Men on the Terror and the MaChiaS Put Holes
 Into the Guido.
While Trying to Run the Cuban Blockade the Spanish Steamer Is Given an Object Les=
 son and Captured.

Copyrighted, 1898. by James Gordon Bennett.
 KEY WEST, April 2S.-When the great Spanish freight steamship Guido of the Fletcher line came into port early this morning in charge of a prize crew from the monitor Terror and the gunboat Machias the starboard side oi her pilot-house was shattered into kindling- her compass and binna- cle were smashed into a thousand frag- ments, and her brass pinnacle standard was clearly pierced in three places by siX-pound shells
 These wounds were a tribute to the superb craftsmanship of the men be- hind the naval vessels rapid-fre guns. The Guido had not stopped her en- zines quickly enough when ordered to do so She paid the penalty, and her good captain, Julien Ormaccea, who stood just forward of the pilot-house, had the novel sensation of hearing a siX-pounder shot whiz past his head at a distance not more than two feet. Poor Manuel Rivas, a sailor, who stood at the wheel, was not so fortunate. The shot which shattered the compass and pinnacle showered him with broken glass and metal.
 The next and last shot fired from the Terror entered the starboard side of the pilot-house from a slanting direction aft and drove into Rivas' breast several long, jagged, wooden splinters, one of which penetrated to the pleural cavity. Rivas was this afternoon removed to the United States Marine Hospital His condition was regarded as critical. though hopes are entertained of his re- covery.
 The shot fired by the Machias pierced one of the steamships whaleboats as 1t hung from the davits, and, exploding. rent long, rough holes in the boats sides. Only four shots were fired at the ship altogether, one by the Machias and three by the Terror Every one reached its mark with deadly accuracy. This kind of craftsmanship, together with the exhibition of artillery skill given yesterday in front of the Matanzas shore batteries, is likely to inspire an increased respect in the Spanish breast for the skill of our naval gunners.
 The Terror and Machias at half-past 3 o'clock Wednesday morning over hauled the Guido ten miles off Cardenas and identified her as a Spanish ship bound for Havana. One shot was fired across her bows by the Terror, but the Guido did not stop, and apparently forged ahead The other shots then fol- lowed in quick succession. They were not aimed across her bow, but at her pilot-house Then Captain Ormaccea pulled his bells so violently as to stop the engines and then to reverse them. A prize crew, consisting of twelve men. under the command of Lieutenant Qualtrough of the Terror and Ensign Willets of the Machias, was put aboard Everything was done first of all to as sist the wounded sailor, Manuel Rivas, and then the ship was headed for Key West. She arrived off the bar late last

demand was drm and the call was suni-
cieut TO take many more good desirable

Gay Will probably not be very strong. as
the closing day for the week never shows
up very gorgeously. The quality has for
the most part been fair to good, the ban

tractive lot OF sale hogs. The two loads
weighed up yesterday were heavy. show

the quality was only fair, there being
