Naval Battle at Cienfuegos.

The U. $. warships Nashville, Mar
blehead, Montgomery and Window were
sent to Cienfuegos to cut the Spanish
cable there. AS the cruisers APP
preached the bay. the new fort at the
entrance opened fire The Window re-
piled and soon the Notifications were
a mass of ruins. The Nashville and
Marblehead, meantime, had endeavored
to draw the fire of the masked batter
les. The Spaniards refused to UNI
mask, however, and under cover OF
cannonading the Nashville and Mar
blehead launched their boats and the
crews pulled into shore where the
cable landed, cut the cable and started
back. Then the masked batteries on
either side of the harbor opened mer-
ciless fire of shrapnel. The boats were
riddled and the occupants thrown
struggling in the water. This was
Nashville and the Marblehead rained
shot and shell on the masked batteries.
Every shot went true and earthworks,
guns and Spaniards were seen flying
in the air, as each shell burst. The
Marblehead lowered boats and picked
up the men struggling in the water.
Six of them were wounded. Two bod
les were also recovered.
The ships then bombarded the city
and created fearful havoc. Capt. May
nard, of the Nashville. barely escaped
a solid shot, but the missile glanced
and inflicted only a slight wound.
Eight Americans were wounded in the
engagement. two of whom died. The
Cienfuegos lighthouse was destroyed,
one fort was leveled, the arsenal was
blown up, and the town set on fire.
The Spanish loss was over 400.

The WinsIow and Her Dead Avenged.
The gunboat Wilmington returned to
Cardenas and terribly avenged the de-
struction of the torpedo boat Winslow
and the killing of five Americans, by
attacking the masked batteries of the
Spaniards. In So minutes the batteries
were silenccd and portion of the town
burned and when a landing party eX-
plored the shore the mangled bodies OF
nearly 1870 Spaniards were found, and
il is thought that at least 300 were
killed in the town. All the damage
the Spaniards inflicted upon the Will
mington in return was to make two
slight dents in her side. The ligh
house and the signal station on Diana
Cay were destroyed, the station being
burned by n landing party from the
Machias The Wilmington entered the
harbor of Cardenas and steamed to and
fro slowly, and fred shot into the
town as fast as the men could handle
the guns. Every time she turned she
let the Spaniards have an entire broad
side. Many of the Wilmington's shells
went over the land defenses and ripped
their way into the town. Fires started
in many parts Of the city and for half
the night the flames Redeemed the sky
The men of the Wilmington examined
the entrance to Cardenas harbor for
evidence of sunken mines, but found
that the only submarine defenses were
two schooners sunk in the channel
