How Spain Lost Her Vizcaya Explodes in Fierce Sea Battle
Eyewitness accounts describe the Vizcaya being struck by American shells and torpedoes, its starboard side blown out, and fires raging as survivors, including Admiral Cervera, jump into the sea. Lt. Antonio Mangenper recounts the exchange with the Iowa, Brooklyn, and the cruiser Providence, noting fiercest fighting and the Vizcaya’s final destruction. The tale shifts to the Cristobal Colon chase, praising Commodore Schley’s fleet maneuvers and contrasting scarce casualties on the Colon with the fiery destruction aboard Vizcaya and Maria Teresa. The account ends with a local ad for One Minute Cough Cure.
