by the Announcement of Peace.
Key West. Fla. Aug. 1s.-Details
have been received here as to the
bombardment of the port of Caibarien.
on the north coast of the province of
Santa Clara. Cuba. Sunday, by the Man
grove. The Mangrove left here last
week to protect the landing of an expe-
dition under Colsnel Bozas. which had
gone ahead on the schooners Adams and
Dellie- When the Mangrove reached
Santa Maria key. near Caibarien. she
found the Cuban party had safely dis
embarked. but, feared to advance be-
cause of the presence of the Spanish
gunboat Herman Cortes ana a smaller
gunboat. which were evidently making
Caibarien their base. On Saturday aft
ernoon the Manrrove anchored at Key
Francis, just outside Caibarien. and as
she lay there the Herman Cortes came
out and ran around the key TO get a
peep at her. seurrying back into the
harbor soon as she saw she was
discovered.
Mangrove Does "A Bold Thing.
The Mangrove followed as far as the
water would permit. but could only get
about half way into the harbor. Next
morning Captain Stuart, the comman-
DER or the MansrOVe, decided to have a
shot at the gunboats. He was alone,
and the odds against him We're heavy,
but he did a bold thing. Sounding her
way inch by inch the Mangrove crept
along the channel. drawing eight feet
of water in an average depth of eight
and a half, until about 9 o'clock she
sighted both the Spanish gunboats. The
Herman Cortes was anchored near, but
LOCO yards to the right of the town.
with her broadside to the sea. The
small gunboat lay at the wharf.
Dons Were Looking for Trouble.
The Spaniards evidently were antici-
pating a battle. The shore was crowded
with Spaniards-citizens and soldiers
while the roof of every building that
commanded n view of the harbor was
literally covered with people anxious to
see the fight. The Herman Cortes car
ried two4.7-inch guns and four 1-pound-
ers. while her smaller companion was
armed with three 1-pounders and a
Hotchkiss rapid-fire gun. The crews of
both, numbering between seventy-fiVe
and 100 men, could be seen on the decks
Ashore We're several 1-pounder field
pieces, while the Spanish troops were
armed with Mauser rifles. The Man
grove, whose entire battery consists of
two 6-pounders, worked into a range of |
8, 600 yards.
