CERYERA’S MISTAKE.

A Statemeot by Capt Clark o Battleship Oregon.

In • jienonal interrlew. In nniHer to n qocstion by the editor. Cept. Clark piree in the Century the iollo»ingopinion of the Bpnniih adrolrnl'a etrategy: "Aaaoming that the Speniah fleet had *0 oome out (end I for one. had given op the hope that It wo old do eo). it is mj judgment that Admiral Cerrera should have preferred night to day as the time for the aortic, notwithstanding the search-light watch ao rigidly maintained at the entrance. lie could' have placed as guides to the channel, along the shore, and on the smokestack or mast of the sunken Kerri mac, lights screened toward the sea, so that we eould not have detected them. Ilia best chance would have been to get

up his anchors and begin to i

dusk, when he would hare had light enough to see the shore sad the channel marks, timing the moment so that he should dash out just as darkness fall. Wa could not then have dosed in upon him without great danger to ot as]vea. The firing would have had ba dons virtually in the dark, for tbs

sanrch-llghta (even supposing t' ers than the one regularly in

been turned on) would soon have become Ineffective, on account of tfe smoke and from tbe shattering force of the gun*, which probably would hare extinguished them. The direction ot the enemy could thus hare been masked, and as each of our captains would have bean concerned with the risk of his ship being rammed or torpedoed, o onslaught would have had a far differrat result than It actually had when

full daylight enabled every comm sr to ase what all the other* (as

as the enemy) were doing, and exaatly what was to be done. It was the difference between certainty and' oncer-

emy with relation to the danger of being torpedoed. As all hla ships were supposed to be provided with Whitebrad torpedoes, I determined, nnlera an emergency required it, not to go inaids ot half a mile, that being the effective torpedo range, since our superiority in ordnance and armor would

thus have been neutralised.

“Considering the courses that were opes to Cervcra, I should probably, in tha elrcnmatances, have done as he did —head to the westward, keeping the fleet together In the hope of destroying any vessel which might be able to overtake ma. Cleof negus was his nearest and natural port, and there be would have been in direct communication with'

Havana by rail, and, so to speak, u have been In a Spanish environr If he had intended to go to Hava:

would have been better to go westward than eastward, for, though the distance is somewhat greater, the current

would hare favored, and there

Tbs result of the sortie shows that he might have stood a better chance of raving one or two or even more of hit ships by the policy of scattering, with an ultimate ver.drxvous. Only three of nor vessels were superior in speed to hla vessels, namely, the New York, the Brooklyn and the Oregon—possibly the Texas. Even If each of these could liars selected and pursued a Spanish ship, it ia possible that not avery one of them would have been equal to tbe lit. Tbe armored crnlaera, the Brooklyn and the Fvw York, might have found that they had ‘caught Tortara.’ They eould not hare pierced the armor of the Spanish vessel., while the Spanish guns could readily hare pierced their*. Then were no orders to our vessels for auch separate actloa, for neither Admiral Sampson nor anyone rise could have anticipated such taetlce. It ia a matter of pure conjecture, but I am inclined to think that the confusion resulting from such a movement would have strongly favored Cer-
