He should have endeayored to capture or destroy the Spanish vessels at anchor near the entrance eff Santiago harbor on May 70 and 90 He did not do his utmost with the force under his com mand to capture or destroy the Colon and other essels of the enemy which he attacked on May 31 By commenting the engagement on July 3 with the port battery and turnins the Rrooklyn around with the port helm Commodore sehleF caused her to lose distance and position .With the Spanish Sessels-e especially with the Niseaya and Colon.
