WAR RECORD
During the two days fight around
Santiago the Ist and 2d days of the
month 280 men and officers were killed,
and wounded, while 79 are miss
ing.
Our men were over zealous, and
charged the Spanish intrenchments be
fore the artillery could come up and
clear the way, hence the large lose of
life.
On Sunday, the 3d inst, the Spanish
fleet at temptedLtw-escape from the har
bor of Santiago and were met by our
fleet deMOyed. All the Span-
were beached or burned.
V Admiral Ceryera cried when made a
prisoner
Only one of our men wan killed dur
ing the fight. It was as complete a vie
tory as Dewy gained at Manila. An
account of the battle written by some
body on the Texas appears in another
place.
The report of the return of the Span
ish fleet through the Suez canal, home
m>mr ~ ward bound, was confirmed, and a fleet
under command of Commodore Watson
was being prepared to meet the Spanish
fleet, either at the Canaries or off the
coast of Spain.
The return of Hobeon to the New
York, (he having been exchanged 1 was
made the occasion of a celebration by
the crew of that vessel
Upon the artival of reinforcements
for Dewy at Manila, with land forces,
several foreign war ships left the har
bor.
The captured Spanish officets at San
tiago professed ignorance of tho de
struction of their fleet at Manila.
Some of the magazines of the Span
ish vessels exploded and the effect was
to blow up the decks, and not the
keel, as was the case with the Maine.
All the Spanish prisoners, were taken
to Portsmouth, N. H.; excepting the of
ficers, who were taken to Annapolis.
On Monday, the entire Spanish Min
istry resigned their offices, and the
Queen appointed a new Cabinet.
Gen Shatter was closing eyery ave
nue of escape froSs Santiago, and oar
artillery bombarded the Spanish lines.
The Spanish spies were forced to
leave Canada.
On Tuesday Toral was yet hesitating
about 'surrendering, and onr fleet threw
shells over the hills into the town.
The Beard of Surrey reported that
the wrecks of the C'hristobal Colon and
Maris Teresa might be saved, and that
_ nil ilu- other v*jnseld were total
wracks
On Wednesday Gen Miles assumed
command of the army at Santiago, and
as fourteen cases of yellow fever have
appeared he ordered an infected village
to be burned. A general attack on the
intrenchments about Santiago was ex
pected today.
In the Phillipines Dewey resented a
slight interference by a German war
ship, and took possession of Grande is
land in Subic bay.
HON. JOHN C. STURTEVANT, member
of Congress from the Crawford county
district, stopped over in Butler for a
ll '** ■' last on his return
home after adjournment of Congress.
Mr. Sturtevant is widely known as the
man who defeated the great Joseph C.
Bib!ey for congress two years ago, in
the Crawford-Erie district. His friends
hoped to see him a candidate for re
election but he declined to run again.
He was a very useful and efficient
member and always active in the in
terests of his constituents. The late
Congress looked well after the honor
and interest of the Nation in its present
conflict with Spain.
WASHINGTON.
Congress adjourned last Friday.
There, was a patriotic demonstration
just before the Speaker Reed announced
adjournment, the members joining in
singing "Jly Country 'tis of Thee". A
thousand school teachers in the galleries,
(in town to attend the Educational Con
vention) also joined in the singing.
In the Senate there was considerable
opposition to adjourning at this time,
Senator Morgan saying that:
"The very moment, that the treaty of
~ ~ |"I 11 nt;il fav ' V p miiricnt ?4ie
government of Spain, the military pow
er of the President will cease and the
legislative branch of the government
mast provide a government
for any territory we may acquire by the
war. Tho power of congress comes
immediately into effect and we ought
to be here to exercise it". But Congress
had voted President McKinley ample
power and money to prosecute the war.
and the majority favored adjournment.
The salary of W. R. Eastman a clerk
in the Butler P. O. was raised from S6OO
to $700; and that of A. E. Oesterling
from $4<M) to SSOO.
Lewis llenshaw has been granted a
pension of $8 per month; that of Valen
tine Poff of Chicora was increased from
s•>4 to SBO per month.
W. E. Stephenson of McCandless in
creased from *6 to SB.
Fifteen Philadelphiaus were on the
ill'fatC'l steamer Bnrgoyne. which was
struck and sunk by a sailing vessel, i
near Sable island, during a fog. a few
days ago. The steamer jarried 718
passengers and crew, and of these 553
were drowned. The short time that
elapsed between the accident and the
sinking of the ship makes one -wonder
a* t-j the utility of bulkheads. The af
fair was one of the most horrible in
maratiuie history.
Gov. HASTINGS appointed \V. D.
Porter, Judge of Common Pleas No. 3,
of Allegheny county, to fill the yacancy
on the Superior Bench caused
by the death of Judge Wickham;
and the Bar of Allegheny conntv has
recommended John S. Robb Sr. for
Porter's place. The contest between

The following account of the naval bat
tie off Santiago harbor WRS written on
board the Texas, on the night of Sun
day. the 3d inst
"They are coming ont?" This was
the crv that stnrtb-d our ships at 9:30
o'clock this iSnnday) miming. It was
Lient Bristol who uttered the exclama
tion. We were lying directly in front
of Santiago harbor, and he had seen
moving smoke floating over a point on
the right of the harbor entrance. Hard
ly had he shouted, when out from be
hind the Estrellas batterv poked the
nose of a cruiser, coming with a big
bone in her teeth.
"Clang''' founded the electric gongs.
The. ship's company beat to
quarters, the orders were shouted for
full steam ahead, and in dashed the
Texas to meet the foe.
"It's the Viscaya," was the general
comment.
Certainly the ship belonged to the Viz
caya class but before we had done won
dering what she was trying to do, we
saw the Cristobal Colon, easily distin
guishable by the millitary mast between
the two funnels. She was treading on
the heels of the foremost ship, tearing
through the water at tremendous speed_
the smoke rolling from her funnels, and
hiding what was astern of her. In a
few minntes, however, we made out
twi more cruisers of the Viscaya type,
and were then sure that Cervera was at
last coming to give us battle in a desper.
ate attempt to cut his way to freedom
On we went, getting more speed at
every kick of the screw. From the first
the signal flags had been fluttering the
message "The enemy is trying to es
cape. "
We could see that the cruiser Brook,
lyn and the big battle-ships lowa and
Oregon responded at once, and shaped
their courses for the enemy, their dis
tance from the shore being about two
and a half miles at the time they first
got our signal. But we had little time
to look around. Hardly was the lead
ing Spanish ship clear of the shadows of
old Morro before boom" went one of
her big guns—and the battle had begun.
That first shell went wild.
Then our old ship shook from her keel
np. The big Texas' guns began to talk,
and soon our other ships were mixing in
the fray. The Spaniards turned to the
westward, and we kept bearing in on
them. They were firing incessantly,
and kept their engines going under forc
ed draft, evidently intending to outrun
and escape us.
The Brooklyn, just as cunning at the
game as they were, turned her course
nearly parallel with theirs, though
drawing into a little closer quarters all
the time.
She was soon in good range, and her
running tight mast have been a great
one; but we had so much on our hands
that there wab no time to stop and ad
mire Commodore Schley's work with
his guns.
We were well in the lead of our ships,
nearer the enemy than the others, and
getting a large share of the enemy's
attention. We hammered away at the
Spaniards, and they hammered back, as
they gradually drew to the westward,
keeping in the shadow of the shore.
Bnt we nailed the third ship in there
line. This was either the Viscaya 01
the Maria Thereia
We had her in fighting range before
she could get by, and you should have
seen the first battle ship commjjponed
in the United States Navy when she got
down tQ business in her first sea tight
1 UUy"flswt to fail tirt Texas the ' OUI
lloodoo,'' but I guess the "Old Hero''
will be good enough for ns after this
day. We were in close enough now, so
wo turned west with our adversary.
Our speed was not equal to hers, but
what we lacked in speed we made up b.
shells. We conld see that our shuts
were getting homo, but the enemy re
plied with much spirit and some accu
racy.
Cspt Philip was on the bridge up to
this time, but it soon became the part of
discretion to retire, so he ordered the
bridge contingent to the conning tower
passage, taking control of the ship from
tho tower itself. Hardly had the Capt
left the bridge when a shell from a fly
ing Spaniard ripped through the pilot
house. It certainly would have killed
the man at the wheel and eyery officer
on the bridge, had not the commander
given his conning tower order just as
he did.
So the Captain, with Executive Offi
cer Harber, Navigating Officer Miner
and Cadet Reynolds who was operating
the range finder, stood on the conning
tower platform, issuing his orders
through messengers, and keeping as
cool as charity through all the heat of
the fighting.
For half an hour the enemy's shells
whistled all about the Texas. One
more got home. This bone bored a hole
through the ash hoist amidships and ex
ploded inside the smokestack, doing
some merely incidental damage and in
juring nobody.
Our own guns, however, were enough
to kill delicate men. Their din was so
dreadful that orders had to be shouted
right in to the ears of our messengers.
Then the smoke would come up in such
density that we conld not see each
other.
On two occasions the 12-inch turret
guns were swung athwartship and turn
ed loose. The concussion then shook
the immense vessel as if she had been a
toy boat. The sensation was rnnch as
if we had been struck by a big project
ile. Everything movable was splinter
ed
Ail the men near the guns were thrown
on their faces. Seaman Schrain was
knocked through a hatchway into the
forward handling-room, breaking his
leg. But the enemy must have suffer
ed more than we did from the shots, for
wo held a deadly range, and the guns
were being served as guns were never
k. .ved before.
The Oregon had come whirling past
and gone on to help Schley and the
Brooklyn dispose of the leading Spanish
shii»s. The lowa, too. had turned west
ward and was continually thundering.
We were all in tho mess uj> to our el
bows.
"She's on fire!' - That was the word
we passed from ear to ear. shrieking il
in our joy.
For masses of smoke were pouring
from our particular antagonist, and in
a pause of the firing we heard our men
cheer and shout their glee. Oui 'big
shells had got throngh their armor and
we felt that our part of that fight was
nearly won. Soou we saw that our
smoking and battered adversary was
done for.
She was making all speed for the
beach, so we let her go and began firing
at the cruiser steaming behind her—the
fourth in the Spanish line.
The Brooklyn and Oregon, after a few
parting shots, also abandoned all effort
to help us mash this particular cruiser,
Aurt devoted their strain ana gnu- t.>
the two foremost vc- sels. which we took
t) be the Qquendo and the Csi-tokil
Colon.
.Tust then we sighted the two torpedo*
boat the Furror and Pluton
They had come ont behind the cruise
and were sneaking off down the coast,
going a* if had the right of way.
"All small guns on the torpedo boats
went the order."
Soon we had the ocean splashing and
foaming all about them. Ensign Hi-*-,
with a six-pounder of the starlxiard bat
ter}'. got in the first effective shot. It
struck the leading destroyer fairly in
the boiler.
Above the roar of battle we could bear
a crashing and rending, and we saw a
great spout of black smoke roll up from
that torpedo boat. Either the Fnnor or
the Pluton went out of commission then
and there.
Up came the lowa with a rnsh and
threw a few shots at the second destroy -
er, but passed on for larger game.
Then the gallant little Gloucester,
which is nothing but Pierpont Morgan -
converted yatch, the Corsair, sailed
right into the Spanish terror of the sea,
and had her finished in short urder
But, gun for gun shot for shot, the
four big American vessels and the four
finest ships in Sprin's navy kept up the
fight, and by 10:30 o'clock —one hour
from the time Lieut Bristol saw that
cloud of smoke —the two cruisers, which
were last to leave the harbor were smok
ing ruins, going on the beach to keep
from sinking.
Up went a white flag on the one near,
est us, and "Cease firing" was Captaiu
Phillips' immediate order. A moment
later both Spanish cruisers were beach,
ed, and bright flashes of flame coming
through the smoke which enveloped
them told of the destructive force of
boiler or magazine explosions.
We co ald see the ships boats crowded
to their gunwales pulling for the shore.
The lowa, which had received some
pretty hard knocks in the fight, remain
ed to see that these two ships were real
ly done for, while the Brooklyn, Texas
and Oregon pushed on to end or capture
the other two, which were racing for
life along the coast to the westward,
well in shore.
At i 0:50 o clock Admiral Cerveras
flagship, the Oquendo, suddenly turned
for the shore, the Oregon and Brooklyn
pounding her abeam while we were
blazing away astern
On went the Brooklyn and Oregon af
ter the Cristobal Colon, which really
looked as if she were going to get away,
as she was making great speed.
We were left to give the Oquendo the
coup de grace. 14 did not take us long
The Spanish Admiral s ship was already
bnry&g, and at 11:05 down came the
and red flag at her stern, and we
in abeam. Then, in a moment,
the* was a mighty explosion on the
Oqnendo. and our boys set up a cheer,
"Don't cheer boys,!" shouted Captain
Philip. "Those poor devils are dying.
So we left her to her fate to go plug
ging on after the Colon, which, in her
desperation, was plowing through trie
water at a pace that put tha Brooklyn
to her best efforts. The Oregon was
making wonderful speed for a battle
ship. and we just settled down to make
the effort of onr lives, Never since onr
trial trip have we done so well
We all feared that the Cristobal Colon
would leave us all except the Brooklyn,
aud Commodore Hchley's '-hip was not
supposed to be a fair lighting match for
the big Spanish cruise*
We conld not afford to have it said
that even one of the Spanish ships got
away, so these moments of the chase
were thrillinc MM. Straight into the
west we headed, blazing and hanging
as we went in the greatest marine race
of modern times.
The Brooklyn headed out toward a
point, in the endeavor to cut off the
Spaniard there, while the Oregon held
middle course, not mu *h over a mile
from the cruiser, and we hammered
away in the Colon's wake.
The desperate Don hugged the shore,
firing now pnd again at ns, and giving
the Brooklyn and Oregon her best fire
We held up astonishingly well under
our forced draught, and no one need ev
er sneer at the speed of the old Texn.-
again.
But run as she might the Spaniard
had no chance.
The Brooklyn gradually forged ahead
of her, and got between her and the
place where she would have to make her
swing to round that point. For over
two hours she had led n.s a lively chas<\
but her time had come. The Oregon
held her abeam and the Texas astern.
There was no way of escape.
At 1:15 in the afternoon the gallant
Colon gave it up and turned her bow
for the beach. At 1:20 down came her
flag, though not one of our ships was
within a mile of her, but we all closed
in, Brooklyn, Oregon, and Texas togeth
er, stopping our engines a few hundred
yards away.
Commodore Schley boarded the en
emy and the surrender was to him.
Just then the New York, with Adnii
ral Sampson aboard,was seen coming up
accompanied by the Vixen.
"We have won a great victory. De
tails will be communicated. '
Such was the signal Schley set for his
Admiral, and the victory certainly was
Schley's.
Then in that little cove under the
high hills of the Cuban coast, we Amer
icans celebrated onr Fourth of July on
the 3d of the month.
The celebration may have been a little
premature according to the almanac,
but it was as hearty as any ever indulg
ed in. Our ships cheered one another,
the Captains exchanged loud compli
ments through their megaphones, and
the Oregon turned out her band to send
the music of "The Star Spangled Ban
ner" over the lines of Spaniards drawn
up to be surrendered.
A Spanish Oflicer's account of
tli«; Figlit.
This is a plain tale of Spanish d'-as
ter, as rendered by Capt. Maocrohon
second captain of the Maria Teresas
His chief it will be remembered, was
desperately wounded during the tight.
"1 love my country," said the Span
iard simply, "and my hart bleeds for
her now. Our fleet, my country's pride
has !>eeu destroyed. 1 "fear that 1 hen
will be an uprising at home when its
destruction is made known. Onr plai
for escape was well arranged, but bet
ter formulated than executed. We had
arranged to force our way out 011 Satur
day night, and the Maria Texas was to
have led. But, contrary to onr exr>ee
nations, the searchlights of your slvps
did not illuminate the channel that
night, as had been usual, and without
that light we were unable to discern
tho wreck of the Merrimac so we could
not go out. You know how we came
out the next morning—Sunday, that,
was. Great crowds were expected to
come down to the wharf to sec us de
purt, hut the American troops wen,
pushing the city two hard in front
and there were none to see us off.
Our orders were to s'eam at full speed
to the westward, after clearing the har
bor, and concentrate our attack on the
Brooklyn, paying no attentiod to any
of the other chips, unless they forced us
to attack them.
SNO. in th« Jiurnmg. the}* signaled t-.
a» from the »—tt**rv tha r only the Texas
and the Brooklyn wore l*» th»- westward,
and wo pot way. the Maria Ter
esa being "he flagship and taking the
lead. We opened tire on the Brooklyn
and th.' Texa- answered it but her shot
fell short. Otherwise she won Id have
struck us. for it was a straight line
shot. The Brooklyn and lowa then
fired, but neither shot hit. Again the
Brooklyn and the Texas fired The
Brooklyn s shells went into the admir
al s cabin, and exploded, set fire to the
after part of» the ship. The ahell
from the Texas pierced our side armor
and exploded in the engine room, burst
ing the main steam pipe. We signaled
to the engineer to start the pumps, hut
got no reply, and then found that
all below in that part of the
ship had been killed At that lime
it v.*as like hell on our bridge. Sht lis
were bursting all around ns aud the
ship's hull was being riddled below.
The captain turned to me and said. Sir,
do yon think it is best to contiuue the
hopeless fight. or, for the sake of hu
manity and to save life, should we not
beach the ship? Many of our guns are
dismounted and our engines are crip
pled." Sir, I replied, 'we are unable to
fightClonger. I jet us beach the ship
Then as I said that, a shell struck our
captain. His last words were haul
down the colors. The American tire
was so fierce and their shells were
bursting around us so fast and making
so much smoke that the Americans
could not see that the ilag was down
and continued firing. I sent "• low for
a blanket and as soon as it was run up
the firing ceased.
"Meanwhile, the Vizcayahad run 1K?-
tween ns and the Texas and was then
engaging three ships --the Brooklyn
Organ and T- xos. Sh>. iuade a desper
ate but hopeless fight Now that we
have learned that we lost ietween eight
hundred and a thousand men and the
Americans lost oniy one man. it amazes
us. It is incredible. We cannot com
prehend it."
It does not seem possible and yet
we must believe it. Have we not seen
with our own eyes the utter wrecks of
our ships and how yours were not hnrt.

"If you bad managed to escape, wher
would you have gone? To Cienfuegos ;
"By "no means, the officer replied.
"Oar intention was to run to Havana,
raise the blockade there and enter the
harbor."
"What will be the result of the
battle r The Spanish commander was
asked.
"Ah. I do not know." was the mourn
ful rep I }'. "I hear now that the Amer
icans intend sending their fleet to my
country —that is my anxiety, Mv po<>r
Spain will be helpless against your at
tack. I have seen what your ships can
ilo and know our exposed cities will be
destroyed."
"You were, then, much impressed
with the fire of the American ships?
'We were all astonished by its amaz
ing rapidity ami deadliness, was the
frank reply. "It will be an awful fight
and Spain will sutler most. But if any
one was bold enough to suggest that to
my countrymen lie would l>e cut to
pieces. If America carries the war in
to Spain ami defeats us there, the dis
grace would be too great to bear. You
know the fall of a great nation is like
the fall of a great family, 'and
shall be the fall thereof, and I am
afraid that is how it will be with Spain.
O God, open the eyes of my country
men at home, that They may nnder
stand why we were, defeated h>-re
"Do you think Santiago can hold out
much longer?" the second captain of
the Maria Teresa was asked.
No," he replied. They are very
shart of provisions there. Rice is the
chief article of diet, little else in the
way of f'»od being left. Beef is very
scarce and very poor.
The officer was curious to know as to
whether the Americans had suffered
much loss when their land forces made
an attack on Santiago. He was told
the number reported lost, and spenjed
- urprised that it was no greater "Why.
we lost that many ourselves," he said,
"and yet our men were fighting behind
entrenchments and your men were at
tacking us."

Ye powers in Washington, Oh. send us

While Yankee men and ships aud guns
Pour burning shot and shell
Into their town hkt ll—l,
You bet we'd like to smell
The powder, feel its spell.
Ob,

Home guards we will not be, so send us
to the front!
We came to fight and free, so send us

Where the curtain has gone up,
So that we may get a sup
Of any blood that flows
Ana drive into our foes
Some Pennsylvania blows
To iignieu Cuba s woes.
Oh,

We ;isik for no soft snaps, just send us

W- t • i-afc- -Hps, JO send us
And we'll beat our Keystone seals
Where the br.tti- hottest reels,
If but Old Glory shed

We'll light till siain or lied
Each foe, or we are dead,
Oh,
