Manila, on the 1st, in which Admiral
Dewey engaged both the Spanish fleet
and powerful land batteries. There
were two separate attacks, and while

feet suffered considerably in the ter
rife encounter, the reports admit that
the Spanish met with a crushing de-
feat, two of their vessels being burned
or blown up, and others sunk to pre-
vent capture by the Americans.

cablegram from Gen. Blanco, on the

SPAIN HAS GERMANY's EAR.
Berlin Would Rather Accept Spanish As
sumption than Plain Statement of
Facts by Americans.

New YORK, April 3O.-As long as the
fighting in Cuba was between the
Spaniards and the native insurgents
the German press habitually gave no
credence to the official Spanish
reports of Spanish victories, says
the Berlin correspondent of the
World. Now that the choice is be-
tween the acceptance of Spanish OF the
American reports, an ostentatious at
tempt is made here to cast doubt upon
American accounts of events, and &C
cept as veracious the reports from
Madrid.
The National Zeitung says: Neither
the opinion nor the belief of the Amer
lean officers on the results of the bonn
bardment of Matanzas will be accept
ed"
It is amusing to watch the absurd eff
forts of the newspapers here to min
imize the Importance of the American
operations.

AN EVENINGS Diversion.
Admiral Sampson Exercises His
Guns on the Spanish Works
at Fort Cabanas.
He TRIED FIRST TO DRAW MORRO'S FIRE.
The Latter, Apparently, Not in the Humor
for Ball Play, So the Flagship Passed
Along and Found the Gunners at Ca
banas More Accommodating If Less
Discreet-A Few Telling Shots.

ATLANTA, Ga, April 3O.-A special
to the journal from Key West says:
Friday afternoon the flagship New
York, with eight well-dlrected shells
from the six-inch gun on her port bow,
and two from one of the eight-inch
guns in her forward turret, completely
silenced and rendered useless for both
men or guns, two Spanish forts at Fort
Cabanas, IL miles west of Mariel, and
35 miles from Havana. As in the case
of Matanzas, the first shot was fred
by Spaniard.
About noon the New York stea
up the west coast. Following the flag
ship for quite a distance came the
Iowa, Indiana, Helena and torpedo
boats Porter and Ericsson. But after
Havana was passed, where the Helena
went in so close that the crash of gun
from MORO was momentarily expected,
the ships, with the exception of the tor
pedo boats, soon returned to their sta
ton.
Under full head of steam, the flag
ship bowled along until Mariel was
reached. 1t was easy, from aboard the
dispatch boat, without glasses, to see
the commotion raised by the presence
OF the warships in the pretty little viii
lage. The people rushed wildly about,
and small boats quickly put in shore.
But there was no apparent life in either
OF the forts on two hills that covered.
the approach to the harbor.
The Porter steamed within half a
mile of them, and the New York swung
Ielsurely at anchor at mile range.
After Admiral Sampson had sur
veyed Mariel TO his apparent satisfac-
ton, he sent the flagship clipping mer-
rily further up the point.
Again the flagship rode unconcerned-
ly half a mile from the forts, and the
Porter and the Ericsson pushed their
way ahead. Suddenly there was heard
the roar of heavy gun, a puff of
smoke from the shore, and the little
torpedo boat came scurrying back I'M
der the lee of the flagship.
The officers and men disappeared
from the decks of the New York like
magic, and in less time that it takes
to tell it, one six-inch gun from her
bow belched forth
The evening was fading fast. Quick,
good work was necessary Another
shot from the flagship, one more from
shore and the forts guns were silenced.
Three six-inch shells had sufficed.
Five more shots put quietus on the
Notifications. The first shot was fired
at $50. At 6:35 the New York let go
two six-inch shells, one at each
fertilization, to complete the job. There
was no answer from the shore.
Ten minutes later the flagship let go
two of her eight-inch turret guns, and
the shrieking shells left trail of fire
easily seen in the dark shadows of the
evening.
