THE GENUINE BOTTLE \ 4 BEARS THE NAME, 4 i PERRY DAVIS & SON. \ Admiral Csrvcra's Fieet Completely Annihilated By the Combined Squadrons of Ad miral Sampson and Schley. The Spaniards Made a Gallant Dash for Liberty ?But Their Ships Were Pounded Into Helpless Hulks by the American Guns. The Spanish Admiral a Prisoner of War, Together With 1,000 or 1,500 of His Bravo Officers and Sailors. The American Ships Practically Untouched. The Enemy Put Up a Gallant and Heroic Fight, in the r?f Alivmut flurltiin Hpnfh Compiled from reports July 4, 4:45 a. m.?Admiral Cer vera's fleet, consisting of the armored cruisers Ciistohal Colon, Alini rante Oquendo, Infanta Maria Teresa and Yizcaya, and two torpedo boat destroyers, the Furor and the PInton, which had been held in the ! harbor of Santiago de Cuba for six weeks past by I ho combined tquadrou of Real Admiral Sampson and Commodore Schley, lies today at the bottom of the Caribbean Sea, oft* the southern coast of Cuba. The Spanish Admiral is a prisoner of war on the auxiliary gunboat Glouchester (foirac-rly J. Pierpont Morgan's yacht Corsair) and 1,000 to 1,500 other Spanish officers and sailors, all who escaped the frightful carnage caused by the shells from the American warship?, are also held as prisoners of war by the United States navy. The American victory is complete, and, according to the best information obtainable at this time, the American vessels were practically untouched, and only one man was killed, though the ships were sub jected to the heavy fire of the Spaniards all the time the battle lasted. The Spaniards when they found they would be permitted to live, adapted themselves comfortably to the situation, rolled their cigarettes and began playing cards among themselves. Admiral Cervera made as gallant a dasli for liberty and for the preservation of bis sbips this morning as has ever occurred in the history of naval warfare. In the face of overwhelming odds, with nothing before him but inevitable destruction or surrender if lie remained any longer iu the trap in which the American fleet held him, he made a bold dash from the harbor at the time tho Americans least expected him to do so, and fighting, every inch of his way, even when his ship was ablaze and sinking, he tried to escape the doom which was written on the muzzle of every American gun tiaiued unon his vessels. The Americans saw him the moment he left the harbor and commenced their work of destruction immediately. For and hour or two they followed the flying Spaniards to the westward along the shore line, sending shot after shot into their blazing hulls, tearing great holes in their steel sides and covering their decks with the blood of the killed and wounded. At no time did the Spaniards show any indication that they intended to do otherwise than fight to the last. They showed no signals to surrender even when their ships commenced to sink, aud the great clouds of smoke pouring from their sides showed they were on fire. But they turned their vessels toward the shore, less than a mile away and ran them on the beach and rocks, where their destruction was soon completed. The officers and men on board then escaped to the shore as well as they could, with the assistance of boats seut from the American men-of-war and threw themselves upon the mercy of their captors, who not only extended to them the gracious hand of American chivalry, "but sent them a guard to protect* them from the murderous bauds of Cuban soldiers biding in the bush on the hillside, eager to rush down and attack the unarmed, defeated but valorous foe. One after another the Spanish ships became the victims of the awful rain of shells which the American [ Ulil liC&LlIUI uidt'i o auu ^uu k/uuiij poured upon them, and two hours after the first of the licet had started out of Santiago harbor their cruisers and two torpedo boat destroyers j were lying on the shore, ten to ! fifteen miles west of Morro Castle, ! pounded to pieces, smoke and llaine ! pouring from every part of them and ; covering the entire coast line with a ! mist which could be seen for miles. : Heavy explosions of ammunition I occurred every few minutes, sending I cm Is of dense white smoke a hun| dred feet in the air and causing a j shower (f broken iron and steel to fall in the water ou every side. The bluffs on the coast line echoed aBanBaanHBanaMaBBi with the roar of every explosion and the Spanish vessels sank dc ep< r and deeper into the sand or else the rocks ground their hulls to pieces a9 they rolled or pitched forward or sideways, with every wave that washed upon them from the open sea. Admiral CVrvera escaped to the shore in a boat sent by the Gloucester to the assistance of the Infanta Maria Thersa, and as 9oon as he touched the beach he surrendered himself and his command to Lieut. Morton and asked to be taken on board the Gloucester, which was the only Ameiican vessel near him at the time, with several of his officers, including the captain of the flagship The Spanish Admiral, who was wounded in the arm, was taken to the Gloucester and was received at the gangway by her commander, Lieut. Commander Richard Wainwright, who grasped the hand of the gray beaided admiral and said to him: "I congratulate you, sir, upon having made as gallant a fight as was ever witnessed on the sea." Lieut. Commander Wainwright then placed his cabin at the dispo sal of the Spauish officers. At that time, the Spanish flagship and four other Spanish vessels had been aground and burning for two hours, and the only one of the escaping fleet which could not be seen at this point was the Cristobal Colon. But half a dozen curls of smoke far down on the western horizon showed the fate that was awaiting her. The Cristobal Colon was the fastest of the Spanish ships, ami she 9oon obtained a lead over the others after leaving the harbor and escaped the effect of the shots which destroyed the other vessels. She steamed away at great speed, with the | Oregon, Ne-.v York, Brooklyn and [ several other ships in pursuit, all of them firing at her constantly and receiving fire themselves from her after guns. There was no possibility whatever for her escape, and while her fate is not definitely known at this hour, it can be readily imagined, from the words of Captain Evans, of the Iowa, who returned from the westward with 340 prisoners from the Yizcaya just as the Associated Press dispatch boat was leaving the Spanish flagship. In answer to an inquiry, he shouted through the megaphone: "I left the Cristobal Colon far to tbo westward an hour ago, and the Oregon was giving her hell. She has undoubtedly gone down with the others, and we will have a Fourth of July celebration in Santiago tomorrow.'' Captain Evans, who had been in the thick of the engagement up to the time he took the Yizcaya's officers and crew from the shore, sai l that to the best of his knowledge not one American ship had been struck. The torpedo boat Ericson, which also returned from the westward at about the same time, made a similar report, saying it was believed no man was injured on board the American ships, though another report had it that one man was killed on board the Brooklyn, which could not be verified as the dispatch was sent. There was no means of telling now what the Spanish loss was, but it was believed to have been very heavy, as the prisoners in custody report their decks strewn with dead and wounded in great numbers; and beside, there is a statement that many bodies could be seen fastened to pieces of wreckage floating in the sea after the fight was over. A large IIU HI UCI VII LiLi\J jl'c 4 U ion n wuuuv.u were removed to the American ships. There can be no doubt that Admiral Cerverfc's plan to escape from Santiago harbor was entirely unexpected by Admiral Sampson and the best evidence of this is the fact that when the Spanish vessels were seen coming out of the harbor the fi igship New York was seven miles away, steaming to the eastward toward Jaragua, the military base, nine miles east of Morro. The New York was out of the fight altogether at every stage, but she immediately put about and followed the others. THE SPANISH NAVAL LOSSES. To the Secretary of the Navy, Washington, July 3, 1808 At 9:30 a. m. to Jay the Spanish squadron, seven in all, including one gunboat, came out of Santiago in column and was totally destroyed within an hour, excepting the Cristobal Cjlon, which was chased fortyfive miles westward bv the commander-in-chief, the Brooklyn, the Oregon and the Texas, surrendering to the Brooklyn, but was beached to prevent sinking. None of our officers or men were injured, except on board the Brooklyn. Chief Yeoman Ellis was killed anl one man wounded. Admiral Cervera, ail the commanding officers, excepting of the Oquendo, about seventy other officers and 1,(500 men are prisoners. About .'150 were killed or drowned and 100 wounded, the latter being cared for on the Solace and the Olivette. IInve just arrived off Santiago in | the Marbleliead to take charge while i the commander in chief is looking j out for the Cristobal Colon. (Signed) Watson.
