I-inch guns, landing shell close to the Colon. A moment aGterward the Brook iyn opened fire with her S-inch guns, landing a shell just ahead of her. Sew eral other shells were fired at the Colon, now in range of the Brooklyn's and Ore gon's guns. Her commander, seeing all chances of escape cut off and the de- struction awaiting his ship, fired a lee gun and struck her flag at 1:15 p. m., and ran ashore at point some fifty miles west of Santiago haroor. Your flagship was coming up rapidly at the time as was also the Texas and Vixen. A little later, after your arrival, the Cristobal Colon, which had struck to the Brooklyn and the Oregon, was turned over to you as one of the trophies of this great vic- tory of the squadron under your com- mand.
 During my official visit little later Commander Eaton of the Resolute ap- peared and reported to you the presence or a Spanish battle-ship near Altares. Your orders to me were to take the Ore gon and go eastward to meet her, and this was done by the Brooklyn, wich the result that the vessel reported as an enemy was discovered to be the Aus trian cruiser Infanta Maria Teresa, seek ing the commander in chief
 l would mention for your consideration that the Brooklyn occupied the most westward blockading position with the Vixen and, being more directly in the route taken by the Spanish squadron. was exposed for some minutes, possibly ten, to the gun fire of three of the Spanish snlps and the west battery at a range of l5O0 yards from the ships and about 5000 yards from the batteries; but the vessels of the entire squadron, closing in rapidly, soon diverted this lire and did magnificent work at close range.
 I have never before witnessed such deadly and fatally accurate shooting as was done by the ships of your command as they closed in on the Spanish squad ron and l deem it high privilege to commend to you for such action as you may deem proper the gallantry and dash ing courage, the prompt decision and skillful handling of their respective ves- sells, of Captain Philip, Captain Evans, Captain Clark and especially of my chief of staff, Captain Cook, who was directly under my personal observation, and whose coolness promptness and courage were of the highest order. The dense smoke of the combat shut out from view the Indiana and Gloucester, but as these vessels were closer to your flagship no doubt their part In the conflict was under your immediate observation.

 The reports of Commodore w S. Schley and of the commanding officers are inclosed.
 A board appointed by me several days ago has made critical examina- tion of the vessels, both with a view of reporting upon the result of our fire and the necessary feature involved, and of re- porting upon the chance of saving any of them and of wrecking the remainder.

COMMODORE SCHLEYS
 THRILLING REPORT

WASHINGTON, July 26.-The fol- lowing is Commodore Schley's report: North Atlantic Fleet Second Squadron,
 United States Flagship Brooklyn.
 GUANTANAMO BAY, July 6, 1898.
 Sir: l have the honor to make the fol- lowing report of that part of the squadron under your command which came under my observation during the engagement with the Spanish fleet on July 8, 1898.
 At 9:35 a. m. Admiral CerveFa, with the lnfanta Maria Teresa, ViZcaya, Oquendo, Cristobal Colon and two torpedo boat de- stroyers, came out of the harbor of San tiago de Cuba, in column at a distance, and attempted to escape to the westward. Signal was made from the Iowa that the enemy was coming out, but his move ments had been discovered from this ship at the same moment. This vessel was the farthest west, except the Vixen, in the blockading line. Signal was made to the western division as prescribed in your general orders, and there was immediate and rapid movement inward by your squadron and general engagement at ranges beginning at HOO yards and vary ing to 3000 until the Vizcaya was de- stroyed about 10:50 a. m. The concentra- ton of the fire of the squadron upon the ships coming out was most furious and terrific and great damage was done them.
 About twenty or twenty-five minutes after the engagement began two vessels, thought to be the Terror and Oquendo and since verified as such, took fire from the effective shell fire of the squadron and were forced to run on the beach some six or seven miles west of the lar Dor entrance, where they burned and blew up later. The torpedo boat destroy- CTS were destroyed early in the action. but the smoke was so dense in their direction that l cannot say to what yes- sel or vessels the credit belongs This doubtless was seen better from your flag ship.
 The Vizcaya and Colon, perceving the disaster to their consorts, continued at full speed to the westward to escape and were followed and engaged in a run ming fight by the Brooklyn, Texas, Iowa and Oregon until 10:30, when the Vizcaya took fire from our shells. She put her helm to port, and with a heavy list to port stood inshore and ran aground at Aserradero, about twenty-one miles west of Santiago, on fire fore and aft. and where she blew up durin~ the night Observing that she had struck her col orS, and that several vessels were near ing her to capture and save her crew, signal was made to cease firing. The Ore other battleships, she and the Brooklyn. together with the Texas and another ves- sel, which proved to be your flagship, continued westward in pursuit of the Co., lon, which had run close inshore, evi- dently seeking some good spot to beach If she should fail to elude her pursuers.
 This pursuit continued with increasing speed in the Brooklyn, Oregon and other ships, and soon the Brooklyn and the Oregon were within long range of the Co., Ion. and the Oregon opened fire with her
