of Santiago, followed by the four
cruisers, Cervcra's flagship in the
lead. The Gloucester, steam
yacht formerly belonging to J. Pier
pont Morgan, was lying near Aqua
dores, 3 miles to the east. She
made dash for the destrovers, and
opened upon them with her 6 pound
rapid fire guns, chasing them to a
point 6 miles west of Moro where
both destroyers were destroyed, and
those of the crew still alive escaped
to shore in open boats. The Brook

the other boats chased the larger

fore two o'clock in the afternoon.
A Spanish gunboat was sunk off
Cape Cruz nearly the same time by
the Americans, and also the same

the news that the Charleston and

word came that Spanish gunboat

ty at Helena is making rapid pro-

school highin standing among up-to-

to the curriculum which in previous
years they were not able to cover.

The squadron of Cervera, which
tried to sneak out of the harbor de
Santiago was the proudest aggrega-
ton of war ships owned by Spain.
Their heavy steel sides place them
in class to which the United States
has none similar, none equal. And
it is quite certain that had he faced
the American squadron in bold en-
counter he could have done consid-
erable damage to our ships. But he
ran like coward and allowed our
gunners the finest kind of play on
his steel monsters, for a run of over
two hours. If he had succeeded in
escaping the glory would have been
his; but he is now prisoner of war,
and America laughs at the incident.
If Spanish honor is not yet satisfied,
it certainly will not require much
more to pacify her claim. She has
lost % war ships by destruction and
one by surrender, while the United
States has lost none-since the fate

Last Saturdays war news was to

On Monday we learned of the
richest haul made in the whole war,
by which the Americans wholly de-

to run the gauntlet and escape from
its prison. 1t was a running fight,
the Sampson squadron pursuing the
enemy for nearly three hours before
the work was completed. AT the
