How the Firing Was Done.

ATLANTA, Ga. April 30.-Port Cabanas,
a small fortified town thirty-tive miles
west of Havana, on the norther" coast
OF Cuba, was fired on by the New York
Friday evening and the fort demolished.
The firing began at G.30 and lasted t.-
teen minutes.
Ten shots were fired from the New
York. The New York and Helena tried
to draw fire from the batteries OF Havana
and Mariel, but failed.
About noon yesterday the New York
steamed up the west coast. Following
the flagship at quite distance came the
Iowa. Indiana, Helena and the torpedo
! boats Porter and Ericsson. After lIa-
vana was passed, where the Helena went
in 50 close that a shot from Moro was
I momenta;'ily expected, the ships, ex-
cept the torpedo boats, returned to their
station.
Under full head OF steam the flag
ship bowlcd along until Mariel was
reached. 1t was easy, from aboard the
dispatch boat without glasses, to see
the colnlnotion which the presence Of
the warslIips caused in the pretty little
village.
II people rushed wildly about and
small boats quickly put in shore. But
there was no apparent life in either of
the forts Oh the two hills that ,mmand
the approaches to the harbor. rhe Por-
ter steamed within half mile OF them,
and the New York swung leisuyly at

Her first stopping place was Mariel, in

of Havana, for the supposed purpose OF

New York steamed to within l,lO0 yards
OF the forts.
NIariel remained silent, however, and
the New York proceeded to "a point a
thousand yards off Puerto Cabanas,
which is about ten miles beyond Mariel.
The fort Immediately began firing, and
the New York approached to within
seven hundred and fifty yards of the
shore batteries.
Although several shots were fired from
the shore, none hit the vessel. 1t was a

believed to be from rapid-firing guns.

The reports Of the. several powder mills
going up i'll this country have given rise
to the rumor that Spanish spies were in
Wilmington with the avowed purpose of
learning the lay OF the dupont Powder
Works. So startling were the rumors
this morning that it was said that
Spanish spy was arrested while lettering
around the place Friday night. The re-
port was subsequently, found to be false.
Eugene DUPONT, when interviewed,
sald there were no grounds for suspicon
that spies were around the mills, aud
that he had taken no precautlon tn in
crease the number of watchmen, DEEM
ing it unnecessary, as the force OF men
now on are fully able to protect the place
from harm.
1t was also said that tie firm had
asked for force of National Guardsmen
to watch the place, but This, too, was
denied.
Despite the denials, it was earned,
however, that it was the intention of
the firm to ask for Il detachment of the
guard to watch the place.
Several tests of powder were made at
the yards in order to discover Il new
process for It's manufacture. The firm
has increased its force OF watchmen at
its jersey works, and every workman
has been instructed to take every pre-
caution in his work. The duPonts mean
to take no chances, and everything will
be guarded secretly and no one will be
allowed, no matter what may be his
business, to enter the place.

are flying thick and fast, but no infor-

and the hurry order was issued tonight

The government obtains all its sup

and now that the others have been de-
