Well, first of all, WHAT WAS THE DATE of the incident you are asking about? You don't even give a year! I don't know immediately of a "Battle of Cape Santa Maria" so it might be called something else in English. Are you referring, perhaps, to the action of January 16, 1780? This is known in English as the "Moonlight Battle" and is usually placed in English accounts off Cape St. Vincent (but it isn't called the "Battle of Cape St. Vincent" to avoid confusing it with the battle of February 14, 1797).
