FORT BOMBARDED
New York, Puritan and
Cincinnati Fire on
Matanzas.
SPANISH RETURNED THE FIRE

Great Damage Done to the FOrtfnca-
lions of the Cuban Port-Beiieyed
There Was Also Loss of Life-No
Dana ge Done to American Warships.
On Board the Flagship New York, off
Matanzas, April 29.-The New York,
the Puritan and the Cincinnati bonn
barded the forts at the mouth of Matan-
zas harbor this afternoon. There were
no casualties on our side, but it is be-
lieved that the hail of iron which
pounded in the forts must have caused
loss OF life to the Spaniards, though
nothing is known definitely.
The engagement commenced at 1857.
and ceased at LILO. The object of the
attack was to prevent the completion Of
the earthworks at Punta Gorda.
A battery on the eastward arm OF the
bay opened fire on the flagship. and
this was also shelled.
About IL 8-inch shells were fired
from the eastern forts, but all fell
short.
About FIVE or six light shells were
fred from the half-completed battery.
Two OF these whizzed' over the New
York, and the others fell short. The
ships left the bay for the open sea, the
object of discovering the whereabouts
Of the batteries having been accom-
plisbed.
In the neighborhood of 800 shots
were put on land from the three vessels
from a range Of from 1000 to 1000
yards.
Rear-Admiral Sampson, when asked
if he was satisfied with the result,
said:
Eyes, I am. expected to be. .
The half-completed Spanish earth
works and battery were apparently
blown up by the shells.
All the ships engaged showed ex-
,.ellent workmanship throughout the
engagement, and when they were firing
at the shortest range, nearly every
shell took effect.
The forts which were bomharded
were on low-lying point, and were
considered merely earthworkse They
did not make good target. yet when
the big buns were fred at the shortest
range, portions of the forts could be
seen flying in the air at every shot.
The flagship returned to Havana. and
the Puritan and Cincinnati were left
on the Matanzas station.

Department Not informed.

Washington. April $3.50 far as
could be learned, the officials OF the
administration we're not notified OF the
bardment of Matanzas yesterday
afternoon. The navy department keeps
a telegraph Office open in the building
all night and q confidential official re-
mains at the department all night to
translate the messages as received.
There was considerable business done
over the wires till the early morning
hours, but none of the dispatches were
sent either to the White House or to
the secretary of the navy.

BoMBARDMENT OF HAVANA.

Not the Present Purpose Of the Gov
eminent.
Washington, April 29.-The war sit
nation is substantially this:
The blockading squadron remains
passive before Havana, with no present
purpose of bombarding or Of drawing
the fire of the shore batteries. The
strategic purpose of an effective block
ade OF the Cuban coast is being accom-
plished to the entire satisfaction OF the
authorities here. There is no indica-
ton that a part Of the feet will be
withdrawn for the purpose Of affording
additional protection to North Atlantic
ports.
No word had come to the department
up to the close of Office hours OF the ar
rival OF the Montserrat at Cienfugos.
The officials are inclined to believe that
If she has gotten into portshe did so
before the blockade Of Cienfugos had
begun.
The very fact that the Madrid off,
cials have rather ostentatiously de-
clared that the Spanish fleet has sailed
to lombard the cities on the North At
lantic coast is taken as certain indi-
cation at the navy department. Of the
utter improbability Of such a movement.
II this were contemplated, the Spanish
officials would be the very last to make
their purpose public.
The navy department, as yet, has
made no arrangements for the care OF
prisoners taken by our warships. but
the legal officers of the department
think they should be sent to Boston
naval prison.
