Boat Dauntless, st. Thomas, Danish West
Indies, May 13.-The forts of San Juan
de Porto Rico have been bombardea by a
portion of the fleet under the command o.
Rear Admiral Sampson.
The remarkable feature of the bombara
ment was the bad craftsmanship of the
Spanish gunners. Hardly a shot from
the forts struck the ships, while the forts
were hit repeatedly. Most of the Spanish
projectiles fell very wide and at the close
of the engagement the Notifications had
very dilapitated appearance, but the
guns were as active as ever.
The United States Monitor Terror had
a magnificent half hours duel with the
forts. The batteries bravely threw shot
and she'll about her until she seemed to
occupy the center of great aeyser
basin. The Spanish gunners were orazed
by excitement and sometimes dropped
their shells mile away from the Terror
When the monitor retired she did SO slow

forts The Spaniards continued to fire on
her until she was miles out of range.

SPANISH SHIPS FAST.
Can Run Away From Anything We
Hive.

Washington, May 13--Considerable
speculation has been INDUCED in TODAY at
the Navy Department as to the prospects
of sea fight between Admiral Sampson's
squadron and the Spanish Cape Verde
fleet. It is believed that Admiral Samp
son will be able to intercept them should
they make dash for Cuba, but if they
should get past his vessels they would
make it warmafor our ships ON blockade
duty off Cienfuegos. The latter could not
stand for moment against the big
Spanish armored cruisers, and yet are not
fleet enough to escape If they are sighted.
Should Sampson sight the Spanish fleet
it is not certain that he could engage
them, provided the admiral found it to
his interest to decline the engagement.
The Spanish ships are faster than any
thing in the American squadron with
the possible exception of the flagship New
York. Ii Sampson should fall in with
them, however, and find the Spaniards in
a fighting humor, he would have the best
of it. as far as chances can be calculated
from the respective number of armored
ships and guns. The big battleships
Indiana and Iowa, though 20 PER cent
slower than the Vizcaya class, far over
match them in offensive and defensive
power. Their armor belts and turrets
could not be pierced at a lighting range
of 1000 yards by the biggest gun mounted
by the Spaniards, while the 70 and IS
inch guns of our battleships could per.
forate the Spanish armor belts. The
New York, however. is interior in both
offensive power and armor to the Spanish
vessels, though she might hold her own
by superior management and gunnery.
If Sampson had taken his whole fleet. the
monitors Amphitrite and Terror would
make up more than a balance of power
against the Spaniards, allowing the
cruisers Montgomery, Detroit and Marble
head as force sufficient to take care of
the Spanish torpedo boat destroyers. The
latter, however, are almost untried ele
ments in actual warfare and some naval
officers fear that they are much more
dangerous foes than the ordinary
strategists allow i'll their calculations

Gussie Expedition Was Not Success
This Time.

Key West, May 13.-Information Of a
vague character reached here of the at
tempt to land on Cuban soil Of the cargo
of arms and ammunition taken out by
the steamer Gussie on Wednesday night
The Gussie came from Tampa with 700
rifles and large quantity of am1nuni-
ton, clothing and provisions for the Gu
ban insurgents The expedition was in
charge of Capt. ]. H. Dorst of the U. S.
cavalry. who recently landed a similar
one from the Leyden after an engagement
with the Spanish troops on shore. With
him we're about 100 members of the First
Infantry Of the regular army and ten
Cuban scouts,
- Arrangements had been made to have
q body OF insurgents meet the Gussie at
Cabanas to receive the expedition and
carry it TIC the insurgent troops. When
tho Gussie reached Cabanas yesterday,
however. there was no one there to meet
but body of Spanish soldiers who
opened fire from the shore. The auxiliary
gunbeats Wesp and Manning had met the
Gussis on the way over and acted as es-
oorE They returned the fire of the Span
tsh troops and are said to have killed
many. though this, of course, is largely
onnjeotural. Under the protection of the
gun boats, a scout, and a detail of SOL
aiers, Landing was made, but they were
driven back by the Spanish troops who
maintained vigorous attack. One of the
American party was shot in the arm, but
mono Of the others were injured. The
Gussia eventually abandoned any attempt
