vile was quick to follow suit. and the little Windom cut loose with her four pounders-
 In the meanwhile Spanish bullets fell in every direction around the small boats. Though the attack had come suddenly and fiercely, the blue-Jackets were not dismayed, and protected by the terrific return fire of the warsh1ps work was continued and the cable cut.
 When the boats returned to the ships Reagan, who was in one of the Marole- heads boats, Of which there were two, was found to have been killed. DIX men were badly wounded
 The Spaniards had by this time sur fered severe loss. Their shots from the lighthouse struck the warships several times, and, although they did not do much damage, the fire aroused the oe- termination of the American ofncers to exterminate the fort. Thereafter for the while, the fire of the warships was concentrated upon the lighthouse and the improvized fort was blown to pieces As there were great numbers of Spaniards in and behind the fort al the time there is no doubt that many of them were killed
 The Marblehead and the Nashville used their heaviest guns, as well as their small rapid-flring guns, and hun- dreds of shots were thrown into the Spanish troops.
 On board the ships a number of men were slightly wounded.

 When the commanders of the Marble head and the Nashville called for vol
 unteers to man the boats and cut the cable the men responded with jump. Lieutenant Winslow of the Nashville took command of the Nashville's boats
 The shore surrounding the entrance of the harbor was first shelled and the boats proceeded in. The cable was
 deep in the channel and was found with
 difficulty One of the relays of the ca
 ble had been cut when the Spaniards opened fire.
 The marines In the boats replied at once and a machine gun from the for ward launch sent in stream of bullets,
 while heavy shells from the warships drove the Spaniards from the rifle pit at the shore, many of them seeking
 refuge in the lighthouse fort, which
 was afterward torn to pieces by a shell
 from the Windom.
 With desperate courage the American sailors stuck to their posts and suc-
 ceeded in dragging up the second relay
 of the cable and severing it. Seven men

back to the ship. Lieutenant Winslow was shot in the hand and a number of others were more or less injured.
 On the Nashville Captain Maynard was standing forward with an ensign when Spanish bullet passed through the ensign's shoulder and struck May nard on the chest, wounding him only slightly. The Marblehead was struck scores of times by bullets from machine guns, and the Nashville suffered to about the same extent. The Windom also had many marks of the fray. Her shell blowing up the lighthouse and scattering the Spaniards in all direc- tions ended the battle
 Boltz and Hendricks, who with four others of the wounded are at the naval hospital here, are expected to die. The remains of Reagan were buried at sea-

He said that at the time he left the lake a bulletin was posted on the board maintained at the hotel for the purpose of bulletining such meager news as reaches the inside con- corning the war, to the effect that the reported drowning had been confirmed. This notice gave the victims as Swift water Bill, Dr. Wolf and two of the girls who accompanied the party.

The Loss of the Enemy Placed at Four Hundred-Our Loss Is
 One Killed. Five Wounded.

KEY WEST, May 14.-Amid ter rife storm of shot from Spanish rifles and batteries the American forces cut the cable at Cienfuegos on Wednesday morning. Four determined boat crews under command of Lieutenant Wins low and Ensign Magruder, from the cruiser Marblehead and the gunboat Nashville, put out from the ships, the coast having previously been shelled. The work of the volunteers was peril ous. The cruiser Marblehead and the gunboat Nashville and the auxiliary cruiser Windom drew up 1000 yards from shore with their guns manned, ready for desperate duty.
 One cable had already been cut and the work was in progress on the other when the Spaniards in rife pits and a battery in an old lighthouse standing out in the bay opened fire. The war ships poured in a thunderous volley, their guns beIching forth massive shells into the swarms of the enemy. The crews of the boats calmly proceeded  standing the fact that a number had fallen, and finished it, returning to the ships through a binding smoke and heavy fire.
 One man in a Marblehead boat was killed and six were seriously wounded, one of whom, Robert Voltz, is now at Key West and is expected to die before morning, a bullet having passed through the base of his brain. Harry Hendrickson, who also may die, was shot through the abdomen.
 More than 1000 infantrymen on shore lets from the machine guns struck the warships hundred times, but did no great damage.
 Commander Maynard, of the gunboat Nashville, was slightly wounded by a rifle bullet that, before striking him, passed through the arm of an ensign whose name is unknown. Lieutenant Winslow was shot in the hand, making three officers wounded in all.
 After all the Spaniards had been driven from the rifle pits, many of them took refuge in the lighthouse fortress, upon which the fire of the ships had been centered. A four-inch shell from the Windom tore the structure to pieces, killing many and burying others In the ruins. The Spanish loss is known to have been very heavy, the warships firing hundreds of shots and shells into their midst.
 Captain Mcguire of the Window be- lieves that several of the six badly wounded men who were brought to Key West this morning on the Windom can- not recover.
 Following is the list of killed and badly wounded:
 Killed:
 PATRICK REGAIN, seaman of the Marblehead.

 JOHN DAVIS of New York.
