Marblehead, meantime, had endeavored
to draw the fire of the masked batter
les. The Spaniards refused to I'M
mask, however, and under cover of
cannonading the Nashville and Mar
blehead launched their boats and the
crews pull ed 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
quickly atoned for. The guns of the
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 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

FIVE AMERICANS KILLED.
Hot Fight at Cardenas, Cuba, in which
We Suffered Our First Loss.

We Suffered Our First Loss.
An engagement in which the first
Americans victims of the war fell took
about IS miles east of Havana The
U. S. gunboats Wilmington and Hud-
son and the torpedo boat Winslow, en-
tered the harbor for the purpose of
accommodating to determine the posi-
ton of masked batteries known to
have been recently constructed and to
sink three Spanish gunboats which had
attacked the Winslow a few days be-
fore. The Spaniards permitted the
Winslow to get within 700 yards of the
shore and the gunboats within $500
years before firing. The land batteries
of Cardenas supported the fire of the
Spanish gunboats, and there was
a very hot engagement for nearly two
hours. Many of the American shells
dropped in the city and number of
buildings burned. The Spanish gun
boat Lopez was sunk and the Liberia
burned. Shots from the shore bat
teries fell all around the American
ships, and one shell burst directly
over the Winslow. after she had been
disabled by shot which went through
her boilers. The Winslow was appar-
emily the center of the Spaniards fire
and had it not been for the courageous
work of the Hudson in rushing into
the thiclsest of the fire and towing her
out of range the torpedo boat would
have been sunk. As it was the Wins
low was badly riddled and five of her
crew killed. The dead: Ensign Worth
Bagley; John Varvoris, oiler; Elijah B.
Tunnett, cabin cook; George Il. Meeks,
fireman, and John Denfee, fireman.
The American vessels drew off after
the disaster to the Winslow. Five men
were quite badly injured besides the
killed. They were taken to Key West
by the Hudson.

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 landing party ex-
plored the shore the mangled bodies of
nearly 100 Spaniards were found, and
it 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 light
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.
