Stones, Earth and Abattais Thrown
High in the Air.
NEW YORK MADE A TARGET.
Spaniards Were Getting Her Range
Toward the Close.

Key West, April 2S.-The bombardment
of the forts of Matanzas by the United
States cruiser New York, the flagship of
Rear Admiral Sampson; the monitor Puri-
tan and the cruiser Cincinnati is eagerly
discussed here, and every incident of the
affair is weighed and reweighed by army
and navy officers and the newspaper men.
From the the fact that the Spaniards
opened fire on our ships while the latter
were making a reconnaissance in force,
and when the vessels were nearly five
miles out from the batteries, leads to the
belief that the enemy believes that all
was necessary to induce the United States
fleet to move further away was for the
batteries to open fire on them; but if from
former experience they had reached this
conclusion, they found that forbearance
had reached the limit, and they must have
been intensely astonished when the New
York, being the farthest west but the
nearest in shore, opened fire with her bat
teries with a vengeance and steaming
nearer the shore, accompanied by her con-
sorts, made such excellent practice with
her guns that in. eighteen minutes every
Spanish gun was sfIenced.
1t would have been worth a years pay
to any one to have seen the effects of the
last shot fired, that from the Puritan's 12-
inch pet, when a mass of stones, earth and
abattais went sixty feet in the air, falling
in the rear of the spot where a Spanish
gun had been but few minutes before
There must have been many casualties on
the Spanish side, since the rapid-fire guns
were used on all the ships, as well as those
of larger caliber.
II seems to be the general opinion that
the Spaniards had nothing heavier than
S-inch guns and that they had very poor
gunners with any of their ordnance.
However, just before the Spanish bat
teries were silenced. one gun on the west
side of the harbor seemed to be getting
the range of the flagship, several shots
striking near the New York and on both
sides of her. If the purpose of reconnois-
sance and the subsequent cannonade was
to secure an available place for the land
ing later of United States troops, such
purpose has been well accomplished, for no
doubt exists that the Spanish batteries at
Matanzas have been silenced for good at
least for longer time than it will take
to effect a landing.

A RUNAWAY BULL MARKET

Of all operators In Wall street seemed to be
that Il peaceful adjustment OF the controversy
with Spain is probable. Any OF the minor de-

feat Of this outcome we're persistently and
confidently ignored. There were reactions at
times cui ing tho day, but they were due mere
~ to realizing sales by those who were con-
tent to take large profit already assured
These realizing sales were absorbed without
at an, time reducing the level Of prices to
| last nights close, or even near IL, and the
market several times rallied to near the top
| figures of the day under rcnewd buying. The
| day closed with such buying movement in
! iu'l force and with the prices near the high
est level.
The days net gains In the railway list
ranged from to points, and in the special
ties gains OF over points in Sugar and nearly
Z in Metropolitan Street Railway were scored.

in the advance materially, but the leading
influence in the market was ranlpant specu-
latiyo buying movement. London was credit
ed with being large buyer hera but the
fcn IGN exchange failed to reflect the fact.
The tone Of exchange was firm. This might
pe uut 10 Silkntly easier time money, WHlcu
was 10 less significant of the prevailing con-
fderce in the peaceful outcome than the
strength. The prices of Americans in London
had risen before the opening here. but cabled
reports said this was due to buying on New
York orders. Spanish government bonds
showed strength in Paris and London. but
this was reflected In the strength oil Ameri-
securities.
Earl, reports from Washington that Spain
bad agreed to sell Cuba gave the rrst power
full UPWARD impetus to the market. The alb
stcnton of the senate foreign relations COM

the house to interrupt the progress of the
presidents negotiations with the Spanish gov
al nment were Interpreted as favorable factors.
No account apparently was taken OF the i'm
plied suggestion accompanying these actions
that the presidents demands on Spais were
sufficiently firm and far reaching to meet the |
objections of tnose who had threatened to OPP. |

tion in financial circles was that. whatever |
these demands may be, Spain would accede TO |
