Here, again. the use of moss is invalu-

FIGHT AT SANTIAGO.
The st. Louis and Wompatuck Were
Out Cable Cutting.

The st. Louis and WOmpatuck Were
Out Cable Cutting.
ST THOMAS. DANISH WEST IN
DIES. MAY 23.-The firing at Santiago de
cuba on Wednesday May 18th, was be-
tween the Spaniards there and two
American vessels. Acting under orders
from Admiral Sampson. the auxiliary
cruiser St. Louis and the tug Wompa-
tuck went 10 Santiago for the purpose
Of cutting the cable there. The cable
was picked up within range Of the guns
Of MORO Castle, and the Spaniards at
once opened fire on the Americans.
Two sand batteries and one mortar
battery on the shore at the bottom Of
the height on which the MORO Is sit
uated Joined i'm the firing, TO which the
Americans responded.
The aim Of the Spanish gunners was
atroclously bad. The men who were de-
tailed TO CT the cable grappled for 10
from the deck of the 81. Louis. They
found &c with little difficulty. and coolly
lifted it TO the forecastle OF the ST.
Louis. where st was cut. the Spaniards
meanwhile doing their best to disable
the cruiser
The engagement was lively while f.
lasted The 81. Louis brought her total
armament OF four 6-pOunders into play,
while the Wompatuck used her one B.
FOUNDER With this small armament the
Americans finally succeeded I'm silcncing
all but two or three Of the Spanish guns.
Neither Of the American vessels was
seriously damaged A topmast back
stay on the 81. Louis was shot away, and
the pilot house Of the Wompatuck was
slightly splintered.
one man on the st. Louis had a finger
broken by a flying fragment Of shell
while handling the cable.
When the Americans had completed
their work at Santiago they proceeded
some twenty miles 20 the eastward,
where they entered the Bay Of Guanta-
namo they being under orders to cut the
cable there also.
While they were picking up the cable
I'm the bay the Spanish batteries opened
fire on them. but the guns, being small
and poorly handled. were ineffective.
Two well-placed shots from the St.
Louis secured comparative quiet and
the work OF further gripping Blancos
communication with the outside world
was peacefully accomplished The
Americans laugh at the Runnery Of the
Spaniards. They are highly pleased with
the success OF their task.
The armament Of the St. Louis and
Wompatuck is Tidiculously small for
fighting purposes and it Is considered
that more powerful vessels should be en-
ployed when it Is necessary for them TO
