ments from Santiago. For Instance. one
statement from Santiago is as follows:
when Admiral Cervera found that II
was certain Col. Escario's reenforcements
were in proximity to Santiago the ad-
miral held a council with the commanders
OF his squadron disclosing 10 them plan
TO force the blockade In broad daylight.
The commanders responded unanimously:

pedoes against the enemy's ships. the Girls

tered by the batteries OF MORO castle, and
distracting the enemy's attention while
the remainder of the squadron sailed out
OF the harbor. The Americans at first were
taken by surprise. Then recovering, they
opened a tremendous fire, especially against
the torpedo-boat destroyers, which yes
sells Admiral Cervera had Instructed TO
steer an opposite course TO the squadron.
The Americans were deceived, and ma
neuvrcd toward the supposed course OF
the Spaniards, while Admiral Cervera went
fun steam ahead, maintaining a continu-
Gus fire until clear OF the American lines
and then steamed away westward, pur-
sued and breasted FOR some distance by
the swiftest American vessels, until they
were lost sight OF from MORO castle. In
the meantime the torpedo-boat destroyers
sank under a rain OF shell from the nu-
merous American warships. IL Is pre-
sumed part or their crews were saved

rejoicing
In military circles II Is considered that

changed, but the universal expression OF

II do" replied the colonel.
"Wall, trot out your record, and well
see about it. What you got to brag
about?"
IL take deep interest in the well

colonel.
That's good-what else?"

jest so, colonel--that's kind o. you.
Anything else you can think OFF,
