this morning" Captain Taylor then
moved the great battleship where he
could watch the harbor's mouth for
any new enemy and turned his atten-
ton to rescuing the helpless Spaniards.
During the night 215 prisoners were on
board, among them a lieutenant Of the
destroyer Pluton. The lieutenant told
Captain Taylor that he had not slept
for a month. Said he in explanation,
Every night for the last 80 days l
have been trying to come out with the
Pluton. but you kept such a good
watch on the Indiana that never

the first gun Of the morning broke up

Iowa, which lay abreast Of the EN-
trance, the startling signal was read,
"Enemy's skips coming out"
Although the idea that Cervera
would come out had been abandoned,
the possibility Of his doing SO had
been talked over and planned for until
every man in the American feet was
ready to meet the emergency should it
come. Captain Taylor gave a series Of
orders, almost in a breath, which turn
ed the Indiana from a peaceful ship
Of parade into q fighting terror. "Clear
ship for action" said he, and then
quickly, "Bugles, call to general quar-

times, and the Colon also felt the

About the same time the torpedo boat

13 inch shell from the Hoosier battle
ship which set her in flames and en-
ploded her boiler.

Suddenly the Teresa turned to the

her matches. When she struck her col

swift collapse Of the Oquendo. This
ship headed for shore, also in flames,
and after hauling down her colors
went upon the beach near her consort.
Meantime the Pluton and Furor had
gone down, and the Indiana turned
her full attention upon the Vizcaya,
the best fighter Of the Spanish feet.
Firing became deliberate, although the
range was long, for the vizcaya had
good speed. Captain Taylor used his
forward IL and 8 inch guns upon her
until she turned as If to avoid battle.
The case of the Vizcaya did not seem
hopeless, although she was on fire. To
watchers on the Indiana she seemed
to be aiming to escape by turning in
shore and doubling back to the harbor.
To foil this movement Captain Taylor

But the prospect of rest was cut short
when the scouts brought word that
there was a Spanish ship coming up

Captain Taylor says that he thinks
