BoMBARDMENT BELITTLED.
Spanish Reports Deny Damage to
Forts or Loss of Life.


Forts or Loss of Life.
Madrid, April eft was officially an
nounced that the Notifications at Matan-
zas have not suffered in spite of 800
shells fired by the American fleet" and
that mot one man was killed or wounded
thereby
In official circles the stories OF the bonn
bardment received via the United States
are read with shouts of derisive laughter
Tho following is the substance of the bf-
fetal report made by Gen. Blanco on the
subject of the bombardment of the forts
of Matanzas by ships belonging to Rear
Admiral Sampson's fleet, on Wednesday
last:
Three American cruisers fired on the
batteries of Fort Morillo. at Matanzas,
without doing any damage. We fired four
teen shots. to which the Americans replied
with a multitude of mitraleuse tquick-fir-
ing guns) shots which did not do any in
jury.
"The American squadron also fred four
teen cannon shots at Sabanilla battery,
only one mule being killed, to which ihe
Spanish battery only replied with four
shots. as the squadron was beyond range.
",The whole squadron of Ave ships then
threw several shells into the town without
doing any damage.
'eThe French and Austrian consuls have
protested against the bombardment, as it
was commenced without any previous
warning to foreign subjects
1.-THE troops manning the stations are
full Of fight.
lit appears that our shots did some
damage 10 the American ships. One fun
mel was certainly hit.
During the bombardment, Col. Alfabs,
with column of troops, attacked rebel
band under Betancourt at Migote, south
of Matanzas, capturing their positions and
killing twenty men, Including two chiefs.
A quantity of arms, horses, stores and the
insurgent camps were ca sturfa.
Five mounted rebels ant. a ctiief, AJona,
surrendered" =
The minister of war, Gen. Correa, in the
Chamber of Deputies, replying 10 inquiries
for particulars in regard to the lombard
ment of the forts at Matanzas, said the
government had decided to publish ''ali
the news received, good or bad
Continuing, Gen. Correa repeated the
substance of Gen. Blanco's report.
In official circles IL is not believed that
the Americans can effect~a landing on the
shores of Matanzas bay, as the bay is full
of torpedoes.
The reports cabled from Washington re-
specting the movements of the American
army and fleet are considered as intended
to hoodwink the Spanish government
There are great rejoiclngs in Havana
at what is described as the American re-
pulse at Ma tanzas." It Is not believed
the United States warships will venture
to attack Manila.

Key West, Fla. April 29.-There Is abso-
lutely no foundation for the sensational
reports cabled from here to the effect that
a case of treason has been discovered on
board the United States monitor Puritan.
The rumors arose from the strange ac-
tions of a fireman, with a Spanish sound
ing name. now under restraint on the war
ship, because of his eccentricities. The CT
ficers of the Puritan declare there is no
thought of trying him by court martial
and all talk about treason is absurd.
1t appears that few days ago the man
in question was seen in one of the moni-
tors turrets and the man who saw him
reported that he had his hand on the lock
of the magazine, whereupon the first man
was placed under restraint.
The crew of the monitor Immediately be-
came excited and declared there was a
Spanish traitor on board. Through this,
the extravagant stories were concocted.
The officers of the Puritan believe the
man, who Is fireman, is Cuban, and
they assert positively that he has never
given evidence of any sort of sympathy
with Spain, but they add on the contrary,
when the Puritan was off Matanzas the
man was frequently heard TO say he would
like to get ashore to join the insurgents.

Secretary of War estimates of deficiencies

the acts of Congress approved April % and

volunteer army and placing the regular
army on war footing will necessitate
this increased appropriation for the organ

not oppose the measure. 1t will probably
