lines, such as what consideration was given

From the reports of 6,976 employers an

CAPT. EVANS STORY.
Part Taken In the Engagement by
the Iowa Described.

Part Taken In the Engagement by
the Iowa Described.
The honor of discovering the attempt of
the enemy to escape is claimed by both the
Iowa and the Brooklyn. Capt. Evans of
the former -eports:
"On the morning of the Sd. while the
crew was at quarters for Sunday inspection,
the leading vessel of the Spanish squadron
was sighted at 9:31 coming out of the har-
Dor Of Santiago de Cuba. Signal "eremy's
ships coming OUT was Immediately hoisted
and a gun fired to attract attention. The
call to general quarters was sounded i'm
mediately, the battery was ready for firing
and the engines rung full speed.
THE position of this vessel at the time of
sighting the squadron was the usual block
aiding station off the entrance of the har-
Dor, MORO Castle bearing about north and
distant about three to four miles. The
steam at this time in the boilers was suffi-
Gent for a speed of five knots.
Immediately upon sighting the leading
vessel fires were spread and the Iowa
headed toward the leading Spanish ship.
About $40 the first shot was fired from
TINS snip at distance of about 5000 yards
The course of this vessel was SO laid that
the range speedily diminished. A number
OF SHOTS were hred at ranges varying be-
tween 5000 and 4;e80 yards. The range wa 5,
rapidly reduced to $500 yards and subse-
quenqy to 1000 and to 100 yards.
When IT was certain that the Maria:
Teresa would pass ahead Of us the helm
was put to the. starboard- and the star
board broadside delivered at a range of
1890 yards. The helm was then put to port
and the ship headed across the bow of the
second Ship and as she drew ahead the
helm was again put to starboard and she

yards. The Iowa was again headed of
with the port helm for the third ship, and
as she approached the helm was put to

ma tely that of the Spanish ship. In this
position, at a range of 1 100 yards the ire

guns, was poured into the eAemy's ships
About 10 O'Clock the encmy's torpedo-
boat destroyers Furor and Fulton were OBJ

following the Spanish squadron. AT the
time that they were observed. and, in fact
most of the time that they were under fire
they were at a distance varying from 4 500
ana 1000 yards. As soon as they were dis
covered the secondary battery continued to
engage the Ffzcaya, Oquendo and Maria

she was run upon the rocks.
AFTER having passed, at 1875, the
