Captain Evans, who had been in the
thick Of the engagement up to the time
he took the vizcaya's officers and crew
from shore, said to the best Of his knowl-
edge, not one American ship had been
struck.
The torpedo boat ErIccsen. which also
returne- from the westward about the
same time, made a similar report, There
is no means Of telling now what the loss
was, but it is believed to have been very
heavy. as the soldiers in custody report
their decks strewn with dead and wounded
in great numbers, and besides, there is
statement that many bodies could be seen
fastened to pieces Of wreckage floating
in the sea after the fight was over.
a large number of Spanish wounded
were removed 10 the American ships.
There can be no doub, that Admiral
Cevera's plan to escape was entirely un-
expected by Admiral Sampson, and the
best evidence of this is the fact that
when the Spanish vessels were seen COM
ing out OF the harbor the New York was
seven miles away, steaming to the east
ward toward Juraguia, the military base
twenty miles east of MORO. The New
York was out of the fight altogether at
every stage but she Immediately put

For an hour or two they followed the

became victims Of the awful rain Of
shells which the American battle ships
cruisers and gun boats poured upon them
and two hours after the first OF the fee,
had started out OF Santiago harbor three
cruisers and two torpedo boat destroyers
were lying on the shore ten 10. hfteen
miles west Of Moro castles, pounding TO
pieces, smoke and flames pouring from
every part OF them, covering the entire
coast lire with a mist which could be
seen for miles.
Heavy explosions Of ammunition oc-

Of dense white smoke a hundred feet in

The blutls on the coast line re-echoed

spanish vessels sank deeper and deeper

their hulls to pieces as they rolled o.

upon them from the open sea.
Admiral Cervera escaped TO the shore
In boat sent by the Gloucester to the
assistance OF the Infunta Maria Teresa
and as soon as he touched the beach he
surrendered himself and his command to
Lieutenant Morton and asked to be taken
aboard the Gloucester, which was the only
American vessel near him at the time,
with several OF his officers including the
captain Of the flagship. The Spanish ad-
miral, who was wounded in the arm, was
taken to the Gloucester and was received
at her gangway by her commander Lieu
