IL is a most lucid report that the ma =
val board OF which Lieutenant Com
mander Wainwright is chairman has
furnished Of the great naval battle off
Santiago and while it contributes moth
ing radically new TO the stories OF the
engagement already familiar IL brings
out the work OF individual ship
and individual commanders more
sharply and demonstrates how eff
hcient they all We're in bringing about
the sum total result. 1t appears for
instance that Fighting Bob" Evans
and his fine ship, the Iowa, performed
far more conspicuous part than most
folks have realized, contrasted as il
was by the particularly brilliant
achievements OF the Brooklyn and Ore
gon, which kept up the chase until the
Cristobal Colon, which was likely TO
get away. surrendered. 1t appears from
the chart accompanying the report that |
the Iowa although outside the balance |
of the fleet and farther east than the |
Brooklyn and Texas got well inside the
pursuing line OF American ships and
when the Nlzcaya, the third Spaniard
to be sunk, threw up the sponge. she
was right on top of her, nearer i'm range
and to shore than either the Oregon or
the Brooklyn. which with the Iowa. had
outstripped the Texas and left the In
diana far behind. There the Iowa stop-
ped to rescue the perishing from the
Nizcaya. But one Spanish ship was left
the Colon. and the Brooklyn and ore
gon were rapidly overhauling her. Had
Il been necessary the captain of the
Iowa would doubtless have abandoned
the unfortunate crew of the Vizcaya 70
their fate to keep in the chase. But the
Oregon and Brooklyn were evidently
sufficient to take care of the fleeing
Colon.
