Report Is the Navy Department Of
/. His Victory.


: Lieut.. ohm M. Elliott, the intelligence
officer of the Baltimore, has forwarded
to the navy department, under Gate OF
January 1, 1899, q report on the effects
Of the gun fire Of Dewey S fleet upon the
Spanish war vessels in the battlesso.
Manila. The report is based upon {
personal examination of all the vessels.
personal conversations with sofficer:
aboard and extracts from Admiral Mon
tejo's official report. It describes in
detail the effect Of every shot from the
American fleet and proves that Monte
JOS vessels were riddled by perfect
storm of shot and shell from the Amer
lean guns. There was much large,
percentage of hits at Manila than a.
Santiago. This is accounted for by the
fact that Dewey's5s feet made a DELHI
crate attack, with most OF the enemy's
ships at rest, while the appearance of
Cervera's fleet at Santiago was unex.
pected and it was a running fight. "
Lieut.. Elliott makes the following
summary of the number and size of the
shots which struck each of the Spanish
vessels: Cristina, five s-inch, five 5-inch
and 10 other large shells; seven 6-pound"
ers and nine other projectiles; Castillo,
two 6-inch, IL 5-inch, four other large
shells, three 6-pounders and 16 other
small shells. Survivors also tell of three
S-inch shells which burst on the orlop
deck forward, amidships and aft, caus-
ing fires that could not be controlled.
Don Antonio de Ulloa, four s-inch,
large shells, ten 6-pounders and one
small shell; Don Juan de Austria, two
6-inch or s-inch, four 5-inch, five e.
Founders and two other sm;.ll shells;
Isla de Luzon, three hits before she re-
tired behind the arsenal and was sunk
by her own crew; Isla de Cuba, to which
Montejo transferred his flag after the
Cristina was abandoned, four 6-pound-
ers and one Of unknown caliber. She,
too, was sunk by the Spaniards. Mar
quis del Duero, one 8-inch, one 6-inch
and three 6-pounders. The Nelasco
took no part in the action, but was hit
by a stray shell and was sunk by the
Spaniards. The General Lazo took no
part in the engagement and was ex-
ploded by the Spaniards. The Argos
was also out of the fight. but was
struck by large shell and was scut-
tied by the Spaniards. The total num-
Der of hits observable was al, but there
were doubtless many others, especial
ly of small caliber, through the rigging
and burned superstructure of the ships.
After painstaking inquiry Lieut.. FL
lott makes the following report of cas-
ualties.

The following points in connection
with the examination of Spanish ships
is emphasized by Lieut.. Elliott:
l. The sides of iron and steel built
cruisers do not arrestprojectiles enough
to explode them. -:
2. The incendiary effect of bursting
eight-iinch shells is great and far great.
er than would seem proportionate tc
that of lower caibers.
3. At ranges of over 1850 yards the
gun shields of cruisers are in no sense
a protection, but insure the annihila.
ton of the guns crew and the disabling
OF the gun if struck by large projec.

4. Warships of the present day will

confagration and the destruction OF
their personnel before they are sunk by
