SUMMARY OF THE TESTIMONY.

Lieutenant Commander Nicholson, OF
the Oregon. was called and told a very
interesting story of the battle OF July
Sd which he had observed as navlga-
tor of the Oregon. He was, he said,
ON the deck of his vessel, and added;
Occupying the position ! did during
the day of the engagement, | necessar-
lily saw considerable Of it, The Incl
dents of that day commenced about
$50, or five minutes before, when the
first call to quarters had been sounded.
Then the Spanish ships were seen COM
Ing ont of the harbor; were seen, In
fact, by practically the whole crew at
the same time. When the first ship
started to go around the cry went up:
There they go.' ! looked toward the
harbor and saw the first ship. Her
bow was making turn into the last
reach of the harbor on her way out.
She was followed in succession by the,
others. | went to my station, flrst on
the bridge, then down to the coming
tower. and saw that the proper connec-
lions were made. In the meantime the
signal had been sounded TO general
quarters. and by this time steam was
coming up. all the boilers and blowers
were going full tilt and few minutes
afterward Captain Clark came up. We
turned the ship, going slowly at first,
the speed. increasing all the time; turn
ed ship with starboard helm and started
toward the enemy. They came out at
full speed, apparently much faster than
we were at this time. BY the time We
were straightened out we'll to the west
ward they we're all ahead of us. The
Iowa started in, she being to the west
ward of us, and apparently got in
closer to the enemy than we did be-
cause we passed under her stern. A
few minutes after that, on our course
to the westward, we pessed under the
stern of the Texas, apparently still in
the water called Captain Clark's
attention to this. or course, firing
commenced on both sides at the time
the first ship cleared the mouth of the
harbor. We returned the fire at long
range, probably three and half or
four miles off at that point
when we crossed the Texas stern
we saw the Iowa coming ont on a
course nearly parallel TO a conversins
course with ours. | noticed her little
abaft our starboard beam. Captain
Clark at the same time noticed her
and called my attention TO her. AMI told
me to look out and avoid a collision.
No collision was very imminent, but
we did change our helm and passed Oh.
did not see any more of the Iowa.
After the action commenced We passed
the Texas and IaHa. The only ship
then ahead of US was the Brooklyn.
She was well off her accustomed posi-
ton. well off to the westward. All the
Spanish ships had gotten out by this
time and we were pursuing them. head
ing for the leading ships. We noticed
the Maria Teresa diop astern at less
speed than at frsi. saw flames ieapirg.
up and out from from her which con-
WINGED us she was on fire. few min
utes after that the Oquendo appeared
