AFTER a DESPERATE FIGHT
fBr TELEGRAPH TO THE TRiBUNE]
Jacksonville Fla. Jan. "a dispatch from
Key West says that reports from Havana give
the intelligence that the Spanish gunboat Com
eta. one OF the best vessels Of the kind on the
Cuban coast. was captured by the insurgents
near Cardcnas on Tuesday night. with slight
loss. After securing all the arms and ammuni-
ton on the vessel the insurgents set her on fire
and saw her burn to the waters edge
The Cometa. which was one u the most power
full OF the smaller Spanish vessels in Cuban
waters, had been cruising near Cardenas to pre-
vent the landing of Glibustering expeditions
For some time she had been accustomed to an
Choir at night Of Sierra Morena. The place
where the gunboat anchored was favorable for
an attack from the shore. and the insurgents
determined to capture her Last Tuesday night
the insurgents opened on the vessel with
Hotchkiss gun. The vessel was struck several
times and badly damaged by shells from the gun
While the crew in confusion boats loaded
with insurgents left the shore. and the Come;a
was boarded. desperate hand to hand fight
took place on the deck Of the gunboat. the
Cubans using the -nachete with deadly effect
Finally. after the Spanish commander and half
his men had been killed the survivors sur
rendered.
The insurgents sent tle prisoners ashore and
then looted the vessel. securing a quantity of
ammunition. many cutasses and pistols and
few rifles. Two quck-fring cannon which the
gunboat carried were also removed The insur-
gents then fired the boat. which was soon burned
to the waters edge.
When the fate OF the Cometa became known in
Havana the Spanish authorities suppressed the
news and sent cruisers to Sierra Morena When
the cruisers returned their officers reported that
nothing had been seen OF the Cometa The
Spanish authorities then spread the story that
the gunboat had most likely been lost at sea
This information from Havana proves this to be
untrue. 1t Is ascertaned from inside sources
that the Palace officials are much excited over
the matter. The naval authorities are severely
criticised for the loss of the vessel

MORGAN co.
London JAN 23-Contributons to the Indian
Famine Relief Fund at the Mansion House are
being steadily received by Lord Mayor Faudel-
Phillips but thus far they have not come up to
popular expectations. The subscriptions OF the
Queen. who sent 800. and the Prince and
Princess OF Wales who together contributed
900 have been overshadowed by the contribu-
tons Of William Waldorf Aston and j. 5. Nor
gan e. Co.. the former subscribing f2OOO and the
latter fl 900. Some comment has been caused
by the smallness OF the subscription or the
Queen, who IS Empress of India, but AS she has
never been noted for free handed generosity her
gift Of 600 should cause no comment. but should
be received in the spirit OF small favors thank
fully received. The Prince of Wales Is. as Is
well known. never burdened with any great ex-
OF cash and his gift, small az 1t Is. Is there
fore all the more appreciated
The fund is getting on to the i1ooOOO
mark, but compared with the last fund for
similar purpose. which amounted to about tjOO-
600 1t is as yet comparatively insignificant. This
is no doub. due to the stupid action OF the Gov
eminent. which, when tho fund was first pro-
posed threw cold water upon II. only to ac-
knowledge later that such a fund would be
necessary to keep thousands OF the poverty
stricken natives OF India from starvation. Tho
optimistic views expressed short time ago by
the Indian Government In tho face OF the APP
palling conditions confronting It arc dimcult to
understand, but everybody has now awakened
to the extent OF the dire calamity that has be-
fallen India, and without doubt the purses OF tho
rich people of England will soon DO opened to
pour a stream OF gold to succor their Fellow
subjects who are now in such terrible distress.
