Americans Two mCn have been killed
and eight wounded. The Spanish loss
is 400.
The action took place of Colorados
Point Light at the entrance Of Glen
fuegos Bay on Wednesday. 1t began
with the firing of shells by the Marble
head and Nashville in the early morn
ing.
About 5 o'clock two boats were sent
out from each of these ships with Crap
pling irons and other necessary ,ap-
paratus for cutting the cable. There
was no firing from shore for two hours.
while the cruisers and Window kept
up fire.
The small boats got within about
twenty-five yards of the shore and sue
ceeded in graphing the cable. Before
they let go they had cut out section
and accomplished their purpose Of
stopping the cables usefulness.
1t was determined some time ago to
cut the Spanish cable out of Cienfue-
gos and thus prevent the movements OF
the American ships on that side being
made known TO Madrid. The task WAS
assigned 10 the three cruisers meu-
toned, and on Wednesday they drew
in close to shore. They made out a
new fortification at the entrance TO
Clepfuegos Bay and the Window, un-
der Captain Mcclure, engaged the bat
tories.
At 1000 yards the fort opened fire.
The Window replied with her big TO-
ward rifle and inside of 4 few minutes
left the Notifications nothing but q
mass of ruins.
The Nashville and the Marblehead in
the meantime had sailed in close and
made every effort TO draw the fire from
what masked batteries the Spanish
might have. One battery was visible
at the apex Of the bay and into this
shot and shell We're poured.
Under cover of the cannonade the
Nashville and Marblehead launched
boats, and their crew pulled into where
the cable took off. By dint of rare
courage they cut the cable and started

furious havoc with Cardenas harbor

stroyed two other torpedo destrcyers.
We were In vortex of shot, shell and
smoke, and could not tel! accurately,
but saw one of their boats on fire and
sinking, soon after the action began.
Then a large building near the
wharf, l think the barracks, took fire
and many other buildings We're soon
burning. The Spanish had masked
batteries on all sides of us. As soon as
we got within range of their batteries
they would move them. l think their

The profound impression produced
when two hundred and sixty sailors
perished with the warship Maine is
contrasted by a Chicago paper with
the apathy of the people over the an
nuai loss of four thousand lives be-
cause Of the contaminated water sup
ply of that city. This gives the Union
Signal occasion to call the attention OF
the American public to the annual sac
rifice of a hundred thousand lives by
the use of more dangerous kinds of
drink. We may take wider view still.
In the whole United States, the num-
Der Of deaths per annum is about eight
cen hundred thousand. According to
the estimate of physicians, more than
half, or nearly million, die from
.'preventable causes" Civilization has
on its hands a tolerably big contract,
If it is to save its own children from

Washington. May 14.-Detinite Off
clal Information reached the authori-
Ties here late this afternoon that the
Spanish squadron has been sighted on
the island OF Curacao, one OF the
Dutch West Indies, lying or the north
coast of Venezuela. This Information
was regarded as OF vital Importance,
as it not only fixed the position OF the
enemy, but disclosed the purpose of
the Spanish admiral to elude Admiral
Sampson's fleet and make his way
through the Caribbean, probably TO
Cuba. The island of Curacao was orig
inally Spanish, and is peOpled mainly
by descendants OF Spaniards, though
IL is now one of the Dutch possessions.
The Spanish admirars course was also
influenced by the fact that the French
cable. starting from Caracas. Venezue-
In. touches at the island of Curacao,
thence proceeds nor;hward through the
Caribbean TO Hayti. with spurs run
ming east and west to Porto Rico and
Cuba respectively. He is thus enabled
TO get In touch from Curacao with the
Spanish authorities in Cuba and Porto
Rico, and through them directly with
the Spanish admiralty at Madrid.
No immediate battle with Admiral
Sampson's feet is expected. and the
Spaniards, us seem likely, have sue
ceeded in passing south of the Ameri-
can fleet and are now well to the
westward of It

Spanish Spies are Believed to Have

SANTA CKUZ, April 2o.-As the re-
suit of the explosion at the mills of
the California Powder Company, thir-
teen men are now known to have lost
their lives. But eight bodies were
recovered on the day of the disaster,
but late that night two more were
found, and since then three addition
al corpses have been brought to light
The strange part of the situation is
that but ten men are missing One of
the other three, it is asserted, is the
man who destroyed the works.
EASTON, Pa, April 2S.-The Allan
tic Powder Company's works, situat-
ed near Dover, n. j., blew up this af-
ternoon. Six men were killed out
right and four were wounded. A large
amount of ammunition ready for i'm
mediate shipment and ordered by the
government was destroyed. There is
an impression that the explosion was
caused by. carelessness.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 29.-The be-
lief is growing stronger that the eX-
plosion at Santa Cruz was the work
of Spanish spies. From all parts of
the country comes evidence that Spain
has her agents in this country secret
ly furnishing her with information as
to the sea coast Notifications and the
military and naval movements and
plans. One was captured near New
Orleans while trying tn get out of
the country. He had in his possession
photographs and detailed descriptions
of the defenses at the mouth of the
Mississippi. He will be tried as a
