them with Cubans. Gen. Garcia is not the
only Cuban who is dissatisfied with the ac-
ton Of Gen. Shafter; petition signed by
1000 names has been forwarded to Presi-
dent Mckinley. 1t reads as follows;
''We, the undersigned, Cubans by birth,
residents of the city Of Santiago, represent
ing with our families the non. combatant
population which has suffered for SO many
years from Spanish rule, wish to express
the warmest thanks to the people of the
United States for having delivered us from
the insutferable Spanish nation. We wish
to express also our absolute confidence in
their good faith and humanitarian purpose,
and in the solemn word of the United States,
which pledged that the territory of Cuba
would not be made the spoil of conquest,
that our country is and will be free and in
dependent, and that a stable government
of our own people, capable of fulfilling in
ternational obligations, will be established
in this, until now, unhappy island.
1.-The future of Cuba may be to form
part of the territory Of the United States.
1t is not our intention to oppose that solu-
ton. That probably will come in few
years, and will surely add to the comfort
and happiness of this people. But now all
long for government of their own. and,
as compensation for the long suffering and
heroism Of their army, for the definite es-
tablishment of the republic of Cuba, with
its own Cuban authorities, according to the
noble resolution Of the American congress.
"We Iope that the present state Of af
fairs in Santiago, where the Spanish have
still in their hands the administration, our
interests, fate and property, will be short,
and that the city will be turned over to the
Cubans, and the leaders of our army enter
it with the flag Of Cuba waving triumphant
ly side by side with the American flag, as
side by side the Cubans fought with the
A mericans against their common enemy

Sir:
In accordance with the requirements of
article 437, navy regulations. I respectfully
submit the following statement, in regard
to the part the Texas took in the engage

At daylight on the morning of the Sd the
Texas stood out from entrance to harbor,
taking day blockading position about three
miles from the Moro the MORO bearing

At 9:35, the Moro bearing n. by E. X E.

stroyers. which appeared more than A
match Tor the Gloucester, she being the
only small vessel near to engage them.
They were soon seen to blow up apparent-
iy struck by our 6-inch and 6-pounders
We now fired our large guns at the Viz
caya. which was at long range; she made
Tor the shore soon after, on fire and bat
terry silenced. These ships hauled down
their colors as they made for the beach
The Spanish flagship hoisted the white flag
as she grounded.
s. We now ceased firing The Colon was
observed well over the western horizon
closely pursued by the Brooklyn Oregon
and Texas, off shore of her. The flagship
New YORK, steamfng full speed TO the west
ward as soon as the Vizcaya surrendered,
signaled us, Go back and guard entrance
of harbor." Several explosions were observe
ed on board the burning ships. At noon
turned and stood to the eastward for our
station in obedience to the above signal.
Observed the Harvard and several trans
ports standing to the westward.
8. About 1890 the Resolute came within
nail and informed us by megaphone that a
Spanish battle ship was sighted TO the east
ward, standing toward us. Later the Har-
ward passed. confirming the information
and adding that the ship was painted white
we made out the vessel ahead and stood
for her with our guns bearing. She proved
to be the Austrian armored cruiser KAISER
In Maria Teresa. She sent an officer on
board and requested permission to enter tina
harbor / referred him to the commander
in-chief. She then stood on to the west
ward and We resumed our station.
10. During this action we used no armor-
piercing shell except the smokeless-p powder
slX-pounders, and the good effect of the
common shell is shown by the fires on the
enemy S ships and the short time taken
to disable them without piercing their arm
or, and with almost no injury to our ships

to his credit when it is remembered that
a large proportion of the officers and men
were unframed when the Gloucester was
commissioned. Throughout the action he
was on the bridge and carried out my or
ders with great GOODNESS. That we were
able to close in with the destroyers-and
until we did SO they were not seriously
injured-was largely due to the skill and
constant attention of Passed Assistant En-
gineer George w. McElroy. The blowers
were put on and the speed increased to
seventeen knots without causing tube to
leak or a brass to heat. Lieutenant Thos.
C. Wood, Lieutenant George H. Norman,

controlled the fire of the guns in their di-
