O'Donnell Gilbride Co Rewards for Cushing Daring Feat
The navy keeps striving to free Hobson at Santiago but sees no safe path until the town is captured. Spaniards justify refusing exchange by Hobson's enhanced view of fortifications. Three Winslow sailors gain warrant ranks for Cardenas actions while Lieut Bernadou remains unrewarded due to lack of direct recommendation from a superior officer. Admiral Sampson is cited as the former approving authority.
