TWO FORTS SILENCED.
Port Cabanas and Marie1 Fired On by
the FIaoship New York.


The flagship New York, while cruising
westward along the Cuban coast, went
near enough to invite shots from the shore
for the purpose of learning with what
guns the Spanish could oppose the fleet
to the westward of Havana. Mariel de-
clined to reply. Farther west, toward
Port Cabanas, were two small batteries,
neither mounting modern high-power
rifles. These tried to shoot at the torpedo
boats Porter and Ericsson, which were
running along astern of the New York.
The flagship. lying broadside on, prompt
ly replied as soon as she got range, and
sent shell after shell into the little para
pets which screened the gunners anC
above which the gunners could be seen.
Twelve shots were fired from the New
York, and there was no reply after the
fourth. The New York's gunners had
the range and shot right into the earth
works, tearing up sand and mortar, which
fell in showers. With the guns lis
mounted, the gunners fed. The fire s.
lenced, the New York moved ON her
course. 1t was impossible to tell through
glasses whether any were killed, but the
New York had gained the desired ad-
vantage by drawing fire from these bat
teries and learning their strength. They
were not at all formidable. No shot
struck the flagship, the shells falling
short or going wide.

WASHINGTON WILD WITH JOY.
Newsof Victory Off Manila Met with
Patriotic Acclaim.

Patriotic Acclaim.
The national capital was delirious with
joy Sunday night over the news of the
glorious naval victory in the Philippines
The bulletin boards in front of the news
paper offices were surrounded all the
evening by enthusiastic, cheering crowds
and at midnight the broad avenues were
still thronged with excited groups dis.
cussing the meager details of the battle
while hordes of scrambling newsboys fill
ed the city with the noise of their cries OF
extras
Not since the dark days of the great
civil conflict of a third of a century age
have the people of the capital city been
so profoundly moved by war news. Said
President Mckinley when he was shown
the Madrid dispatch regarding the engage
IN Mt between Dewey's squadron and the
Spanish fleet off the Philippines, "That
looks favorable. If the Spaniards admit
that much,S Dewey must have won sub
stantial victCrS"
The first news ct the battle received in
Washington came In a brief cablegran
from Madrid about 8 o'clock Sunday
evening. AS the night wore on the cable
continued to sing the news of victory fol
the squadron of Admiral Dewey and the
interest grew into tremendous excitement
Ordinarily, Washington is the quietest OF
cities on Sunday, but as bulletin after
bulletin was posted in front of the news
paper offices, each successive one convey.
ing information more gratifying then Its
predecessor, the crowds in the streets be.
came uproarious.
Good as well as bad news spread rap
idly and by 10 o'clock the streets were
crowded with people, all discussing the
one exciting topic of the hour. While vic.
tory had been expected, the news of it
coming as 1t did from Spanish sources
gave vent TO the patriotism of the people
which has been pent up for days. 1t was
spontaneous outburst of patriotic feel
ing that scarcely knew bounds. Admiral
Dewey's name was on every lip and his
praises were sung In the rejoicings of the
people,

CARRIES ORDERS To GOMEZ.
United States officer Reaches Camp
of the Insurrent Com m nnfier.

Lieut.. Henry H. Whitney of the Fourth
United States Artillery reached Gen.
Gomez's camp Friday night with an es-
cort provided by Col. Bermudez, who met
him on the coast, near Caibarien, Tues
day morning. Lieut.. Whitney carried let
ters to the insurgent commauder-in-Chi
and instructions from Gen. Miles of the
United States army These instructions
direct the Cuban army to move TO point
where they will unite with an army under
Brig. Gen. Nunez, which is to be equip
ped by the United States. Nunez's army
will bring along complete equipments for
10000 men.
A point on the northern coast is to be
seized and fortified as n base of supplies.
The ommander-in-c chief and Lieut. Whit
ney naturally declined to reveal to CORE
spondents the point selected for the base,
but the Cuban officers say it is Cardenas.
From the same source it is gathered that
the first offensive action of the allied
troops is to be against Matanzas, which
is only twenty-five miles from Cardenas.
The idea is that Captain General Blanco
will not dare weaken the force he has
gathered for the defense of Havana to
relieve Matanzas. This point once taken,
the base Of operations will be transferred
to that city, and the investment of Ha-
yana will follow
