The rejoicing on the Spanish side over his safe arrival in the Cuban port ought really to have taken the form of Napo- Icons rage when he learned that ville- neuve had put into Cadiz: What sac ritlces for nothing What an admiral!

the greatest being aboard the Iowa. Our loss was one man killed and one wounded, both on the Brooklyn. It IS difficult to explain this immunity rom loss of life or injury to ships in com bat with modern vessels of the business type, but Spanish gunnery is poor at the best and the superior weight and craftsmanship on our side soon told The fire from the rapid-fire batteries of the battleships appears to have been remarkably destructive. An eXamina- tion of the stranded vessels shows that the Almirante Oquendo especially had suffered terribly from this fire. Her sides were everywhere pierced and her decks were streWn with the charred remains of those who had fallen.
 15. The report of Commodore w. s. Schley and the commanding officers are enclosed.
 16. A board appointed by me several days ago has made critical examina- tion of the stranded vessels, both with a view of reporting upon the result of our fire and the military features in- volved, and of reporting upon the chance of saving any of them and of wrecking the remainder. The report of the board will be speedily forwarded.

diately below the top of the cofferdam on the berth deck in compartment A 104. The projectile broke off the hatch plate and perforated the walls of the chain locker. The explosion created a small fire, which was promptly eXtin- guished. The hole in the side made by this projectile was about five feet above the water line and was two to three feet above the berth deck. One frag- ment of this shell struck a link of the sheet chain, wound around the six pounder ammunition hoist and cut the link in two. Another perforated the cotferdam on the port side and slightly disabled the outside plating. These two wounds fortunately were not of se- rious importance. Two or three other projectiles of small calibre struck about the upper bridge and smokestacks, in flicting trihing damage, and four other small projectiles struck the hammock nettings and the side aft.
 15. There were no casualties among the ships company to report No off, cer nor man was injured during the en- gagement.

 I take pleasure In stating to you, sir, that the coolness and judgment of the executive officer, Lieutenant Ray mond P. Rodgers, deserves, and will hope, receive proper reward at the hands of the government. The test of 1 the executive officers work is the con duct of ship and crew in battle-in this 1 case it was simply superb.
 The coolness Of the navigator, Lieu tenant W. H. Scuetzen and of Lieuten- ant F. K. Hill, in charge of the rapid fire guns on the upper deck is worthy of the greatest commendation.
 Other officers of the ship did not come under my personal observation but the result of the action shows how we'll they did their duty.

CRUISE


 The most interesting but at the same time the most inexplicable event of the war has been Admiral Cervera's voyage from St Vincent to Santiago de Cuba. In the first place, the choice of a neu- tral port and of it's inconveniences to start from, is not applicable by the statement that St. Vincent was six hundred miles nearer to Martinique than Tenerffe was. From Teneriffe to Key West is not much more than forty five hundred miles, and even liberal allowance would have permitted Cerve- ra to take his squadron seventy five
