fact that the Spaniards failed to strike
such a large target as the New York,
towering, as she does, like house out
of the water, was taken as excellent evil
dence that they are not good marks
men. On the other hand every shot that
the New York fired after she got the
range was pitched right into the bat
teries.
The bomba rdment developed that the
largest pieces mounted by the Spanish a t
MatanZas are S-inch guns, and the best
opinion Is that there were not more than
five or six guns there. But far more
important than the destruction of the
Matanzas batteries is the conclusion
from the bombardment. This cOnclu-
sion is that Havana Is absolutely at the
mercy Of the United States fleet when
ever we choose to open fire.
Rear Admiral Sampson, when asked

The half completed earthwOrks and

the shells. All the ships engaged showed
excellent craftsmanship throughout the
engagement, and when they were firing
took effect. The forts which were bonn
barded were on Il low point and were con-
sidered merely earthworks. They did
not make good target. yet when the
big guns were fred at the shortest range
portions of the forts could be seen fly
ing in the air at every shot.

Some DclusiOns About Guns,

Speaking of the visitors to the
League Island navy yard, as a rule,
they are impressed with the great size
and imposing appearance of the Min
neapolis and the Columbia that they
invariably rate the cruisers above the
monitor Miantonomoh in fighting
capacity, whereas the cruisers would
be easy prey for the heavily protected
monitor if they came within range of
her big guns. Most of the visitors
are awed by the ugly looks OF the old
tifteen-inch smooth-bore guns and old
time mortars that have been stored in
the navy yard ever since the war.
They are very incredulous when told
that there is mo power for destruc-
ton in even the small four-inch
modern rifles which the vessels carry
in their secondary batteries than in
the most formidable Hooking of the
obsolete smooth-bores which frown so
threateningly along the bank of the
river. Philadelphia Record.

they are confronted with starvation. 1t
Is believed the insurgents will adhere to
their guerilla tactics and not transfer
their forces in any large number to a
territory where starvation will soon hold
sway.
or course the absorbing topic from
admiral to coal passer is, when do we
take Havana?" One could not help
thinking how easy it would be to land
