AS the Teresa opened fire she received
the return fire of all the ships of the
American fleet. Steering to starboard, she
made a futile effort to escape TO the west.
Closely following in her tracks came the
Oquendo, the Vizcaya and the Cristobal
Colon, all superior in armament to the
Brooklyn and but little inferior to the
bulldogs of the American navy. The
Spaniards made a gallant and desperate
fight, but the constant rattle OF, the rapid
fire guns in main and secondary battery
aboard the enemy, combined with an ac-
curacy at long and short range little short
Of marvellous, made the Castillian gun
ners flee from their guns.
The Iowa and the Indiana being short
on steam were operating at long range
until we'll after the action commenced.
But they closed in and by the lapse of half
an hour we're dealing deadly blows at all
but the swift Colon, which seemed in a fair
way to glide out TO sea to the west and
make good her escape. The Oregon, with a
burst of speed which has caused naval
authorities and writer's to gasp and con-
tinue gasplng, set sail for the flying flag
ship, and before the Colon gave up the
light was well up with the chase. In to
the shore turned the flagship Of the enemy,
but as she turned Captain Clark's gallant
vessel flew by, raking her as she faltered.
Then she flew the white flag and dashed
a wreck on the beach.

The chief incidents Of the battle and the
principal actors in the historic scene form
a panorama a shade less thrilling ten years
after as when Admiral Cervera bravely
led his fleet to its doom. 1t was $3.50 a. m,
Sunday morning. Almost simultaneously
from the signal bridges of half the vessels
of the American fleet came word that the
Spanish fleet was coming out. Quickly
came the order from the Brooklyn,
'Chase and engage" but by the time the
bunting Tapped from the ropes the entire
fleet had broken ground and was following
out the general order to fight on sight.
As they swung TO port to meet the enemy
the forward turrets of the Teresa blazed
with a noisy defiance and the shot were
turned loose among the vessels bearing
down swiftly upon them.
Then the most remarkable naval battle
OF all time was under way. The big Brook
Ign. the largest ship in the fleet, swooped
down under half steam, belching flame and
smoke from all it's port battery. Then,
with a mighty sweep Of it's bows, it sheered
up to starboard and, swinging around in
a circle, passed close by the Texas, re-
opening with its starboard battery. Swiftly
it flew, gaining speed and power with each
revolution OF it's screws. Classed as in
ferior to any one of the four gigantic
cruisers opposed to It, It successfully en-
gagged them all.
The Texas, the Oregon, the Indiana, all
swooped down, turning to meet the west
ward course of Cervera's ship. Their
heavy guns threw tons of hard metal
against the sides of the doomed ships, but
only one had the steam and speed to fol-
low the escaping leaders. With an ex-
p]erience gained in a race of 1900 miles,
the stokers and engineers of the mighty
Oregon had learned 3 lesson which stood
them in good stead. With a speed greater
even than that of the Brooklyn, this
leviathan passed to starboard of the Iowa
and Texas and hung on the trail of the
speedy Brooklyn, gaining rapidly on the
flagship. hurting heavy shot and shell
upon the enemy.

From out the entrance Of the harbor, last
of all, lying flat in the water with a limited
exposure to hostile fire, came the most
flag of CASTLE that morning. With double
the speed OF the Americans, with deadly
torpedoes aboard and with instructions
to send in their deadly missiles on
any ship daring enough to await their at
tack, slipped out the Juror and Pluton.
During all the long watch off that harbor
these two had caused the blockaders the
greatest anxiety. Yet the result tends to
to show how useless In hot battle they and
their class can be.
Opposing two vessels regarded as the
by this time was but one daring Yankee
seaman with a crew of daring Yankees
aboard a fragile yacht, Gloucester, built
for pleasure and not stern war. 1t was
a contest none need have felt shame in
avoiding, but Captain Wainwright had
seen the Maine sink below the waters Of
Havana harbor, had seen hts men in
mangled heaps crushed out of life, and he
knew no hesitation. Like a greyhound his
little vessel shot forward. Down under
the fire of the battleships which had turned
their fire upon them, the yacht bore in be-
tween the deadly torpedo boats. Often in
that brilliant action they tried to torpedo
the Gloucester, but the skill Of the COM
mander and the skill Of the men behind
the guns smothered both vessels with a
damning fire. In less than an hour both
were destroyed.
