MUST FIGHT IN SPAIN.
Judge Mackey's Views on the
Present War.

Washington, April 27.-Thom-
as j Mackey, of South Carolina,
who was a captain of engineers in
the Confederate army, and did
splendid service in the construct
ion of the fortifcations at Rich
mond and other points, SAYS that
in 1866 he made a thorough ex-
animation of Moro Castle, and
the plans thereof, drawn by him,
are in the war department. Judge
Mackey will no doubt 90 to Cuba
In very short time as an engi>
neer in the United States army.
and he has been endorsed bv
numerous Confederate officers.
as well as some of the best known
Union generals. He takes very
different view of the probable
length of the conflict from that
generally entertained.
i think" said he, that our
war with Spain will extend over a
period Of three or four years, and
possibly much longer. To achieve
final victory we will be forced to
land an army on Spanish soil, and
that will bring on the greatest
battle in the annals of history,
A quarter of million of men
will be engaged on either side.
The taking of Cuba and Porto
Rico, instead of marking the ter
mination of the struggle, will only
be its inception, and the enemy is
wise enough to have discounted
the loss of this territory. Spain
mas a population of 19, 900, 600,
and is a warlike race. Unless we.
administer Il crushing blow on
their own soil they will not stop
lighting for the next thirty wears.

Madrid, April 26. $50 y m.
The Spanish government today
sent a circular to the powers,
supplementing its circular of April
is, and expressing regret at the
"hard necessity of being compell-
ed to appeal to force in order to
repel the scandalous aggression
of the United States and defend
the national dignity and historical
integrity of the fatherland.
Continuing, the circular note
says: "History presents few in
stances wherein the reason is so
evident on one part and the out
rage so undisguised on the other.
Spain has on her side right, cor
rect procedure and prudence,
while the United States has on
her side only loyalty and the i'm
pulse of I'm oridled ambitions. "

cradle conduct,' of General Fitz-
hugh Lee, the note reproduces
the text of the resolutions of Con-
gress, underlining the last words

bans

pacitied until "'it is ready for an
neXation.'
Further on, the note gives the
details of the rupture of the neg
Citations between Spain and the
United States, concluding with
the following declaration: "The
Spanish people await the attack
with tranquil serenity, decided to
sell their lives dear and to defend
cncrgctically their right to remain
in America, confident that ia this
work they will have the assistance
of the Cubans, who are Spaniards
like themselves,
II am.-The general public here
is in complete ignorance regarding
the war movements. The Spanish
newspapers make no mention of
them, while fully recording the
tactics of the United States fleet.
Judging from the available ad-
vices, Spain appears to have the
tactics of the badger.
1t is generally believed that in
conference with this policy the
Spanish fleet, unless compelled to
fight, will avoid engagements, and
the fastest ships will be employed
to destroy the commerce of the
United States.
The newspapers today reflect
general satisfaction at the unani-
nifty of the support given the
government in the Cortes yester-
day.

MATANZAS
'7:I] B0MBARDED
Smelling Lasted 1S Minutes.
No Casualties on the American
Side, But Great Damage was
Done to Matanzas and 1t Is
Believed Some Spaniards
Were Surely Killed.

April q, 2 p. m.-The New
York, Puritan and Cincinnati
bombarded the forts of the mouth
of the Matanzas harbor this after
noon. There were no casualties
on our side, but it is believed that
the hail of iron that was pounded
in the forts must have caused loss
of life to the Spaniards, though
nothing is known definitely. The
engagement commenced at 12:57
and ceased at 1:15. The object of
the attack was to prevent the COM
pletion of the earthworks at Pun
ia Gorda. A battery on the east
ward arm of the bay opened fire
on the flagship, and this was also
shelled. About twelve eight inch
shells were fired from the eastern
forts, bnt all fell short. About 5
or 6 light shells were fired from
the half completed battery. Two
of these whizzed over the New
York and one tell short.
The ships left the bay for the
open sea, the object of discover
ing the whereabouts of the batter
les having been accomplished. In
the neighborhood of 800 shots
were put on land from the three
ships at a range of from 1000 to
1000 yards.
The half completed Spanish
earthworks and battery were ap
parently ploughed up by the shells
All the ships engaged showed
excellent Workmanship through
out, and when they were firing at
the shortest range nearly every
shell took effect. The forts which
were bombarded were on low
\lying point and were considered
merely earthworks. They did not
make good target, yet when the
pig guns were fired at the shortest
fnge, portions of the fort could
seen flying in the air at every
lot.
The flagship returned to Ha-
ma, and the Puritan and Cincin-
HI were left on the Matanzas
