|THE -FOUR EXCITING WAR EVENTS OF THE PAST SEVEN Days.
CUT THE CABLES.
Work Done by Our Bold Sailors Amid
Storm of Lead.

Amid a perfect storm of shot from
Spanish rifles and batteries the Amer

termined boat crews, under command
Of Lieutenant Winslow and Ensign
Magruder from the cruiser Marble

of the volunteers was perilous. The
cruiser Marblehead and the gunboat
Nashville and the auxiliary cruiser
Window drew up 1000 yards from
shore with their guns manned ready
for desperate duty.
One cable had already been cut
and the work was in progress on the
other when the Spanish in the rife
pits and a battery in an old light
house standing out in the bay opened
fire. The warships poured in
thunderous volley, their guns belch
ing forth massive shells into The
swarms of the enemy. The crews O

fact that number had fallen, anC

the fight. The Waumpautuck went
ahead and anchored her small boat
to the westward, showing 10 fathoms
of water but there was not - sign OF
life from the fort whica stood boldly
against the sky on the eastern hill.

FOUGHT THREE.
Winslow Whipped Three Spanish
Boats but met Disaster Four
Days Later.

The torpedo boat Winslow en-
gagged three Spanishg gunboats off
Cardenas bay, she disabled one and
came out unscratched.
Lieutenant Bornado, Ensign Bag
ley and the men of the Winslow,
thought odds Of three to one fair
one and their 1-pouuders fair match
for the Spanish aggregation of g.
Founders. 1t was brilliant minor
engagement.
The Winslow and the gunboat Ma
chias were on the blockade off Carde
mas. The Machias stood away to the
eastward for jaunt and the Wins
low was left alone to maintain the
blockade
Tue Winslow steamed in nearly to
the range buoy, when the gunboats
slipped their cables and ran to their
safety limit The 6-pounders were
trained at 1000 yards In Il few
minutes shore signals told the Span
iards that the torpedo boat was in
range The 6-poundels cracked and
three shells threw water spouts
around the Winslow But she was
not struck. Instead of running
away, she drove ahead, attacking the
boats.
Lieutenant Bornado no sooner saw
the first white smoke putting from
the Spanish guns than he gave the
word and two forward 1-pounders
dropped shells into the middle of the
hotilla On plunged the Winslow tc
within 1900 yards of the gunboats,
while the row raised by the rapid fire
1-pounders was like q rafting tattoo
The Spanish were apparently stag
gercd at this fierce onslaught single
handed and fired wildly.
The Winslow now swung aroun(
broadside to bring her two after gum
to bear, as the Spanish fleet scattered
and lost formation.
The Winslow soon maneuvered SC
that she was peppering all three boat
at once. The sea was very heavy an'

Berlin, Jan. 5.-The Cologne Ga

formed quarters in Paris, announces
that since Thursday last important
negotiations have been proceeding In
London for Chinese loan the at
tcmpts made In Paris and st. Peters
burg to arrange a loan having failed.
China thereupon offered TO contract for
416,000,000 in London, and at the
SINE time asked the good offices OF
the British government. China, 1t APP
pears, contemplates offering as securi-
ty the land tax under control OF Eng

maritime customs. In addition, Great
Britain will insist upon q concession
OF territory, relative to which secrecy.

offer TO China, TO conclude loan in
