battle ship Maine in Havana Harbor nearly FIVE
months ago.
Lieutenant Commander Wainwright, the COM
mander Of the Gloucester. was executive officer
OF the Maine at the time Of the disaster. and,
although he remained in Havana Harbor two
months after the explosion. he lived on board
the dispatch boat Fern. and steadfasty refused
to set his foot within the city until tn use his
own words the time should come when he could
go ashore at the head Of landing party OF
American bluejackets.
To-day It was his ship that rank two Spanish
torpedo boat destroycrs and afterward received
the Spanish Admiral aboard as a prisoner OF
war.
From his position on the bridge OF the
Gloucester Lieutenant Commander Wainwright
watched the flames and smoke roaring through
the decks Of the three Spanish warships. To his
brother officers beside him he remarked:
The Maine is avenged"
Just then the Puton and the Terror sank.
The Goucesters boat picked up as many OF the
survivors as she could find on the shore.
The prisoners of war included the captains OF
both boats None offered any resistance. and

feared an attack from the Cubans.

where they remained until their captain. who
was held n prisoner on the Gloucester ordered
then, TO Join him on the latter vessel.
The most remarkable feature OF the combat
was the fact that. Notwithstanding the utter
destruction of the Spanish Get and the hard
fight these ships made. even af.cr they were

COMMANDMENT DELAYED.
Continued from nrst prgc.

Santiago has been an additional reason for de-
ferring the bombardment. 1t was made known
late to-day that one OF General Skaters dis
patches stated that these representatives had
Joined in a request to him to put off the she'll
Ing Of the city for another brief period until
their respective colonies could be removed. This
accounts for the departure Of the foreign war
ships from Santiago Harbor. as they are bear
ing away the foreign residents in the period be-
fore the bombardment begins. The activity OF
the consuls at santl ,go has led 20 no diplomatic
complication which has reached the State De-
partment thus far. and the authorities here feel
that nothing Of that nature will develop.
The State Department to-day took occasion to
dispel some Of the Spanish Illusions over the
escape OF Admiral Cervera's feet. 1t seems that
Madrid Is not alone In the belief that the fleet
made handsome sortle from Santiago and left
the American ships far in the rear.
CELEBRATING A MYTHICAL VICTORY.
To-day a cable dispatch came from United
States Minister LOOMS. at Caracas, saying the
Spanish naval Victory. The Minister was in
formed briefly that Cerveras fleet had been
DESTROYED. the Admiral made prisoner and that
General Shafter had demanded the surrender
Of the city.
The definite official report reaching here to-day
that the Spanish fleet had entered the suez
Canal made no change In the plans Of the Navy
Department as to sending Commodore Watson's
squadron to the coast OF Spain. Secretary Long
said Il would start at the earliest possible mo-
ment, but he did not care to give the day Of de-
parture.
sCHLEY GETTING THE PRAISE.
The humiliation Of the Spanish feet continues
to be an absorbing topic among naval officers.
and they are giving most generous praise to
Commodore schley for the notable manner in
command fell to his lot The Commodores
friends have long predicted that II he secured
an opportunity he would rerder good account
OF the lighting ability OF the American Navy
and they are glad this opportunity was afforded.
1t Is one more and perhaps the greatest achieve

Schleys name has been associated, others in
