from her after guns. There seemed no possibility whatever of her escape and while her fate is not definitely known at this hour, it can be readily imagined from the words of Captain Robley D. Evans of the Iowa, who re- turned from the westward with $50 prisoners from the Vizcaya just as the Associated Press dispatch boat Wanda was leaving the flagship.
 THE FATE OF THE COLON.
 In answer to an inquiry, he shouted through the megaphone: T left the Cristobal Colon far to the westward an hour ago and the Oregon was giving her hell. She has undoubtedly gone down with the others and we'll have the Fourth of July celebration in San tiago tomorrow" Captain Evans, who had been in the thick of the engage ment up to the time he took the Viz caya officers and crew from the shore. said that to the best of his knowledge not one American ship had been struck. The torpedo boat Ericsson. which also returned from the west ward at about the same time, made a similar report, saying it was believed no man was injured on board the American ships, though another re- port had it that one man was killed on board the Brooklyn, which could not be verified as this dispatch was sent

THE OFFICIAL ACCOUNT.
All the Spanish Commanding Officers
 but One Were Captured.

Washington, July Alt 11:25 to- night the navy department posted a translation of a cipher cablegram re- ceived from Admiral Sampson. but contained :ne additional information that $50 Spaniards were killed or drowned, 160 wounded and 1,600 cap tured. Commodore Watson's dispatch followed:
 .'Playa del Esta, July. 8. "To the Secretary of the Navy, Wash
 ington, D. C.:
 "At 9:30 a. m. today the Spanish squadron, seven in all, including one gunboat, came out of Santiago in a column and were totally destroyed within an hour, excepting the Cristo- bal Colon, which was chased forty-five miles to the westward by the New York, the Brooklyn, the Oregon and the Texas, surrendering to the Brook lyn. She was beached to prevent sinking. None of our officers or men were injured except on board the Brooklyn Chief Yeoman Ellis was killed and one man wounded. Admiral Cervera, all the commanding officers except the captain of the Oquendo, about seventy other officers, and 1,6OO men are prisoners. About $50 were killed or drowned and about 150 in- jured, the latter being cared for on the Solace and Olivette.

 MILES OF DESTRUCTION.
 One or another of the Spanish ships became victims of the awful rain of shells which the American battleships, cruisers and gunboats poured upon them and two hours after the first of the fleet had started out of Santiago harbor, the cruisers and the two tor pedo boat destruyers were lying on the shore ten to fifteen miles west of Moro castle, pounding to pieces, smoke and flame pouring from every part of them and covering the entire coast line with mist which could be seen for miles. Explosions of ammu- hilton occurred every few minutes, sending curls of dense white smoke a hundred feet in the air and causing a shower of broken iron and steel to fall in the water on every side. The bluffs on the coast line echoed with the roar of every explosion and the Spanish vessels sank deeper and deeper into the sand or else the rocks ground their hulls to pieces as they rolled or pitched forward or sidewise with every wave that washed upon them from the open sea
 THE TAKING OF CERVERA.
 Admiral Cervera escaped to shore in a boat sent by the Gloucester to the assistance of the Infanta Maria Teresa and as soon as he touched the beach he surrendered himself and his con- mand to Lieutenant Morton and asked to be taken aboard the Gloucester which was then the only American vessel near him at the time, with sev- eral of his officers, including the cap- tain of the flagship. The Spanish ad+ mira1, who was wounded in the Grm was taken to the Gloucester and was received at her gangway by her com mander, Lieutenant-Comma Rich ard Wainwright, who grasped the hand of the gray bearded admiral and said to him: "1 congratulate you, sir, upon having made as gallant fight as was ever witnessed on the sea-" Lieuten- and-Commander Wainwright theI placed his cabin at the disposal of the Spanish officers.
 At that time the Spanish flagship and four other Spanish vessels ha6 been aground and burning for two hours, and the only one of the escap- ing fleet which could not be seen al this point was the Cristobal Coloa But a half dozen curls of smoke fal down on the western horizon showed ] the fate that was awaiting him. The ! Cristobal Colon was the fastest of tht 1 Spanish ships and she soon obtained z l lead over the others after leaving tht

 CERVERA'S DASH.
 Admiral Cor-vara nado ac gallant a dash for liberty and for the preserva- ton of his ships as has ever occurred in the history of naval warfare. In the face of overwhelming odds, with nothing before him but inevitable de- struction if he remained any longer in the trap in which the American fleet held. him. he made a bold dash from the harbor at the time the Americans expected him to do so, and lighting every inch of his way, even when his ship was ablaze and sinking, he tried to escape the doom which was written on the muzzle of every American gun trained upon his vessels.
 The Americans saw him the me- ment he left and commenced the Work of destruction immediately. For al hour or two they followed the flying Spanish to the westward along the shore line, sending shot after shot into their hulls, tearing great holes II their steel sides and covering the1l decks with the blood of the killed and wounded. At no time did the Span iards show any indication that they intended to do otherwise than fight te the last. They showed no signals o surrender even when the ships com. menced to sink, and great clouds O smoke pouring from their sides showed that they were on fire. But the! turned their heads toward the shore less than a mile away and ran then on the beach and rocks, where thei destruction was soon completed.
