adopt a single book published by the

CRISTOBAL COLON MAY BE SAVED

Copyright 1898. by The Associated Press.
OFF SANTIAGO DE CUBA, July 10,
Via KINGSTON, JAMAICA, July 11.-1l.5O
A. M.-The Board Of Survey appointed TO
examine the wrecks Of the Spanish ships
and to inquire into the nature of their in
jurles. reports that only one ship can pos
sibly be saved. She is the Infanta Maria
Teresa. the former flagship Of Admiral
Cervera.
ONLY SIX TINES.
The huh OF the Crlstobal Colon shows
she was only hit six times and then only
by shells Of S-meh, 5-inch and 6-tnch cali
bre This vorihes the story that the
commander Of the Cristobal Colon sur
rendered because he saw she could not
get away from the Brooklyn and Oregon
and to continue the hattie meant a sacri-
fee OF life. II was found that the brass
plugs Of the large guns and the bolts
and locks of the small arms had been
thrown overheard.
TIE VIz&AYA RIDDLED.
The NiZcaya showed that she had been
riddled by the Brooklyn. She had not
been struck by proieotiles larger than s.
inches. Her upper works were riddled by
one and six FOUNDER shells. Nearly all
OF these shells exploded inside the super
structures and must have driven the men
from the guns. This confirms the story
Of Captain Eulate that the Brooklyns
secondary battery fire was so terrible
that the men deserted their guns
Tho Survey Board arrived at the
wrecks OF the Almirante Oquendo and
Infanta Maria Teresa last night al dark
and tho work consequently was postpon-
cd.
SET FOR THE BROOKLYN
\ 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 10 be true.
The magazines OF an the ships exploded
and the effect was 10 blow IN the decks
and not completely pulverize the hull or
turn the keel up. as was in the case 81
tho battleship Maine. This Is looked
upon as being important.
