THE FORTS BOMBARDED, Advices Indieating Thet the American Ships Have Forced an Entrance Into the Bay Fourteen Atherican Warships ¥n. gage in the Bombardment of the Forts ~The Naval Officials Discredit Reports. About 2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon an American squadron, composed of fourteen warships, began a bombardment with heavy guns against the forts and the harbor of Santiago de Cuba, Tha forts of Morro Castle, La Zeeapa and Punta Gorda suffered especially. The ean- oconading was persistent and cannot have falled to be destructive. It lasted until 8.45 P.M DREW THE BATTERIES FIRE, Fortifications at Santiago Were Struck by Many Shots. For an hour Tuesday afternoon the Mas- sachusetts, Iowa, New Orleans aod Vixen, of Commodore Schley's squadron, exchanged shots with the Spanish fleet under Admiral Cervera and with the land batteries guard- ing the harbor of Santiago de Cuba, behind which the Spanish fleet was hiding. Dispatches from Cape Haytlen, Hayti, state that Commodore Schley attacked the Spanish fleet in the harbor of Santiago de Cuba, and that the advantage appenred to be with the Americans, Navy Department officials say that such a battle could not have occurred, Two of the Bpanish torpedo boat destroy- ors attacked the battle ship Texas Sunday night but were repulsed, An attack on Havana is not expected for some months, as the President expects to have 100,000 men well drilled and equipped for it.

No attempt was made bythe American rommander to bring on a general engage- ment, it being merely his desire to locate the batteries on the hills above the harbor and to determine the position of the Spanish forts, Massachusetts Led the Line. A short time before 10 A. M. Commodore Schley left the Brooklyn for the Massachu- setts, on which battle ship he remained dur- ing the fighting. At 1 P. M. the signal to form column was holsted on the Massachu- sbtts. The New Orleans and Vixen fell in in the order named. The Massachusetts steamed slowly until about five miles west of the harbor entrance, when she turned in toward the shore, When about 5,000 yards off, she turned east again and bore down on the harbor, the New Or- leans being close up and the Iowa ball a mile behind, The flagship gradually increased her #peed, and was soon running through the water at the rate of 10 knots an hour. drew closer and closer to the batteries, and to the anxious watchers on the other ships It seemed that she would never open fire. A Shot Strikes the Cristobal Colon. When sho passed the harbor entrance by 50) yards a great cloud of white and yellow smoke burst from the two 18-inch gups in ber after turret, and two shells rose over the hill, one of them striking the Spanish flag. ship Cristobal Colon full and falr as she lay at her auchorage, and the other falling close ha Bhe alongside, The two guns in the forward turret were then fired. Their shells fn exploding threw up great jets of spray close to the Colon. All the shore batteries took up the chal- | lenge and began a rapid fire on the Massa- | chusetts. But she range, and the batteries then their guns on the New Orleans, This cruiser had been directed to pay attention to the batt-r- les and to draw their fire as much as ¥ ble. She Instructions to letter, wos soon beyond their | turned obeyed her Tearing Up Fortifieations. The first shot of the New Orleans located | a large battery on the hill above the M It flew straight into the fort, and caused much damage, as a cloud « debris rose as the shell burst, A Wore shots sent part of the walls of Morro fiying into the air, and then the New Orleans con. fined hersel! to the batteries, her fire rapid and extremely accurate, » she fired made trouble for Spain. The Iowa was next, and like the M clrusetts, devoted her attestion to the lying within the harbor. Her 12-inch shells made the water fly all around that part of the harbor in which the Cristobal Colon lay. The latter was not seriously damaged, and kept up a fire until long after the American ships steamed out of range, After the Iowa came little Vixen, which apparently had no business in a fight | where battle ships were engaged. Dat she scuddied aiong after the Iowa like a fox terrier following a mastiff, When at the proper point she let fly with her one § pounder and glided away, promptly eon- scious of having done ber best. Back for Another Attack. After the Vixen had passed the forts, the | Massachusetts turn again to the west. ward, followed by the other ships In the game order with the exception of the Vixen, whith was ordered to keep out of trouble. The ironciads bore down on the harbor once more. The flagship kept in until less than 4.000 yards from the shore, and then her shells began to rain. This time the shore batteries were better served, and the Spaniards replied to the warships in en- ergetic fashion. But nearly all the shots from the batteries foil short, American Ships Withdrawn. Theg came the New Orleans once more, her long, black guns doing fearful work and tearing up the ground all around the bat terfes. The Spaniards dropped shells close to the Iowan, as she came by for the second time, Boon the American vessels with drew, The Spaniards fired about three hundred shots and the Americans fired about one. forth that number. No American vessel was hit and no one on board an American ship was injured. The Spanish loss was not heavy, The Spanish ships with the exception of the Cristobal Colon, were behind the hills, but hopefully raised the mnuzzles of their guns aod banged away. The result was what might have been expected. Their fire tore the bosom of the Caribbean sea, but it harmed nothing else, After the Massachusetts has passed the point where she could fire into the harbor with advantage, she turned to the open sea, the other vessels following her, The fight was then over, as far as the Americans were con- cerned. Spanish honor, however, dem and- ed that soms further destruction of gun. powder be made, so the ships boomed and the land batteries roared long after the American vessels wera entirely out of range, “Worse Guanary Never Seen’ , The affair soon became ludicrous, as noarly all of the Spanish shells fell from two to three miles from the vessels at whie™ they were almed, Worse gunnery was never seen, One lusty man with a basketlul of brickbats would be capable of as much de rec, must } of dust fow the struction as the Spaniards se:med# capable of creating. steamer Vestormal Santiago.
