The Almirante Oquendo is beached In
the breakers near the mouth Of San
tiago harbor, with about two-thirds
of her hulk visible. The Vizcaya,
Cervera's flagship, is farther down the
coast, with a third of her hull above
water. Forty-eight miles from Santi-
ago Is the Christobal Colon, with four
fathoms of water above her. The
torpedo boats, Furor and Pluton,
are near the Santiago harbor mouth
in comparatively easy access. The ves-
sells that were partially above water
have been cleared of all accessible
valuables by the ocean thieves. Some
years ago Hobson raised the Maria
Teresa, but it was lost in tow during
storm, and no further effort would be
wasted on her. 1t Is suspected that
in the Colon are chests Of gold and
other valuables, and while her salvage
would be the most difficult the mate
rial recovered would be the richest.
