a.-via PORT ANTONIO, JAMAICA,
June 1.-Commodore schley determined
to test the batteries Of Santiago de cuba
to-day and ascertain their location and
capacitv. At 10 o'clock he transferred his
flag TO the Massachusetts, and went on
board that ship. At 1l:l0 o'clock the Mas
sachusefts signalled the Iowa and the
New Orleans TO form column and fol-
low. A course due east was steered until
the Sims were about z 900 yards from the
shore and then. circling until they head
ed due west they passed starboard side
on by the forts. The heavy l3-inch guns
Of the Massachusetts and the Z-lnch
guns Of the Iowa were ordered 10 open
on the Cristobal Colon. which was about
1000 to 1000 yards inside the Morro, while
the New Orleans large calbre guns
were TO omen on the fortihcations so as
10 draw their fire. The narrowness of the
harhor entrance and the speed OF the
sbips. which made ten knots, allowed OF
the Cristobal Colon being a target for
only n few minutes. In that time IL Is
believed she was hit twice. but was not
seriously damaged. The entire set OF
forts some six in number. opened nre
tanned. Some Of the modern guns. with
smokeless powder. were aimed we'll but
OF all the shots fred not one did any
damage 10 Commodore Schley's ships
The Cristobal Colon replied TO the fire,
but all OF her shots fell short The
American ships fred not more than four
rounds from their heavy guns consuming
IN all fourteen minutes for the fire.
The Spaniards fred more than one hun
dred rounds keeping up the fire when
the ships were fully two miles out OF
their range.
During the action Commodore Schley
occupled a position near the forward lS-
inch turret OF the Massachusetts and
watched the shells 90 whistling by as the

modore was back on the Brooklyn.
