THE MATANZA'S COMMANDMENT
1t Was Thoroughly Satisfactory and
Americans Are Highly Pleased.


Americans Are Highly Pleased.
Key West, Fla, April 2S.-The bonn
bardment Of the forts of Matanzas by
the United States cruiser New York, the
flagship of Rear Admiral Sampson, the
monitor Puritan, and the cruiser Cincin-
natl is eagerly discussed here. and every
incident of the affair is weighed and re.
weighed by Army and Navy officers and
the newspaper men.
The fact that the Spaniarls open
ed fire OF our ships while the latter were
making reconnaissance in force, and
when the vessels were nearly five miles
out from the batteries, leads TO the he
lief that the enemy believed that all thal
was necessary to- induce the Tnitc4
States fleet to move further away, was
for the batteries to open fire on them.
But IL. from former experience, they had
reached this conclusion, they found that
forbearancc had reached the limit. and
they must have been intensely astonish-
ed when the New York, being the
farthest west. but the nearest inshore
opened with her batteries with n ven
geance and steaming nearer shore, ac-
companied by her consorts, made such
excellent practice with her guns that in
eighteen minutes every Spanish gun was

fop- rlaiputpC hafopp
There must have been many casualties
Oh the Spanish side. since the rapid fire
guns were used on all the ships, rs well
as those of larger calibre.
1t seems to be the general opinion that
the Spaniards had nothing heavier than
eight inch guns. and that they had very
poor gunners with any of their ordnance.
However. just before the Spanish bat
terics were silcnced, one gun on the west
side Of the harbor seemed to be getting
the range of the flagship. several shots
striking near the New York, and on
both sides Of her. II the purpose of the
reconnaissance and the subsequent can
nonadc was to secure an available place
for the landing later, OF United States
troops, such purpose has been well ac-
complishcd, for no doubt exists that the
Spanish batteries at Matanzas, have
been silenccd for good. or at least for q

HOUSE DEBATES REVENUE BILL.
The Majority Of the Democrats DO Not
Favor Voting for Bond Issue.

Washington, j.. c., April 2S.-The
general debate OH the war revenue bill
closed tonight after eight and one-half
hours of speech making. The debate to-
day lacked both spirit and interest.
There was little discussion of the inter
nal revenue features of the bill. The
Democrats continued their assaults on
the bond feature, and their advocacy of
the income tax. The latter was ridiculcd
as Il substitute proposition by the Repub-
licans. The authority to borrow money
was defended by them as absolutely
necessary. There is Il difference of
opinion on the Democratic side as to
whether the bill should be voted for
upon its final passage after the minor7
ty amendments are voted dOWn.sA
number of the Democrats, led by Mr..
Mcclellan, OF New York, have an

the majority of the Democrats believe
they could not justify Il vote for bond

rule tomorrow. If the amendments of
these sections should exhaust the time
