Headquarters, Naval Militia, N. Y., 31 Nassau Street, New York, October loth, 1898. The Adjutant-General, General Headquarters, Albany, New York. Sir: — I have the honor to submit the following report on the ■ Naval Militia d^tring the war with Spain: The operations of the State naval forces were divided into two periods — one of preparation, and one of active service — and into two officially distinct duties, that in the Navy proper, and that in the Auxiliary Naval Force. I. About the first of March, the Naval Militia of New York con- sisted of forty-nine officers and five hundred and four men. On March 26th, orders were received from General Headquarters, to call for vol- unteers to proceed to League Island, Pa. , to man the monitors ' ' Jason " and " Nahant." On March 31st, the men were ready to proceed; but the detail for the " Nahant" did not leave until April 12th, as the vessel was not in condition, until that date, to be put into com- mission. During the early days of April, however. Commander Duncan, and other officers and men, had gone to League Island, to \help push the work on the monitors. The " Nahant " arrived at New York on April 17th, manned by the First Naval Battalion (with the exception of her commanding officer, Lieut. C. S. Richman, U. S. N.). This vessel was the first of all the monitors ready for actual coast protection. The officers and men were complimented by the Com- mandant of the Navy Yard for prompt and efficient work, and Commander Duncan merits the thanks of the State for his intelligent energy during the whole period of preparation of the First Naval Battalion for service afloat. Lieut. R. J. Beach, and the crew, of the Second Naval Battalion, who were fitting out the " Jason," also did their duty well; but that ship was delayed at League Island through no fault of the Naval Militia. On March 31st, you informed me that the Honorable Secretary of the Navy had requested the Governor to enlist the Naval Militia to its full strength. Recruiting was started, and no difficulty was experienced in obtaining men; uniforms and equipments were supplied to them, by the State authorities, with extreme promptness, and the force increased to i,o6S officers and men. On the day of the arrival of the " Nahant " at New York, April 17th, the First Naval Battalion was called upon to furnish a crew for another vessel, the " Yankee." The orders were obeyed, and one hundred and fifty-five men were ready within six hours. On the following day, preparatory orders were received to man the U. S. Signal Stations at Montauk Point, Quogue, and Fire Island. Lieut. F. B. Anderson had previously been in communica- tion with Capt. C. F. Goodrich, U. S. N.,and had made preliminary contracts for equipment and stores for all the Atlantic coast. Lieut. Anderson's forethought and preparation left little to be done, and the stations were manned, under orders from Washington, on April 23d, this State being the first to report. On April 22d an increase of fifty-four petty officers and men of the First Naval Battalion was authorized, in order to properly man the engine-room of the " Yankee." Through the untiring efforts of Engineer Lieut. -Comdr. A. B. Fry, they were at once enlisted, and •on the following day the "Yankee's" crew was ordered on board the " New Hampshire" for duty. On April 26th her complement ■was again increased by seventy men. On April 28th the "Yan- kee's " crew was mustered into the Navy. Prior to this date the Honorable Assistant Secretary of the Navy had suggested the propriety of recruiting a torpedo and elec- trical division. I therefore obtained authority from you on April a5th to create such an organization, to be known as the First Sepa- rate Naval Division, and its formation was at once begun ; the com- mand was given to Lieut. W. H. Weimorc, who showed great energy and ability in perfecting the division. A large portion of its men entered the Navy as telegraphers and signalmen, while some were assigned to cruising vessels. On April 29th the crew of the "Nahant" was mustered into the Navy. On April 30th Lieut. -C\>nulr. R. S. Sloan was appointed on the Staff of the Captain, and until June 17th, when he entered the Navy, rendered most loyal and able assistance in helping to organ- ize the .\uxiliary Naval Force. On April 39th and 31st, at the request of Rear Admiral Henry Erben, U. S. N., in charge of the Coast Defence System of the United States, I sent details to Willets Point, by your authority, to assist in protecting the mine fields, as Admiral Erben had no one to fulfil this duty. These men were volunteers, and it is respectfully suggested that the General Government be asked to defray the expense incident thereto. On May 7th the Governor ordered a patrol of the lower bay and of Throggs Neck, to consist of eight tugs, one steam launch, and a yacht (kindly loaned by Mr. Alfred Carr), the General Government not having sufficient vessels in this district to take care of the mine fields, and protect incoming and outgoing commerce. Seventeen officers and 112 men of the Second Naval Battalion, ably commanded by Lieut. Commander R. P, Forshew, performed this duty in a most creditable manner for ten days, the State assuming the expense of the tugs and the pay of the men. I would respectfully call your attention to the large amount of work done by the Naval Militia during the preceding dates; the total interval being less than a month. The organization was doubled in strength : over four hundred recruits were fully equipped and uniformed: three large naval vessels were manned and officered; signal stations were established, and the commerce of the harbor of New York protected for ten days. These labors were accomplished by the State. Our organizations were not recog- nized, as such, by the Navy Department; both officers and men laboring as individuals without pay from the Government. They were compelled to stand examinations of a high standard, and while adjusting their business affairs had no promise that they would be given a reward for their patriotic self-sacrifice. As one of the many instances of that self-sacrifice, the " Nahant's " crew served from about the ist of April to the 29th of that month before it was mustered into the Navy, and certain of the officers who had been on board the vessel from the time she left League Island did not receive their orders to the monitor until June 14th. Again, the ra- tions for the Coast Signal Service had to be supplied by the State, for many days, after the men were on their stations. These facts are mentioned not in criticism of the past, but to prevent a repeti- tion of such errors in future war, and to show the preparedness of the Military Department under your charge. The Second Naval Battalion is especially worthy of commenda- tion for its activity in recruiting and its steadfastness to duty. It was a new organization without suitable headquarters, had to over- come many obstacles incident to novel conditions, and there was great uncertainty as to whether its men would be accepted by the Government. I respectfully urge that the Borough of Brooklyn be requested to provide the Second Naval Battalion with a proper ar- mory on the water front at the earliest possible date. On May 14th the Navy Department reported that the monitor " Jason " was ready for sea. Seven officers and sixty-five men from the Second Naval Battalion, and one officer and ten men from the Second Separate Naval Division left the following day to man that vessel at League Island. She arrived at New York on May 23d; thence proceeded to Fisher's Island Sound, and remained near that locality until the close of the war. II. Work of the Auxili.\ry N.\v.\l Force.* Up to this time only about one-half of the Naval Militia had been called into war service, and little had been done, except by the Coast Signal office in Washington, to place the organization in the field of duty for which it had been especially trained. Through the persistent and intelligent efforts of Capt. H. L. Satterlee, assisted by Lieut. Aaron Vanderbilt, Congress had passed, in June, a law creating an Auxiliary Naval Force, to consist of members of the Naval Militias of the states, and other persons; and on June 14th the U. S. S. "New Hampshire" was transferred to the Navy. From that date to the close of the war she was used as a receiv- ing ship and for the headquarters of the Third District. Capt. John R. Bartlett, U. S. N., was appointed chief of the U. S. Auxiliary Naval Force, and all the states are indebted to him for his appreciation of the proper sphere of the Naval Militia, and for his untiring efforts in its behalf. The appendices show that up to this date only 521 of the Naval Militia had entered the Navy. The Second Separate Naval Division of Rochester had not been recognized by the Navy Department ; although a recruiting office had been opened at Buffalo. The men of this Division had been mustering daily at their armory, but no orders were received from Washington. At my request Captain Bartlett succeeded in getting recognition for this organization, and 64 officers and men were allowed to enlist. Lieut. Walbridgc and his division accepted any duty on any ship or station. On July 5th I had the honor of receiving a commission as Lieut. -Comdr, U. S. Navy, and on July 8th was ordered as Assist- ant to Chief, U. S. Auxiliary Naval Force, in charge of the Third District. * The Auxiliary N.ival Force, altliough an addition to the navy, was part of the regular service. Tiie ofTicers received the same commissions as other volunteers and the men were enlisted into the United .States Navy. The District extended from Newport, R. I., to Seabright, N. J., and included the following vessels : New Hampshire, Lieut. -Comdr. J.W. Miller, Commanding. Nahant, Lieut. E. M. Harmon, Commanding. Jason, Lieut. Gardiner I. Jones, (*) Commanding. Aileen, Lieut. W. R. Addicks and Lieut. W. H. Stayton, Commanding. Freelance, Lieut. T. C. Zerega, Commanding. Elfrida, Lieut. (J. G.) M. A. Orlopp, Commanding. Enquirer, Lieut. W. H. Stayton, Commanding. Huntress, Lieuts. F. Parker (*) and W. R. Addicks, (*) Commanding. Restless, Lieut. A. H. Day, (*) Commanding. Kanawha, Lieut. F. F. Fletcher, (*) Commanding. Sylvia, Lieut. W. G. Ford, Commanding. Viking, Cadet B. B. Wygant, (*) Commanding. The "Kanawha," "Sylvia" and "Viking" were almost imme- diately detached and sent to Cuba. The " New Hampshire " became a school of instruction, and the cutters supplied by the State were useful in exercising boat crews for " distant service." Lieutenant R. P. Forshew rendered valuable service as executive officer of the " New Hampshire." When I took command of the District, all the above vessels, except the " New Hampshire " and the two monitors, were under repairs at the New York Navy Yard, but through the exertions of their officers five of them were on their stations by July 15th. The duty assigned was to protect the mine fields at Sandy Hook, the Narrows, and Throgg's Neck, and to patrol the entrance to New York Harbor. The importance of this duty was self-evident, the vessels were scouts to announce the approach of the foreign foe, but more especially were they necessary for the guidance of domes- tic and deep-sea vessels through the intricate mine fields. The commerce of the great port of New York needed protection at every moment, while the mines had to be maintained intact, ready for instant use. The officers assigned to these vessels required, in addition to seaman-like qualifications, an intimate knowledge of in- land waters, as well as decision of character to properly enforce the harbor regulations, and to deal with the merchantmen. The Cap- (*) Lieuts. Addicks and Jones belonged to the Massachusetts Naval Militia; Lieut. F. Parker and Lieut. Day, to the Connecticut Militia; Lieut. Fletcher and Cadet Wygant to the Regular Navy. 8 tains of the patrol boats fulfilled these requisites, and performed their duty with a thoroughness which was highly commendable. Many of the officers in addition to their cruises along shore during the previous years, while in the Naval Militia had had ten days' experience from May 7th to May 17th in the service, when the Governor had ordered them to tugs patrolling the same mine fields. About the end of July, the danger from an enemy's fleet having disappeared, the army removed most of the mines, and on July 30th, I proceeded from New York with the " Elfrida," "Freelance," " Aileen " and " Restless " for a cruise of instruction through Long Island Sound; the " Huntress " joining the squadron on August 2d. It was a most valuable experience for all. The squadron was kept at close distance most of the time, and the various commanders vied with one another in perfecting fleet evolutions ; the target prac- tice was fair, and the night attacks at Fishers Island showed that the men were alert, and could be soon taught to appreciate war con- ditions. The vessels were handled well, especially in going in and out of harbors at night. The squadron returned to New York on August 9th. The next service performed by the Naval Militia, composing the Auxiliary Naval Force, was the patrol work at Montauk Point. On August nth the "Aileen," Lieut. W. H. Stayton commanding, was sent to Fort Pond Bay to report to Passed Asst.-Surg. Macgru- der, U. S. Quarantine Hospital Service, and on August 14th I arrived there on the " Restless." The proper courtesies were ex- changed with the army officials on shore. Subsequently, on August 24th, the " Restless " was relieved by the "Elfrida." Relative to the duty performed at Montauk, I quote from the excellent report of Lieutenant Stayton submitted to me. "The work was of various characters, as follows : " I. Establishing Quarantine Grounds. After consultation with Surgeon Macgruder, the quarantine grounds were selected and buoyed off just to the westward of Rocky Point. All incoming transports, numbering more than thirty, were met and conducted to their anchorage by the auxiliary vessels. The transport fleet was kept anchored in proper and convenient formation, the loaded transports nearer the harbor, and those unloaded, but still in quar- antine, well to the westward. Instructions were given and all prep- arations made for conducting the transports to safe anchorages in the event of a blow. " 2. Maintaining Quarantine Regulations. Both by day and night the transports were prevented from communicating with other vessels or with the shore. This required active service, as many as thirty or forty vessels having been met and warned daily. "3- Establishing and Maintaining Harbor Regulations. After consultation with Surgeon Macgruder and the Transportation De- partment of the Army, regulations upon this subject were estab- lished and enforced. There were but two wharves, one used for quarantine and the other for general purposes. All incoming ves- sels were stopped and directed to the proper wharf. They were required to anchor in proper formation at convenient points until the facilities for landing permitted the vessel to go to the wharf, due regard being paid to seeing that troops and perishable stores were first landed. "4. Attending to the Landing of Troops. The vessels were in constant attendance and rendered assistance when requested, and whenever the service could be performed without danger of infec- tion. "5. Carrying Stores to Transports. Many transports came in short of stores, provisions and medicines. We supplied them with army. Red Cross and stores received from individual contributions. We also met each incoming transport, ascertained the needs of those whose troops could not at once disembark, and to the best of our ability supplied them. The patrol vessels also performed all possible service for the Red Cross, purchasing, carrying and distrib- uting stores necessary for the immediate relief of the sick. "Various miscellaneous services were also performed, such as transporting sick officers, taking the convalescents out for air; car- rying general officers to places they desired to visit officially; taking dispatches to and from men-of-war in quarantine. This latter item, while seemingly unimportant, resulted in getting the 'St. Paul' and ' Harvard ' away from Fort Pond Bay sooner than they would otherwise have left. Telegrams could not be sent on board the ves- sels, and would have remained at the office for days. We took the telegrams, opened them, and delivered them by megaphone, saving many days charter price of the American liners. "In conclusion, I have the honor to report the very valuable services of Surgeon J. C. MacEvittt of the 'Jason,' who went ashore, and, during that vessel's stay, performed arduous and valu- ble service in charge of a ward in the hospital. Maj.-Gen. Young, U. S. A., requested me to specially mention Surgeon MacEvitt's services and requests your commendation thereof. Lieut. Jones was indefatigable in his efforts to relieve the sick, and was very suc- cessful. I trust you will commend him for his zeal, faithfulness, and humanity. A better estimate can be made of the extent of the services of the patrol fleet at Fort Pond Bay, when it is mentioned that the vessels averaged more than eighteen hours per day under way." In drawing your attention to the excellent service of Surgeon MacEvitt and Lieut. Jones, mentioned by Lieut. Stayton, I would state that Lieut. Stayton's indefatigable work at Fort Pond Bay was worthy of the highest praise. He was ably assisted by Lieut. "M. A. Orlopp, commanding the "Elfrida," and subsequently by Lieut. T. C. Zerega, who relieved Lieut. Orlopp. About the end of August the Au.\iliary Fleet was put out of com- mission, and the monitors returned to League Island. Prior to this, however, the efficiency of the Naval Militia had been further tested, when, on July i6th, the cruiser "Buffalo" and the transport "Rainbow" were ordered to New York from Norfolk. No regular officers were at the time available. Lieut. W. H. Stayton was ordered to command the former vessel, and Lieut. E. N. Harmon the latter. Lieut. R. P. Forshew, Ensigns E. N. Walbridge, F. P. Hill and S. L. Crossing joined the "Buffalo," and Ensign E. N. Robinson the "Rainbow." This was the first instance when vessels of large tonnage had been completely officered by the Naval Militia. The work was creditably performed ; the vessels made quick passages to New York, and the officers were complimented on the manner in which the ships were handled. While the New York Signal Stations were not officially under the charge of the commanding officer of the Third District, of the Au.xiliary Naval Force, their headquarters were on board the " New Hampshire," and Capt. Bartlett was also Chief of that service. Through his courtesy, I had ample opportunities of judging how its duties were performed. Lieut. H. L. Satterlee (formerly captain on the Governor's Staff) and Lieuts. F. B. Anderson and E. C. Weeks, and Assistant-Paymaster W. L. Sawyer, were on the staff of Capt. Bartlett at Washington, while Lieut. Alexander Duane and Ensign W. H. Gunning were stationed at New York. Capt. Bartlett repeatedly informed me that these officers performed most intelligent and loyal duty. The outlying stations at Montauk, Quogue and Fire Island were in charge of petty officers, who were left greatly to their own dis- cretion at remote points, and fulfilled the requirements of the posi- tions to the satisfaction of the Navy Department. All the duties mentioned under this caption, namely, on board monitors, converted yachts, and in the Coast Signal Service, were those to which the State had trained its Naval Militia, under sugges- tions from Washington. HI. The Cruise of the U. S. S. "Y.\nkee." It should be remembered that, during April, current opinion, as expressed in many newspapers, still maintained that the " Maine " had been blown up by an interior explosion, and that the modern II battleship was an intricate piece of mechanism, which might prove most disastrous to its crew in time of action. Consequently, the Navy found it extremely difficult to obtain recruits, and called upon the Naval Militia to man sea-going vessels. New York volunteered for the " Yankee," and this merchant vessel was converted into a man-of-war and placed on her station in eleven days after her crew was mustered into the Navy. The ** Yankee " was the first of her type to be ready for sea; her crew was mustered into the Navy twelve days before any National Guard organization entered the Army from this State. She was the first vessel manned by Naval Militiamen to be under fire ; the last ship to leave action at the Santiago battle of June 6th ; and the naval force of New York was in an engagement before any other volunteer organization of the United States. The thanks of New York are due to Commander W. H. Brown- son, U. S. N.. for his qualities as a fair and just commanding officer, and for the opportunity he gave the " Yankee's " men to show the excellent gunnery which won the applause of Sampson's fleet. Their previous training had been confined to coast-defence exercise, but they soon mastered ship technicalities, and left the Navy, on September 2d, with an unexcelled record, amid the plaudits of their fellow-citizens. Appendix K is the report of Com- mander Duncan, and gives the details of the "Yankee's " cruise. IV. The Lessons to be Derived from the War. 1. The general line of policy pursued by this State during the past should not be changed. The personnel of the Naval Militia is well fitted to defend the immediate coast of the State. If it be de- sired to perfect the officers and men for deep-sea duty, the general government must provide suitable tools, in the way of modern ships. This has been recommended by me in many annual reports. 2. If the general government provides these ships, it would naturally expect a high standard of excellence both in officers and men. This standard can be obtained by the enactment of a Na- tional Naval Reserve Law. All naval militiamen who pass the examinations should belong to the Naval Reserve. 3. There would thus exist two forces, progressing together towards the perfection set by the Navy ; that of the State, sufficient in the future, as in the past, to protect its own harbors ; that of the government, to form in time of war its auxiliary naval force. The former to be an organization. The latter a collection of individuals, professionally developed from the State force and from the merchant marine. 4- The National Naval Reserve should have its own ranks and ratings, and they should be distinct from those of the Navy. No one should be entitled to enter the Navy as an officer in time of war unless he has served in the Naval Reserve. All officers and men of the Naval Militias, who served in the late war, should be eligible for the Reserve: their ranks and ratings to be determined by a standard Government examination. 5. The general government should standardize the Naval Militia of the various States, by refusing to give arms or equipments unless a certain minimum of e.xcellence was reached. The scope of examinations for entrance to the Naval Reserve should be published, and a certain proportion of the Naval Militiamen of each State should have passed it before any aid was supplied by Congress. A special examination should be given to men wishing to join the Signal Service. Some of our best officers were not able to enter the Navy, although experts in the branch which the Navy Department had encouraged. The country thus lost the services of many of our most enthusiastic and intelligent rank and file, for the reason that they could not pass the strict requirements of an ensign's or lieuten- ant's examination. Others, who were the first to volunteer, received commis- sions far below their deserts. The case of Lieut. S. D. Greene was especially noticeable. He graduated with the highest honors at the Naval Academy, and had served in the Naval Militia of the State since it was organized. Notwithstanding this record he was given a commission as junior lieutenant on board the " Yankee; " the reasons assigned by the Department being that the complement of that ship permitted no higher rank, and that certain members of his class were only junior lieutenants. Many non-grad- uates, who held lower positions in several different states, and who subsequently entered the navy, were given higher grades. The in- ference from the department's ruling would naturally be that it is a detriment to graduate as a "star" at the Naval Academy, and to promptly offer one's services to the country. Such examples of in- justice can under a proper system be avoided in the future. 6. The experience of the war has shown that certain minor changes should be made, such as the following: Uniform of enlisted men should be that of the Navy, as far as material is concerned, and similar in design to the regulars, with the addition of a suitable State and organization distinguishing mark, which can be removed, if necessary, in time of war. The uniform should be purchased from the Navy, thereby saving a large expense to the State. Paymasters should be bonded, and their duties should be the same as those in 13 the regular service. The physical examination should be that of the Navy. 7. Although superficially not germane to this report, I have considered it my duty to dwell upon the subject of Federal and State relationship, as the question will undoubtedly be brought up in official quarters at Washington. The attempt may be made to centralize all military and naval power at the Capital, and to mini- mize the service which the volunteers have rendered the country. Certain members of the Naval Militia are in favor of this proposi- tion, but others who have also seen duty in the Navy still believe most firmly that the nine years of effort spent in building up the State naval forces have been productive of excellent results, even when tested by service and a war, for which the whole country was but partially prepared. They feel positive that the quick patriotic response of the Naval Militia to every call made upon it, that the sentiment developed for the Navy by those who had long interested themselves in marine study, far outweighed any technical short-comings, which were quickly obliterated after a few weeks' service afloat. I, therefore, respectfully suggest that the State of New York continue its generous support to the Naval Militia, and that it urge upon Congress the immediate organization of a National Naval Re- serve on the plan outlined above, not to take the place of the pres- ent State force, but to supplement it. There will thus still exist local organizations as schools for naval education ; continuing the coast defense training until the individual members can graduate into a national corps. Such a process of evolution accords more with the spirit of our institutions rather than that revolutionary one which centers all power in the general government; for the govern- ment works slowly, and at a distance, in times of peace; and does not always feel the pulse of the people who must naturally be relied upon to furnish volunteers in time of war. In addition to the persons previously mentioned in this report, thanks are due to the Red Cross Society and to the Naval Reserve Association for hospital stores and supplies, and to the Sons of the Revolution for colors presented. Passed Assistant Surgeon J. S. King, and Assistant Pay- master A. R. Pardington were most faithful and zealous in the performance of the duties of their Departments. Mention should also be made of those officers who volunteered and who were not accepted by the Navy, although they were well fitted for coast defence duty. Actuated by the highest motives of patriotism and without official reward, they performed many days of unostentatious service at a time when certain civilians, manifestly 14 unfit for government positions, were clamoring for high military place and reward. The officers of the Naval Militia of this State, with one exception, stood by their men and received junior commis- sions, or not, as their country saw fit to bestow. The lesson thus set should not be forgotten. Respectfully, J. W. Miller, Captain, N.

Miller, Commanding Naval Militia, New York. Sir: I beg to submit my report of the work performed by the detail, from the First Naval Battalion of New York on the U. S. S. " Yankee." I received orders on April 23d to send a detail of officers and men to the Navy Yard, New York, who were willing to volunteer for duty on the "Yankee," and on April 26th sent the detail as ordered. The men all enlisted, and the officers passed their examinations and were duly commissioned, having been granted leave of absence by the Commander-in-Chief, New York State. The crew of the " Yankee," with the exception of the command- ing officer, executive officer and navigator, was entirely composed of men furnished by the First Naval Battalion of New York. The only casualties occurring were the death of Landsman T. C. Le Valley from appendicitis at the hospital, Key West, after an operation had been performed by the surgeons at the hospital, and the wounding of Landsman S. P. Kennedy in an engagement with a Spanish gunboat at Cienfuegos, June 17th. The latter was trans- ferred to the hospital ship " Solace," and has recovered. When the ship's company were paid off at Philadelphia, September 2d, 1898, there was no one on the sick list, and the battalion marched across to the " New Hampshire " with 100 per cent, present, which of itself shows the care and attention that was paid to the health and com- fort of the men by the regular officers in charge of the ship. I inclose abstract of the log of the "Yankee." We joined the ship May 6th, and left the yard May 9th, and proceeded to sea May nth, and from that time on were continuously on duty on the Northern Patrol until May 29th, when she sailed from New York for Cuba, and from that date until the ship arrived in New York August 28th we were actively engaged in Cuban waters. I am glad to report that during the whole cruise there were no serious infractions of regulations, and nothing but very light punish- ments were found necessary by the commanding officer of the 56 "Yankee." When the men first went aboard the " Yankee " they were absolutely unaccustomed to sea life and to looking after them- selves in the messes or elsewhere, and the exigencies of the service were such that they were sent on a ship hurriedly and incompletely fitted out, and the day after leaving the Navy Yard the ship went to sea on patrol duty, which kept the ship constantly at sea, and gave no chance for the usual shaking down. All this made it very hard on the crew, and it took, longer for them to get in shape. As to handling the battery, that was picked up at once, and the men were always ready and keen at any time to jump to their guns. While in Southern waters they were called on to coal ship several times night and day, which was work of a very trying character, and work which they never had been called on before to do, but it was done without any complaints, irrespective of time or temperature, and to the best of their ability. The only criticism that has been made of the officers and crew was the fact that they were not seagoing men, and in this respect I would state that in January last I was unofficially in Washington, and while there called at the Navy Department and asked if they could tell me, supposing we had trouble with Spain, what the men of the First Naval Battalion, New York, would be required to do. I was told that we would be on the second line of defense, and I endeavored to get ready on that line. When the war did break out I was ordered, on very short notice, to furnish a crew for the U. S. S. " Nahant " and U. S. S. " Yankee," besides manning the signal sta- tions. These crews were furnished when required. I respectfully suggest that if the Naval Militia, of New York State, is expected to furnish full crews for ships in times of war, the United States Govern- ment should supply them with a seagoing vessel, capable of berthing at least one hundred men, and mounting a few modern rapid-fire guns, which vessel could be taken out on short cruises in summer, and would give the officers and men a chance to familiarize themselves in time of peace with the duties they would be called on to perform in time of war. In conclusion, I beg to state that the officers and men of the First Naval Battalion, New York, have responded to every call of the Government, have performed all the duties that were required of them cheerfully and to the best of their ability. Very respectfully, W. B. Duncan, Jr., Commander. 57 Extract of Log of the U. S. S. " Yankee." April 14th, 1S98: The U.S. S. "Yankee," formerly the Morgan liner " El Norte," was placed in commission in the Brooklyn Navy Yard. April 19th: Comdr. Williard H. Brownson joined the "Yankee" and took command of her. May 6th: Naval Militia joined the ship, and commenced taking on ammunition and stores. May 8th: United States Marine Guard came aboard under the command of Lieutenant Pendleton. May 9th: The "Yankee " left the Navy Yard and proceeded to anchorage off Tompkinsville, where we remained until May nth: Proceeded to Provincetown, Mass., arriving there on the evening of the same day. That night received orders to proceed with the U. S. S. " Columbia, "to the vicinity of Block Island, and in company with that vessel to establish a patrol from Block Island to Henlopen. This duty we performed in conjunction with the " Columbia," for a portion of the time, and over the whole route from Block Island to Henlopen for the remainder of the time until May 26th: Proceeded to New York for coal. The orders under which we were acting, while on patrol duty, made it necessary for us to report every day, either at Block Island or Henlopen. In order to accomplish this, it was necessary for us to run at a high rate of speed, day and night, generally through thick and foggy weather. At night we were not allowed to show any lights or sound the whistle, so that this duty was a particularly dangerous one. This latter fact is evidenced by the accident the "Columbia" met with, shortly after we had returned to New York, when the British tramp ran into her, ramming a large hole in her side and sinking the Englishman. Sunday, May 29th, 1898: Sailed from New York, passing Sandy Hook at 5.00 p. M. ; steamed to the southward. Monday, May 30th: While at target practice. Corporal John James Murray was killed, and Private Jesse Fuller, both of the Marine Guard, was wounded by an accident at the forward-port six-pounder, due to an unusually long hang-fire, with the English cordite. At sunset Corporal Murray was buried at sea with appro- priate ceremonies. Thursday, June 2d: Arrived at Mole St. Nicholas at 5.30 p. m., and sighted in the dusk two suspicious steamers, when we cleared ship for action and steamed slowly into the harbor, the two suspi- cious steamers turning out to be the " St. Louis "and the collier " Justin." We all left the Mole that night. 58 Friday, June 3d : Arrived at Santiago early in the morning, the ** Justin " coming in after us. We found the fleet off Santiago de Cuba to consist of the following: The flagship "New York," " Brooklyn," " Iowa," " Massachusetts," " Oregon," " Texas, " New Orleans," " Dolphin," " Mayflower," " St. Louis," " Porter," " Marblehead " and despatch boats. We at once reported to the flagship and took up our position with the fleet. On Friday, June 3d, in the night about 11 P. M., the " New Orleans " being stationed next to us, sent up three red rockets, and signalled that she had seen a torpedo boat putting off from the harbor. The " New Orleans" at once started blazing away at the torpedo boat, and the " Yankee " quickly followed suit ; signals were sent up summoning the entire fleet, and in a few minutes the whole squadron was bearing down upon the '* New Orleans " and '* Yankee," and amidst a terrific bombardment the torpedo boat disappeared ; on Saturday morning the " Porter " picked up two expended torpedo tubes. Saturday, June 4th : In the afternoon we received a signal from the flagship to " Clear ship for action," and to take up our position preparatory to bombarding the forts ; we at once prepared to engage the enemy, the " Yankee " having the best position nearest the forts and the shore. When close inland we discovered a small battery, and the Captain, Commander Brownson, signalled to the flagship for permission to bombard the fort near the railway trestle and reduce it, but the Admiral signalled back, "You may not re- duce the forts," much to the disgust of all the officers and crew. About 5 P. M. the Admiral signalled that the forts were not to be attacked to-day, and the fleet retired, each ship resuming its original position. Sunday, June 5th: Lying in our position with the fleet. Monday, June 6th : At 5 A. M. all hands were called, and at 7.30 the bombardment of the forts and batteries of Santiago de Cuba commenced. The " New York " was nearest the shore, and next to her and between her and the "New Orleans" the " Yankee" took up her position. The bombardment lasted three hours, during which time all the batteries were silenced. During the latter part of the bombardment the " Yankee " had the closest position to the batteries and shore. The "Yankee" and "New Orleans" also silenced the small battery near the railway trestle. About noon the " Dolphin " noticed a train running along the railway near the coast, and promptly opened fire on the train with its small guns, killing, it is reported, 112 men, and tearing up a great deal of the track. The "Yankee" was the last ship to retire from the bom- bardment. 59 Tuesday, June 7th : The "Yankee," "St. Louis" and "Marble- head " all sailed for Guantanamo, or Fort Cumberland, arriving there about 5 in the morning, when all hands were called, and we at once started in bombarding a block-house and small village near the entrance of the harbor ; the block-house was entirely destroyed, as was the village, by the " Yankee," and we, (the " Marblehead " and "Yankee,") then proceeded further up the harbor, until we sighted a Spanish gunboat, at which we took several shots, but were unable to hit her, owing to the fact that she retired behind the fort ; we then sent several shots into the fort, and returned to the " St. Louis," which had been left at the entrance of the harbor to cut the cables. This she succeeded in doing, cutting both cables, the "Marblehead " cutting the third and a smaller one; the result being that Santiago de Cuba is now without cable connection of any kind, and is unable to communicate either by mail or cable with Spain or the rest of the world. At 10 P. M. the "Yankee" sailed for Santiago de Cuba, arriving there early Thursday, June 9th : Left Santiago de Cuba about midnight of Wednesday, arriving at Mole St. Nicholas at noon ; on the way we overhauled two steamers — one turning out to be the " Norse," a Norwegian steamer, and the other the " Ely," an Englishman. We fired a blank shot from out forward six-pounder to bring these vessels to. The papers of both were examined and found to be correct. A bumboat came alongside from the Mole, and we were able to buy oranges, alligator pears, and other fruit. Heat terrific. The troops of the fort at the Mole were parading in our honor. We left the Mole about 7 P. M., and at 10 P. M. sighted a light off our port bow ; later on more lights were discovered, one of them being a very powerful search light ; and it was supposed that we had run across the Spanish fleet. We put on full steam and event- ually succeeded in getting away from the fleet and arriving safely at Santiago de Cuba early. Friday, June loth : We reported our experience to the Admiral, and a boat was sent ashore to inquire definitely whether the Cervera fleet was still in the harbor. We left Santiago at noon and arrived at Port Antonio, Jamaica, at 7 P. M., leaving there Saturday, June nth, at i A. M., and arriving at Montego Bay, Jamaica, at 8 in the morning. We found in the harbor the English cruiser " Indefatigable," and our Captain went on board, later in the day Captain Primrose returning the visit. Sunday, June 12th: Left Montego Bay Saturday evening, arriving at Santiago de Cuba early Sunday morning. At noon to-day we sailed from Santiago and proceeded along the southern coast of Cuba in search of the Spanish steamer " Purissima Con- ception," arriving at Cienfuegos. 6o Monday, June 13th, in the morning: At 1.15 P. M, we sighted a steamer near the entrance to the harbor, which proved to be a gunboat, apparently coming out of the harbor to capture what she thought to be an American merchantman ; we trained our guns aft to keep up the illusion, and started for her at full speed. As soon as we were close enough to her we opened fire upon her, which she immediately returned with good aim ; the forts and batteries at the harbor also opened on us, the shells from both the forts and the gunboat falling close around us. Another boat, a smaller one, at this time came out of the harbor and assisted the first gunboat and forts ; eventualjly we succeeded in driving both the enemy's boats into the harbor after a hard fight, and we ourselves retired to a safe distance. During the engagement Landsman Kennedy was seriously wounded in the left shoulder. We dropped several shells into the forts, exploding a magazine. We afterwards learned from the Cubans that we had hit the gunboat, killing four men and wounding seven, and the boat itself had to be beached as soon as it got to the river. Tuesday, June 14th: Sighted a man-of-war coming out of the harbor; immediately cleared ship for action, and gave chase; she turned out to be the German cruiser "Geira"; we spoke her, and she proceeded on her way. Returned to Cienfuegos, and continued the blockade of the fort. Wednesday, June 15th: Still oft" Cienfuegos watching for Span- ish merchantman; but as she did not put in an appearance by noon, we started at i P.M. for Santiago de Cuba, arriving there Thursday, June i6th, at 1.30 P.M., too late for the bombard- ment of the forts, which had taken place earlier in the day. The "Vesuvius" having been successful in dropping several dynamite shells into one of the batteries, creating great damage. Friday, June 17th: Left Santiago at 11 A.M. for Guantanamo, where we arrived at 2.30 P.M., finding in the harbor the " Oregon," " Dolphin," "St. Paul," the " Solace," and several other American ships. The American flag flying over an encampment occupied by the marines, and the Cuban flag flying over the village destroyed by us on our last visit there. Kennedy, Whitman and Bogert were transfer! ed to the " Solace," the hospital ship. Saturday, June i8th: Coaled all Friday night and Saturday at Guantanamo, where we were joined by the " St. Paul," the " New York," and other ships. Left here 6 P.AL bound for Cienfuegos. Sunday, June 19th: En route for Cienfuegos. Overhauled and boarded the British schooner " Union," bound from Montego Bay to Trinidad, Cuba. A small fire was discovered in one of our bunkers, which was e.xtinguished. Overhauled a Norwegian bark, and also 6i overhauled and boarded the British steamer ** Adula," of the Atlas Line, with a number of Spanish refugees from Cienfuegos, bound for Kingston, Jamaica. Arrived off Cienfuegos in the evening. Monday, June 20th: During the night we arrived off Casilda harbor and discovered a steamer in the harbor; also a dismantled gunboat. We opened fire on the steamer at 9.30 A.M., and she came out for a short time, rapidly retreating back to the harbor again under our fire; a small gunboat also came out and fired at us without effect; we shelled the fort with shrapnel and did some damage, but, as we were unable to enter the harbor we could not destroy either the gunboat or steamer. We ceased firing at 12.30. Tuesday, June 21st: Whilst coasting along the coast to the west of Cienfuegos, about noon, we saw a small party of Cubans, and sent a boat ashore to communicate with them. The boat brought back three of their leaders, one of them being the Governor of Man- tanzas, Col. E. V. Zegueira, and we supplied them with provis- ions, medicines, tobacco, etc. The Cubans also told us that we sunk the gunboat that came out of Cienfuegos harbor on the 13th of June and attacked us under cover of the forts. They said that the gunboat w-as riddled from stem to stern, and took fire and burned the moment she got back to the wharf. Four of her men were killed and seven wounded. Whilst the whaleboat was being hoisted after taking the Cubans ashore, it was dropped, and all the men were pitched into the sea; fortunately they were all saved. In the evening we sighted our sister ship, the "Dixie," and our Captain went aboard her. Wednesday, June 22d: Off Casilda harbor. Tried to make an entrance into the harbor, sending a whaleboat ahead of us to mark out the channel with buoys; but finally decided that it would not be safe to take such an unwieldy and cumbersome boat up the harbor. The " Dixie," Commander Davis, threw some shells into a small fort near to Casilda, the fort answering once or twice, but without effect. Thursday, June 23d: Still blockading Casilda and Trinidad de Cuba. Nothing of importance occurred to-day; we sent a whale- boat ashore near Casilda, but were unable to communicate with the insurgents. Friday, June 24th: Off Trinidad de Cuba. At noon, whilst cruising along the coast, five miles to the west of Trinidad de Cuba, we discovered a Cuban flag on the shore; a whaleboat was sent in, and brought off a lieutenant of the Cuban army, who reported that there was a small force of Cubans in the vicinity. We supplied them with some provisions and tobacco, and sent them ashore at 4 P.M. 62 Saturday, June 25th. We left Trinidad de Cuba at dusk on Friday evening, arriving off the coast of the Isle of Pines about noon, where we discovered several small sloops. We nred a blank shot across their bows, but, as they paid no attention to this, we sent a solid one, to which they replied by hoisting the Spanish flag and sailing in close inshore under cover of the reefs. In the after- noon we sent two cutters to the fishing boats; one boat under Lieutenant Cutler and the other under Ensign Diniock. These boats captured the fishing smacks, five in number, and brought them alongside the " Yankee." They had a large quantity of fish aboard, intended for Havana; four dogs and two Spaniards. The dogs and Spaniards were brought aboard, and the Spaniards were allowed to return ashore with their own effects later in the evening. The boats were burned and sunk during the night. In the evening we sighted what was apparently a Spanish torpedo boat, but she disappeared on seeing us, and we saw no more of her. Sunday, June 26th : Cruising off the coast of the Isle of Pines during the night and early morning. Boarded the American ship " Hollyhock," found her papers were all right and permitted her to proceed on her way to Honduras. Also boarded the British steamer " Bangore Head," bound from Swansea to New Orleans. About 9 A.

At 11 P.M. we overhauled and boarded the British steamer "Burton," but finding her papers all right, permitted her to proceed on her way. Wednesday, August 3d: About 9 A. M. sighted the Norwegian steamer " Marie," overhauled her and sent an armed boarding crew with Lieut. Cutler to examine her papers; these and her cargo being suspicious, Lieut.
