point five miles west of Moro castle, pour
ing sho. after shot into them all the ,ime.
Her efforts bore abundant fruit. for 10 her
belongs the credit for the destruction of
both of the destroyers. She fired 1.4oo
shots during the chase. and it was not long
before both destroyers were on fire ana
plainly disabled. Notwithstanding they
both returned the Gloucester's fire and a
rain of small shells fell around the yacht
The Furor evidently determined that she
would not stand the fire any longer. and
she put about and headed hack for San
tiago. Then the Gloucester simply smoth-
cred her with shots from her rapid fire
guns. and running like the wind forced
her to turn around and again head west
ward. Smoke commenced TO rise from the
F,uror's sides and she put In toward the
shore. Before she had gone far wha, was
left of her crew abandoned her and took
TO the boats, reaching the shore later. Ey
that time, she was a mass OF flames and
was drifting along helpless.y.
The Pluton was in the same distressed
condition ard was also headed for the
shore. running up alongside of a low blum
where she soon pounded 10 pieces and
finally broke in two completely. 1t was a
most dangerous landing place for her crew.
and but about half of them reached the
shore alive.
The Gloucester did not 60 any further
west but lay of shore and sent In boat
to the assistance OF the crews of the de-
stroyers.
The flagship and the Oquendo were the
first 20 show signals of distress. Two thir-
ten-inch shells from one of the battleships
had struck the Maria Teresa at the water
une tearing great holes in her side and
causing her to fill rapidly. The Oquendo
suffered about the same fate, and both
ships headed for a small cove and went
aground two hundred yards from the shore,
flames shooting from them in every direc-
ton.
The officers and crew must have been
aware OF the fate which seemed to be be-
fore them, but ii was not until the ships
were on fire and enyeioped in flames and
smoke that the men ceased firing.
The Gloucester. after sending a boat
ashore TO the Pluton. steamed along the
coast 20 where the armored cruisers were
stranded and went 10 their assistance. One
seaman swan through the surf with line
from the Maria Teresa. making 1t fast TO
a tree on the shore. BY this means many
OF the Spaniards. including Admiral Cerve-
"a. lowered themselves into the Glouces-
ter's boats. The Gloucester's crew gave
the wounded men every attention possible.

by the Colon before their captains
ran them ashore. Their crews
fought with desperate bravery,
but their courage was no match
for the courage Of our men, added
to their superb gunnery. TIE
Spanish shells went wide for the
most part, but the American gun
fire was marked by merciiess
precision. The two cruisers, both
on fire. were beacbed not more
than a quarter Of a mile apart.
The most dramatic feature OF
the battle was the contest between
the torpedo boat destroyers and
the Gloucester. The latter was
struck several times, and is the
only American vessel reported
damaged. At first the Gloucester
fired upon them with her six
Founders, but they ran past her
and engaged the battIeships. Find
ing the fire too hot, they turned
and attacked the Gloucester again
until both destrOyers were ahre
and had 10 be beached. Their
crews threw themselves in the SURF
to save their lives.
Just before this the New York
came up and assisted in giving
the finishing blow to the destroy
ers. There was explosion after
explosion from the beaehed yes
sells.
1t was at first reported that Ad-
miral Cervera was dead.
