Terrific Battle off Cardenas.

KEY WEST, May 12.-The fight
off Cardenas harbor was one of the
most terrific in history. 4@ It lasted an
hour. All the Spanish guns wore
turned on the Winslow and the
vessel was in perfct rain of shells.
The Winslow fought oousageousiy.

- ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
The battle, while it lasted, was
terrific. The Wilmington and the
Hudson were ahead and opened fire
on the Spanish boats which were
lying at the docks. The firing began
at range of $500 yards. ..
A few minutes later the Winslow
came up and also opened fire. In an
instant the entire attention of the
Spanish gunbaats and the land bat
teries was directed upon her. From
all sides shot and shell seemed to
pour in upon the little torpedo boat.
The Wilmington and the Hudson
still kept up their fire, but they could
not turn aside the terrible storm of
fire and death pouring in upon the
torpedo boat. The crew Of the
Winslow, however, never faltered
for second. At 2.35 p. m. q solid
shell crushed into tho hull Of the
Winsiow and knocked out her boiler
In an instant she began to roll and
drift helplessly.
The Winslow was completely dis.
ablcd.
There is no confirmation of the
fight at Cienfugos nor is the report
denied.
