II was 4.25 D. m. Saturday, April 30
when the American feet passed Subie
bay. which is on the China sea, and
around Mariveles peninsula from Ma
Mia and Manila bay. and steered di-
rectly for the entrance to the mouth
Of the latter
As II drew near the entrance the
feet slackened speed, for II was then
near shutdown. All the ships were
dark, the decks cleared for action and
the sharpest outlook kept in all direc-
lions. The entrance TO the harbor was
thought by the Spaniards to be well
defended and It would be 50 considered
against anything but a feet such as
came there from Hongkong. On the
ieft-hand side entering there are two
batteries, one on Point Mariveles and
a smaller one further up the bay. On
the right hand side there are also two
batteries, one at Limbones point and
another at Restingo. These last are
on the Caylte side OF the bay. In the
middle OF the entrance are three is
lands, the largest OF which Ii Carre-
quideo. which was to have been forth
fed. but the spaniards did not have
land armament to spare II was un-
derstood that the entrance TO the bay,
as we'll as the bay itself. was loaded
with electric mines and torpedoes, but
II this was the case. they did not sx-
plode. for the American feet sailed
over and through them unframed. As
the fleet approached the entrance In the
dark the progress became slower, and
one officer OF the Olympia suggested to
Commodore Dewey the danger of be-
ing blown up. To this Dewey is said
TO have replied grimly: "It's a case OF
Mobile Bay now" which was interpret
cd TO mean. In Farraguts words:
Oh the torpedoesl Go ahead"
All this time the vessels proceeded
almost noiselessly on their way. When
the fleet had rejoined. inside of the
bay, Commodore Dewey reformed his
line In the following order:
Shoshone journal. [volume] (Shoshone, Idaho) 1884-1931, 1898-05-13

in so hot corner that he had to go on
board the nearest boat, which proved to
be the Isls de Cuba, small and in
ferior cruiser. 1t is said that a ma
jority of the Reina Christmas crew
were killed or drowned, but some of
the men were picked up by the Spanish
fleet and the ships exact loss in men
cannot now be ascertained. The flag
ship burned fiercely during the rest of
the fight, but sank before any explosion
! could occur. She is total wreck. All
this had taken place within sixty min
utes. There was not gun on board
the American feet which had not been
used, and most of them had done exc
cution The Spanish cruiser Reina
Mercedes was engaged by the Balti-
more and Concord, the shells of which
did frightful damage to her, and she
was obliged to retire behind the Span
ish line. The Boston and Raleigh did
splendid work along with their sister
ships.
The battery which had been rugged
up on the sunken Castillo fired few
shots at the enemy, but was quickly
disabled by the American guns. The
Cavite battery kept up a steady can
nonading upon the American fleet, but
many OF its shots fell short and some
came nearer to the Spanish boats than
to the Americans. After the battle
had ragged for an hour the American
feet retired by twos to the Nashan and
1.I
mainder of the fleet keeping up the
fight. None of Commodore Dewey's
feet showed any apparent injury to the
Spanish fleet. They Unanswered with
as much ease as though they were
merely going through squadron evo-
luton In calm waters. Nearly all the
Spanish fleet showed bad injuries, and
the loss of life among their sailors was
so great that the commanders moved |
the ships with difficulty. The transfer
of Montejo's flag to the Isla de Cuba |
was not noticed for some time, in the |
confusion and wreck OF the Spanish |
feet, and it was nearly fifteen minutes
before he made his boats understand
where their admiral was and what he
wanted them to do. Then there was
cessation OF really hard fighting for
about twenty minutes, when the Amer
lean fleet reformed its line and began
once more. This time the Isla de Min
danao, q converted cruiser. and the
Don Antonio de Ulloa were so badly
disabled that they retired slowly and
look no further part in the fight.
Again the guns at Cayite roared out
, steady bass chorus to the water fight,
and the gunners appeared to have Sc
cured better range upon the American
feet, for Dewey ordered general
change of base and the fighting was

! forced in the direction of Manila. Mon
tejo had by this time recovered his
presence of mind and reassembled his
Z shattered line, presenting a bold but
battered front to the enemy. He en-
Geavorsd 10 put heart into his men,
but the fight had been taken out of the
Spaniaris and they seemed to feel that
there was not the slightest chance OF
their winning. Montejo's officers and
most Of his men behaved splendidly for
the first hour and stood by their guns
with desperate bravery, but it was clear
to the foreign warships in Manila har-
bor that they were outclassed as gun
pers as their commanders were as sea-
men. The last half hour of fighting
had no heart in it so far as the Span
iards were concerned, and the Luzon,
Yelasco and Cuba were the only ships
which really made any show Of stand
ing up TO the Americans. At ii O'CLOCK
the work Of the American fleet was
shown to be more effective than was at
first supposed, for in the bay toward
Manila three other sunken Spanish
ships were seen. The names could not
be ascertained The Spanish govern
ment officials claimed that these YES
sells were sunk by Admiral Montejo to
keep them from falling into the enc
my's hands, but the Americans deny
this and say that they were sunk by
shots from Dewey's fleet. The Cebu,
Spanish transport loaded with coal and
ammunition, was set on fire by Ameri-
can shells and sank off Cavite. The
Cavite batteries continued the fight for
some time after the fire Of the Spanish
ships slackened, but they, too, became
silent about $50. A Spanish lieuten-
ant, who was badly wounded on the
Reina Mercedes and was landed near
Cayite with a load of other victims,
many of them dead or dying, said:
THE greatest naval battle of the world

thinking it was one of the American
feet, but when the dull yellow smoke
! lifted and they saw their cruiser a total
wreck and the bay in its vicinity fall
Of dead and wounded Spanish officers
they shrieked with agony and Montejo
is said to have lost his head and to
have run up and down the deck al
ternately cursing the Yankees and the
Don Juan's captain for his reckless
ness.
The explosion unnerved the whole
Spanish feet, and it may be said to
have determined the whole battle, for
it proved the turning point. Montejo
had no time for vain regrets for his
own flagship was soon struck twice by
shells. The attack of the American
feet was recommended almost imme-
diately after the explosion, and some
Of the hardest knocks were directed at
the Reina Maria Christina. Her cap
tain, Cardozo, and eight gunners were
killed by shell, and almost in the
same instant full broadside from two
American ships struck the Spanish
boat, killing two officers and a large
number Of men. Just then the Maria
Christina was discovered to be on fire
and sinking. The crew broke from all
discipline and rushed to the sides,
jumping over, officers and men, pre-
ferring to trust to their powers as
swimmers, rather than suffer the fate
Of their companions of the Don Juan.
Several other shots struck her, but the
Americans, seeing that it would be
waste of powder, turned their attention
to the other boats.
The Maria Christina began to sink
rapidly and Admiral Montejo and a
few officers had barely time to untangle
a boat and pull off in it before his flag
ship, the finest Spanish boat in Asiatic
waters, sank in the bay. He tried to
reach the Reina Mercedes, but she was
