Dr Kindleberger gives a graphic ac-
count of the terrific fight. He was on the
| Olvmpia through it all. In the first as
| SAINT the flagship took the lead. the other
| vessels following in her wake at four
ship's lengths, The Spanish fleet was
annroached bv laps, each turn bringing
the contestants nearer. Bv this plan the
American vessels frequently poured
hroadsides into the enemy. but were
themselves more exposed to fire. Atone
tima tho smoke hacome so dense that il
the cloud to lift. The vessels were ex-
amined, and it was found that they had
sustained no damage. Breakfast was
served to the men, and in a few minutes
they re-entered the fight with the great
est enthusiasm. The second fight was
even more fierce than the first. 1t was
in that that the Baltimore was struck.
During the first fight the Spanish ad-
miraTs ship put bravely out of the line
to meet the Olympia The entire Ameri-
can fleet concentrated fire on her. and
she was so badly injured that she turned
around to put back. At this junCture
the Olympia let fly an eight-inCh she'll
which struck her stern and pierced
through almost her entire length ex-
ploding finally in the engine room, wreck
ing her machinery. This shell killed the
captain and so men, and set the vessel on
fire. In the heat of the fight two tor
pedo boats moved out to attack the fleet
They were allowed to come within 500
yards, when fusillade from the OLYMPIA
sent one to the bottom with all on board
