juries reports that only one ship can possibly be
saved She Is the Infanta Maria Teresa. the
former flagship of Admiral Cervera.
The hull OF the Cr,stobal Colon shows she was
hit only six times, and then only by shells OF
S-inch. 3-inch and 6-pounder calibre. This veri-
f1es the story that the commander OF the Cristo-
bal Colon surrendered because he saw she coud
not get away from the Brooklyn and the Ore

of hfe 1t was found that the breechplugs Of
the large guns and the bolts and locks OF the
small arms had been thrown overheard.
The Vfzcaya showed she had been riddled by
the Rroollvn and the Oregon She had not
been struck by projecties larger than Inches
There was no sign Of her having been struck by
q shell Of II or L., inches. Her upper works were
riddled by one FOUNDER and six-pounder shells.
Nearly all OF these shells exploded inside the
supc rstructure and must have driven the men
from the guns. This confirms the story OF cap

The Survey Board arrived at the wrecks OF the

July 1.-THE shores Of this little cove were the
busiest place in Cuba this afternoon Five
thousand men were either disembarking from
steamers preparing to take up the march TO
General Skaters headquarters near Santiago
de Cuba
There was as much confusion as il ten cir
cuses were preparing to make camp. The ON
GERS were looking for horses and mules, trying
to keep their men together and sending SICK men
to the hospital. and attending to rations ana
baggage. The Engineers were building roush

cruiser ST. Paul has also arrived with the 9Th

anchor quite a distance from the shore. which
necessitates long pull in the boats in order to
get the men ashore.
The landing Of troops is necessarily made IN
small boats carrying from fifteen to twenty
men each The boats run through light SUR,

the men often get wet.
