THERE MY BE A FIGHT When they Meet on Shore. ’ I hrllllng Story of fiattie. • • Washington, July 27.—The feeling of the men in the navy Over the Sampson-Schley con troversy is shown in a letter re cieved here from an officer on the Brooklyn. Naturally this letter gives the Schley side of it. for the Brooklyn is the commo dore’s flagship, and every man on it worships him. Though this may in a sense be a prejudiced view of the situation, it is none the less interesting, for it gives' an insight into the life in the navy and a picture of the great battle as it appeared to one who was in it. In this letter the writer says: “You get so many contradic tory reports about the battle (hut doubtless you wonder some times if them ever was a fleet. So I’m going to tell you, in the most general way, how it hap pened. ' “The ships were ranged in a s -mi circle aoout the mouth of the harbor, distant three miles. The Brooklyn on the extreme West, Texas next, then lowa, Oregon and Indiana. Cervera chose that day because he saw that the N'-w Orleans, -New Yoik, Newa'k mud Massachu setts were away. ’‘lie. knew he could run nwuv from ail the bat ilwship" except the Brooklyn, a>d thought he < ould beat her. So his pludl was for all four us his cruisers to concentrate their fire on th ■ Brooklyn, as there would then be no ship that could pur sue him. “It was a splendid plan, a wisely chosen opp nl.unity, ex cellent strategy, and the only thing be lacked was the men be ikiiiu tlifl vV it ii AjiitfriCrtil g mners h * would have sunk us in ten minutes. “S ihley saw through the game in a minute, and remark ed to Captain Co«»k that he thought the Brooklyn wniid have to be sacrificed but he nev er hesitated. We steamed right in toward them, firing with our port buttery, until we got so close that we were in iminiiiont danger of rum and torpedo. Then we turned to the rightr, and fs they tried to rpn between v.« and the shore wk eilrJed around and chased the in dhwn the coast to the Westwa'd. A newspaper man from Jamaica told me af terwards that the Yizcaya peo ple had chosen us as their spe cial antagonist, even as we had done with them ever sj|ice the ships lay side by side at the queen’s jubihe. “They certainly put up a garni fight, but we bored them through and through and they kept up a hot running fight for m hour and a half. It was a good thing for us that the Oregon was there. She speedily tell in behind us and raced along at ahou» I’s knots. “We hud the Vizcaya on the quarter and the Cristobal Colon on our bow until the former was forced to run ashore, perforated with five-inch and eight-inch shells. There was not a (liirteen in°h shell i i hbr, which makes it look as if the Brooklyn and Oregon did the work. The mor al effect of the Oregon was good, however, jind I think it wa< ‘.be way she k'pt up that sc tret I the Cristobal Coion »uto surrender while it was still an even chance whether she would getaway cr not. After the battle was over her captain begged to be allow ed to come aboard to satisfy himse'f with his own eyes th we were not a battleship. “Captain Evans was aboard, blowing to the commodore about how the lowa sank two destroy ers and two cruisers. He was about to go on and claim the other two cruisers as his vic tims when the commodore dryly remarked that he wis sorry the Brooklyn didn’t get into it,’ and ‘that she didn’t fire a shot.’ You should have seen ‘Fighting Bob’ shut up. This incident is characteristic of both men. Here’s the way we sing it now: Where wan Sampson when the fleet came ou ? Where was he, and what was he about? Come, iny little man. ell me if you can. Where Sa-npion when the fleet came out? “You know the New York didn’t fire a shot except ata few old hulks chat had hauled down their flags , and carpe boiling up to the Colon about an hour af ter she had surrendered to com modore Schley. There is.very bitter feeling between the New York and Brooklyn.e, They are very jealous of us, and we hate them for the petty meannesses they haye shown usever since they came down here. There will be a free’for all fight when the crews get ashore together, with a little fire water inside. We are all growing Schley boards; they will be all tile tag® when we strike NeW York.’’ ■ t " i ■ e.»‘>,w»wr LOCfil HAPPENINGS. i , -i Escaped —Dau Smith colored, escaped fr m the city chnir.g>ng M<m ay and has nod apprehended.
