of fire and death pouring in upon the tor
pedo boat.
The crew of the Winslow, however, never
faltered for a second. At 2:35 p. IN. a solid
shot crashed into the hull of the Winslow
and knocked out her boiler. In an ms tant
she began to roll and drift helplessly.
Tnen there was moment of awful sus-
penSe. fierce cheer of triumph went up
from the Spaniards on the gunboats and
in the batteries and again storm of fire
was opened up on the helpless boat.
The gunboaL hudson, winch was lying
near by, started to the ass LsJaEce of the
Winslow. she ran alongside the torpedo
boat and tried to throw a line 10 the i'm
.periled crew
Up to this time, with the exception of
the one shot which disabled the boiler OF
the Winsi0w, the firing of the Spanish gun
boats had been wild, but as the WlnSlow
lay rolling in the water the range grew
closer I'd shells began to explode all about
her.
1t was difficult for the Hudson to get near
enough to throw line TO the Wmslow's
crew, so terrible was the fire all about her.
FINALLY, &tter about 20 minutes, the Hud-
son approached near enough to throw
line
Ensign Bagley and six men, were standing
In q group on the deck of the Winslow.
Heave her! HeaVe her! shouted Bag
ley, as he looked towards the commander
of the Hudson and called for line.
Don't miss it," shouted an officer from
called back: Let her cyme. It's getting
too hot here for comfort"
The line was thrown and about the same
instant a shell burst in the very midst of
ahe group Of men on board the Winslow
Bagiey was instantly killed and few
others dropped about him. Half a dozen
more fell grOaning on the bioodstained
deck. One OF the dead men pitched head
hong over the side of the boat, but his
feet caught In the iron rail and he was
hauled back.
Bagley lay stretched on the deck with his
race completely torn away and the upper
part of his body shattered.
The torpedo boat, disabled and helpless
rolled and swayed under the fury of the fire
from the Spanish gunboats.
When the shell burst in the group on
BOARD the Winslow another wild shout of
triumph went up from the Spanish boats
and batteries and again heavy fire was
opened on the torpedo boat.
Finally the Hudson succeeded in getting
a line on board the WinsloW, and was tow
ing her out of the deadly range when the
LINE parted and again both boats were at
che mercy of the Spanish fire.
At $3.50 p. m. the Hudson managed to get
another line on the deck of the Winslow
but there were only three men left at that
time to make il fast.
The line was finally secured and the
Winslow was towed Up to Pedras island

wounded on her decks. There some mer

Madrid's View of 1t.

Madrid, May 14.-An official dispatch
from San Juan de Puerto Rico says:
THE American squadron was re-
pulsed off Puerto Rico. Although IL
warships bombarded the place, the at
tackers were ingloriously beaten back.
The Spanish batteries, armed with six
inch Krupp guns, were especially eff
fective."
This alleged victory of the Spaniards
has aroused great enthusiasm here.

BATTLE AT CABANAS.
Transport Steamer Gussie Carrying
Supplies to Cubans Has n Lively
Engagement with the Spanish.

Key West, Fla, May IA. - The trans
port steamer Gussie, which left here
with big expedition for Cuba Wednes-
day night, had lively engagement
with the Spanish at Cabanas, province
of Pinar del Rio, Thursday, but sue
ceeded in accomplishing her mission.
The Gussie, which came here FROM
Tampa, carried 1000 rifles and large
quantity of ammunition intended for
the Cubans. The expedition was direct
ed by Capt. j. II. Dorst, of the United
States cavalry, who took with him over
100 men of the First infantry and ten
Cuban scouts.
After a rough voyage the Gussie was
met off the Cuban coast by the aux
iliary gunboats Wasp and Manning,
which escorted her in. AS they ap-
preached the shore a large body of
Spanish soldiers opened fire upon the
expedition and the gunboats replied
with effect, enabling the expedition to
land. On shore the battle was renewed.
The Spanish troops had retired to their
works in the woods and directed con-
StdllU DuO iiS upOh VIC
ing party. The latter was reinforced
by body of armed insurgents, who had
been informed of the coming of the eX-
petition. Then, under the fire of the
gunboats, the Spanish force was COM
PEELED to withdraw and the mission of
the Gusse was accomplished. One of
the American party was shot in the
back. The Spanish loss is not known,
but must have been very heavy.

volunteer army corps at Chickamauga,
was countermanded in the interest of
greater dispatch. Instead of delaying
the land attack on Havana the powerful
expedition which was decided upon last
Sunday will be hurried into the island
with the least possible loss of time, and
in place of assembling the reserve COM
posed of volunteers at Chickamauga to
follow in few days behind the regulars,
the movement will be simultaneous all
along the line.
