GUNBOAT DESTROYED.
The Antonio Lopez Blown Into Smith
Greens by the Cruiser New Orleans.

ST. THOMAS, d. w. l., July 16.-The
United States cruiser New Orleans to-day
completely destroyed the Spanish gunboat
Antonio Lopez, whose captain recently ran
his vessel ashore at Saoinas. near San Juan
de Porto Rico, upon being chased by two
American vessels while attempting to enter
San Juan with a cargo of provisions and
war material. The Porto Rican blockade is
being keenly felt at San Juan and the refu-
gees are overcrowding the accommodations
there.
During her service on the blockade the
auxiliary cruiser Yosemite was discovered
to have a fire in her coal bunkers, which
burned for three days. Some repairs to the
vessel will be necessary. The government
will permit her to purchase 500 tons of coal.
The St. Thomas Colonial Bank has, how
ever, refused to accept the Yosemite's
drafts on the United States.
