The Yankees In Battle.

For courage and dash there is no
parallel iii history to his action Of the
admiral. He came, as he knew.
to absolute destruction. There was one
single hope. That was that the Span
ish ship Cristobal Colon would steam
faster than the American ship Brook
lyn. The spectacle of two torpedo

deliberately steaming out in broad day

way. 1t was Spanish, and it was ord
cred by the Spanish General Blanco.

movement.
was the cool, deliberate Yankee work.
The American squadron was without
sentiment apparently. The ships went
at their Spanish opponents and liter
ally tore them TO pieces. Admiral Ger
vera was taken aboard the Iowa from
the Gloucester, which had rescued him,
and he was received viii a full admir-
ais guard. The crew of the Iowa
crowded aft over the turrets. half ed
and black with powder. as Cervera
stepped over the side b~areheaded. The
crew cheered vociferously. The admir-
al submitted to the fortunes of war
with a grace that proclaimed him a
thoroughbred.
The officers Of the Spanish ship Viz
caya said they simply could not hold
their crews at the guns on account of
the rapid fire poured upon them. The
decks were flooded with water from
the fire hose, n the blood from the
wounded made this n dark red. Frag-
ments Of bodies floated in this along
the gun deck. Every instant the crack
of exploding shells told of new havoc.
The torpedo boat Ericsson was sent by
the flagship to the help Of the Iowa in
the rescue of the Viscaya's crew. Her
men saw a terrible sight. The flames,
leaping out from the huge shot holes IN
the Viscaya's sides, licked up the decks,
sizzling the flesh of the wounded who
were Tying there shrieking for help.
Between the frequent explosions there
came awful cries n groans from the

From two six-pounders 400 shells

terry under a 12-inch was blinded
by smoke and saltpetre from the tur-

sticking a wet handkerchief over his

stuck to his gun.
Finally, as the siX-pounders were so
