CAMP ALGER, Va, July ia petition
signed by all officers of the One-hundred-
and-fifty-ninth Indiana was sent to In
diana's representatives in Congress to-day
asking that the regiment be sent to "any old
place" where it could be used. The petition
was the result of unwarranted insinuation
that the regiment did not care for service.

the programme.

OFF SANTIAGO DE CUBA, July TO- via
Kingston, Jamaica, July IL, II 80 a. m.-The
board of survey appointed to examine the
wrecks of the Spanish ships and 10 inquire
into the nature of their injuries reports that
only one ship can possibly be saved. She is
the Infanta Maria Teresa, the former flag
ship of Admiral Cervera.
The hull of the Cristobal Colon shows that
she was only hit six times, and then only
by shells of S-inch, 5-inch and 6-inch caliber.
This verifes the story that the commander
of the Cristobal Colon surrendered because
he he could not get away from the
Brooklyn, and to continue the battle meant
a sacrifice of life. 1t was found that the
brass plugs of the large guns and the bolts
and locks of the small arms had been
thrown overheard.
The Vizcaya showed that she had been
riddled by the Brooklyn and Oregon She
had been struck by projectiles larger than
eight inches. Her upper works were riddled
by one and six-pound shells. Nearly all Of
these exploded inside the superstructure
and must have driven the men from the
guns This confirms the story of Captain
Eulate that the Brooklyn's secondary bat
terry fire was SO terrible that the men de-
serted their guns.
The survey board arrived at the wrecks
of the Almirante Oquendo and Infanta
Maria Teresa last night at dark, and the
work was consequently postponed.
A singular fact noted on the four ships is
that all the guns were trained forward, and
the story that they were all directed to fire
on the Brooklyn IS, therefore, shown to be
true
The magazines of all the ships exploded,
and the effect was to blow up the decks
and not completely pulverize the hull or
turn the keel up, as was the case of the
battle ship Maine. This is looked upon as
being important.

Herbert had quite a conference with Secre-

the element that worked the greatest de-
struction among the vessels of the Spanish

vessels had been hit. even in the case of the

fires because all of their woodwork was
