battle of Santiago he regarded that
the Brooklyn's turn decided the
events of the day. He had not men

battle as il was an incident i'm the
battle which he had no idea would
ever come into controversy. Cook
had given the order without orders
from him except Tnder his general
instructions to close in and keep
somewhere about one thousand yards
