The admiral was again forced to escape

The defenses of Manila and its batteries,
as well as those at Cavite, were siIenced

shot and shell.
During Saturday night the vessels Of the

They were not observed by any of the
watchers on the Spanish garrisons until
some stray sparks were emitted from the

The challenge was given by the Reina

The Olympia replied and at once the en-
tire American fleet was in action.
The Spanish ships did not hesitate In
their fire, and the cavite batteries let loose
their heavy guns.
The best gunners in the American fleet
manned the most destructive weapons on
their ships and the havoc wrought was
frightful.
The engagement soon. became general
The Hugh McCulloch remained at some
distance from the brunt of the encounter
and the enemy's shells passed, but did not
touch her.

and meanwhile the main ships of the
American fleet were pouring in deadly
fire, doing great execution both in the
Spanish fleet and in the Cavite fortifica-

The American cruiser Baltimore. at one
period of the engagement, received the
brunt of the ,enemys fire, and suffered the
most of any vessel in the American squad
ron. From FIVE to ten of the enemy's
shots took effect on the Baltimore, but
none of her officers or crew was seriously
hurt.
+ AS soon as the Spanish admiral left the
Reina Maria Christina, and boarded the
Isla de Cuba, the fire was directed at the
latter mercilessly, every S-inch gun on ev-
cry ship joining those Of the flagship.
The Isla de Cuba was riddled.
After a few rounds she was put out Of
action, and almost before Admiral Montejo
had had time TO get his bearings he was
driven out a second time.
The Spanish cruiser Satlla burst into
flames under the remarkable gunnery of
Dewey's men.
The American commodore then directed
a hot fire against the batteries. This was
surprise to Admiral Montejo, who ap-
parently thought himself secure under the
guns of the Cavite fortifications.
The Olympia led the squadron into the
bay through the channel, and the fleet had
passed Corregidor Island before the Span

fired from the battery, 10 which the RAJ
