for all the world like the explosion of
a magazine of brown prismatic powder.
The Puritan was doing fully as much
harm on the east side of the bay as
the New York was doing on the west.
All this time the Cincinnati had re-
manned out of action.
Capt. Chester signalled for permits
sion to engage, and it was granted by
the flagship. The Cincinnati steamed
up to within 1000 yards broadside on
and began to let fly with her guns.
The batteries and the New York were
just giving the signal to retire when
one defiant shot was fired from Rubal-
caya. 1t was the last shot that bat
terry was ever to fire.
One of the big guns on the Puritan
followed back. 1t was the best shot of
the day. 1t struck the battery just
where the gun was. tore its way into
the earthworks and exploded, doing
great damage.
Capt. R. j. MacHugh, an artillery
officer of the British army, who was a
spectator of the engagement, says it
Was one Of the best shots he had ever
seen made. Having practically demol-
ished the Spanish batteries the ships
stood out to sea. Not a shell had
struck one of them, but there had been
three narrow misses of the New York
The Spaniards fired scrapnel once,
which had burst above the ship, a shell
had struck just fore of her and another
struck just aft.
The fact that the SpaniarsS failed to
strike such large target as the New
nrlr 10y -l,n =
house on the water, was taken as evil
dence that they are not good marks
men On the other hand, every shot
that the New York fired after she got
the range was punched right into the
batteries.
In point of time the engagement last
ed just Is minutes. 1t began at 1851
and ended at 2:15. The Puritan and
Cincinnati were left on guard at Mat
anZas and the New York returned to
her old position.
All told the United States ships fired
Sc shots at the forts. The forts fired
probably 25 shots. But far more i'm
portant than the destruction of the bat
teries is the conclusion about the flu
ture which may be drawn from the
bombardment This conclusion is that
Havana is absolutely at the mercy of
the United States feet whenever we
choose to open fire.
Washington, April 2S.-A member
of the strategy board says he is sure
Capt. Sampson made no attempt to re-
duce batteries; that it would be use
less until troops were ready to occupy
the Place. The board believes the only
purpose was to draw the fire of Mat
anzas' batteries and learn their number
and strength. If any batteries were
building Capt. Sampson would prevent
continuation of work on them

NO GIRL NURSES
Will be Sent to Cuba, and Only Doc
tors Who Are Immune From Vel
low Fever.

Washington. April 2S.-Surgeon
General Sternberg, of the army, has
received applications from over Lou
physicians who have offered their SER
vices to the government and every mail
brings numerous additions to the list.
With a view to answering generally
many of these applications and of indl-
eating the requirements and class OF
physicians who may be called on for
service in the army. he has prepared
the following circular letter:
No appointments are made in the
regular army except after examination
by an army medical examining board
and all applicants must be graduates
in medicine and less than % years OF
age. The surgeon general OF the army
has nothing to do with the appoint
ment of medical officers for the vOlun-
teer army.
Comparatively few contract surgeons
(acting assistant surgeon) are likely to
be required and it is the intention TO
employ for service with troops going
to Cuba or at hospitals on the gulf
coast. only such as are immune to yell
low fever.
All applications and offers of service
will be placed on file for future refer
ence, and for selection of the most
available persons for the special duty
required, in case of need.
No female nurses will be sent to
Cuba or to hospitals on the gulf coast,
and it appears probable, at present, that
there will be no necessity for the en-
ployment Of trained family nurses. All
applications. however. will be placed
on file for future reference, in case of
need

WILL OCCUPY MATANZAS.
1t Will Be Used as a Base of Opera
tions in the Campaigning Against
Havana.

Washington. April 2S--It is the gen.
eral belief that Matanzas is to be soon
reduced and made a base of operations
in the campaign against Havana. 1t is
also the Presidents purpose to keep in
mind throughout the war the awful con-
ditiOn of the recOncentrados, who are
most numerous in and around Matan-
zas. Unless relief is extended to them
they undoubtedly will perish during
the progress of a drawn-Out war
The reported seizure by the Spanish
military authorities at Matanzas of
stores contributed by Americans and
held in trust there for the succor of
these poor sufferers, is regarded as a
clear indication that even if the Red
Cross steamer Texas is permitted to
land her cargo of supplies as MatanZas
under existing conditions the food will
not reach the reconcentrados, but will
only go to support the Spanish garri-
son in their resistance. Therefore, it
is believed that the President contem-
plates the early seizure of Matanzas,
not only because Of its military import
ance. but in order that he may from
there hold out a helping hand to the
starving peasantry 1t is likely, there
fore, that while there was nothing of
the nature of g general engagement in
Admiral Simpsons reconnaissance Of
yesterday, he will soon take steps to
begin a heavier and lively lombard
ment of MatanZas

The Audaz's SIOter Ship Has Not Been
Heard From Since the Storm.
New YORK, March pa dispatch
to the New York World from Water
ford, Ireland, says:
THE torpedo boat destroyer Audaz,
though crippled by gale, is ordered
to Spain with all possible haste. She
put in here Friday with both bows
smashed in, her stern twisted several
feet out of line and other serious
damage, sustained while trying to
cross the bay of Biscay on the way
from her builders at Clydesbanl, Scot
land, to Ferrol, Spain. Her collision
bulkhead burst, but the second bulk
head stopped the water, preventing
her from laundering.
The captain said he was extremely
anxious concerning the fate of the
Osado, a sister boat, which left the
Clyde with the Audaz and encountered
the same violent storm. He hoped she
obtained shelter in some other port,
but there is no report yet of her ar
rival anywhere.
The two new torpedo boat destroy.
ers parted company in a hurricane.
The captain of the Audaz says he and
his crew had frightful experience,
being battered about eighteen hours
in a terrific sea, in which the Auda1
was completely buried half the time.
The men of the crew have not been
permitted to come ashore here"
