Santiago, naval battle of See also Sampson, William Thomas; Schley, Winfield Scott; Spain, War with. United States Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, in a narrative of the American-Spanish War, gives the following graphic history of the great naval engagement off the entrance to the harbor of Santiago de Cuba on July 3, 1898: It matters little now why Cervera pushed open the door of Santiago Harbor and rushed out to ruin and defeat. The admiral himself would have the world understand that he was forced out by illadvised orders from Havana and Madrid. Very likely this is true.

For details of this notable engagement Santiago, naval battle of; Sampson, William Thomas; and Schley, Winfield Scott. After the surrender of the army and the territory under his control by the Spanish commander-in-chief in the field, Brig.-Gen. Leonard Wood (q. v.) was appointed the first American governor of the city and district. He found the city in a wretched sanitary condition, applied bold methods of reform, and so completely transformed the conditions which had existed for generations that, on the return to the United States of Maj.-Gen. John R. Brooke (q. v.), the American go
