story of the Battle.
KEY WEST, Fla, May l4.-The United
States cruiser Marblehead, the gun
boat Nashville and the auxiliary
cruiser Window, steamed up to the
harbor of Cienfuegos early "Wednesday
morning with orders to cut the cable
connecting Havana with Santiago de
Cuba. This task was accomplished,
but only after a terrific fight between
our warships and several thousand
Spanish troops, which lined the
shore and lay concealed behind
iInprovised brcastworks. One man,
marine named Regain, of the Marble
head. was killed outright in one OF the
working small boats, and six men were
severely wounded. In addition,
large number on board the ship re-
ceived minor wounds.
Capt. Nature of the Window be-
lieves that several of the six badly
wounded men who were brought to
Kew West on the Window can not re-
cover.
Following is list of killed and bad
~ wounded:
Herman Regain, a marine, of the
Marblehcad.
BADLY WOUNDED.
John Davis, of New York.
John j. Donran, of Fall River, Mass
Ernest SuntzfaniclSle.
Herman Hochneister.
Harry Hepdrickson, all of the Mar
blehead.
Robert Boltz, Carter county, n. c., OF
the Nashville.
Soon after the arrival of the war
ships off Cienfuegos four boats were
launched and proceeded in shore for
the purpose of graphing for the cable
in order to cut it. The warships lay
to about 1000 yards or more off the
harbor.
1t was observed that the Spanish
troops had assembled ashore, but it
was not known that heavy guns had
y
that the old lighthouse, far out on
neck of land, had been transformed
into a formidable fort.
The small boat proceeded cautiously
and, for more than an hour, worked
unmolested on the cable. Suddenly,
iGst as the work was about completed,
the shore battery fired shell at the
boats. 1t was followed by others, and
the Spanish infantry opened fire then
with their rifles.
Then, like flash, the Marblehead
sent a she'll inland, and followed it
with perfect shower of shot.
The Nashville was quick to follow
suit, and the little Window cut loose
her four FOUNDERS.
Meanwhile Spanish bullets fell in the
small boats. Though the attack had
come suddenly fercely, the blue jack
cts were not dismayed, and, protected
by the terrific return fire of the war
ships, work was continued and the ca
Bile cut.
When the boats returned to the
ships Regain, who was in one of the
Marbleheads boats, of which there
were two, was found to have been
killed Six men were badly wounded.
The Spaniards had by this time suf-
fered severe loss. Their shot from the
Zig tn use struck the warships
several times, and, although
they did not do much damage,
the fire aroused the determination
of the American officers to exterminate
the fort. Thereafter, for a moment,
the fire of the warships was concen-
trated upon the lighthouse and the i'm
provised fort was blown to pieces.
The dispatch adds that the Spanish
loss is estimated at 400, and that of the
United States fleet four killed and four
wounded,
The lighthouse was demolished, it is
reported, the arsenal destroyed and
the batteries on shore silenced. The
town was set on fire by shells from the
American feet.
