a diapositioi In omelet quarters to knoir
what was In sight before catering on a
vague dIplomatIc negotiation.
A prominent adminIstration official saId
that in Lila opinion the situation was not
materially changed by the SpanIsh proirn-
eltion and that the war would be pressed
with unabated vigor until something more
tangible In the way of peace terms was at
band.
In case the peace negotIations yere opened
the means by whIch they will be carrIed on
are not ( latorminod nor have they been
officially cons1dered. It is understood that
one means likely to be. proposed Is to an-
tliorize direct itogotlatlons between Spain
I and this country. Spain being represented
by Senor Leon CastIllo , the Spanish ambassador -
sador at Paris. and this country by General
Iiorace Porter , our ambassador at Paris.
Senor Castillo Is one of the foremost
diplomats of Europe and since the war
begun his chief mission has been to go from
capital to capital and endeavor to awaken
foreign interventhon in behalf of Spain.
Failing In this hq has turned his attention
to the peace movement as the last chance
for saving his country. Castlhlo Is a tin-
guist , speaking English , so that the no-
gotiatlona could proceed wIth facility.
While not a veteran in liplomacy , General -
oral Porter is regarded as able and tactful
and moreover he would be guided by very
explicit Instructions from Washington. This
plan is quIto tentatIve , however , and It Is
rather doubtful , whether the United States
government would consent to have such
Important negotiations removed so tar from
Wasblzigton and conducted In' a European
capital , where the atmosphere might not
be conducive to forwarding the desires of
this country ,
Spains peace proposal excited the deepest
interest throughout Vashiugton and for the
time being war news gave way to nn anl-
mated discussIon of the prospects of peace.
This was trucin diplomatic circles. The
move or tao Frencu amuassacor took the ,
other membcr of the corps completely by
surprIse , as they had well known among
themselves that all peace talk up to this
time had boon fanciful and they had no
reason to think the movement should take ,
form co quickly. There were many foreign
InquIrIes at the State department as to
the moaning of tIm French ambassador's
calls and full reports were cabled the for-

the following report Upon the battle with
and the destruction of the Spanish squadron -

SantIago do Cuba on Sunday , July .
2. The enemy's vessels came out of the

head of the column appearing around Cayo
Smith at 0:81 : antI emerging from the chan- i
nd five or six minutes later.
Position of Americait Pleet.
3. The positions of the vessels of nil
command off Santiago at that moment w'ra
as foliowa : The flagshIp , New York , was
four miles east of the biockaditig station
and about aevun miles from the harbor en-
trance. It had started for Siboncy , where
I Intended to landg accompanied by several
of my staff , and go to Urn front to con-
suit with General Shatter. A discussion of
the situation and a definite understanditnt
between us of tho' operations proposed l'ad
been rendered necessary by the uneKpoct-
edly strong resistance of the Spanish gar-
rjson at Santiago. I had sent. my chief of
staff on shore the day before to arrange
an intcryiew with General Shatter , who , bas
been sutfering from bent prostration. I
made arrangements to go to his headquar-
ters. and my flagship was in the Osition
mentioned above hen the SpanIsh squadron -
ron appeared in the channel. The remaining -
ing vessels vere Ia or near their usual
blockading positions ; distributed In a semicircle -
circle about the harbor entrance , counting -
ing from the eastward to the stward In
the following order : The Indiana about a
mile and a half from shore , the Otegon-
the New York's place between these two-
the Iowa , Texas and Brooklyn , the latter
two miles from the shore west of San-
Lingo. The distance of the vessels train Lhe
harbor entrance was from two and ono-
half to four miles-the latter being the
limit of day' blockading distance. ThU
length of the nrc formed by the ships was
about eightmiles. . The Masenehusette had
left at. 4 a. in. fo Guantanamo for coal.
Its station was between the Iowa and
Texas. The auxiliaries Gloucester and
Vixen lay close to the land and nearer the
harbor entrance than the large vessels , the
Gloucester to the eastward and the Vixen
to the westward. The torpedo boat Erics-
eon was in company with the 1lagshIpand ;
remained with It during the chase until or-
Ocred to discontinue. when It rendered very
efficient corvico in rescuing prisoners from
the burning Vlzcaya. I c'n lose a iliagram
showtag approximately the positions of the
vessels as descrIbed above.
' for Libert'
Cerverzi's Duels ,
( . The Spanish vessels came rapidly out
of the harbor at a 'speed estimated at from
eight to ted knots and in the following
order : Infanta Maria Teresa ( flagship ) , Viz-
cnya , Cristobal Colon and the Mmirnnte
Oquendo. The distance between these ships
was about 800 yards , which means that
from the time the first one became visible
In the upper reach of the channel until the
lust one was out of the harbor an interval
of only twelve minutes elapsed. Following
the Oquendo , at a distance of about 1,200
yards , came the "torpedo boat 'destroyer ,
PinIon and after it. the Furor. 'i'hd armoted'
cruisers as rapidly as they could brIngtbntr
guns to hearopcned a vigorous fire upon
the bloclcadipgvcsselB and emerged from the
channel shrouded in the smoke from their
guns.
5. The men of our ships In front of the
port were at the "Sunday quarters for in-
spection. " The signal was made simul-
taneously' from severaL vessels ; "Enemy'a
ships escaping , " and "general quarters"
was sounded , The men cheered as they
sprang to their guns and tire was opened
probably within eight minutes by the yes-
solo whose guns commanded the entrance ,
The New York turned about and steamed
for the escaping fleet , flying the signal ,
"Closo in toward harbor entrance and at-
tacit vesselsb and gradually increasing
specd , until toward the end of the chase
it was making sixteen and one-halt knots
and was rapidly closing in on the Crlstobal
Colon , The New York was not at any time
within the range of. the heavy Spanish ships
and its only rart in the firing was to receive -
coivo the undivided fire from the forts In
passing the harbor entrance and to fire a
few shots at one of the destroyers , thought
at the moment to be attempting to escape
from the Gloucester.
Oregon'i Amazing Speed ,
t. The Spanish vessels upon clearing 'the
harbor turned to the westward in column ,
Increasing their ape d to the full power'of
their engines. The heavy blockading yes
eels , which 1ail closed in toward the Morro
. at thu lustant of the enemy's ap ani
anu at ineir nest spceu cieuverc a rapid
fire , well sustained and destructive ; whi h ,
speedily overbelmed and silenced the
Spanish fire. The initial speed of the 'Spa-
lards cnrrted them rapidly past the 'block-
ading vessels and the battle developed into
a chase , in which the Brooklyn and Texsg
had at the start the advantage of position , ,
The l3rooklyh maintained this load. The
Oregon , steaming with amazing speed from.
the commencement of the action , took first
place. The Iowa and thu Indiana having
done good work and not having the speed
of the other vessels were dirnted by ne in
succession at about the time the Vizcaya
was beached to drop out of tl1o chase and ,
resume blockading stations , These vssei
rescued many prisoners. 'rue Vixen , flnding
that the rush of the Spanish ships would
itlt it between two tires , ran , outside of our
own column and remained there during the
battle and chau .
7 , Thu skillful handling anti gallant fighting -
ing of the Gloucester excited the admiration
of everyone who witnessed it and merits
the commendation of the Navy departwqt ,
It Is a fast and entirely unprotected auxiliary -
iliary vessel--the yacht Corsair-and has a
good battery of light rapid lire guns. It was
lying about two miles from the harbor'
entrance to the southward and cnstward
and immediately steamed in , openig fire
upon the large ships. Anticipating 'the , a -
penranco of the I'luton and Furor , the
Gloucester was slowed , thereby gainiug more
rapidly a high pressure of steam , and when
the destroyers caine out it steamed fOr them
at full speed and was able to close in' at
short range , where its lire was accurate ,

Iuring this fight the Gloucester was uuier
the fire of the Socapa battery , Within tventy
minutes from the time lucy auierged from
Santiago harbor , the cart'ora of tIio Furor
and the Piuton were ended and two-thirds
of their People killed. The Furor was
beached and sunk In the Burl ; tue Pluton
sank in deep water a few minutes later.
The : destroyers probably suffered much In-
iury from the fire of the secondary batttfr-
ire of the battisehips Iowa , Indiana and the
Texas , yet I think a very considerable fec-
tor in their speedy destruction was the fire
at cloo range of the Gloucester's battery.
Aft-er rescuing the survivors of the deetroy- '
era the Gloucester did excellent service in
landing aud securing the crew of the In
tanta Maria Teresa.

Spaniards-all steering in the same direc-
lion and tq formation , Temoyed all tactical
doubts or difitcuhtica and made piin thb'

One of our first ebote unit that It was Un-

tunes of smoke rising from ( heir , lOwer

teen miles front Santiago , burning fiercely
and with its reecryotre of ammunItion on

about ten miles West of Santiago the Indiana -
diana bad been signaled to go back to the

was signaled to "reinime blockading Sta-

tuid the filet , took off the crew bt the Viz-
cayn , while the harvard and the Gloucester -
ter rescued tlios of the Infanta Maria
Teresa and the Almiranto Oqftenito.
This rescue of prisoners , including the
wounded from the burning Spanish vessels ,
was the occasion of OtflO of the abet dar-
log and gallant conduct of the day. Thg
ships w ro horning f6re and aft , their guns
and 'reservo ammunition were exploding and
it was not known at what moment the fire
would reach the main m'ngazihes. ht e4di-

ituis COlIL to the Death ,
10. There remahred , now of the Spanish
ships only the Cristobal Colon , but it 'WOO
their best and fastest vessel. Forced by
the Ltuntion to hug the Cuban coast , its
only chance of escape vA5 by superior and
atstzttncd speed. When the Vizcaya wont
ashore the Colqn was about six miles ahead
of the Brooklyn and' the Oregon , but its
spurt was finished and' the American ships
were now gaining onhit. Behind the Brook-
hyn and the Oregon came the Texas , Vlxefl
and New York. It was evident from the
bridge of tim New York that all the Amen-
can ships were gradually overhauling the
chase and that the Colon had no ebatico of
escape ,
At 12:50 : o'clock the Brooklyn end the Ore.
gen opened fire and got the range , the Ore-
con's heavy hiells striking beyond , and at
1:10 : the vessel gave up without firing an-
othcr shot , hauled down its colors and ran
ashot'e at Rio Torquino , forty-eight iniIc
front Santiago. Captain Cooke of the Brooklyn -
lyn weat on board to receive the nor-
render , While his boat was alongside I
came up in the New 'York , received his report -
port and placed the Oregon in charge of the
wreck to save it , if possible , and I directed
the prisoners to be transferred to the Iteso-
lute , which had followed the chase. Corn-
niodore Schley. whose chief of staff had gone
on board to receive the surrender , hail directed -
rected that all their personal effects should
be retained by the officers , This order I
did not modify.
( ompletc Victory.
The Crlstobal Colon 'was not injured by
our firing and probably Is not much injured
by beaching , though it ran ashore at high
speed. The beach was so steep that it came
off by the working of the sea , but the sea
valves were opened and broken , trencher-
ously , I am sur , after the urreader , and
despite nil efforts t sank. When it became
apparent that It ' &luld not be l pt ilioat It
was inished by the , ew York bodily upon
.tbe beach , the , I'e' York's stern being
pla cd against iV for this purpose , the ship
botng handled by Captain Chadwick with
admirable judgment , and sank in shoal
water. The vesselrnay be saved. Had this
not been donethtyossel vould have gone
down in deep water and wouid have been tea
a certziinty a total loss ,
11. I regard tbfs omplote and Important
victory- over the 'spanish forces as the sue-
cessful finish of , se.veral weeks of arduous
and close bloolca4e , so. stringent and ef-
fcctivti during the night that the enemy
was doterreff from making the attempt to
escape at night , and dchibdratoly elected to
make the attempt in daytithe. That was
the case , I was informed by the commanding -
ing officer of the Cnistobal Colon.
12. It seems proper to briefly describe
hero the manner In which this was aceom-
phished , The harbor of Santiago is nato-
rally easy to , blockade , there being but one
entrance , and thdt a narrow ne , deep
water extending close up to the shore line
presenting no difficulties of navigation outside -
side the entranco. At the tirno cf my or-
rival before the port-June 1-the moon
was In its full , and there was sufficient
light during the night to enable any movement -
mont outside of the entrance to be detected -
tected , but with the waning of the moon
and the coming of dark nights there was
oppprtunity for the enemy to ccapn , or fo
his torpedo hosts to wake an attack ott the
blockading vessels , It was ascertained with
fair conclusiveness that the Merrirnac , so
gallantly taken into the channel Jupe 3. did
not obstruct it. I' therefore maintaIned the
blockade as follows :

To the battleships was assigned the duty ,
in turn , of , lighting the channel. Moving
'up to the port at a distance of from one
to two miles frotn the Morro-dependent

\Vly the batteritni never opened fIre upon
the searchlight ship was- always a matter of
qrprieo to inc. but , they never did. Sta-
ioncd close to the entrance of the uort
were three pleket launches and at a little
distance out three small picket launches ,
usually converted yachts , and , when they
were available , one or two of our torpedo
boats. With this arrangement there was at
least a certainty that nothing could got out
of the harbor undetected. After the arrival -

vigilance increased. The night blockading

give up until the Or.gohi hind thrown a thin-

once adds to the alrealy brilliant record of
this line lrnttiesllp , and speaks well of the
skill and efficiency which : has bean tnaln-

t4 , Sevcr1 of the ships were struck , the
Brooklyn more often than the others , but
very slight material damage was done , the
greatest being aboard tim Iowa , Our loss
'was one man killed and one wounded , both
on the Brooklyn , It Is difficult to explain
this immunity from loss of life in modern
warfare , but Spanish gunnery is poor at
best and the superior weight and accuracy
of our lIre speedily drove the men from
their guns and silenced their fire. This is
borne out by the statement of prisoners and
b observation. The Spanish yceseels as
they dashed out of the harbor were covered
with the smoke from their own guns , but.
this speedily diminished in volume and almost -
most disappeared. The fire from the rapid-
fIre batteries of the battleships appears to
have boon remarkably destructive. Au cx-
atnination of th stranded vessels shows
that the Almirante Oquondo especially bad
stiffered terribly from this fire. Its sides
Were everywhere pierced and its decks were
strewn with the charred remains of those
who had fallen.

6.-Sir : 1. I have the honor to rnako the
following report of that part of the squad.
ron under your command which came ender -
der ny observation during the engage-
iflont with the Spanish fleet on July 3.
2. At 9:35 : a. m. Admiral Ccrvc'a , with :
the Infanta Maria Teresa , Vizcaya , Oqhendo ,
Cristobal Colon and two torpedo boat do-
stroycre , came out of the harbor of Santiago -
tiago do Cuba , in column at a short distance
apart and attempted to escape to the west-
ward. Signal was made from the Iowa
that the enemy was coming out , but his
movement had boon . discovered train this
ship at the same moment. This vessel was
the farthest' west , except tim Vixen , In the
blockading line , Signal wn3 made to the
Western division as Irescribed In your general -
oral urders , and there was immediate and
rapid movement inward by your squadron
atid a general engagement at ranges begin-
fling at 1,100 yards and varying to 3,000 until -
til the Vizcaya was destroyed about 10:50 :
a , m , The concentration of the fire of the
squadron upon the ships coining out was
most furiou8 and terrible and great damage
was uuuu LUOIU ,
Forced on the Bench ,
8. About twenty or 'tventy-fivo minutes
after the engagement began two vessels ,
thought to be the Terror and Oquendo , and
iice verified as such , took fire from the
effective shell fire of the squadron and vore
forced to run on the beach some six or
seven flubs west of the harbor entrance ,
wbre they burned and blow up later. The
torpedo boat destroyers were destroyed
easily in the action , but the smoke was
80 dense In their direction that I cannot
cay to which vessel or vessels the credit
belongs. This , doubtless , 'ns bettor seen
tmi your flagship.
4. The Vizeaya and Colon , perceiving the
disaster to their consorts , continued at full
speed to the westward to escape and were
followed and engaged in a running fight
with the Brooklyn , Texas , Iowa and Oregon
until 10:50 : , when the Vlzcaya took fire from
our shells. It put Its helm to port and with
a heavy list to port stood in shore and ran
aground at Asorradero , about twenty-one
miles vest of Santiago , on fire fore and aft
and where It blew up during the night. Observing -
serving that it bad struck its colors and that
several vessels vero nearing it to Capture
antI save its crew , signal was made to cease
firing , The Oregon having proved vastly
faster than the other battleships , this vessel
and the Broohlyn , together with the Texas
and another vessel , which proved to be your
flagship , continued westward in pursuit of
the Colon , which had run close in shore ,
'
e'vidontly seeking some good epot to beach
if it should fail to elude Its pursuers.
As the Commodore Saw It ,
i ; . This pursuit continued with increasing
speed in the Brooklyn , Oregon nod other
ships and soon the Brooklyn and time Oregon -
gen were within long range of the Colon ,
when the Oregon opened fire with its thir-
teen-inch guns , landing a shell close to the
Colon , A moment afterwards the Brooklyn
opened fire with its eight-inch guns , landing
a shell just ahead of it. Severai other shells
were fired at the Colon , now in range of the
Brooklyn's and Oregon' guns , its , con-
niatuler seeing all chances of escape shut
off and tim destruction awaiting his shIp ,
fired a lee guq and struck its flac at 1:15 a.
m. and ran ashore at a Point some fifty
mules weat of Santiago harbor , Your flagship -
ship was coining up rapidly at the time , as
were also the Te as and Vixen , A little
later , after your arrival , the Cristobal Cole : : ,
which had struck to the Brooklyn and Ore-
son , was turned over to you as one of the
trophies of this great victory of the squadron -
ron under your command ,

the Vizcaya to rum it in hopes that if they
could destroy it the chamco of escape would
be increased , as it was aupposed it was tIme
swiftest of your squadron , This explains the
heavy fire mentipimed and the Vlzcaya's notion -
tion in the earlier moments of time engage-
mont. The execution of this was promptly
ddtcated by tltc fact that nil the ships of
the squadron advanced into close range and
