the coast batteries have been supplied
with provisions and munitions suffi-

FOREIGNERS ARE KICKING.
Object to tho Increased Tonnage In the
War Revenue ELL

WASHINGTON, April 80 Foreign
governments, through their represent
atives in Washington, are beginning
to show much concern over the fea-
ture of the war tariff bill, now before
Congress, which increases the tonnage
tax on trans Atlantic shipping to 20
cents per ton 1t is said this increase
is about 600 per cent, the present rate
being about cents per ton, and that
nearly the entire burden of the 600
per cent increase falls upon the trans
Atlantic shipping of Great Britain,
Germany, France and one or two
other commercial nations.
In other respects the war tariff bill
attracts little attention in foreign
quarters as the main increase of taxa
ton is on articles of domestic con-
sumption, while duties on foreign inn
ports remain practically unchanged.

BOMBARDED.
SPANISH GUNS SILENCED.

sIderable-Our Fleet Shot to
Stop Work on uarbor Forti-

by the Blg Ships.

KEY WEST, April 99.-The New
York, the Puritan and the Cincinnati
bonn barded the forts at the mouth OF
Matanzas harbor yesterday afternoon.
There were no casualties on our
side, but it is believed that the hail OF
iron which pounded in the forts must
have caused loss of life to the Span
iards, though nothing is known detn-
itely.
The engagement commenced at 1887
and ceased at lis. The object of the
attack was to prevent the completion
of the earthworks at Punta Gorda.
A battery on the eastward arm OF
the bay opened fire on the flagship
and this was also shelled.
About twelve eight-inch shells were
fred from the eastern forts, but all
fell short. About five or six light
shells were fred from the half com
pleted battery Two of these whizzed
over the New York and one fell short.
The ships left the bay for the open
sea, the object of discovering the
whereabouts of the batteries having
been accomplished.
In the neighborhood of 300 shots
were put on land from the three ships.

Rear Admiral Sampson, when asked
if he was satisfied with the result,
said: Eyes, l am. expected to be-"
The half completed Spanish earth
works and battery were apparently
blown up by the shells.
All the ships engaged showed ex-
cellent craftsmanship throughout the
engagement and when they were
firing at the shortest range nearly
every she'll took effect. The forts
which were bonn barded were on low
lying point and were considered
merely earthworks.
They did not make a good target,
yet when the big guns were fired at
the shortest range portions of the
fort could be seen flying in the air at
every shot.
The flagship returned to Havana
and the Puritan and Cincinnati were
left on Matanzas station

WASHINGTON, Apr 3o.-It is entiro-

the American fleet in Cuban waters
in the matter of selling Spanish YES

completely eclipsed by the per-
Torrance of the swift ocean grey

No official statement can be secured
as to the destination Of these splen-

rumored that they are to head direct
ly for the coast of Spain, where they
will lie in wait for the Spanish prizes

Eight Large Transports Chartered to

Heard From at the Canaries.
WASHINGTON, April 80. - The navy
department received the news this
morning of the sailing of the st.
Vincent, Cape Verde, Spanish fleet
and when additional information
came that Portugal at last had pro-
claimed neutrality there were many
expressions of satisfaction among the
officials. The statement that the YES
sells when leaving st. Vincent were
headed in a southerly direction is val
ueless as an indication as to the real
course of the fleet.
The majority OF the naval officers
here feel Confident that the Spanish
feet will next appear at the Canary
islands What most concerns the
navy officers just now is how to learn
when the fleet does arrive there. The
cable to the Canaries being in Spanish
hands, the arrival of the fleet would
be kept secret.
