Philip of the battleship USS Texas mustering his crew on deck after the Battle of Santiago on July 3, 1898, and leading them in a prayer of thanksgiving for their victory and survival. The Battle of Santiago was the decisive naval engagement of the war: Admiral Cervera's entire Spanish squadron of four armored cruisers and two destroyers attempted to break out of Santiago harbor and was annihilated by the American North Atlantic Squadron in a running fight lasting less than four hours, with all Spanish ships sunk or beached and 323 Spanish sailors killed โ€” at the cost of one American killed and one wounded. During the battle Captain Philip had become famous for stopping his crew's victory cheer as the burning Spanish cruiser Vizcaya was going down with her crew aboard, saying \"Don't cheer, boys โ€” those poor devils are dying!\" Philip's subsequent thanksgiving prayer on the Texas deck made him a national hero and a symbol of American naval honor. He was promoted to Rear Admiral before dying suddenly in 1900. The Naval History and Heritage Command holds his photograph on the bridge of the Texas during the battle. A primary document of one of the defining moments of the Spanish-American War.\n\nโ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”\n๐Ÿช– THE CUBAN CAMPAIGN\nโ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”\n\n๐Ÿช– HALF PAGE โ€” \"OFFICERS AND MEN OF UNITED STATES TROOPS KILLED IN THE ATTACK ON THE SPANISH FORCES AT SANTIAGO, JULY 1 AND 2\"\nA half-page of portraits of American soldiers killed in the battles of San Juan Hill and El Caney on July 1-2 โ€” the bloodiest days of the Cuban campaign, in which Roosevelt's Rough Riders and the Buffalo Soldiers charged up the heights above Santiago.
