| Benham that if these vessels attempt
ed such move he would fire on them.
Admiral Benham at once replied that
the vessels would go to the pier men,
toned, under the protection of the
American cruisers if necessary. The
insurgents ships were made ready
the next morning, and lowered
| around the American merchantmen,
ready to prevent their moving. The
Detroit was also prepared for action.
AS the Detroit steamed in among the
| rebel ships, one of the latter fired on
the Good News. The Detroit at once
sent shot across the bows of the in
surgent. The latter replied, and the
Detroit sent shell into her stern
post. Then the insurgent ship signal
ed that she would stop firing. What
the final result will be is not known.
