While monkeying with two paw

the other day, the los struck
his fool and badly bruised it, and
knocked him unconscious for a
few hours, but he soon recovered
from the effects. William a saw

the warves that they were not seenj
until they opened fire on the Ameri- j
cans. Shore batteries also opened!
fire. A solid shot struck the Wins
low's boiler and that rendered her
helpless, and as she lay motionless
she was a fine mark for the Span
ish gunners.

Sampson the itiimnander of the
American licet Itombarded the
place, and il was there the two
.Americans were killed by shot
from the Spanish foris. A number
of Americans were kille in attempt -in;.'
to land oui'uba. See account
under head of Naval Warfare.
The t 'uban rebels are poorly sup
plied v. i! h arms and munitions of
war. An effort was made on the
J2t!i to land from the American
ship ju.-ii- at ':diau:i; 7o!! rides
and other munitions til war for the
Cubans, wilh about ! lnemlsers of
the First infantry of the I'.S. Ue

American soldiers, insiead of the
rebels bein.'i t here a lmdy oi Spanish

fire on the A meii ans. The fire
was returned, with what effect is
not known. One American was
wounded. The (Jussie when last
heard from was trying to Cud a
landing place among relwl friends
to give them arms and nmnitionsof
war with which to fight the Span
iards. A more considerable fight
than that tMik place on Friday in
the habor of Cicnfuegns on the p
ositeoi'liie Island from Havana.
Tliree gnu boats, the Yarblehead.
the Nashville, and the Winslow,
liad been sent to Cicnfnegos to cut
the cable connecting i (a vauu and
Santiago DeCulia. a place at the
west end of Cuba. Four sm;ll
boats were lowered, the sea tele
graph wire was grappled and cut.
Seven I thousand Spanish troops
lay concealed from sight behind
breast works on t he shore and from
them poii n d vol ley after vol ley at the
nienengaged cuttingthe cable. The
three gunboats mentioned above
sliciicd the shore batteries from a
distance l' :t thousand yards, a
light house on the shore was de
molished ami other fort !iic;iii'iis
battered. Six men on bo;,r! the
ships weir wounded and ;:ii:ocg

eapt lire can be made of the Span

among the many islands of the At
lantic the American troops will be
transported to Cuba to give battle
to the Spaniards. It has been
deemed best not to attempt to land
troops until the Spanish :icct has
been disjmsed of One of the sing
ular fortunate circumstances for
Americans, and unfortunate for
I he Spaniards, was that of the last
Spanish gnu boat on tin- Pacific
