lery to st. Michaels, the officer in charge
having orders to proceed at once up the

SCHOONER CAPTURED
Lieutenant Wilson and IA Men En-
tered Cortis' Bay and De-
stroyed the Ship.
FACED HEAVY RIFLE FIRE
Spaniards in Ambuscade Routed by Shells
from Small Gun-One American
Killed-Vessel Loaded with
Provisions,

Key West, Fla, Aug. 1l.-Emanue
Kourlouris, coal passer on the gunboat
Bancroft, was killed during IA sharp en-
gagement with Spanish rlemen at q
point OF land jutting in Cortis bay or
the south coast of Pinar del Rio, Angus
g The Spanish loss was undoubtedl,
severe. The Bancroft was cruising
about Cortis bay on blockade duty when
sail was seen close to land, about ten
miles to the northward. The gunboat's
steam launch was armed with one
FOUNDER and Lieutenant Henry b. Will
son with IA men, all carrying rifles,
sent in to intercept the stranger
She turned out to be Spanish schooner
BY the time the steam launch reached
that point the schooner had worked
into the port and a party of Spaniards,
including body of soldiers was attempt
ing to haul her ashore. The launch
stood boldly in and brisk fire from her
one pounder speedily scattered the
crowd.
The Spaniards took refuge in the high
grass, but in spite of the fact that the
party in the launch was ignorant of the
enemy's strength, the Americans went
ahead with the work with admirable
coelness. James Monroe, first class ap-
prentice, swan to the schooner and
made line fast to her in order to pull
her ont. At the same time Valdemar
Hopengren, an ordinary seaman, dropped
over the side of the launch and made for
the pier where small slooped rugged
boat was moored. The launch then com
menced to haul off the schooner but
the line parted, and while another was
being run to her, the Spaniards who had
sought shelter in the woods poured in
a murderous rifle fire. KourlouriS was
shot through the breast and fell dead.
Fortunately no one else was injured
Instantly the men in the launch began
a rapid return of the fire with rifles.
While Lieutenant Wilson maneuvered
the launch so as to take line thrown
by Hohengreen from the small boat
which he had showed off from the pier,
her bow was pulled out and the one
FOUNDER was opened on the ambuscade
with such well directed aim that the
Spaniards were routed without a chance
to return the American fire. The
schooner had in the mean time gone
hard aground, and being SO damaged as
to be almost useless, enough shells were
sent through her to finish her destruc
ton. She was loaded with green corn,
grain and rum.

A cablegram was received at the depart-

that out of regard for the United States
the italian government telegraphed

Colombia, to give the Colombian gov
