slasm. The second fight was even moro fierce than the first. It was in that that the Baltimore was struck.
 During the first fight the Spanish admir- als ship put bravely out of the line to meet the Olympia. The American fleet concen- trated- fire on her and she was so badly injured that she turned around to put back. At this juncture the Olympia let fly an B. inch shell which struck her stern and pierced through her almost entire length, exploding in the engine room, wrecking her machinery This shell killed the cap- tain and sixty men and set the vessel on fire. In the heat of the fire two torpedo boats moved out to attack the feet They were allowed to come within 800 yards when fusilade from the Olympia sent one of them to the bottom with all on board and riddled the other. The second boat was later found upon the beach covered with beod
 The Second Fight
 In the second fight the Baltimore was sent to silence the fort at Cavite. She plunged into a cloud of smoke, and opened all her batteries on the Notifications. In a very few minutes a shell fell in the am munition, and the latter blew up with a deafening roar. The work of the Baltimore was glorious. After the principal ships had been destroyed, the Concord, Raleigh and Petrel. being of light draught, were s mt close to handle the remaining vesses of tn fleet. They made quick work of them In taking possession of the land forts, sey- eral hundred wounded Spaniards fell into the hands of the Americans, and nearly 200 dead were counted on the spot.
 Holes in which number had to be has, tlly buried were found. The dead were re- turned to relatives so far as this could be done, and the wounded were cared for in the best manner by the American surgeo s.
 The Spanish loss footed up to 400 dead, 600 wounded, and property loss anywhere from $6,000, 900 to $10, 900.
 The day was clear and hot. Not a breath of air was stirring.
 After the first battle the Americans were greatly fagged by heat, and the rest and breakfast allowed them by the commo lore was of inestimable benefit. When the men were at breakfast a conferenc of a l the officers was held on board the Olymp a., when the plan of the second battle was made known by the commodore.
 Several shots struck the Olympia, and she was pierced a number of times. Ore shell struck the side of the ship against the hospital ward. The chaplain and the nurses were watching the fight through a port a few yards away, and were stunned by the concussion Experts have figur d out that the fighting volume of tho guns or
