the situation is speculative and without

what the day has brought forth at San

sition OF the American forces. give op-

which. with the Marblehead's launch. has
been doing patrol duty in the narrows
leading from the lower bay to the upper
bay, ventured too near the Spanish fort
just after daylight to-day, and ran into
u hornet s-nest.
AS a result Of the mems anxiety TO To-
cate the small Spanish gunboat Sandoval,
which is known to be in the vicinity OF
the fort, the Americans went quite dis
tance beyond the patrol limits, and the
Spanish pickets located along the bluffs
suddenly opened fire on the launch with
Mauser rifles, and were at once followed
by voleys from soldiers in the fort. The
launch replied with her one-pounder, but
the firing of the Spaniards WAS entireiy
too heavy for the little boat TO cortend
against, and she beat hurried retreat
Although the launch was under fire for
ten minutes, she was not hit once.
