though unable to engage the heavier ships
of the enemy with his light guns, nevert he

The result of the engagement" he con-
tinues, was the destruction of the Span
ish squadron and the capture of the ad-
miral and some thirteen to fifteen hundred
prisoners, with the loss of several hundred
killed, estimated by Admiral Cervera at
600 men. The casualties on board this ship
were: C. H. Ellis, chief yeoman, killed: ].

wounded. The marks and scars show that
the snip was struck ABOUT twenty-five
times and she bears in all forty-one scars
as the result of her participation in the
great victory of your force on July 3, 1898.
The speed-cone halliards were shot away,
and nearly all the signal hafliards. The
ensign at the main was so shattered that
in hauling it down at the close of the ac-

Since reaching this place and holding con-

Capt Eulate of the Vizcaya and the second

fire for a while the Brooklyn, and the
Vizcaya to ram her, in hopes that if they
could destroy her, the chance of escape
was the swiftest ship of your squadron.
the ViZcaya's action in the earlier moments
of the engagement. The execution of this
purpose was promptly defeated by the fact
that all the ships of the squadron advanced
into close range and opened an irresistibly
furious and terrific fire upon the enemy'S
squadron as it was coming out of the har-
Dor.
