Captain jr. Cook, of tin' Brooklyn, went on hoard of her, and the eommujider of the Spanish armored cruiser cuino up an hour after the Brooklyn and the Oregon had complet- j e?i the eapture of the Cristobal Colon. The latter was not seriously damaged, though she was struck several times by shots from the Brooklyn and Oregon. During the chase a clever manoeuvre of Commodore Schley, in heading doe wowt to Ciu?oy, while the Cristobal Colon had s taken a more southerly direction > . with a much greater distance to . cover, rendered the Spaniard's es- !. cape impossible. There seems to t he no doubt tliut the Cristobal Colon, and perhaps the other three Spanish armored cruisers, I S would have escaped had it not been for the prompt action of1 Coismodore Schley.

The Oregon was the first to join the Brooklyn, and afterward the Iowa, Indiana, Texas and Vixen close I around the Span- . jards, all pouring in a deadly lire, but from the heirinning to the M end of the tight the Brooklyn, Oregon and (iloncester took the) most important part in the do- j .struetion of the enemy. * [ 1 One man, Oeorge Henry Kllis, j was killed on board tho Brooklyn. } His head was blown ofT by u shell ' i I One otlier mnn, .1.

Thus augmented there seems to bo no doubt that the forces un der General Shnfter w ill l?c able to storm and tuko tlio city with" j out delay. These are the views of the members of tho cabinet, ' who talk freely today on the sub- j ject. Nevertheless tho orders under which both the army and the navy are now operating give the commanders wide discretion and it is not doubted that shojld changed circumstances seem to warrant it an aggrossivo movement will be )>egnn. That movement may >?c made early tomorrow. In fact, officials say it may have l?crn made tonight. 0 % I i) V.
