THAT BOMBARDMENT
OF MATANZAS CITY
Concluded from Page 1.
nnd four thousand yards distant from It,
und opened a vigorous cannonade.
The llagshlp used five of licr 8-Inch funs
and all of her 4-inch quick Ilrers that
would bear, while tho Cincinnati flrtd C
tnch nnd 5-lnch guns, und tho ilro was
exceedingly heavy, as both ships and
thoro batteries burned cocoa powder. A
heavy band of smoke almost hid the land
from right. Through It, however. I was
able ugaln nnd netIn to see sand and
bushes around tho gi'n positions rising In
clouds, whllo the water around tho flag
ship was spli-shhig frequently Into col
umns of spray whnro the Spanish pro
jectiles were. falling.
So far us could bo made out the whole
of tho SpanlFh lire from 1'unUi Uordu was
directed ut tho New Yelk. She, was, not,
however, struck onco during tho engage
ment. 1 believe the Spaniards fired only
solid shot, ns no burst of shells wns Keen
by any one. After tho light I was told
that ono shrapnel buret about one hun
dred feet above the llugship, but only ono
observer on tho ship liericlf reports It.
EIRE OF OCR SHIPS EXCELLENT.
The tiro of tho American ships was rx
icllent, and them must have been heavy
loss In the Spanish works. After about
twenty minutes- lire the. batteries were si
lenced and the ships ceased llrlng.
Tho muiiltor, which had been marking
the Cardenas battery with mi Intermit
tent flro, was signalled to close up. As
ho cumo .round ,n small gun wns llrcd at
ln-r anil 'the projectile (hopped between
her and tho New York. Almost Instanlv
tlio Puritan replied with a 12-Inch shell
which ploughed directly Into the very
M't frum which the Spanish gun was
fncd.
The huge projectile exploded with tcr
Uilc effect. The sand nnd earth roso six
ty feet In the air, leaving u gap behind
that showed nearly half tho battery had
been drmolMiPd. This was tho last shot
tired, nnd tho ships drew slowly oft for
nhotit three miles.
NO CASPALTIKS ON SHU'S.
We balled the flagship and learned that
there had been no casualties on board any
if thu ships. If tho action Is to bo taken
rw n meas'in ot the accuracy of the
Spanish gunnery, the Ameilcan fleet will
i ut have ,t dllllcult task lu reducing Hav
ana anil the other foitillcatlous on the
tibau coast. The New Yotk and Cincin
nati, both very largo shlp, Iny broadside
on the batteries at Mulatizus today fur
twenty minutes at throe thou.-ands yard:!,
offering a target that any expert gunner
could haidly have missed, but no shell
caiiio nearer than one hundred yards, and
some of them fell i.early a mile off. The
Ameilcan sailors arc full ol enthusiasm
over tho light.
ANOTHER VERSION.
Tho description written by Richard
H.irding Davis follows:
Tho llrst shot, was filed from the s-lneli
gun of tho New Yi rk amidships on the
pi ft side. It is under Cadet Hoone. Thu
harbor of Jlatanzas Is protected from 'he
sea by a. long, low strip of land covered
with mangue. On this point a battery had
been placed, and for the Inst few da the
ofllcers of tho Puritan and Cincinnati had
observed men working un the ramparts
and placing the guns In portion. This
fact nas reported to the admiral, and the
bombardment of today was to clear the
point of this fort.
When tho call came to general quarters
the flagship was four thousand Minis oft
the' shore. Tho l'urltun was about one
thousand yards further out, on the New
York's port side, and thu Cincinnati lay
still nnother thousand yards out. moving
slowly to tho starboard of tho ship. Ad
miral Sampson and Captain ChaiT.vIck
were on tho foiward brldgo throughout
the bombardment.
Tho bull's oye at which the first gun
was trained wa-s a long rampart of yellow
earth, about two hundred yards long.
With a glass it was qulto possible to see
groups of men moving about It.
Tln first shot fell about a hundred yards
to tho right of this bank, and thn
mangua bushes wero thrown up Into tho
nlr In a cloud of yellow sand. The sec
ond shot camo from one of the eight-Inch
guns in tho forward turret, which Is un
der command of Lieutenant Frank Mar
ble. STUl'CIC PAIR IN CENTER.
It fell at tho extreme edge of the point,
two hundred yards to the left of tho fort,
but Its slst-jr gun followed It like a rever
beration of tho lltst, and sliuek the fort
lair In the center with a projectile twenty-five
laches long und weighing 250
pounds.
The earthworks rose lu the ulr like a,
ge.vser of muddy water and the woik of
many men for three days was demolished
as completely and as suddenly as though
a n earthquake, had swallowed It up. How
mauy of those men were demolished with
tho earthworks, or what guns were dis
mantled it was lmposlsble to see.
Simultaneously with this third shot it
battery lu u. fort nil the further sid of
tho harbor opened on tho war ships, und
guns from ull parts of the ship teturncd
the fire. It was Impossible to keep count
ot them. Tho smoke, us It drifted back
over the ship's superstructure und be
tween decks made it almost dllllcult to
teo which of the shots had reached tho
shore.
Not more than five or six thuls from tho
foils came near the flagship. One shell
fell about a hundred yards to the stern,
another fell short by a hundred yards and
a shrapnell shell broke almost overhead.
There was no casualties of the men.
Of course, the fact that the ship was pre
pared for this and stripped lor action and
that every unnecessary piece of Iron
and wood work had been removed ac
counted for the little damage dona by
the concussion of her great guns.
PERPKCT DISCIPLINE.
This wns the llrst time one of our
greatest war ships has gone into action,
and It was Interesting to note the per
feetucss of discipline that obtained. Of
ficers gave their orders in voices hardly
abovo that of every day. Jlen laughed
when tho shots struck home, but there
was no cheering, nor no greater show of
excitement than at practice. At the samo
tlmo the deck of tha superstructure
heaved, and where your correspondent
stood, on tho forward bridge back of tho
turret, tho concussion of her guns made
iho ear drums tingle, and the smoke
tilled the mouths and nostrils of tho of
ficers nnd dimmed their eyes so that it
was. for a second nt a time, Impossible
to sco or to speak.
NI'JIBER OP SHOTS EIRED.
one of the Herald's correspondents
says:
All told tho United Slates ships llred
eighty-si shois nt the forts. Tha forts
fired probably twenty live shots. Hut far
inoro Important than the destruction of
tho Mulanzus batteries Is tho conclusion
about the future which may be drawn
from tho bombardment. This conclusion
Is that iluniia Is ebsclutely at the mercy
of tho United Status fleet whenever we
i hoose to open Are.
Admiral Hampton today, with guns
which amount to less thanonc-tenth of
his fighting force, silenced practically
threo batteries In eighteen minutes. He
steamed right In on them as closo as he
could got, and not ono ot our ships was
touched.
Whut Is to bo said of a gunner that can
not hit u mark as big as the New York
at two or three thousand yurds. The lnc.
dent has greatly encouruged the naval
ofllcers, and they believe that when they
bombard Havana they will destroy nil tho
defences in about ono hour.

Colored Companies to follow.
Chlckninauga National Tnrk, April
2S. Two companies of the Ninth (col
ored) cavalry, which nrrlved In Chat
tanooga late this afternoon, were
stopped after having started to Chlcka
muuga nnd switched Into tho Western
nnd Atlantic yards. Orders arc snld to
huvc been received to have the troops
to proceed as rapidly ns possible to

from Mobile have nlso been ordered,
nnd they will leave here before morn
ing. It Is currently reported that the
companies of the Ninth regiment In
camp here will bo shipped at once to
Tampa, nH well as the Twenty-fourth
Infantry, colored. The movement of
troops to Tninpa Is believed to embrace
not only the colored troops, but nil tho
artillery stationed here ns well.
The shipment of tho Ninth cavalry,
followed by the sudden departure to
day of two batteries of artillery for
Tampa, has ptoduced n fever of ex
citement among the soldiers.

sities ot the sltuutlon do not require
that any member of the National
Guard of Pennsylvania shall con
sider himself bound by such member
ship to enlist In tint service ut the
l'nlted States, If such enlistment slTOI
Imposo upon him personal sacrifices
not made necessary under the limited
call of the president, or hardships
upon thoso who are dependent upon

enlistment bo In any wise considered
an avoidance of duty or bn to the
prejudice of men who, willing to en
dure everything for their flag and

Claim 8 International Law In Violated
by tho Cuban Blockade.
Madrid, April 28. In the senate today
Generul Donoso greatly eulogized the
captain of the transport Monsorrat for
running the blockade. Admiral I3er
mejo, minister of marine, replying,
said the government had decided to
offer u decoration on the olllcer.
Senator Toca declared that tho
blockado of a part of tho Cuban coast
wus contrary to International law und
calculated to cause great Injury to neu
trals. He hoped that neutral powers
would act "In behalf of their own in
terests" and urged tho government to
issue n circular note to the powers ex
plaining the situation.
Admiral Uermeju promised that tho
government would take up the ques
tion with a view of communicating Its
conclusions to tho powers.

THE MARKETS.
Unll .Slrorl Itevleiv.
New York, April SS. The stock matket
was qultu uctlvo und animated today
compared with tho lethargy and sluggish
ness of yesterday. The day's business
wns not by any means largo nnd tbero
wero prolonged periods of dullness be
tween spurts of activity. Thoro was no
outside Interest In tho market of any itn
portanco and the buying was duo to the
Initiative of ono or two prominent oper
ators, who distributed orders with a lib
eral hand all through the active list. This
aggressive leadership Invited inoro or less
following among tho small room traders.
The slight declines at tho opening wero
quickly overcome. Tho excellent trqlllo
statements of tho Granger roads, the St.
1'aul statement of cstcrday being supple
iiii'ntid by llurllngton's today, were fac
tors In tho strength. Tho Grangers were
conspicuous In the trading and led the ad
vance In the railroad list. Total sales
weio 175,100 shares.
