Revenue Cutter Robert McLelland, then in the port of New Orleans. 6» In the Spanish-American War, the cutters rendered con- spicuous service. Eight cutters, carrying 43 guns, were in Ad- miral Sampson's fleet, and on the Havana blockade. The McCiilloch, carrying 6 guns, and manned by 10 officers and 95 men, was at the battle of Manila Ray, and subsequently was employed by Admiral Dewey as his dispatch boat. At the battle of Cardenas, May 11, 1898, the cutter Hudson, Lieutenant Frank H. Newcomb,... commanding, sustained the fight against the gunboats and shore batteries of the enemy side by side with the naval torpedo boat Winslow, and when Ensign Bagley and half the crew of the latter named vessel had been killed and her commander wounded, rescued from certain destruction the ves- sel and remainder of the crew under the furious fire of the enemy's guns. In recognition of this act of heroism, upon the recommendation of the President of the United States, Con- gress authorized, by Joint Resolution approved May 3, 1900, that a gold medal be presented to Lieutenant Newcomb, a sil- ver medal to each of his officers, and a bronze medal to each member of his crew.
