(xl) THE BOMBARDMENT 243 the decisive battle of Santiago v/as fought, there were five bombard- ments by the fleet and one or two smaller movements, such as the demonstration at Guantanamo when the marines landed, at Daiquiri when the troops landed, and at Altares and Aguadores where there were smiall fortifications. SHOT FROM OREGON CARRIES AWAY SPANISH FLAG One of the bombardments was particularly interesting because while the fleet had been ordered by Admiral Sampson not to fire at the Morro,... where it was supposed Hobson and his men were confined, Captain Clark's beautiful Oregon took a pot shot at it one day and knocked the Spanish flag dov/n. It was a particularly pretty sight. The protected cruisers, the New York and the Brooklyn, and the battleship Iowa, which had some trouble with her big guns, moved out of the line, while the Oregon, Indiana, and Texas moved in. The fort on the west side opened fire on them, and while the little Texas vigorously replied to it the Oregon suddenly fired a thirteen-inch shell, which struck full on the parapet, just below the flag, demolishing the corner and bringing the Spanish red and yellow down in the debris.
