A NAVAL ENGAGEMENT.
American Gunner on Honduran Gun-
 boat Eaters Enemy.

PUERTO CORTEZ, March 26.-Dis- patches regarding the engagement at sea between the Honduran gunboat 1alumbla and the Nicaraguan gunboat Ometepe near Trujillo have been re- ceived here.
 American gunners on board the Ia lumbla were responsible for the vic. tory over the Nicaraguan gunboats Ometepe and San Jacinto.
 The steamer Olympia. with Hondu- ran troops on board. joined the Talum- bla at Ceiba. Honduras. and a large Hotchkiss gun was transferred from the Olympia to the Talumbla. making her armament one Hotchkiss gun for ward under Gunner W. P. Kennedy. an American. who served with the rough riders in Cuba during the Spanish-American war: one Hotchkiss gun aft under Gunner R. Greenwood and the larger Hotchkiss gun midship under Gunner J. Adams Muench. for merly on the United States cruiser Brooklyn.
 The expedition proceeded at mid night, with the Olympia and barges conveyed by the Talumbla.
 These forces marched along the beach toward Trujillo in the early morning. and the Talumbla headed in the same direction at sea.
 Near Trujillo no enemy was seen. and no vessels could be distinguished in the harbor. but suddenly from around a point the Nicaraguan gun boat Ometepe was discovered steam ing directly out to sea. while a small gunboat. the San Jacinta. was headed westward toward the Talumbla close in shore. The oinetepe soon changed her course to the westward. and the plan to get the Talumbla between the two Nicaraguan gunboats became ap- parent
 The Talumbla then changed her course and headed toward Hog island. and both Nicaraguan vessels headed directly for her The Ometepe gained rapidly on the TaIumbls and when within 2.0oo yards opened fire. Nine shots were fired by the Ometepe. but none of them struck the Talumbla. al though some fell within fifty yards of her
 The Talumbla returned the fire from the stern gun Gunner Muench took charge of this gun after four shots hsd been fired and fired nine shots st the Ometepe. The second and seventh shots struck the Ometepe in the bow. Although gaining rapidly on the Ia lumbla. the Ometepe sent up signals and. with the Ssn Jscinto. turned and headed for TrujiIlO. The TaIumbla did not follow.
 Of3cers of the United States gun boat Marietta. which arrived here from Trujillo. confirmed the report that the Ometepe was damaged and said they had heard that several of her men had been killed or wounded
