AMERICANS WHIPPED ALL ALONG
THE LINE.
A Spanish Air Castle.

New York June 1.-El Progresso,
a newspaper published in Havana,
a copy of which has been received
here, in an editorial May 23rd, con-
tains the following summary of the
situation from the view point Of the
Spanish press:
"a month has gone by since the
cowardly Yankees proclaimed war
against Spain. They then declared
that they would annihilate us; that
they would come and take Havana
and level our forts to the ground
We now see that it was but a cow
ardly boast, for not one dastardly
Yankee has set foot on Cuban soil.
They dare not, for our brave soldiers
will repulse them and drive them
back to their own shores. Have
they taken Havana 7 Not one gun
has been fired upon our forts; and
their ships which pretend to main
tain blockade, fear to come within
the range of the noble guns of Nor
70 castle. 1t would mean their de-
truction. Yankees are towards and
can do nothing. Every good and
true soldier of Spain is anxiously
awaiting the appearance Of Yankees
and we will then teach them how
well Spaniard can fight, and that
we can do more than boast.
wherever the ships of the enemy
approached our shores, they have
been driven back with disastrous
loss and their attempts to destroy
our forts have resulted instead in
the destruction Of their ships. Our
brave soldiers have poured shot and
shell into the enemy and nobly stood
by their guns and upon every Oc-
casion achieved a gallant victory.
ave have heard reports of the
enormous army which was to invade
our island and conquer our army.
What has become of it' They do
not dare to come and meet the brave
Spaniards, knowing full well that
death would be certain to await
them. They tried to starve us, but
on the contrary they are starving
themselves, for bread and meat are
higher in New York than they are
in Havana. We have plenty to eat,
while the Yankees have been com
PEELED to open free soup houses in
all the big cities to feed their hungry
and the people die from starvation.
No dog even goes without food in
this capital, but dogs are better than
the dirty Yankees. Beef costs fifty

cents in New York and loaf OF
break twenty-five cents. How long
can the shop-keeping Yankees, who
think Of nothing but dollars, stand
that. They are already sorry that
they have begun war against Spain,
but we will given them cause for
deeper regret. 1t will not be long
before our victorious army willcross
over into their territory and do to
them as they would like to have
done to us. We will give them some
of their own medicine.
"Already our gallant feet has
bombarded their city of Boston and
driven the inhabitants of that place
into the interior, compelling them
to flee for their lives. Next we will
move upon New York and no Yam
kee ships dare attack us, knowing
full well their inability to cope with
the formidable Spanish navy.
"Already there is tumult and in
surrection among the Yankees be-
cause of the failure Of their arms,
and the people are blaming Presi-
dent Mckinley. A military guard
of 1000 soldiers surrounds his
palace to prevent an assassin from
reaching him. He never goes out
and it is expected daily that news
will be sent out Of his death, so in
tensely enraged are the people, be-
cause they see nothing but defeat
in their war against Spain. Civil
war is threatened among the United
States and it may be looked for at
any moment. The wealthy Yankees
Of New York and Philadelphia have
barricaded their houses and armed
their servants, fearing both the at
tacks of our forces and the mObs of
their own people.
"Such is the condition which ex-
lists in America to-day while our
noble army and our government
under the brave and good Captain
General Blanco has succeeded in
pacifying all Of Cuba so that peace
reigns upon our shores.
"Spaniards, we have nothing to
fear from the cowardly Yankees.
We are already the victors and
gladly would the enemy sue for
peace.
"The Philippines, which were at
first reported lost to us, have been
regained, if indeed they were ever
out Of our power or in danger of
being lost. The ships Of the Yankee
commander have been destroyed
with great loss Of life and the rebel
forces have united with all good
Spanish citizens in driving the for
eigners from those islands and have

WAR NEWS.

New York, June 1.-The Jour
nails cable from Kingston says:
Schley has struck the first hard
blow in the Atlantic.
=. The outer Notifications of Santi-
ago de Cuba are practically in ruins,
the once formidable MORO fort
being particularly wrecked, and Ad-
miral Cerveras flagship battered
and charred, with some of her great
plates broken and her machinery
injured, is no longer the dangerous
battle craft that crossed the Atlantic
to lead the Spanish fleet against the
American warships.
The imported French end German
gunners sent the projectiles from
imported Krupps close to our ships,
but that was all. Not shell act
ually struck one of Schley's vessels,
and to-day or tomorrow the whole
American fleet will be before the
scotched Spanish stronghold, pre-
pared to hammer them to absolute
destruction or surrender.
II was the Marblehead that first
made certain the presence of the
Spanish fleet ut Santiago. The fight
/, Thursday was the sequel to the
Marblehead's discovery. The Mar
blehead, cruising in close to the
harbOr entrance, found four Span
ish,cruisers, two torpedo boat des-
troyers and the old Reina Mercedes
! lurking behind the batteries at the
mouth of the harbor.
Schley at once made up his mind
to draw the fire Of the batteries.
His object was two-fold--make the
enemy reveal the location Of the
new masked batteries and to compel
the Spanish fleet to come out and
fight.
When the American fleet advanc-
ed the Cristobal Colon lay across the
entrance Of the harbor, her port
broad-side facing the assailants.
Schley wanted to get into the
thick Of whatever was going to hap
spen, SO transferred his flag from the
.Brooklyn to the more heavily armed
Massachusetts. This was at noon.
Two hours later the Massachusetts,
New Orleans and Iowa, in the order
named, and not more than cable
length apart, steamed up to the har-
Dor mouth to within 1000 yards Of
Morro.
The Massachusetts opened fire
4 #r4 49,
New Iberia enterprise. (New Iberia, La.) 1885-1902, 1898-06-04

first, taking the Spanish flagship
for it's first target. An 8-inch shell
opened the proceedings. 1t was not
a good shot, almost as bad, in fact,
as the shot that answered it. Then
the Massachusetts, tried it's 13-inch
guns. Then the ships near by trem-
bled with their shock and the water
seemed to hum like a great sound
ing board.
The CristObal Colon and four bat
teries, two on the east side, one on
the west and one on the island in
the middle of the channel, replied.
Their 10 and 12-inch Krupps
spoke shot for shot with our skies,
eights, twelves and thirteens. Itwas
noisy and spectacular, but not effec-
tive on either side at first. Both
sides seemed unable to get the range.
The Americans steamed across be-
fore the batteries at full speed,
had the range by the time Of the
second passage and began to shoot
close.
Several shots burst right over the
Iowa, three fell dangerously near
the New Orleans and one shaved the
bow of the Massachusetts,, as the
bay geysered before her.
But the American fire was eating
into the forts all the time. Once
they got the range there were few
shots wasted. The MOrro's walls
crumbled in manyplaces, and its fire
slackened.
Two men stood on the highest
parapets during the first part of the
engagement watching our feet with
telescopes. They disappeared in an
explosion of one Of the Massachu-
sets l2-inch shells. 1t could not
be told if they were blown up.
After half an hours firing both
forts on the east and the one on the
island were silenced.
Five minutes later our ships ceased
firing. The western battery and the
Spanish flagship kept up the shoot
ing for twenty minutes longer, but
their fire was ineffective.
At the time the American sailors
were cheering and shouting that the
Colon was afire. 1t seemed SO after
a shot from the Iowa had exploded
on her, but if it was the Spanish
soon had it extinguished, for she
kept right on shooting, and fred the
last gun of the action.
Schley changed back to the Brook
lyn and steamed leisurely out to sea.
The Journals boat went to each ship
and got the same report:
No casualties.

reorganized their government under
an equitable autonomy such as ex-
lists in Cuba to-day.
"Brave Spaniares, we will not be
content with compelling the Yam
KEGS to sue for peace; we will in
wade their territory, capture and
destroy their towns and force them
into subsection. Spanish valor is
the same to-day that it was in the
days of old, and we can see in the
near future the proud flag Of Spain
afoat upon every sea and planted
again upon the continent Of Amer
lea, and once more Spain will rule
the world as she did in the happy
days gone by.

The question has been asked why
Dewey is such great fighter. The
answer is easy enough. Dewey
belongs to the little band Of Demo-
Gratis in Vermont and history has
shown that when Vermont Demo
Gratis get into a fight he never stops
to ask when the battle is over.
Dewey comes Of race Of Demo-
Gratis in Vermont, who are always
in the minority and get licked in
every election, but they are fighters
and come up to the scratch every
time.-Stdtes.

are expected tomorrow, and then
the reduction of the Santiago forts
and the Spanish fleets should be
seriously attempted.
Manila, May q, via Shanghai
May 3O.-Admiral Dewey and his
Americans are impatiently waiting
for troops from the United States.
They chafe at the delay, and are
eager to be at the Spaniards again.
The enemy is not idle. 1t is be-
lieved they have the Pasig river so
barricaded with sunken hulks that
Dewey cannot reach the gunboats
sheltered in the stream and at the
same time these boats will be use
full to the Spaniards in resisting the
attack on the city.
Earthworks are being thrown up
near the water front by the enemy
and all available guns are being
mounted. 1t is not believed, how
ever, that there are any available
guns which will be of much use
against Dewey's feet, nearly all
being Of ancient pattern. Spies re-
port that the Spaniards have very
little ammunition.
There is news of risings Of the
insurgents throughout the Island of
Luzon. Aguinaldo is everywhere
welcomed rs a liberatOr. Between
5000 and 6OOO rifles have recently
been placed in his hands through
the agency of the Americans, and
his loyalty to the American cause
is not for moment doubted,
though it is generally said that once
before theSpaniards bought him off.
The Americans are fortifying Cor
regidor Island, at the entrance to
Manila Bay, and mining the chan
mel. They will give warm recep-
ton to any possible antagonist.
Key West, May 3O.-The Cuban
insurgents took the town of Re-
medios on Saturday by q brilliant
dash, held it for two hours, and got
away with trifiing loss, the richer
by 800 Mauser rifles, 80 900 rounds
Of ammunition and 10000 rations.
Remedies is one of the few in
terror cities the Spanish continued
to hold when they sent most Of their
troops to the seaboard to resist the
expected American invasion. Car
lilo, who led the attack, had men
firing of sticks Of giant powder at
regular intervals to give the Spani-
ards the idea that there was artillery
against them. The makebelieve can
non firing completed the demorali-
zation Of the Spaniards. They fed
ont Of the south side Of the town,

armed insurgents. Consequently,
far from there being any hostile
demonstration on the part of the
Spaniards, the landing of the expe-
ditiOn was in the nature of tri-
umphal invasion. The Cubans,
who were in waiting for the party,
had a brass band and welcomed the
newcomers with national airs.
The Oregon has the distinction Of
being the first battleship ever sailed
around the Horn and there was much
satisfaction expressed in naval cir
cles when the news was received
that she had arrived safe at Jupiter
Inlet, Fla. The Oregon's arrival,
safe and sound, after a voyage of
49, 900 miles, ahead of time, de-
monstrated that she had an able com
lhanderand that the ship was staunch
and seawOrthy. 1t has also demon
strated the capability of these great
iron ships on long and forced voy-
ages. The Oregon was registered
rs 10, ,2SS tons burden, with engines
developing 5000 horse power. She
sailed from San Francisco March
10Th on the journey round the Horn,
and it is probable no ship that ever
made the trip attracted so much at
tention. The people of two CONT
nents looked daily for news of the
Oregon. Her commander is Captain
Charles Edwin Clark. Like Dewey,
he is a native of Vermont, and went
into the naval academy in 1860. He
saw active service in the civil war.
But the achievement of this long
and perilous voyage, after Dewey's
service at Manila, is the brightest
chapter in the naval history of the
war up to date.

fed, and the Cubans shot at them
from behind corner buildings and

Key West, Fla, May 3l.-Near-
ly 400 men, with pack train and a
quantity Of arms and ammunition,
sailed for Cuba on the Plant Line
steamer Florida on the night of
May q. These men and equip
ment constituted an expedition able
to act Independently and able to
defend itself against any Spanish
troops which might be opposed to it.
The Florida has been quaran-
tined, but was released in a few
hours. She landed her party near
Guantanamo, province of Santiago
de Cuba, and not a shot was fired.
The expedition was landed on the
coast Of Cuba on Thursday morn
ing, May 26. When the Florida,
escorted by the Osceola, drew close
to the shore at the place selected
for the landing, the ship sent scouts
to see if all was clear. These
scouts were greeted by Generals
