BOMBARDMENI Of san JUAN.
The American Warships Sustain
Merely Trivial Injury.
NO SHOTS AIMED At THE CITY.

Copyright, 1898, by the Associated Press.
KEY WEST. May is.-The Associated
Press dispatch boat Dauntless arrived
this morning. bringing the first detailed
account OF the bombardment OF San Juan
by Simpsons fleet on May Il. The Amer
lean ships sustained only trivial injury
and lost but one man killed. After the
engagement the north end of Moro castle
was in ruins, the Cabras island fort
s;lenced and the San Carlos battery dam
aged. No shots were aimed at the city.
and il Is not known whether any damage
was done there.
Plans OF Notifications furnished the fleet
were very misleading. 1t was known that
the Spanish forts had recently been
strengthened with new guns. but other
facts developed which showed miscalcuia-
tions by those who drew the plans. Refu-
gees from st. Thomas told correspondents
who touched there after the engagement
that Spaniarts thought the forts at San
Juan were stronger than those of Havana
story of the Refugees.
Copyright 1898. by the Associated Press.
ST. THOMAS. ID. W. l.. May 1s---Over
thirty Porto Rican refugees, mostly wo-
men, with very little money. arrived here
last night on board the French steamer
Rodriguez. 1t is rumored that the gov
ernor general of Porto Rico has issued
a proclamation saying eight soldiers were
killed and thirty-four wounded as a re-
suit of the bombardment of the forts at
San Juan by a portion OF Rear Admiral
Sampson's feet on May IL. He adds that
two guns were dssmounted at Moro castle.
which otherwise was very little damaged.
He also says the other forts were not
much hurt.
In the town one shot, ii Is alleged, pene-
trated the palace and the corner of
powder house was carried away.
No school children were killed. The
Spanish transport Alfonso XIII. and the
Spanish steamer Manueia were damaged
by the American fire. The Spaniards. as
usual. claim they won a victory. basing
this assertion upon the fact that the
American warships departed under fire.
But the refugees say the city of San
Juan IS still terrorized. its inha abitants be-
ing In hourly fear of the temperance
OF the American feet and a repetition Of
the bombardmeni. Therefore people are
camping in the country out of the range
OF the American guns. The Spaniards
claim that Freeman Halsted, the news
paper correspondent who was sentenced to
nine years Imprisonment for photograph

wounded by shot which struck the town
