Astoria, Ore. Dec lS.-The United
States revenue cutter Commodore Perry,
which left this city Saturday morning for
Portland, struck on a rock near St. Hell
ems in a thick fog. The Perry lies On the
rock amidships on the starbOArd side, and
is slightly listed. The steamers Telephone
and Undine attempted to pull the revenue
cutter off the rock. but were not sue
cessful. At high tide tonight, it is thought
the steamer Undine will succeed in pulling
the Perry of. The rock on which the
Perry lies is on the edge of the channel.
and one of a group in that vicinity.

BEST PRIZES CAPTURED.

Fleet Off Havana Not Likely to Get Many
On BOARD FLAGSHIP NEW YORK, OFF
HAVANA, April 2S.-The flagship New
York spent the night patrolling the
coast from point west of Havana to
within 10 miles of Matanzas on the
east. Tha general belief is that the
cream of the prizes has been taken and
that not many more Spanish merchant
vessels will venture into these waters.
The Associated Press correspondent
had an interview with Rear Admiral
Sampson in the admiral's cabin on the
flagship. The admiral insisted that
nothing he said should be published
except in so far as he expressed salts
faction with the conduct of the
blockade. ...
OF course the absorbing topic from
admiral to coal passer is, when do we
take Havana? One could not help
thinking when lying near shore how
easy it would be to land troops at
particular point or at hundreds of 9TH
ers on the coast. The toy forts on the
hills would not frighten battalion of
school cadets, and the water is deep
enough to allow the warships to cover
landing from close in.

gained in this city, is received with
good deal OF chagrin and indigna-
tion. A good per cent of the member
ship of the company formerly belong
ed to company f. with Capt. Com
stock, for long time commander Of
that company, as it's captain, and
nearly every officer under him an.old
time member of the guard. The COM
pany today is as we'll, if not better,
drilled in military tactics as the ma
jority of the companies in any Of the
three regiments of the state militia,
and application for enlistment in the
first call for volunteers was made to
Governor Clough several days ago,
even, before his excellency received
orders from the war department.. The
company has an enrollmenti of up.
wards Of lis, and from this quota a
hundred men could be selected unsur-
passed by any company in the state
for physical strength. mental de-
velOpment and genuine sSpatriotism.
Instead OF accepting sthes 'Mankato
boys. who were fully organized, off,
cered and we'll drilled, the governor
waits for two or threei towns until
they can enlist their quota of wholly
raw recruits, and then accepts their
applications ahead Of and to the ex-
clusiOn of the Mankato company.
There are people in this meek O.
woOd'' who insist thai the governor
has it in for Mankato on account of
the recent conference and has taken
this opportunity to square things.
But we should really dislike to believe
that Mr.. ClOugh is so narrow between
the eyes as to do anything Of this
kind albeit it is hard to explain his
action on any other ground. And,
again, there is strong feeling that
the governor and some Of his advisers
who are preparing the slate for the
next state convention have run a
whole lot of politics and faYoritism
into this matter. 1t can hardly be
possible that this is true, although it
must be confessed that some such con
struction could easily be placed on his
conduct toward Maukato in several
ways. But it should be borne in mind
that the supply of volunteers is
already far in excess of the demand,
and there must be disappointments.
1t is easy to charge the executive of
state with sins of omission and COM
mission, but it were more charitable to
excuse on the ground of supply and
demand. 1t may be those who have
been unable to serve their country on
the first call will yet be summoned.

New York, Puritan and Gin

Eighteen Minutes.
SPANISH GUNNERY WILD
Fired Numerous Shots at the
Fleet but Not a VeS-
sci Was Struck.
Great Damage Done on Shore
and the Loss of Life
May Be Large.

OFF MATANZAs ION board the flag
ship New York;, April 2S.-The New
York, the Puritan and the Cincinnati
bombarded the forts at the south of
Natanzas harbor during the afternoon.
There were no casualties on our side,
but is believed that the hail of iron
which pounded in the forts must have
caused loss of life to the Spaniards,
though nothing is known definitely.
The engagement commenced at 1857
and ceased at 1:l5. The object of the
attack was to prevent the completion of
the earthworks at Punta Gorda A
battery on the eastward arm of the bay
opened fire on the flagship and this
was also shelled. About IL 5-inch
shells were fired from the eastern forts,
but all fell short. About five or six
light shells were fired from the half
completed battery. Two OF these
whizzed over the New York and one
fell short. The ships left the bay for
the open sea, the object of discovering
The " hereaDOuts OF the baCCeTIeb
having been accomplished. In the
neighborhood of 300 shots were put on
land from the three ships at range of
from 1000 10 1000 yards.

If he was satisfied with the result, said:

The half completed Spanish earth
works and battery were apparently all
ploughed up by the shells.
All the ships engaged showed excel
lent craftsmanship throughout the en-.
gagement, and when they were firing
at the shortest range nearly every shell
took effect. The forts which were
bombarded were on a low lying point
and were considered merely earth.
works. They did not make good
target, yet when the big guns were
fred at the shortest range portions of
the forts could be seen flying in the air
at every shot.
The flagship returned to Havana and
the Puritan and Cincinnati were left
ON Matanzas station.

THROUGH MANKATO.
Troops Will Pass Tomorrow Morning on
Their Way to st. Paul.

Early risers will see troops pass
through Mankato tomorrow morn
ing on their way to the rendezvous at
st. Paul. The St. James and Worth
ington companies will go through on
the APO a. m. train, and the new Blue
Earth City company on the 700 a. IN.
train. There will probably be
a crowd at the union depot
to see the boys 60 through.
Lieut.. Col. @. E. Johnson goes to st.
Paul tomorrow morning and will not
return to Mankato before going east
with the troops. He desires to take
forty men with him from Mankato to
use in filling up the Zumbrota and
other companies Of the Third regi'
ment. Whether he will get these de-
ponds upon what the prospect is TO-
night of the Mankato company get
ting into one of the regiments. Ii the
company learns finally that it cannot
get in, then Col. johnson will prob
ably have no trouble in getting as
many men as he wants.
A large number Of the Mankato
company want to 90 to the front, and
are not particular how they go so long
as they get there. They would prefer
to 60 with the Mankato company, but
if this cannot be, they are willing to
60 with any other company that needs
recruits and will take them. Five Of
these young men have agreed
among themselves to join the st.
James company as it goes through to-
morrow morning if they cannot go
any other way. A telegram has been
received from Capt. Griswold, of the
St. James company, saying that the
five men will be accepted.
There is believed to be one more
