the Batteries.
Key West. May THE torpedo boat
Dupont came in tonight and reported
a sharp engagement of Matanxas last
night and this morning. The Dupont
and the auxiliary cruiser Hornet were
cruising neal the shore last night, n
when about 900 yards from land were
fred upon by a body of cavalry about
200 strong, which was spread along the
shore on the lookout for flibusters.
According to the Dupont's story, both
vessels returned the fire. scattering the
Spanish troops, and then bombarded
the Mantanzas Notifications. These
were in the nature of sand block
houses, nine i'm number. The lombard
ment lasted from 4 o'clock to $3.50. The
Dupont men say that their shells top
pied over the b~arricades in course of
erection, and they are sure that many
of the Spanish soldiers were killed, as
they afterwards saw wagons taking
away dead or wounded. The survi-
vors fled to the hills.
This morning the MatanZas fortifica-
tons opened fire, sending three eight
inch shells at the Dupont and Hornet.
They were lint shots. but the boats had
got out Of range. The Dupont n
Hornet then esumed the lombard
ment, and continued 1t until $3.50
O'Clock. The Dupont men think they
have effectually silenced what the big
feet left Of the Notifications there. and
that in the two engagements the boats
fired about 200 shots.

CROWNS MORE SERIOUS
Great Distress Prevailing on the
leland of Porto Rico.
AN UPRISING IS FEARED
Tho Annexationists Are Daily DROWN
in Powsr-Anxiously Awaiting TIE
Arrival o: the Fleet and
American Troops.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
st. Thomas, Danish West Indies.
May 2.-Matters at Porto Rico are
growing daily more serious. Refugees
who have reached here from the Span
ish island say that great distress pre-
walls there. As nc news has been CIV
en- u on that island the residents Of
Porto Rico implore their friends here
to keep them posted on current events.
The Spanish government has stopped
all code messages, and communication
of any kind is most difficult.
1t Ia now said that the annexation
lists are growing daily In numbers. and
that the revolutionary. party of Porto
Rico is awaiting the arrival Of the first
American roops or the blockading of
the ports to rise against the Spanish
government.
Military activity at q Jua de
Porto Rico and at other places con-
tinues undated. Volunteers are being
armed in large numbers n It IL re-
ported some 10000 men have been
armed, the arms in a great many cases
falling into the hands of the revolu-
tionists, who are only awaiting the
signal to active operations
against the Spanish troops.
Food prices continue to advance. less
business Is done each day. m the
Porto Ricans are e~xpectant. panicky
and fearful. while h Spanish oficials
are sending troops to the seaboard to
| repel possible invaders. M at the
same time they are compelled to send
troops into the interior to hold down
the people OF the island.
The information concerning TIE coal
supply of Porto Rico is vague and con-
fiicting. There appears. however, to be
about 10000 tons of coal on the island
owned by Spain. and probably about
as much more owned by private CAPT.
talists. But these figures are merely
estimates and based on contradictory
statements.
Since the application OF martial law
to Porto Rico it has been difficult for
people to leave that island. though
there are doubtless VINO are at
tempting to get away. There appears
to be no protection for American citi-
zens and no way for them to escape
from the island. France mas sent a
warship to San Juan. A German war
ship is expected and possibly a British
warship may visit a Juan de Porto
| Rico.

Stringtown, Tyler county, W.

considerable Importance has sprung
into existence within the past few
months. Remarkable as it seems,
it is in Tyler county, and the rail.
road center Is Sistersville. What
was termed Stringtown six months
ago was merely a few Struggling
oil country shanties scattered about
the hills and hollows. and at most
would not have exceeded a dozen
buildings.
Since April Ist It's growth has
been phenomenal and at the present
time seventeen new buildings are
going up and many more are con-
templated. While these buildings
are not expensive yet they are sub
stantial and are Of modern archi-
lecture.
This boom for the suburbs of Sis
tersville vas occasioned by the
large am cunt of work that the
South Penn Oil company are do
ing. They have work mapped for
the summer the expense of which
will reach the enormous total of
more than one million dollars. The
town today has 81 business houses
as follows:
Seven hotels, three livery stables,
two hardware stores, two machine
shops, two shoe shops, FIVE grocer
les, four saloons, two meat markets,
one drug store, one tailor shop, one
news depot.
Our correspondent writes that all
that is now needed to make the
