THE GLOUCEsTER's CAREER,
Distinction i'm the Santiago Fight and
Invasion of Porto Rico

Invasion of Porto Rico
The Gloucester has had short but most
oriilant career in the naval service De-
signed as pleasure yacht she Was con-
verted into an auxiliary cruiser soon after
the outbreak of the Spanish war and was
attached to the naval fleet engaged in
blockading the ports of Cuba. She was one
OF the gallant feet that guarded the ell
trance of Santiago harbor and took a
prominent part in the great battle of .Juiv
3. 1898. which resulted in the complete de-
struction of Cervera's feet and the defeat
OF the Spanish cause. To the Gloucester
under the gallant, wise and able direction of
Lieut. Commander Wainwright, is due the
main credit for the humiliation of the
much-dreaded torpedo boat destroyers Ter
ror and Pluton at the very outset of the
battle, an achievement, considering all the
attending circumstances. not the least of
which was the supposed inferiority of the
quondam pleasure boat, that is without
parallel in the naval history of the world.
Entered the HnrbOr of Guanica.
Next to her grand achievement at San
tiago, the greatest performance of the
Gloucester was in entering the harbor. of
Guanica, Porto Rico, in the van of Gen.
Miles expedition. 1t was a daring I'M
dertaking, as it was supposed that the har-
Dor was We'll protected with torpedoes and
sunken mines. Since then the Gloucester's
career has been confined to purely u
tine naval service. She Is now at Annapolis
where she is used by the cadets of the
Naval Academy as practical means of in
struction in the art of naval warfare The
accompanying illustration, which was made
from photograph taken in New York har-
Dor, Is of more than passing interest, from
the fact that 1t shows her intrepid COM
mander on the bridge, a place where he re-
