In a twinkling tbe big guna of the Texas belcbed forth their thucder, which was followed by a heavy fire from our other bbips. Tbe Spaniards turned to the westward under full steam, pouring a constant fire on.our ehipp, acd evidently hoping to get away by their superior speed. The Brooklyn turned her course parallel with that of the Spaniards, and, after getting in good range, be gan a running fight.

The Texas t teamed west with her adversary, and as she could not catch her with her speed ehe did with her shells. Capt. John W Pb)lip directed operations from tbe bridge until tbe fire got so hot that he ordered tbe ship to be run from the conning tower, and the bridge contingent to be moved down to the paeeage surrounding the tower. This was a providential move, for a moment later a Bhell from one of the Spanish cruisers tore through the nilot house.

This tore a hole through tbe ash heist amidships and exploded inside the smokestack. No one was injured. Tbe din of the guna was so terrific that the orders had to be yelled into the messengers' earp, and at times the smoke was so thick that abso lutely nothinsr could be seen. Once or twice the 12 -inch guns in the tnr rets were pwucg across the ship and fired. The concussion shook the struck by a great ball, and every thing movable was splintered.

At 10:10 o'clock tbe third of the Spanish sbipc, the one that had been exchanging compliments with the I Tae, was seen to be on fire and migbiy ceyr went up iruui uur euipt i . I . C I The Spaniard beaded fcr tbe shore and the Texas turned her attention to the one following. Tbe Brooklyn and Oregon, aftor a few parting shots, also left her contemptuously and made all steam and shell after the foremost two of tbe Spanish ships, the Almirante Oquendo and tbe Cristobal Colon. Just tben the two torpedo-boat destroyers Pluton and Furor were discovered. They had come out af ter the cruisers without being seen, and were boldiy heading west down tbe coast. "All small guns on tte torpedo-boats" was the order on the Tex. s, and in an instant a hair" of shot was pouring all about them. A sixteen pounder from the star board battery of the Texts, nnder j-osign uise, struck the foremost torpedo-boat fairly in the boiler. EXD OF THE DESTROYERS A great rending sound was heard above tbe roar of battle. A great spout of black smoke shot up from the destroyer and ehe was oct of commission. 1 be Iowa, which was coming up fast, threw a few compli- mentary shots at the second torpedo boat destroyer and passed on. The ittle Glouceeter, formerly J. Pier- pont Morgan's yatch Corsair, then sailed in and finished the eecond boat. Gun for gun and snot for shot the running fight was kept up between tbe Spanish cruisers acd the four American vessels. At 10:30 o'clock the Infanta Maria Teresa and Vieca ja were almost on the beach, and were evidently in distress. As tte exas was firing at them a white flag was run np on the one nearest her "Cease firing" called Capt. Philip, and a moment later both Spaniard were beached. Clouds of black smoke arose from each, and bright flisbes of flame could be seen shin ing through the smoke. Boats were visible putting cat from tbe cruisers to the shore. The Iowa waited to see that the two warenipn were realh out cf tbe fight, and it did rot take her long to determine ttat they would never fight again. The Iowa hereelf Lad suffered some very hard knocks. The Brooklyr, Oiegon, and Tex pushfd abed after the Almrante Oquendo and Cristobal Colon, which were now running the race of their iveo alotg the coast. At 10:50 o'clock when Admiral Cervera's fl g ship, the Almirante Oquendo, sud denly headed inshore, she had the Brooklyn and Oregob abeam and the Texas astern. The Brooklyn and Oregon pushed on after the Cristo bal Colon, which was making fitfc time and which looked as if ehe might escape, leaving the Texas to finish the Almirante Oquendo. This work did not take long. The Span ish ship was already burning. At li:l'5o elect down came a je:;jw and red nag at ner stern. Just as the Ttxa.ot abeam of her she was shaken by a mighty explosion. "ON T CHEER THE POOR DEVILS ARE Tbe crew of the lexas started to cheer. "Don t cb6er because ihe poor devils are dying'7 called CpL Philip, and the Texas left the Alcii i ante Oquendo to her fate to join in the chase of the Cristobal Colon. Tnat ship in desperation was ploughing the waters at a rata that caused tbe fast Brooklyn trouble. Tbe Oregon made great spaed for e battleship, and the Texas made tbe ffort of her life. Never since her trial trip had she made such time. The Brooklyn might have proved a match for the Cristobal Colon in speed, but ehe was not supposed to be her match in strength. GREATEST CHASE OF MODERN TIMES It would never do to allow even one of the Spauish ships to getaway. Straight into tbe west the greatest chase of modern times took place. The Brooklyn headed the puisuer. She stook well out from the shore in order to try to cut off the Crieto bal Colon at a point jutting out into the sea far ahead. The Oregon kept a middle course about a mile from the cruiser. The desperate Don ran close alone tbe shore, and now ad then he threw a shell of defiance lhe old Texas kept well up in tbe chase nnder forced draught for over two hours. The fleet Spaniard led the Airier icans a merry chaee, bat she had no chance. The Brooklyn gradually forged ahead, so that the escape o the Cristobal Colon was cut off at the point above mentioned. The Oregon was abeam of the Colon then and the gallant Don gave it up. DOWN CAME THE COLONS FLAG At 1:15 o'clock he headed for th shore, and five minutes later down came the Spanish flag. None of our ships was then within a mile of her bat her escape was cut off. The Texas, Oregon, acd Brooklyn closed in on her and stopped their engines a faw hundred yards away. j Commodore Schley left tbe Brock i lyn in a email boat and went aboard the Cristobal Colon and received the surrender. Meantime the New Y -rk, with Admiral Sampson on bjard, and the Vixen were coming UU IJ'J ll,o IUU- UUUli-UUL'lC Otiilfr, : . ..

Commodore Schley, coming along ride the Ttxas from tbe Crist&bal Colon in his gig called out cheerily, Tt was a nice fight, Jack, wasn't h?' Te veterans of the Texas lined up ad gave three hearty cheers and a fger for their old commander in chief. Capt.

Hobson. who sunk the eol.itr Merrin ac ia the entrance of San tiago harbor, and his seven com rades in that feat of dariog and danger, were exchanged to-riy for Spanish prisoners of war, and are now the idols of the whole army. They were brought into the American lines with bands playing and amid the wild a ad exultant cheers ot thousands of American soldiers. The exchange was effected after much parleying between Gen. Shafter and Gen. Toral, who is now in command ot the Spanish forces owing to the recent wounding of Gen. Li nares. The Spaniards at first were not willing to make an ex change, but they finally agreed to hand over the eight Americans' for a simiiar number of Spanish prisoners. At 2 o'clock this afternoon, all the preliminaries having been ar ranged, the prisoners in our hand to be exchanged started from the American lines. The road led right up the hill, on the crest of which our firing line was lying in the trenches. Passing through our line,- the procession moved 400 yards down the hill, toward Santiago and turned into a field. Here the bandages were removed from the prisoners' eyes, and then all the party sat down under a big tree to await the arrival of our men, who could already be seen moving out of the city with a white ilag floating above them. When the two parties met be neath the tree, the eves of both armies were urxm them. The panish officer who had charge of Hobson and the other Ameri cans and Lieut. Milev talked for an hour before the final terms of exchange were agreed upon. Lieut. Miley told the Spanish officer that he could select any one of the three Spanish Lieuten ants and he would be exchanged or Hobson. Finally, Lieut. Arias was selected by the Span ish officer, he being chosen lor the reason that he was wounded. When the negotiations were finally completed, Hobson receiv ed the heartv congratulations ot Lieut. Miley and the others ot the American party. As the Spaniards started on their return to the city, the Americans turned ack and made their wav to their own lines, as tnev came Dac. . - , i i down the road the soldiers rec ognized Hobson, who was on horseback in front of the line, by his uniform, and instantly broke into terrific cheering. The party moved rapidly forward, and when they were well within the American lines the sailors cheer ed, while the soldiers waved their hats and yelled themselves hoarse. One of the regimental bands played "The Star-Spang- ed banner," whereupon all hands cheered again and again. Hobson looked somewhat pale, due, perhaps, to his confinement in prison, but he smiled and bow ed on all sides in response to the enthusiastic welcome which was given to him. The ovation to the sailors sur passed even that given to Hob. m . "l 1 V I son. inev roae oacK in tne wag on that had conveyed the Span ish prisoners to the place of ex change. Ihe vehicle was con stants surrounded by yelling soldiers, who grabbed and hear tily shook the outstretched hands of the sailors. In honor of the sailors the band played 'When Johnnie Comes Marching Home.' Hobson at once paid his re spects to Gen.
