One after another the Spanish ships became the victims of the awful rain of shells which the American bat- tleghips, cruisers and gunboats poured upon them, and two hours after the first of the fleet had started out of Santiago harbor three cruisers and two torpedo boat destroyers were lying on the shore ten to 15 miles west of Morro Castle, pounding to pieces, smoke and flame 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 oe- curred every few minutes, sending eurls of dense white smoke a hundred feet in the air and causing a shower of broken iron and steel to fall in the water on every side, The bluffs on the coast line echoed with the roar of every explosion, and the Spanish ves- sels sank deeper and deeper into the sand or else the rocks ground their fiulls to pleces as they rolled or pitch- ed, forward or sideways, with every wave that washed upon them from the open sea. Admiral Cervera escaped to the shore in a boat sent by the Gloucester to the assistance of the Infanta Maria Te rosa, and as soon As he touched the beach he surrendered himself and his command to Lieutenant Morton and asked to be taken on board the Glou- cester, which was the only American vessel near him at the time, with sev- eral of his officers, including the cap- tain of the flagship.
