sons on board believe the Spanish loss
was severe and advance more or less
plausible theories. Rear Admiral
Sampson and Captain Chadwick ven
ture no statement on the subject.
The most characteristic incident of
the bombardment of Matanzas and one
that will go down in history as an in
stance of Yankee pluck occurred in the
sick bay on the flagship. Ill sailors
were lying there listening to the shots,
all eager to get on deck. Suddenly, as
if moved by common impulse, four
of them sprang from their cots. One
other a high fever; but their ailments
were forgotten as they rushed out to
their gun divisions and took their US
ual stations. Despite their entreaties
to be allowed to stay, they were or
dered back to the sick bay. 1t is hard
ly necessary to say that these four
splendid specimens 'of the man be-
hind the gun" were not reported for
breach of discipline.
1t was reported on the flagship it's
return to the Havana station that two
torpedo gunboatS had endeavored to
run the blockade during the day and
had been forced back into Havana by
the Wilmington and the Iowa. a sharp
lookout was kept throughout the night
lest these tiny craft should repeat the
the attempt The torpedo boat Wins
low has arrived from Key West and
Major Meade of the marines was put
on board the flagship.

FIRST BATTLE.
Exchange of Shots Between
Simpsons Warships
And the Spanish Notifications
at MatanZaS
DESCRIBED IN DETAIL
As it Appeared From the New
YOrk'S Deck.
The City Could Have Been
Taken With Ease.

On the Flagship, off Havana, via
Key West, April 29.-The bombardment
of the Matanzas batteries is now a
matter of history. The flagship has
returned to her station off Ell MORO.
The bombardment accomplished its
purpose, and that without any loss of
life on the American side. 1t is be-
1ieved the Spaniards must have sus-
tanned some loss of life in addition to
having their nearly completed earth
works and fortifcations torn up by the
explosion of shells. The capture of the
city was not at all contemplated, the
object being to stop the erection of the
batteries.
The engagement, the first in which
the United States navy has participated
for about thirty years, occurred quite
Unexpectedly. The New York was ly-
ing about twenty miles east of Havana
at half past 10 in the morning when
Rear Admiral Sampson decided to
steam to Matanzas. At the entrance
to the harbor the monitor Puritan and
the cruiser Cincinnati met the flagship.
At slow speed the flagship proceeded
toward the harbor, the Puritan follow
ing half a mile astern and the Cincin-
natl about two miles to the westward.
Rear Admiral Sampson and Captain
Chadwick stood on the high bridge
carefully surveying the forts which had
had the temerity to fire on the United
States torpedo boat Foote. When about
three miles from Punta Gorda, the ex-
treme point of the eastern end of the
harbor, a long yellow streak was seen
on shore. 1t looked like a newly erect
ed earthwork- Closer inspection re-
vealed a number of men clustered
around the shore Still the New York
steamed slowly ahead until it was as
certained without any doubt that the
Spanish troops were busy erecting what
seemed to be a sand battery and had
already gotten several guns into posi-
ton.
Rear Admiral Sampson decided that

CAPE HAYYEN, June > QO:3O a.
~ .-According to the latest advices
from Monte Cristo Gen. Criston, the
leading spirit in the recent revolution
airy attempt, divided his men on landin 3
into two columns, one Of which attack
ed and took the FORT the other, led by
Jiminez, marching to the g vernon s
house. Gov. Galito was seized, and
the demand was made upon him by
JlmlneZ that he sign paper accepting
the leadership Of the revolutionists Of
the northern district. Gov. Galito re-
fused. saying that he was too old to
take part in revolution.
Gen. Jiminez then told him he was a.
prisoner and he was marched, out be-
tween file of insurgents. In the
street, however, column Of govern
ment troops met the Jiminez column
and in the combat which ensued Galito
escaped. = The. government force, being
stronger, pres sed sa,aek the insurgents
who for half an hour Ietreated. slowly
all the while filing towards the shore
Gen. Jiminez was furiously attacked
personally, and the commander of the
detachment which had captured the
fort abandoned the fort and came to
his rescue.
Inc nndl ana most desperate lighting
took place at the waters edge. There
Morales aid Boes were killed A party
of insurgents of Juales Mercedes, see
ing that defeat was inevitable, took ref
uge in the mountains. 1t Is reported
they were surrounded later and Mer-
cedes was shot.
Insurgents here (Monte Cristo) say
that a mistake was made in showing
clemency to Gen. Galito instead of kill
ing him off hand, for Galito immedi-
ately began bloodthirsty methods of
vengeance upon the employees of the
mercantile house of which Jiminez is
the head. To the number of sixteen
they were adjudged guilty of conspir-
acy and taken out and shot. Among
them were several boys not more than
seventeen years Of age.
In the fight six insurgents were kill
ed and about twenty-four have been
executed since.
1t is supposed that Gen. Torevo Gar
ella escaped with Jiminez, but this is
not confirmed
Advices from Puerto Plata say all is
quiet today. -Four more revolutionists
have been shot since Saturday, among
them Charles Mercedes, said to be well
known in New York city.
According to the same informant, the
country appears to be completely paci-
| fed.
