MADRID EXCITED.
Anxiety relt Previous to the BattIe.

MADRID, May -, 10: 80 a. m.-There
is great excitement here among public
officials over the arrival of the Spanish
fleet at Martinique. 1t is said the ships
went there on purpose to coal and that
two large transatlantic steamers loaded
with coal were awaiting them at Fort
de France. Another object of the call
of the Spanish fleet at Martinique is
to communicate with the Spanish
Government and ascertain the where
abouts of the American fleet. Admiral
Carvera now knows everything which
has transpired since his departure
from the Cape Verde Islands, and he
has full instructions as TO his future
movements. The fleet will leave
Martinique Immediately for an I'M
known destination and some days may
elapse before the Spanish ships are
aoain heard from. Great anxiety has
been experienced in official circles here
since the receipt of the news
of the bombardment of San Juan
de Porto Rico by Rear Admiral Samp-
sons fleet

KEY WEST, May l4.-There was an
action Wednesday off Calovodos point
on which is located the lighthouse tc
the entrance of Cienfuegos bay.
The action was inaugurated at about
3 o'clock in the morning when the
Marblehead, Window and Nashville,
which had taken advantageous posi-
tons, began firing shells into the fort
ifications.
Under cover of the fire from the gun
boats a cutter from each equipped
with graphing irons and the necessary
apparatus were sent out for the pur-
pose of cutting the cable. When the
cutters left there was no more firing
from the shore and after about two
hours work, during which the small
boats ran within % yards of the shore,
they succeeded in cutting section of
the cable and rendering the line use
less.
The crews of the small boats had
hardly completed their work when the
shore batteries and company of in
fantry opened fire on them and there
was a lively hustle to pull the boats
out of range.
The fight was kept up between the
gunboats and the shore batteries and
the Spaniards must have suffered con-
siderable loss as the well-aimed shells
from the Marblchead and Nashville
coull be seen TO explode inside the
fortifications.
One American seaman killed and
six severely wounded.
The gunboats were not materially
damaged although the tall smoke
stacks of the Nashville were shot full
of holes and number of men were
wounded.
The captain of the Nashville re-
ceived a slight wound in the chest
from flying splinter and rifle bullet
hit the lieutenant commander of the
Window in the hand.

Spanish Torpedo Boat Disabled

WASHINGTON, May 15.-Secretary
Long authorized the publication of the
statement that the torpedo boat Terror,
belonging to the Spanish fleet, was
disabled at Port of France, Martinique.
The despatch is as follows:
Spanish torpedo boat Terror dis
abled at Port of France, Martinique
There was disposition among some
of those who saw this statement to re-
gard it with suspicion, suggesting that
the report of disability was intended
simply as a blind and that the Spanish
government had caused it to be spread
so that no complaint could be made to
France on account of the stay of the
boat at a neutral port. None of the
officials, however. would express
themselves on the subject.

ANOTHER CUBAN FIGHT.
The Gussie Lands Her Cargo After a
Skirmish.

KEY WEST, FLA, May -, z :05 a. m.-
The transport steamer Gussie, which
left here with big expedition for
Cuba on Wednesday night, had live
ly engagement with the Spaniards at
Cabanas. province of Pinar Del Rio,
yesterday, but succeeded in accom-
plishing her mission. The Gussie car
ried 900 rifles and large quantity
of ammunition intended for the Gu
bans. The expedition was directed by
Capt. j. ii. Dorst of the United States
cavalry, who took with him over one
hundred members of the first infantry
and ten Cuban scouts.
After rongh voyage the Gussie was
met off the Cuban coast by the auxil-
iary gunboats Wasp and Manning,
who escorted her in. AS they APP
preached the shore a large body OF
Spanish soldiers opened fire upon the
expedition and the gunboats replied
with effect, enabling the expedition to
land. On shore the battle was re-
newed. The Spanish troops had re-
tired to their works and the woods
and directed constant but inaccurate
fire upon the landing party. The lat
ter was reinforced later by body of
armed insurgents, who had been in
formed of the coming expedition.
Then, assisted by the fire OF the gun
boats, the Spanish force was compelled
to withdraw and the mission of the
Gussie was accomplished. One of the
American party was shot in the arm.
The Spanish loss is not known, but
must have been heavy.
