DIXIE IN ACTIVE SERVICE.
Maryland Naval Reserves Doing Liyel,
SkirmiSh Work

| A'assA y'o1AN 4SaFdi IbeStiVoS DOlNS Lively
Skirmish Work.
KEY WEST. FLA. July 1e.-The
Maryland naval reserves on the gun
boat Dixie, under command of Com
mander Davis are doing lively Skin
mlsh work on the south coast of Cuba
killing Spaniards. chasing gunboats
topping over blockhouses and cantur
ing prizes.
The Dixie left the main body Of the
fleet about June 90 and took a blockad-
ing station between Cape Cruz and the
Isle Of Pines. The first thing she did
was to destroy a blockhouse AT the
mouth of San Juan river. The same
day she drew In to inflict a like pun
ishment on another blockhouse at the
mouth OF Guanayra river not far from
the first. AS she approached, dozen
or more Spaniards were seen to run
into the blockhouse. apparently with
the intention Of firing upon her. The
Dixie pumped two or three 6-inch shells
at it, struck it fairly and the block
house was soon out of Commission. No
Spaniards emerged from the house.
AT this point three Cubans were taken
aboard and they informed Commander
Davis that his guns had done better
service than he had though, as the two
destroyed blockhauses had long pre-
vented communication between the in
surgents on the opposite side of Trlni-
dad. The Dixie then proceeded to Ca
she encountered the Spanish gunboats.
One was the Fernando ell Catolico, said
to have been new boat in the last
war. but now apparently carrying only
one gun. The enemy made frantic eff
forts to reach the Dixie with this, but
came no nearer than half mile. FL
nally the Dixie put a shell straight at
the solitary gun and sent it skyward.
This was done at a range Of 1880 yards
In addition to dismounting the gun the
upper works Of the Spaniard were bad
~ damaged. The other gunboat was
not identified. She too. fired at the
Dixie. but fell short by 400 yards. A
few 6-inch shells. though they did not
reach her served as a sufficient warn
ing to silence her.
incidentally the DIXIE also routed a
body of Spanish cavalry at San Juan
de Cuba a day or two before the Flor
ida and Fanita expeditions attempted
landing there. A few days later she
captured the Three Bells and Pilgrim.

KEY WEST. FLA. July 1a.-Thr
Spanish transatlantic liner S'lndo-
mngo Of $500 tons. was totally dcs-
troyed by the little auxiliary Gunboat
Eagle on July 1. OFF Caue Francis.
This Intelligence was brought here to-
day by the Nashville. which came mp
after the attack and found the Spanish
ship burned and smashed on the reefs.
The affair offers Il striking common
tary on the difference between Amcri-
can and Spanish spirit. The Sando-
1ningo has two 5-ineh guns mounted
and loaded. her magazines were open
and it only remained t. train her guns
and fire them to blow the Eagle out or
the sea. But the latter. with her com
paratively feeble battery of 6-pound-
ers. steamed to within two miles OF
the enemy and pounded shot after shot
into her. until she turned, and in des-
perate attempt to get into the narrow
channel. grounded on the reef without
having tried to. return the American
fire.
Seventy shots We're fired by the I1a-
gle and nearly all of them took effect.
When the Spanish ship went ashore
q river steamer came out and took off
her officers and crew. Then the Eagle
sent a crew 10 board her, and there
we're shouts OF surprise when the big
guns were discovered. She also carried
in her hold two 12-inch guns
The cargo was largely of grain and
food supplies. Seventy mead OF cattle
were penned an the decks The Ea-
giles crew decided she was too far gone

tile watched her destruction.
