 NEw YORK, July GA cable to the Sun from of Santiago, July 1, says the ease with which the Americans won the fight with Cervera was not due to the strength of numbers. They fought the enemy ship for ship. Cervera had shrewdly waited until the blockade was weakest. He had seen the fast cruiser New Orleans leave the lookout reported that the New York was down the coast, and that one of the battle ships had gone to Guantanamo for coal. "we thought" Capt. Eulate of the Vizcaya said today, "that it was the Oregon which had left for coal. We knew we could outrun the Massa- chusetts or the Indiana, or Iowa. or Texas, andsbelieved if we could lead the Brooklyn long chase, we could close in and sink her. She was the only ship on the station on the Ameri- can side which we believed could equal us in speed.
 cervere reasoned shrewdly, but he did not know the temper of the Ameri- can ships crews, and the Oregon, which he supposed he was to evade, was on hand and ran him down in a raile chase, heavy battleship though she be. All of the American fleet. yachts and torpedo catchers, were away, except tue Gloucester. Only the Oregon, Iowa. Brooklyn and Texas were near enough to the entrance of the harbor to engage the spanish ships, If they made dash to westward. This explains why oervera chose to make the desperate attempt at 80 in the morning rather than under the cove of night.
