"FIGHTING BoBn EVANS

Battleship Iowa.

Captain Roberley D. Evans, command
ing the Iowa, gives the following ac-
count of his ships action during the en-
gagement:
go de Cuba. July T. 1858. Sir: l have
the honor to make the following report of
the engagement with the Spanish squad
ron off Santiago de Cuba on the Sd of
July:
l. On the morning of the third. while
the crew was at quarters for Sunday in
soection. the leading vessel of the Span
ish squadron was sighted at 9:3l, coming
out of the harbor of Santiago de Cuba.
Signal enemy ships coming out" was
Immediately hoisted and a gun fired to
attract attention The call to general
quarters was sounded immediately the
battery made ready for firing and the
engines run full speed ahead.
2 The position of this vessel at the
time of sighting the squadron was the
usual blockading station off the entrance
of the harbor; MORO castle bearing about
north and distant about three to four
miles. Steam at this time in the boilers
was sufficient for a speed of five knots.
3. After sighting the leading vessel. the
Infanta Maria Teresa (Admiral Cervera' s
flagship, it was observed that she was
followed in succession b. the remaining
three vessels of the Spanish squadron, the
Vizcaya, Crstobal Colon and Almirante
Oquendo. The Spanish ships moved at u
speed OF ABOUT elght TO ten Knots, which
was steadily increased as they cleared the
harbor entrance and stood to the west
ward. They maintained a distance of
about 500 yards between vessels. The
squadron moved with precision and sta
lions were well kept.
Immediately upon sighting the lead
Ing vessel officers were spread and the
Iowa headed toward the leading Spanish
ship. About $40 the first shot was fired
from this ship. at distance of about COCO
yards. The course of this vessel was so
laid that the range speedily diminished. A
number of shots We're fired at ranges
varying between 6 900 and 1900 yards. The
range was rapidly reduced to $500 yards
and subsequently to 1900 and to 100
yards.
3. When it was certain that the Maria
Teresa would pass ahead of US the helm
was put to the starboard and the star
board broadside delivered at a range of
$500 yards The helm was then put to
port and the ship headed across the bow
of the second ship and as she drew
ahead. the helm was again put to star
board. and she received in turn the full
weight of our starboard broadside at a
range of about IS00 yards. The Iowa was
again headed off with port helm for the
third time, and as she approached. the
helm was put to the starboard untilfour

sCHLEY'S REPORT.
GA Victory That Seems Enough For
All of U.s."

The following is Commodore schley's
report:
North Atlantic Fleet, Second Squad
ron. United States Flagship Brooklyn,
Guantanamo Bay, July 6, 1898.
Sir. I have the honor to make the
following report OF that part of the
squadron under your command which
came under my observation during the
engagement with the Spanish fleet on
July 3, 1898:
2. At 9:35 a. m. Admiral Cervera, with
the Infanta Maria Teresa, Vizcaya,
Oquendo, Cristobal Colon and two
torpedo boat destroyers, came out of
the harbor Of Santiago de Cuba, in col
umn, at distance, and attempted to es-
cape to the westward Signal was
made from the Iowa that the enemy
was coming out, but his movements
had been discovered from this ship at
the same moment. This vessel was the
farthest west, except the Vixen, in the
blockading line; signal was made 10
the western division, as prescribed in
your general orders, and there was i'm
mediate and rapid movement inward
by your squadron and a general en-
gagement at ranges beginning at LOO
yards and varying to 5000 until the
Vizcaya was destroyed, about 1880 a.
m. The concentration of the fire of the
squadron on the ships coming out was
most furious and terrific, and great
damage was done them.
3. About 20 or % minutes after the
engagement began two vessels,
thought to be theTerror and Oquendo,
and since verified as such, took fire
from the effective shell fire of the

Who far beyond our tree-toDS
Dwells in the wide blue sky
She, when the shadows frOlfc
And children are in bed,
With slow and silent footsteps
Come from her house o'erhead-

For that fair flock she watches
In all the stars above.

But hold each other dear,
Till fondling one another
At dawn they disappear.

BREAD THE WORLD OVER
Materials From Which the Staff of
Life Is Sometimes Made.

Sanitary Record: 1t is a curious and
interesting study to compare the various
materials which serve the different ma
tions of the world as the basis of their
bread In this country, where good bread
made from spring and fall wheat -four
is within the reach of all, rarely a thought
is given 10 the fact that, after all, the in
habitantS of only a small portion of the
earth'S surface enjoy such a food. In the
remoter parts OF Sweden the poor people
make and bake their rye bread twice a
year, and store the loaves away, so that
eventually they are as hard as bricks.
Further north still bread is made from
barley and oats. In Lapland, oats, with
the inner bark of the pine, are used. The

The Icelander scrapes the Iceland

fine flour, which serves both for bread
and Duddings- In some parts of Siberia.
China and other eastern countries, a fair

cooked, ground into meal and used for
making bread. Durra, a variety of the

India, Egypt. Arabia and Asia Minor for
making bread Rice bread is the staple
food for the Chinese, Japanese and a
large portion of the inhabitants of India.
In Persia the bread is made from rice
flour and milk; ii is called ''LawaSh." The
Persian oven is built in the ground about
the size of q barrel. The sides are smooth
mason work. The fire is built at the bot

This is mixed with milk if obtainable. if
not, water is used. The dough is formed
into little round loaves. and baked in hot
ashes or dried in the sun.

AN EFFECTIVE BLOCKADE.

IL 1 regard this complete and inn
portant victory over the Spanish forces
as the successful finish of several
weeks of arduous and close blockade,
so stringent and effective during the
night that the enemy was deferred from
making the attempt to escape at night
and deliberately elected to make the
attempt in daylight. That such was
the case l was informed by the COM
manding officer of the Cristobal Colon.
u. 1t seems proper to briefly describe
