Total Loss.
WASHINGTON. July 8. - Secretary
Long has received word through Gen.
eral Greedy, signal officer, which is ac-
cepted as confirming the report that
the Spanish ship Alfonso XII was de.
stroyed while trying to run the Ha-
vana blockade. General Greely's in.
formation came in cipher message
and he considers the report reliable.
The ship is said to be total loss. Sec.
rotary Long regarded the report as the
best news Of the day. Both the secre-
tary and General Greedy regarded the
report as authentic, but there was q
desire to get fuller details, as this has
been something of a specter ship. The
Alfonso XII is an iron gunboat with
l screw, / funnel and military mast,
barque rugged, $50 feet long, 43 feet
beam and Is feet draught She has
displacement of 5000 tons. She had
speed Of II knots for short distances
and an average speed of IA knots. She
carried 10 large guns, machine guns
and torpedo tubes. Her officers and
crew numbered $40.

The place was the strongest Spanish

way, even when his ship was ablaze
and sinking, he tried to escape the
doom which was written on the muz-
zle of every American gun trained
upon his vessels.
The Americans saw him the moment
he left the harbor and commenced
their work of destruction Immediately.
For two hours they followed the flying
Spaniards to the westward along the
shore line, sending shot after shot into
their blazing hulls, tearing great holes
in their steel sides and covering their
decks with the blood of the killed and
wounded.
Driven on tho Rocks.
At no time did the Spaniards show
any indication that they intended to do
otherwise than fight to the last. They
showed no signals of surrender, even
when their ships commenced to sink,
and the great clouds of smoke pouring
from their sides showed they were on
fire. But they turned their heads toward
the shore, less than q mile away, and
ran them on the beach and rocks,
where their destruction was soon com.
pleted. The officers and men on board
then escaped to the shore as we'll as
they could, with the assistance of boats
sent from the American men.of.war,
and then threw themselves upon the
mercy Of their captors, who not only
extended to them the gracious hand Of
American chivalry, but sent them a
guard to protect them from the mur.

his vessel to the shore and beached her.
She was blazing in a score of places,
her guns kept at work, and the white
flag never showed until she was com.
pletely disabled.
The Oquendo and Vizoaya were op.
posed to the Iowa, Texas and Indiana,
and went down to defeat with fearful
swiftnesss covering only about half
the distance made by the Colon before
their captains ran them ashore. Their
crews Iougns with desperate bravery,
but their courage was no match for the
courage Of our men added to their

went wild for the most part, but the
American gun fire was marked by mer.
oiless precision. The two cruisers,
both on fire, were beached not more
than a quarter Of mile apart.
The Gloucester Does Good Work.
The most dramatic feature of the
battle was the contest between the tor.
