Once again have the Americans scored a cheap victory, for the telegram states that they did not lose a single ship, and this is most likely due to their superior marksmanship, which stood them | in such god stead at Cavite on May 1st. Reuler appears to have received three separate secounts, the first of which, stating that Admiral SAMPSON entered Santiago harbour is evidently erroneous, while the two latter taken together probably show what really took place. That the Spaniards should run their ships ashore rather than face the overwhelming American force is but natural, and having run them ashore they would doubtless set fire to them in order to keep them from falling into the hands of the enemy.
