dispatch from Key West, Fla,
zsys from the fact that the Spaniarcs
opaRsd fire on our ships while the lat
ter Wers making a reconnaissance IL
iorce, and when the vessels were near
]y five miles out from the batteries,
leads to the belisf that the enemy be-
Geved that all that was necessary to
induce the United States fl :et 10 move
further away was for the batteries to
open fire on them.
But If, from former experience, they
had reached this conclusion, they
found that forhearance had reached
the limit, and they must have ben
intensity astonished when The New
York, being the farthest West but the
neasest in shore, opened FIRE with her
batteries with vengeance, and steam
ing nearer shore, accompanied by her
eonsorts, made such excellent practice
with her guns that in eig hteen minutes
every Spanish gun was silenced.
Iswould have been worth s years
nay to any one to have seen the Il !, c:s
OF the last shot fred, that from the
Puritan's 12-irch pet, WREN mass Of
stones, earth and q BATHS went sixty
feet in the air, falling in the rear o.!
the spot where Spanish gun hs0
bean but q few minutes before.
There must have been many casual.
ties On the Spanish side, since the
rapid fire guns were used on all the
ahips, IS well as those of larger cali
bre. It seems to be the general opin
ion that the Spsniards had nothing
heavier than Sinch guns, and tia:
they had very poor gurners with aay
of their ordnance.
However, just before the Spanish
batteries were silence6, one gun on the
west side OF the barber seemed to be
getting tie range OF the flagship sevs-
raj shots striking near the New York
and on both sides Of her.
II the purpose Of the reconassiance
and the subse ouent canroDaoe was TO
secure an svsliable place Tor the land
ing later Of United States troops, suca
purpose has been well accomplished,
for no doubt exists that the Spanish
batteries at AatanZas have been ST
enced for good, or st least fer longer
time than will be necessary 10 effect q
landing.

4 dispatch from Washington says
the bombardment of tbs Matansas
forts Was ordered two days before it
took place, and there is a deep purpose
in i. The Spaniards begun to sus.
pect that when the i nited States struck
blow at Cuba it would be by way OF
Matauzas. Information reached the
war department Sunday week that
Blarco was making strenuous efforts
to mount several big guns at Point
R1balcava and Point Maya. Secre.
tary AIger contended that it would
be an omission of duty to allow the
Spaniards to 90 much further. Presi.
dent Mckinley and Secretary Long
agreed with him and orders were
given Sampson. There was an object
IL the first battle fought between the
United States and Spain. It is the in
tention Of the administration to pre-
serve tae guns in Moro castle and

LIEUT.. ROWAN LANDS IN cU5A.

First Lieut.. Andrew Rowan of the
Nineteenth Isfantry, under orders
fron the war department, was landed
on he Cuban coast somewhere west
Of Saotiago, probs5ly before dawn on
Mo2Gay. His Cuten guides and an
open sail boat were used. The guides
have 10. returned.
Lieutenant Rowan is on his way to

S.ates The time and place Of inya.
sion will be controlled by events and
the character Of Lieutenant RoWan's
dispatches.
Lieutenant Rowan was detailed from
the bureau of information for this
dangerous service-dsngerous because
IN his civilian dress he is liable to be
treated as spy. He speaks Spanish
and knows Cuba, having written a
beck on the subject. Moreover, he IS
an expert map maker.
Lieutenant Rowan left Washington
under instant orders on April 8, He
IVES directed to wait here, prepared to
&C 10 Porto Rico Or Cuba. AS he Went
70 eastern Cuba, it is inferred that s
bow will be struck there bsfore one
IS struck a. Porto Rico.
With him he took an official Span
isa section map of eastern Cuba, with
enenGations made by the war depart
ment photographers. The expectation
;s that General Calixto Garcia will
dispose his forces to cover landing
of'Unite6 States troops as plearranged.
4 courier with Lieutenant Rowan 3
fist dispatches to the war department
will probably leave General Garcia s
camp next week.
