repaired.
The completion of this dock has been
awaited with great anxiety by the navy
department, as our big warships have
been practically without any docking
facilities pending repairs to the Brook
Ign dock 1t was thought the work
would be completed within a short time.
but it has run along for many months
and has proved more of an undertaking
than was first thought. New gates We're
put in, and in order Ito carry on this
work a cofferdam of sheathed piles was
swung outside of the gates. Now that
only the cofferdam remains to be re-
moved naval officials propose to do
away with this without awaiting the
full 40 days allowed for notice OF re-
noval and the removal itself. This will
oe by beginning the removal in the mid
ile which is expected to open a pass
ageway wide enough for the Iowa or
other battlaships.
With the Brooklyn dock in service
the navy will be able to give our ships
The docking they have long needed.
