The New Ministry.

Madrid, May 12.-According to the last
forecast. the new ministry will consist
of Senor Sagasta. PRESIDENT Sisoner
Coroissarl, minister OF justice of the
present cabinet. as minister of foreign
affairs; Senor Aunon, as minister of ma
rine; Senor Romero Giron, as minister
of justice. and the Duke of Veragua,
minister of public works.
The whereabouts of the Atlantic
squadron still remain undivulged, the
minister of marine refusing to give any
information on the subject. Official dis
patches from Havana confirm the re-
ports of an American repulse at Glen
fuegoes. They assert that the firing
lasted eight hours and that the Ameri-
can losses were heavy. According to the
dispatches, great enthusiasm prevails in
Cuba.

with the surgeon bending over him told
the story OF the battle to the represen-
tative of the associated press as calm
ly as IL talking Of the weather. He
began: We went under full speed to
attack the Spanish boats in the har-
Dor, and you know the result We
went under orders from the commander
or the Wilmington. Our boat Is bad
ly damaged, but she will be brought
here for repairs. and I think she will
be ready for service again in two
weeks"
Continuing. the lieutenant said: The
Winslow was the worst injured, and had
five of her men killed. and / don't know
how many injured. We were ordered
to attack the Spanish gunboats at Car
denas. We steamed in under full head
and were fired upon as soon as We were
in range. The batteries on shore also
opened on US. and | think we received
most of the fire. | don't know whether
any one was hurt on the Wilmington
or the Hudson. but I think not.

Wnslow's crew. They acted nobly all
the way through. The men who We're
killed fell at the same time. We were
standing IN "A group, ana the aim or the
Spanish was perfect. A shell burst in

The Winslow's dead are now lying at
an undertaking establishment. They
were taken there yesterday in rough
wagons, still covered by the stars and
stripes. The rude conveyance was fol-
lowed by a large crowd. and all day
long the doors of the shop have been
surrounded by large gathering. Nav
al officers. marines and sailors came
there TO look upon the faces of their
dead comrades.
Some of the bodies show fearful
wounds. Ensign Bagley was literally
torn to pieces. His body will be EN-
balmed and shipped home. Oiler
Varvers had his throat cut open by
sharp piece of the shell. which appar-
emily severed his windpipe as il slashed

AT 2:35 a solid shot crashed into the
hull of the Winslow and Knocked out
her boiler. In a moment she began To
roll and rock helplessly. Then there
was "A moment of awful suspense. a
fierce cheer OF triumph went up from
the spanish on the gunboats and in the
batteries. and again a storm of fire was
opened upon the helpless boat. The
gunboat Hudson. lying near. started 10
the assistance of the Winslow. She
ran alongside the torpedo boat and
tried 10 throw a line to the impe rilled
crew. Up TO this time. with the ex-
ception of the one shot which disa bled
the boilers of the winslow. the firing of
the Spanish gunboats had been wild.
but as the Winslow lay rolling in the
water the range grew closer and shells
began to explode all about her.
IL was difficult for the Hudson to get
fire all about her. Finally. after about
twenty minutes, the Hudson approached
near enough to throw line.
Bagley and six men were standing in
a group on the deck of the winslow
ready to catch a rope. A line was
thrown. and about the same instant a
shell burst in the very midst of the
group OF men aboard the winslow.
Bagley was instantly killed. and a few
others dropped about him. Half a
dozen more fell groaning on the blood
stained deck. one OF the men plunged
headlong over the side Of the boat. but
his feet caught in the iron rail- and
he was hauled back Bagley's body
was stretched on the deck. with his face
completely torn away. and the upper
part of his body shattered.
When the she'll burst in the group on
board the Winslow another wild shout
of triumph went up from the Spanish
boats and batteries, and again a heavy
fire was opened on the torpedo boat.
Finally the Hudson succeeded in get
ting a line on board the winslow and
was towing her out OF deadly range
when the line parted, and again both
boats were at the mercy of the Spanish
fire
At SOS y. m. the Hudson managed TO
get another line on the deck of the

was towed To Pedras island. where her

Ensign Bagley was appointed from

engagement took place inside the har-
Dor of Cardenas. The gunboat Will

gunboat Hudson were the only vessels
engaged. They entered the harbor for
the purpose Of attacking some Spanish
gunboats known to be there. These lat
ter. however. were not discovered by
the American force until the Spaniards
opened fire. The land batteries of Car
denas supported the fire Of the Spanish
gunboats. The engagement commenced
at 2:05 y. M. and lasted for about an
hour. The battle. while ii lasted. was
terrific. The Wilmington and Hudson
were ahead. and opened fire on the
Spanish boats. which were lying at the
dock. Firing began at a range of $500
yards. A few minutes later the Wins
low came up and opened fire. In an
instant the entire attention of the
Spanish gunboats and land batteries
was directed upon her. and from all
sides shot and shell poured in on the
little torpedo boat. The Wilmington
and Hudson still kept up their fire.
