DETAILS OF THE SEA
BATTLE.
ASSOCIATED Press, in Times-Democrat.

[ ASSOCIATED Press, in TimeS-DemOcrat.
Admiral Cervera made as gallant
a rush for liberty and for the
preservation of his ships last Sun
day morning as has ever occurred
in the history of naval warfare.
In the face of overwhelming
odds, with nothing before him but
inevitable destruction or surrender
if he remained any longer in the
trap in which the American fleet
held him, he made a bold dash
from the harbor at the time the
Americans least expected him to
do SO, and fought every inch of
his way, even when his ships were
sinking. He tried to escape the
doom which was written on the
muzzle of every American gun
trained upon his vessels.
The Americans saw him the
moment he left the harbor, and
commenced their work Of destruc-
ton Immediately. For an hour or
two they followed the flying Span
iards to the westward along the
shore line. sending shot after shot
into their blazing hulls, tearing
great holes into their steel sides
and covering their decks with the
blood of the killed and wounded.
At no time did the Spaniards
show any indication that they in
tended to do otherwise than fight
to the last.
They showed no sign of surren-
der, even when their ships COM
menced to sink and the great
clouds of smoke pouring from their
sides showed they were on FIRE.
Instead, they turned their heads
toward the shore, less than q mile
away, and ruii them on the beach
and rocks where their destruction
was completed.
The officers and men on board
then escaped to the shore as well
as they could with the assistance
of boats sent from the American
men-of-war, and threw themselves
upon the mercy of their captors,
who not only extended to them the
gracious hand of American chival-
~, but sent them a gaurd TO pro-
tect them from the bands of Cuban
soldiers hiding in the brush on the
hillside eager to rush down and
take the unarmed, defeated, bu,
valorous foe.
One after the other of SPANS
ships became the victims of the aw.
full rain of shells which the Amer.
can battleships, cruisers and gun.
boats poured upon them, and two
hours after the first vessel went on,
of tie harbor three cruisers were
destroyed, smoke and flame pour.
ing from every part of them and
covering the entire coast line with

Heavy explosions of ammunition
occurred every few minutes, sending
curls of dense, white smoke = hun.
bred feet high in the air and caus
ing = shower of broken iron anG
steel to fall in the water on every
side.
The bluffs on the coast line echoed
with the roar Of every explosion,
and the Spanish ships sank deepe,
and deeper into the sand.
Admiral Cervera escaped to the
shore in . boat sent by the Glou,
cester 10 the assistance of the In.
fanta Maria Teresa, and n soon =.
