Quicx, ~ her Carrie E. Lane,
upon her a7i{Val here tonight, had a
tale to tel1f bout thrilling encounter
in Cuban waters with Spanish gun
boat. Two shots were fred at the Lane
by the man-of-war, and one of the
schooner's men narrowly escaped be-
ing killed by one Of them. The vessel
was made to have to and give an ac-
count of herself before being allowed
to proceed.
The schooner was off Cape Antonio
and making good time before a stiff
breeze, when, on the 14th inst, she
sighted steamer flying the Spanish
flag following her. While he was
making up his mind what course to
pursue, puff Of smoke curled over the
strangers port bow, and round shot
whistled uncomfortably close to the
schooner's mainmast, plunging into the
water on the leequarter. Captain
Quick gave the order to haul in sail and
bring the vessel to. While this was
being done, one of the crew ran out on
the bowsprit. As he stood there the
gun on the Spanish warship doomed
again, and another shot sped ON it,
way toward the American craft, this
time coming so close to her that the
sailor on the bowsprit swears he dis
tinctly felt the wind caused by its
rapid fight. The Lane soon came to 6
dead stop, and the gunboat drew VI
under her quarter.
A boat was lowered and four Spanish
marines, under the command Of lieu
tenant in the Spanish navy, came
aboard. They were fully armed, and
their leader politely lifted his hat and
demanded to know from what port the
Lane had sailed and whittier she was
bound. Captain Quick gave the re-
quired information and no furthe,
search was made. The vessel was per
mitted to continue on her course with
out further molestation.
Captain Quick says he could not ge
the name Of the gunboat. He add
that after the first shot was fred at til,
Lane he caused the stars and stripes t.
be hoisted, but the only response tn,
Spanish made was the second shot
The gunboat did not hoist her color
until after the first shot was fired
William Quick reached here tonigh
and wired his agents in Philadelphia
and will await advices from them be
fore determining whether to conside
the action of the Spaniards as an out
rage.

San Francisco, July 25.-General
