Five minutes afterward the
whole town of San Francisco
learned the news. Before six in

catastrophe; and after midnight,
by the cable. the whole Of Europe
knew the result Of the great

produced on the entire world by
that unexpected denouement.
On receipt of the telegram. the
Naval Secretary telegraphed to
the Susquehanna to wait in the
bay Of San Francisco without ex-
tinguishing her fires. Day and
night she must be ready to put
to sea.
It was decided in the Gun Club
