THE "BOWERY EVANGELIST" AID
DRESSED A MEETING OF MEN YES
TERDAY AFTERNOON.
The "Bowery Evangelist" Mike Riley,
addressed a large audience of men at
Association. Hall yesterday afternoon He
said that he was not present to assai any
church or denomination, but to speak Of
the only Church that saves-Jesus Christ.
lie asked how many Roman Catholics
were present. A few hands were elevated.
and Evangelist Riley said they should not
be ashamed of their religion, but he could
point out forty Catholics present. He i'm
plored them to live strictly to the rules
Of their Church. The speaker said he de-
voted five minutes of his daily prayers to
God in asking that he not be made a lee
turer, as there are too many lecturers in
the church to-day. What he wanted was
to be a living witness that God will save
to the uttermost. Many persons depend
upon the church for their salvation. No
church will save. 1t rests upon the indi-
vidual who desires salvation. The Catho-
lie priest. the speaker said, nor the Metho-
dist minister will be held responsible for
the salvation of his congregation.
The speaker then showed how each per-
son could be saved by praying, and he
recited his own life as an example of what
transformation could be wrought by the
grace of God. In speaking of the drink
habit he said he did not think any man
could take one drink and then saying he
had enough, not touch the second glass
as in time they will become as great slaves
as the people in Cuba or in the land from
which he came-Ireland. For the moder-
ate drinker. he said, he had as much re.
spect as st. Patrick had for rattlesnakes
in Ireland. He concluded his talk with an
eXhortation for all to come to Christ"

INTEREST AT KEY. WEST
Spanish Marksmanship the Subject of
Comment

KEY WEST, April 2s, Ills a.m.-The
bombardment of the forts of Matanzas by
the United States cruiser New York, the
flagship of Rear Admiral Sampson. the
monitor Puritan and the cruiser Cincin-
natl is eagerly discussed here, and every
incident of the affair Is weighed and re-
weighed by army and navy officers and
the newspapermen. Interest in the en-
Eagement is mixed with the delight at the
fact that there are no casualties to re-
cord on the American side, not one Of our
ships being even touched. There is much
curiosity as to the effect of our fire upon
the enemy, but at present all information
on this point is lacking.
The fact that the Spaniards opened fire
on our ships while the latter were making
a reconnaissance in force and when the
vessels were nearly five miles out from the
batteries leads to the opinion that the
enemy believed that all that was neces-
sary to induce the United States fleet to
move further away was for the batteries
to open fire on them. But they found that
forbearance had reached the limit and
must have been intensely astonished when
the New York, being the farthest west
but the nearest in shore, opened fire with
her batteries with q vengeance, ana
steamng nearer shore, accompanied by
her consorts, made such excellent prac-
tice with her guns that within Is minutes
every Spanish gun was silenced. 1t was
said to have been worth . years pay to

A SPECIAL ACCOUNT
The Guns Silenced and the Defenses
DESTROYED


NEW YORK, April 2s.-A dispatch via
Key West from correspondent of the
Herald, who was witness of the lombard
ment Of Matanzas by the American ships.
says:
Admiral Sampson this afternoon bonn
barded silenced and pretty we'll destroyed
the Spanish batteries in position and in
course of construction at the entrance Of
the harbor of Matanzas. He did it with the
flagship New York, the monitor Puritan
and the cruiser Cincinnati.
Not one of the American ships was
struck, the Spanish gunners being wild.
There is as yet no means of knowing the
number of dead and wounded on the Span
ish side. 1t must be considerable.
While the New York, Puritan and Cincin-
natl were accommodating in force for the
purpose of locating and destroying the for
midable defenses being constructed the
flagship was fired on by the batteries On
Points Rubal Caya and Maya, guarding
the entrance to the harbor. The New York
replied, firing her forward 8-incn gun on
the port side. She steamed boldly in be-
tween the batteries and soon blazed away
with both broadsides at them.
The Puritan steamed in behind the New
York and engaged the Notifications OH
Point Maya, while the New York went to
starboard close up to the land and poured
her shells into Point Rubal Caya. The Gin
cinnati which had remained well astern
under orders, signaled for permission to
engage and received 1t, and sooa was firing
her guns at the forts on the west side Of
the bay. The batteries fired explosive
shells and most Of them tell widc Of the
mark. One burst Just beyond the stern

cult of the funnel, except where the
Umarie river passes through. l went to
the top of these high hills, which command
a fine view of the harbor and such defenses
as existed, and later went by train ana
by foot around the harbor to get general
view of the situation. Only one fort was
in existence at that time. 1t was San
Saverino, at the right Of the entrance OF
| the harbor. There were no shore batteries
or defenses at or adjacent to Matanzas.
nor were there any, so far as l could OBJ

bor, San Saverino is an old-time Spanish
fort. completely out of date in point or

has stood a hundred years or more, and
at best is only small affair. This Is the

square block house and calling 1t fort.
but it has none of the characteristics or a
modern fortiflcation, and while good
enough to repel insurgent infantry and
cavalry, would amount to absolutely moth
ing against the big guns of warship.
But even these had not been started
month ago. Since then rough earthworks
may have been thrown up hastily, but
little could have been accomplished In a
month, and certainly no Notifications OF
| masonry could have been erected. never
heard of Fort Rubal Cava, mentioned In
the report of the reduction of the defenses
of Matanzas, and no such fort existed
when l was there a month ago. This may,
however, have been one of the impromptu
defenses which the Spaniards style forts.
The camps of the reconcentrados are on
the sweep of the hills back of Matanzas
and on the side opposite San Saverino.
There are two Of these camps, one on the
highest ground and another further down,
where are huddled together the poor Gu
ban sufferers. Judging from my observa-
ton, l would not think the defenses or
Matanzas could make a very stubborn
fire or that their reduction would be a
difficult task for a few of our warships.
After talking with the naval chiefs. Sen
ator Money concluded that the attack on
Matanzas was not serious affair, and he
added the remark that, from his observa-
tions, he believed few of the old smooth
bores could knock to pieces all the de-
lenses Matanzas possessed.
