MARINES FIGHT A BATTLE.
American Ships Fired on by Dominican
Insurgents.

American Ships Fired on by Dominican
Insurgents.
A cablegram from Santo Domingo last
night says:
The Clyde line steamer New York arrived
here this morning conveyed by the United
States cruiser Newark. and Minister Powell
instructed the captain of the vessel to dis
charge his cargo at the wharf. An agree
ment had been made by Minister Powell
and Commander Miller with the insurgents
and the government that neither party
should fire while the New York was at the
wharf discharging.
The government kept the agreement. but
the insurgents fired on the steamer and on
a launch from the cruiser Newark, which
was entering the river. Eight rife shots
damaged the New York's woodwork,
dangering the lives of the passengers and
crew.
Shelled the Town.
The commander Of the United States war
ships then decided to shell Pajarito near
this city, the place occupied by the insur-
gents. and to land 800 marines. with the OBJ
ject of furnishing the insurgents for insult
ing the United States flag and damaging an
American steamer
At go pm. the Newark approached and
opened fire. discharging ten shells. The in
surgents fired upon the marines while they
were lanuinS, WOunQlng some or them. The
marines returned the fire and the insur-
gents ran away.
Insurgents Escaped.
The marines landed were divided into two
columns and searched the houses. woods
and bushes. They then followed the In
surgents. who fired while the marines were
reloading.
The result of the bombardment is not
known.
The New York left here at 5 pm. for the
roadstead after landing her cargo.
All is now quiet, and it is supposed that
the insurgents have retreated a considerable
distance.
Reports from the interior are favorable
to the government.
Great misery exists in the city for want
of food. and the arrival of the Clyde line
steamer Is great relief The steamer
could not land portion of her cargo at
Monte Cristo, being prevented from doing
so by a Dominican warship.
Rebels Repulsed.
This morning the government troops at
tackled the rebels outside the city. and Sc
we're firing ensued, lasting many hours. The
rebels were forced to retire. leaving many
killed and wounded on the field. The action
resulted in complete victory for the gov
eminent, and the siege of the city is consid-
cred to have been raised.
