the lofty green-tipped hills of the Cuban mountains.
 Commodore schley, coming alongside tho Texas from the Cristobal Colon in his gig, called out cheerily, Tt was a nice fight, Jack, wasn't it?"
 The veterans of the Texas lined up and gave three hearty cheers and a tiger for their old commander-in-ehief. Captain Philip called all hands to the quarter deck, and with barred head thanked God for the almost bloodless victory.
 ''I want to make public acknowledgment here," he said, that I believe in God the Father Almighty. I want all of you officers and men to lift your hats and from your hearts offer silent thanks to the Almighty"
 All hats were off. There was a moment or two of absolute silence, and then the overwrought feelings of the ships compa- ny relieved themselves in three healrty and prolonged cheers for their beloved com mander.
 The Brooklyn, later in the afternoon. started east to chase a report that another Spanish warship had been seen. The vessel turned out to be the Austrian cruiser Ma ria Theresa.
 The Resolute came rp, and the work of transferring the prisoners from the Cristo- bal Colon to her was begun. Five hundred and thirty men were taken off. Eight were missing.
 
 It was hoped that the Cristobal Colon might be saved as 8 Fourt of July gift to our navy. She was beached bow on sandy shore, and her stern was afioat. She was not materially damaged by the shots that had struck her. One 13-inch shell and one S-inch shell had hit her. bur it was found that the Spaniards had taken every mean measure to destroy her after they themselves were safe. They had opened all the ports and smashed the dead lights. They had even thrown the breech plugs of their guns overheard.
 The Colon foated off at o'clock in the evening and drifted 800 yards down the beach to the westward swinging bow out The New York pushed her back stern on the beach, but the water was already up to her gun deck. At Il o'clock she lurched and turned over on her starboard side, with her port guns pointing straight up to the sky. She lies only in four fath- oms of water, but it is unlikely that she can ever be saved

hoodoo, but now the old hero. The Texas steamed west with her adversary, and as she could not catch her with speed she did with her shells. Captain John w. Philip directed operations from the bridge until the fire got so hot that he ordered the ship to be run from the coming tower, and the bridge contingent moved down to the pas sage surrounding the tower. This was a pbovidential move, for moment later a shell from one of the Spanish cruisers tore through the pilot house. It would have killed the wheelman and perhaps every body on the bridge had they remained there.
 Captain Philip, Executive Officer Harper, Navigation Officer Miner Cadet Reynolds, manipulating the range finder, and few messengers stood outside on the coming tower platform.
 Captain Philip directed every move throughout the heat of the fight. For half an hour the shells whistled all about the ship, but only one other struck it. This tore a hole through the ash hoist amid ships and exploded inside the smokestaek. No one was injured.
 The din of the guns was so terrific that orders had to be yelled close to the mes sengers' ears, and at times the smoke was so thick that absolutely nothing could be seen Once or twice the 12-inch guns in the turrets were swung across the shlp and fired. The concussion shook the great vessel as though she had been struck by great ball, and everything movable was splintered. The men near the guns were thrown fiat on their faces. One of them a seaman named Scarm. was tumbled down a hatch into the forward handling room. His leg was broken.
 Oregon and the Iowa to the Front
 Meanwhile the Oregon had come in on the run. She passed the Texas and chased after Commodore Schley, on the Brooklyn, to head off the foremost of the Spanish ships. The Iowa also turned her course westward and kept up @ hot fire on the running enemy.
 At 1O:1O o'clock the third of the Spanish ships the one that had been exchanging compliments with the Texas, was seen to be on fire, and a mighty cheyer went up
The age-herald., 1898-07-08

from our ships. The Spaniard headed for the shore, and the Texas turned her atten- ton to the one following. The Brooklyn and Oiegon, after few parting shots, also left her contemptuously and made all steam and shell after the foremost two of the Spanish ships, the Almirante Oquendo and the Cristobal Colon.
 Just then the two torpedo boat destroyers, Pluton and Furor, were discovered. They had come out after the cruisers without being seen, and were boldly heading west down the coast. "All small guns on the tdrpedo boats" was the order on the Tex as, and in an instant hail of shot was pouring all about them. A slxteen-pounder from the starboard battery of the Texas, under Ensign Gise, struck the foremost tor pedo boat fairly in the boiler.
 End of the Destroyers
 A Rending sound was heard above the roar of battle. A great spout of black smoke shot up from that destroyer, and she was out of commission. The Iowa, which was coming up fast, threw a few complimentary shots at the second torpedo boat destroyer and passed on. The little Gloucester formerly J. Pierpont Morgan's yacht Corsair, then sailed in and finished the second boat
 Gun for gun and shot for shot the run ming fight was kept up between the Span-
  sels. At 10:3O o'clock the Infanta Maria Teresa and Vizcaya were almost on the beach, and were evidently in distress. As the Texas was firing at them a white flag was run up on the one nearest her.
 Cease firing" called Caprafn Philip, and a moment later both the Spaniards were beached. Clouds of black smoke faros. from each and bright flashes of flame could be seen through the smoke. Boats were visible putting out from the cruisers to the shore. The Iowa waited to see that the two war vessels were really out of the fight, and it did not take her long to determine that they would never fight again. The Iowa herself had suffered some hard knocks.
 The Brooklyn Oregon and Texas pushed ahead after the Colon and Almirante Oquendo, which were now running the race of their lives along the coast. At 10:5O o'clock, when Admiral Cervera's flagship, the Almrante Oquendo, suddenly headed in shore, she had the Brooklyn and Oregon abeam and the Texas astern The Brooklyn and Oregon pushed on after the Cristobal Colon, which was mak- ing fine time and which looked as if she might escape, leaving the Texas to finish the Amirante Oquendo. This work did not take long. The Spanish ship was

and navy more closely together and refure the statements that have been published to the effect that serious friction exists be- tween the two arms of the service. On this point Secretary Long today expressed himself as follows:
 ''There is not the slightest foundation for the suggestion of anything but the best feeling between the army and navy. Each rejoices in the splendid heroism and success of the other. They are ready to cooperate for the honor of the flag at any time and anywhere As to the two departments, the war department. is always ready to help the navy department if it should need any thing, and the navy department has been very glad to aid the war department by the loan of it's best scouting vessels for transportation and in every other way"

WITH THE TROOPS
 AT CHICKAMAUGA

Chickamauga National Park, Georgia, Ju- ly 7.7Col. William Richards, adjutant-gen- eral on General Brool<es staff, stated to- day that the understanding was that as soon as transports could be secured the first army corps would move to the front.
 During the past three days the ordnance and quartermaster's departments have been very active, and numerous minor articles of equippage that were lacking, such as canteens, haversacks, cartridge belts, forks, knives, spoons and plates, have been sup plied.
 Today rifles were disbutsed as follows:
 First South Carolina, ,270; Eighth New York, 300 First Pennsylvania $50; Fourth Pennsylvania, 00; Fifth Pennsylvania, %; new battalion of the Sixteenth Pennsylva- mia, 400. The guns for the Pennsylvania regiments were all for recruits.

 Don't Cheer. The Poor Devils Are Dying"
 The crew of the Texas started to cheer. Don't cheer, because the poor devils are dying" called Captain. Philip, and the Texas left the Almrante Oquido to her fate to join in the chase of the Christobal Colon.
 That ship in desperation was ploughing the waters at a rate that caused the fast Brooklyn trouble. The Oregon made great speed for a battleship and the Texas made Sthe effort of her life. Never since her trial trip had she made such time.
 The Brooklyn might have proved a match to the Christobal Colon in speed, but she was not supposed to be her match in strength.
 Greatest Chase of Modern Times
 It would never do to allow even one of the Spanish ships to get away. Straight into the west the, strongest chases of modern times took place. The Brooklyn headed the pursuers. She stood well out from the shore in order to try to cut off the Cristobal Colon at a point jutting out into the sea far ahead. The Oregon kept @ middle course about mile from the cruiser. The desperate Don ran close along the shore, and now ana then ne threw a shell of defiance. The old Texas kept we'll up in the chase under forced draught for over two hours.
 The fleet Spaniard led the Americans a merry chase, but she had no chance. The Brooklyn gradually forged ahead, so that the escape of the Cristobal Colon was cut off at the point above mentioned. The oregon was abeam of the Colon then, and the gallant Don gave 1t up.

 At 1:15 o'clock he headed for the shore, and five minutes later down came the Spanish flag None of our ships was then within a mile of her, but her escape was cut off The Texas, Oregon and Brooklyn closed in on her and stopped their engines a few hundred yards away.
 Commodore Schley left the Brooklyn in small boat and went aboard the Cristo- bal Colon and received the surrender Meantime the New York, with Admiral Sampson on board, and the Vixen were coming up on the run. Commodore Schley signalled to Admiral Sampson:
 "We have won a great victory, details will be communicated
 It Was Schley's Victory The victory certainly was Commodore Schleys. Then for an hour after the sur render in that little cove under the high hills was a general Fourth of July celebra- ton, though little premature.
