Spanish fire, the
flagship of the
commodore cora
manding and
the signaling of
"a — =s ' orders for bat
tle—this Is the
Story of the cruiser Brooklyn In the
battle which wiped out the Spanish
navy In the West Indies. It has been
given to but few warships to be the
center figure of events so stirring and
so momentous and survive the battle.
Tet five minutes before the ball open
ed all was so even and commonplace
that Commodore Schley, lounging easi
ly on the Brooklyn’s quarter deck,
yawned and said, "This is pretty
■low.” Captain Cook was Id his cabin
getting out his parade clothes for a
general muster. Suddenly he heard
the executive officer above call onL
"Clear ship for action!” Knowing from
the officers tone that the command
meant business. Captain Cook rushed
to the bridge and was told that the
enamy's ships were coming out. Od a
platform In front of the conning tower
Captain Cook found Schlev, with aids
and signalmen around him, giving bat
tle orders to the fleet. So quickly- had
the yawning bored sailor changed to a
fighting sod of Neptune.
At the first sound of alarm from the
outlook the Commodore grablied his
glass and started for the tower. On
the way he called to the signal offi
cers: "Signal 'The enemy is escaping!’ ”
and "Signal the fleet to ‘Clear ship!’ ”
Just as Schley reached the tower the
lowa’s first gun boomed, and the com
modore says that In exactly 1 minute
and 30 seconds from the time the first
signal flew every American ship on
the scene was firing at the Spanish
column. Yet the Spanish exit was to
all purposes a surprise as far the alert
Yankees can be surprised. It was a
quiet Sunday hour. The commander in
chief had sailed away, telling the ships
on guard to disregard his movements—
clear proof that In the cabins of the
blockaders the forenoon of Sunday,
July 3, was held to be an off hour for
sailors.
It was Indeed a sharp alarm for the
American sailors, but they fell to the
work of smashing Spain with more
Tim than they would have done at the
end of a long period of strain of anx
ious watching. A correspondent on
the Brooklyn says that when Captain
Cook came on deck he called out,
"Full speed ahead!” and at that In
stant the forward 8 Inch guua of the
ship boomed as echoes to the lown,
which had got In the first shot. This
was barely three minutes from the
time the escaping fleet was sighted.
The celerity of movement on the
Brooklyn astonished the correspond
ent, who was familiar with the ship
at all times, except In action. “What
to a layman,” he says, “seemed the
direst pandemonium and disorder was
the finest of discipline and the acme
of order. That men flew by, dropping
their shirts as they ran, that orders
Jlew thick and fast and that men and
officers seemed tumbling over one an
other was no criterion. That every
gun was ready to shoot, that the fire
had been started under four flesh
boilers, that every battle hatch had
•been lowered, that every watertight
compartment was closed, that ammu
nition was ready for the reloading of
the guns, that the Are pumps were on
and the decks wet down and that ev
try man of 800 was In the place as
signed him for battle completes an in
disputable miracle.”
When the Brooklyn opened fire on
Cervera’s flagship, the Marla Teresa,
the range was 1,500 yards. The Span
lard held to her course, but the Brook
lyn turned Blowly, firing first from
her port battery, then from her star
board. The Brooklyn was In lead of
the fleet because the Spaniards turn
ing westward steamed toward her
while the Brooklyn’s consorts were
left behind by Cervera’s movement
west
Commodore Schley says that the first
few moments decided the battle. He
gave the fleet orders to close In, and
the ready American ships dashed for
the Spaniards like a pack of hounds.
Cervera knew the kind of enemy he
bad In front, for after passing a certain
point of land he swung his ship and
opened on the Brooklyn. She was the
fleetest American In the line and des
tined leader of the chase, and If he
could cut her down by shell or ram
bis chances of escape would be dou
bled. Schley said that the ocean sur
face looked like a mill pond during a
Personally this did not Im
press him until Chief Yeoman Ellis
.was killed alongside of him and a
searchlight smashed at his elbow by
Spanish shells. He was watching the
battle and directing movements.
.Within 29 minutes of the appearance
of the Spaniards four of their ships
had been annihilated. After that he
could pay attention to matters close
at band.
Schley's advice to Captain Cook of
tha Brooklyn when the Spaniard ap
pnarrd was, "Have your rapid tire
(una ready for those fellows ” When
4>a saw the Vizcaya break from her
westward course and steer for tbe
Brooklyn he shouted, "Put your helm
hard a-port!” aud the ship began that
movement on a loop which has caused
so much speculation. When the swing
lag movement brought the starboard
fans to bear Schley cautioned the ship
captain to tell "the men to Are de
Überatel.v and make every shot tell.”
Before tbe starboard guns were out
•f range the Teresa had turned Inshore
in flames. This left the Vizcaya In the
lead with the Colon aud Oquendo Hu
faring behind to cover the torpedo
Boats All three fired at the Brooklyn,
nan followed a running fight of 54
minutes, Schley says, during which the
Brooklyn was ayuck lUO flint's. The

ami the crc.v ul tin* Brooklyn redou
bled tlu'lr oiTorls to finish the business.
Although the Oregon and Texas were
up ami pounding the Spaniards, the
fight lietwoeu the ’Vizcay a and Ilrook
fvn was a square naval set to. Still
tin* ships were not matched. The Viz
caya's armorplate was double the
thickness of the Brooklyn and her
guns heavier. Officers aud crew on the
Brooklyn seemed delighted although
anxious when the fight lay between
them. Schley sakl to Captain Cook,
“Get lu close. Cook, ami we’ll fix her.”
A turn of the helm brought the Brook
lyn within 950 yards, and the 8 and 5
Inch guns threw out clouds of smoke
bo dense that the ships could barely
see each other.
When the smoke cleared the Vizcaya
was turning Inshore and all the gun
ners had been driven from the exposed
chambers by the Brooklyn's terrible
fire. With one spasm of motion which
seemed an effort to ram tlie Brooklyn,
the dimmed Vizcaya turned to the ene
my, but soon put about aud ran ashore.
Meanwhile the Colon, passing Inside
the vessels which took all the punish
ment from the American guns, had
sped on out of range. Schley signaled
the Texas to look out for the sinking
ship and ordered all speed on the
Brooklyn lu chase of the Colon. He
said that he felt as Nelson did at
Trafalgar that victory would be In
complete if one vessel got away. As
It was to be a loug run, he told Cook
to let the men go to dinner. As the
Brooklyn drew near the Colon fired
her* after guns at her, but the men
paid no attention and finished their
meal under fire. Schley watched the
game of chase like a hound lu leash.
As the Brooklyn began to gain so that
It was evident she would catch up with
the fleeing Colon he said, “We may be
able to wing that fellow and then
Clark (Oregon) ami Phillip (Texas) will
get a show at him, even If he sinks
us.”
The Colon had a speed of 19% knots,
and the Brooklyn could make but 17.
However, Schley saw that the Span
iard was so close inshore that in or
der to clear a cape ahead she would
have to run miles to seaward, thereby
losing headway. The Brooklyn held
her course two miles offshore ready
to Intercept should the Spaniard at
tempt to come out.
Schley signaled to the Oregon to try
one of those heavy shells known as
“railroad trains.” lt was a 13 Inch
projectile fired at 8,900 yards and, In
passing the Brooklyn, sounded like a
railway train rushing through space.
It lauded astern the Colon, aud the
Brooklyn sent an 8 Inch the »am« dis
tance ahead of her. Schley signaled
to Clark of the Oregon where the shell
of the latter had struck, and Clark did
the same for the Brooklyn. The shots
were repeated, that of the OregoD
passing through the Colon fore and
aft and the Brooklyn's exploding In
her cabin, making a fearful wreck.
The Colon immediately fired a gun to
the leeward, struck her colors and
headed for the beach, third and last
victim of the Brooklyn’s guns, which
fired that day 1,978 shots.
Schley seat Captain Cook of the
Brooklyn on t>oard the Colon to de-
m> maud nneondi
tional surrender.

victors to the rear, but Schley and 11. •
ship’s crew took it cheerfully, with the
feeling, says the commodore, •‘that
there was not anything which carried
the Spanish flag that day that dared
come within battery range of the
Brooklyn.”
The scars ou the Spaniards showed
that this was not a vain ls>ast. One
half of the principal shots which de

Brooklyn’s five Inch guns. With these
she hit the Teresa 6 times, the Oquen

According to the report of the experts
the only lilts on the Colon wreck were

alone destroyed the one vessel which
had a show of escape. She also finish

only after tlie
'vxr C—colonel was
" dead did tlie
men realize wliat a soldier be was aud
how comidoteiy the leader makes or
mars a command.
It was the old story over again with
the Nebraskans and their soldierly
colonel. He was a West Pointer, a
regular with a good record who had
been picked out by some out: in author
ity to lead the first soldiers of Ne
braska in battle. Like all novices, the
soldiers thought all considerations
should weigh except the essential one
of discipline. Perhaps they wanted a
lenient, colonel to give them a good
time; perhaps a bamlhox soldier to
show off aud to show them off before
schoolboys aud women.
Of course the volunteers didn't know
the kind of man fortune and official
good sense had sent them, but when
he was dead on the field of battle they
found out that he had died doing a
little repetition act In the line of dar
ing needs. Here’s a little scene from
the campaign against Victoria and hlg
Arizona Apaches In the eighties, with
Stotsenburg at the forefront. The
Apaches had a splendid position, and
with carbines were giving a troop of
colored cavalry, which had cut Into
their trail, a hot time. In fact, the ne
groes were surprised at the Apache
tactics and on the point of getting
away from them when Stotsenburg
dashed In from an opposite side of the
plain on the flank of the Indians. Tne
modest soldier always declared that
he didn't know there were any Indians
in that part of the country, or he
would have taken another route. If
this Is true, he must have been sur
prised when he and a sergeant and
eight troopers ran plump Into 40
Apaches In a close gully. The first
hostile shot knocked the sergeant over,
and tlie troopers took to cover like
good border fighters. Stotsenburg,
however, picked up his wounded man
and carried him to shelter behind a
bowlder.
“Then,” said a comrade of those
days, “he turned In with his handful
of men and conducted a campaign of
his own for the benefit of an arroya
full of Apaches. The rest of his regi
ment came up in time to bury the In
dians.”
The next scene shows Colonel Stot
senburg coming to the rescue of com
rades In the Philippines. One day
when Stotsenburg was absent from his
command in Manila the famous scout
ing detachment of Major Bell discov
ered a Filipino ambush cleverly laid in
horseshoe form and encircling a rlce
fleld at the edge of a wood. Bell had
but 40 men, and one was killed and
five wounded at the first Filipino vol
ley.
The Americans skirmished for points,
then, finding themselves outnumbered,
retired, closely followed by insurgents.
The wounded were carried along and
two of their bearers hit In this service,
but the body of the dead scout was
left within the Insurgent lines. Major
Bell asked for help to recover the
body and punish the Filipinos, but the
Nebraska battalion which came up in
response was checked by the enemy’s
volleys from behind well laid trenches.
Artillery was then sent for, aud while
waiting the sun prostrated more men
than Filipino bullets. It was a dead
lock, with the Fllipiaos holding the
best end. Then Stotsenburg came to
the front and was hailed, much like
Sheridan at Cedar Creek, with the en
thusiastic cheers of his men. They
had learned that he was the man for
any crisis. The colonel was quickly
followed by the Second battalion, which
he had ordered forward as he passed
through camp, and he at once led a
charge of the whole force.
Colonel Stotsenburg went in at the
head of the line aud was shot dead,
with a bullet through the breast, before
he reached the Insurgent trenches. The
Nebraskans rushed on fiercer than ever
after the fall of their colouel, and Just
as they mounted the works the Fili
pinos broke and ran. The result of the
charge was to clear the enemy from
the jungle aud open u road to Malolos.
It cost the Nebraskans 10 per cent of
their number, and the death of ono
who was a “lion in battle."
A Nebraskan fired the first shot in
the Filipino war, and no doubt the time
ly aggressiveness of the officers and
men of the regiment staved off a sud
den uprising and massacre of Ameri
can troops. The day before the out
break Colonel Stotsenburg was insult
ed by an ugly tempered Filipino officer
and was compelled to order his post
occupied by one of his own squads.
The Filipino tried to get possession of
the post without fighting for it, but the
colonel was firm, and at night the fel
low came back with a following to pit
against a sergeant’s squad. The maiu
sentry, Private Grayson of Company
D, halted the natives, but they kept
on and made menacing motions with

RAW AS BEEF 1
FROM ECZEMA!
Mn Tnrflira Cmiol tn thn Not niueh attention is often paid to tha
HU IUI 11110 LijUul lU 1110 first lymptomi of Eczema, but it is not long
before the little redness begins to itch ana
Itching and Burning of lead to suffering and torture almost unen
durable. It is a common mistake to regard
ThlC Coorflll Hicosco • roughness and redness of the skin as
• 1110 rCflllUl UloGQoGi merely a local irritation ;it is but an indica
tion of a humor in the blood—of terrible
Eczema—which is more than skin-deep, and can not be reached by local appli
cations of ointments, salves, etc., applied to the surface. The disease itself,
the real cause of the trouble, is in the blood, although all suffering is produced
through the skin; the only way to reaeh the disease, therefore, is through
the blood.
Mr. Phil T. Jones, of Mixersville, Ind., writes:
“I had Eczema thirty years, and after a great deal
of treatment my leg was so raw and sore that it gave me fL
constant pain. It finally broke into a running sore, and iP J
began to spread and grow worse. For the past five or
six years I have suffered untold agony and had given up
all hope of ever being free from the disease, as I have gl jJuSfo
been treated by some of the best physicians and have V PsLvMy:
taken many blood medicines, all in vain. With little
faith left I began to take 8. 8. 8., and it apparently
made the Eczema worse, but I knew that this was the mi
way the remedy got rid of the poison. Continuing Sfl v
8. 8. 8., the sore healed up entirely, the skin became
clear and smooth, and I was cured perfectly.” V
Eczema is an obstinate disease and can not be cured by a remedy which is
only a tonic. Swift’s Specific—
S. S. S. FOR THE BLOOD
—is superior to other blood remedies because it cures diseases which they oan
not reach. It goes to the bottom—to the cause of the disease —and wfll core
the worst case of Eczema, no matter what other treatment has failed. It is
the only blood remedy guaranteed to be free from potash, mercury or any
other mineral, and never fails to cure Eezema, Scrofula, Contagions Blood
Poison, Cancer, Tetter, Rheumatism, Open Sores, Ulcers, Boils, ete. .Insist
upon S. S. S.; nothing can take its place. •

Ignored a second challenge Grayson
shot the leader anil one man dead.
Grayson's shot aroused the camp,
and the whole regiment was quickly
In arms. The men knew by the tem
per of the Filipinos what would follow
an outbreak, before The bugle ceased
sounding the companies were on the
march from their quarters to their sta
tions in line. After a silence of lit)
minutes the Filipino Mausers began to
crack, and the supplementary war in
the Philippines was on.
For days the bushwhacking strug
gle went on around Manila. The Ne
braskans cleared the natives out of the
territory between the waterworks and
the city. Colonel Stotsenburg proved
to the men that the powers that be
made no mistake In appointing him
their leader. He was at the head of
every foray' and attack and a master
hand In war. One dictum from his
headquarters fixed his status as a
commander for the field. He declared
that the men must be fed fully and
regularly no matter how far they were
from the commissary base and that
nothing in the island of Luzon should
prevent it.
An orderly who stood by the colonel
throughout the first struggle says:
“For 17 hours Saturday night and Sun
day I was under an almost continuous
fire and right at the front all the time.
Saturday night the sharpshooters
made It so hot for me that when tue
moon came out I was compelled to lie
flat in the mud in the buffalo wallows.
Several times they came so close to
my ear that the poor old drums rang
like doorbells from the concussion. I
lost my hat. and once, when crossing
an open spot with the colonel, one of
the bullets just ticked across the top of
my head, making, my hair jump up
straight like a patch of w'ceds. That
yvas my closest call. I used to wail
because I am not six feet tall. If I
had been a six footer, 1 would have
been shot through the head.”
Private Towle belougs to the Omaha
company known as the Thurston Ri
fles. This company has had many
lively adventures since the Filipino
outbreak. When the line was ordered
forward to clear the country and drivs
the natives from their works around
Manila, the Thurstons were In the ad
vance guard and struck the insurgent
strongholds first. At one point, In their
eagerness to close with the enemy,
they nearly ran upon an ugly ambush,
but their leader, Captain “Buck” Tay
lor, saw the danger, ordered his men t»
lie down, then to withdraw. Taking
this for a sign that the Americans
were retreating, the natives rushed

forward and received a dose of their
own medicine. At the right moment
the Omaha boys arose and poured a
fearful fire into the Filipiuos.
Another member of the Rifles, Pri
vate William J. Koopman, with a
Mauser hole through the shoulder,
writes under date of April 4 about the
week of battles which began on March
25. The western idea of a “good
Indiun” lias been applied to the na
tives. and Koopman tells how the
American volunteers made some “2,000
good niggers” in their march of 39
miles from Manila to Malabon and
Malolos. He says his regiment was on
the tiring line from start to finish
and lost 120 killed and wounded. This
was the heaviest loss of any regiment
in the Philippines. The Thurstons had
the right of the regiment. It started
with 60 men and 3 officers and finish
ed with 21 men and no officers. Koop
man tells how Captain Taylor, himself
and six others were wounded In at
tacking a hill crowned with a stone
trench. The company charged across
an open ricefleld, fucing volleys of
bullets all the way. Captain Taylor
and 7 men were hit, but there were 16
“good niggers” in the trench on the
crest to square the blood account.
Koopman declares that there are no
war clubs and bows and arrows in the
Filipino war. The whole country is
covered with breastworks and trenches
well laid with open fields in front.
Furthermore, Koopman says, the in
surgents “are fighting with better guns
than we have and they shoot lead and
steel.” It seems that the Americans do
the clubbing when the natives allow
them to get near enough. Captain Tay
lor was shot while in the act of club
bing a Filipino, and his brother, Ser
geant Taylor, was beside him imitat
ing his example.
Up to June 1 the tally list shows 225
killed and wounded in the First Ne
braska. The original roster was 1,200.
In the latter actions there have been
less than 400 on the firing line. The
battles of the regiment include the
stand against the attack on Manila,
the triumphant march through the
Filipino camps and villages, in Febru
ary; the battles before Malolos and
San Fernando and the bloody attack
on Calumpi*. Geobge L. Kilmek.
