the one shot which disabled the boiler of
the WINSTON, the firing of the Spanish gun
boats had been wild, but as ,he Winslow
lay rolling in the water the range grew
closer and shells began to explode all about
her.
1t was difficult for the Hudson to get near
enough to throw a line to the Winslow's
crew, so terrible was the fire all about her.
Finally, after about 20 minutes, the Hud-
son approached near enough to throw a
line.
Ensign Bagley and six men were standing
in group on the deck of the Winslow.
"Heaye her! Heave her! shouted Bag
ley as he looked towards the commander
of the Hudson and called for a line.
Don't miss it," shouted an officer from
the Hudson, and, with a smile. Bagley
called back: Let her come. It's getting
too hot here for comfort"
The line was thrown and about the same
instant a shell burst in the very midst OF
the group of men on board the Winslow
Bagley was instantly killed and few
Others dropped about him. Half a dozen
more fell grooming on the blood-stalned
deck. One of the dead men pitched mead
hong over the side of the boat, but his
feet caught in the iron rail and he was
hauled back.
Bagley lay stretched on the deck, with his
face completely torn away and the upper
part of his body shattered
The torpedo boat, disabled and helpless,
rolled and swayed under the fury OF the IRE
from the spanish Euhboats'
When the shell burst in the. group on
board the Winslow another wild shout of
triumph went up from the Spanish boats
and batteries and again heavy fire was
opened on the torpedo boat
Finally the Hudson succeeded In getting
a line on board the WinslOw, and was tow
ing her out of the deadly range when the
line parted and again both boats were at
the mercy of the Spanish fire.
At $3.50 p. m the Hudson managed TO get
another line on the deck of the WlnsloW,
hlIt
time to make II fast.
The line was finally secured and the
Winslow was towed up to Pedras island,
where she was anchored, with the dead ard
wounded on her decks. There some men
from the Hudson went on board the Wins
low and took the most seriously wounded

SHUT OFF IMPORTANT NEWS.
Waiting Ambition of Some Journal
lists OyerreRches Itself - Impru-
dent Publications Are Niade.

Washington, May 17.-An order post
ed Monday morning and signed by Sec
rotary Long relative 10 the publication
Of news emanating from the navy de-
partment had the effect of considerably
curtailing the supply of information
that heretofore has been rather freely
given out. The secretary's order was
directed to Capt. Crowninshield, chief
of the navigation bureau. and he, in
turn, gave it effect by making an order
in his own name that no person con-
nected with his bureau in any capacity
should have any conversation whatever
upon subjects in any way pertaining to
the navy with representatives of the
press. As an offset it was ordered that
bulletins of such facts as have actually
occurred and are proper for publication,
and are not connected with existing or
projected movements, shall be pre-
pared and posted on the bulletin boards.
In explanation of the issue of this or
der the naval authorities say that some
of the leading American newspapers
have been so far lacking in patriotism
as to print plans of campaign and pro-
iected movements of naval ships, with
the result that the war board has been
obliged to completely revise its plans in
the knowledge that the Spaniards had
promptly taken notice of the publica-
tons and were prepared to profit by

Havana. The information given out
at the navy department that the Span.

thought the Spaniards are making for
the south coast of Cuba.
AS soon as the navy department can
communicate with Sampson it is un.
derstood that the monitors Puritan and
Ampritrite will be ordered to Havana
to maintain the blockade anu help the
vessels of the blockading fleet should
Cerevera escape Sampson and Schley

Confirmation is obtained of the re.
that the Spaniards left one of their
