Second Battle of San Juan (1898)
The Second Battle of San Juan occurred on 22 June 1898 when two Spanish vessels tried to break the American blockade off San Juan.
==Background==
San Juan had been under blockade by American forces since April 1898. Most of the time, the blockade consisted of a single auxiliary cruiser which patrolled and pursued blockade runners that were attempting to reach San Juan. By June, the task of blockading San Juan was delegated to the auxiliary cruiser , a former ocean liner commanded by Captain Charles Sigsbee who had formerly commanded the . The Spanish destroyer , originally part of Admiral Cervera's squadron, had mechanical trouble and left the main Spanish fleet eventually reaching San Juan. With ''Terror'' and several other naval vessels at their disposal, the Spanish decided to make an attempt at breaking the blockade. ''Terror'' and the old cruiser set off from San Juan to engage ''St. Paul'' while a crowd of jubilant locals at the harbor cheered them on.
