Washington, May 10.-The military

lieved or disappointed by the news that
came late Tuesday afternoon to both
the navy and state departments to the
effect that the Spanish flying squadron
had arrived at Cudiz, Spain. The safety
CT the Oregon from attack is now COM
pletely assured, and the way is clear for
military operations in Cuba without
running the risk of having the occupy
ing army's line of communication cut
off. On the other hand, it is believed
that no enduring peace can be secured
until the Spanish navy has been de-
stroyed, and ii now appears that to do
this our sailors must make up their
minds to go after The Spaniards, a task
very mucl, more difficult than that of
meeting them near our own shores.

Key West, Fla, 12.-There was an,
engagement off Cardenes near Matan.
zas yesterday at o'clock in the afteri:
noon. The United States cruiser Will.
mington. commander. C. c. Todd; the
torpedo boat Winslow and the auxili.>
ary gunboat Hudson were engaged.
One officer and four mon were killed,
and several we're wounded.
When the United States gunboat
Hudson came up to the government,
dock at 8 o'clock this morning, the
bodies of five dead men were lying on
her after deck. They were the re-.
mains Of Ensign w. Bagley and four
members of the crew of the torpedo
boat Winslow who were killed in an
engagement in Cardenas harbor yes
terday afternoon. The bodies wers
covered by the stars and stripes.
In the cabin Of the Hudson was Caps
tain John B. Bernadow OF the Winslow;
who is slightly injured in the left leg,
and several others of the Winslow's
crew, who are slightly wounded.
The engagement took place inside
the harbor of Cardenas. The gunboa
Wilmington. the torpedo boat Winslow
and the gunboat Hudson were the only
vessels engaged.
The battle, while it lasted, was ter.
rife. The Wilmington and the Hudson
were ahead and opened fire on the
Spanish boats which were lying at the
docks. The firing began at a range OF
$500 yards. A few minutes later the
Winslow came up and also opened up
fire. At 2:55 p. IN. solid shot crashed
into the hull of the Winslow and
knocked out her boiler. In an instant
she began to roll and drift helplessly.
The gunboat Hudson, which was ly+
ing near by, started to the assistance
of the Winslow. She ran alongside
the torpedo boat and tried to throw q
line to the imperilled crew. Up to this
time, with the exception of the one
shot which disabled the boiler of the
Winslow, the firing of the Spanish gun.

low lay rolling In the water the range
grew closer and shells began to ex-
plode all about her.
It was difficult for the Hudson to get
near enough to throw line to the
Winslow's crew, 80 terrible was the
fire all around her. Finally, after about
twenty minutes the Hudson approached
near enough to throw line. Ensign
Bagley and six men were standing in
group on the deck of the Winslow,
"Heave her, heave her." shouted Bag.
ley, as he looked towards the com.
mander of the Hudson and called for q
line.
Don't miss it." shouted the officer
from the Hudson, and with o smile
Bagley called back: "Let her come,

Over GOO Spaniards Killed OF Injured
Not an American Lost His Life
and No Ships Destroyed-Detailed
Account of the Most Wonderful
Battle in HistOry.

Hong Kong, May 9.-Among naval
ropcans and natives here there is only
one subject of discussion, the brilliant,
dashing, unnihilating victory of the
American fleet under Commodore Dew
ey over the Spanish fleet commanded by
Admiral Montejo in Manila bay on Sum
day last.
The position occupied by the Span
iards, the support which their ships re-
eeived from the land batteries, and the
big guns they had ashore guve them an
enormous advantage. Therefore, when
it is considered that the Spaniards lost
over 600 men in killed and wounded,
that all of their ships were destroyed,
and that their naval arsenal at Cavite
was also destroyed, with its defenses,
~ will become apparent that the victory
OF the American commodore is one of
the most complete and wonderful
achievements in the history of naval
warfare.
Not q man on board tho American
feet was killed, not an American ship
was damaged to any extent, and only
six men were injured slightly on board
the Baltimore.
This grand achievement is quite al
much due to the generalship of Commo-
dore Dewey as to the fact that Amer
lean gunners, ships and guns are supe-
rior to anything in the same line afloat
anywhere. Credit must also be given
to the fullest extent to the officers un-
der Commodore Dewey, for, to man,
they seconded their gallant commander
in every way possible, and thus helped
him win the laurels which are justly
