Spring Has Come.; Special to Kvknino Hkkald. St. Thomas, West Indies, May 13. The American fleet, under Rear Admiral Sampson, at day break yesterday, after a severe bom bardment lasting three hours, reduced the fortifications at San Juan de Porto Rico. The Detroit led the American squadron into the harbor, and at a signal the Iowa, in command of " Fighting Bob" Evans, opened fire on Morro fort. The Detroit, followed by the Indiana, New York, Terror and Amphitrite steamed into the harbor. Admiral Sampson's squadron consists of the armored cruiser New York, his flagship ; the battleships Indiana and Iowa ; two monitors, one of which is the Amphitrite and the other, it is said, the Puritan ; the unprotected cruisers Marblehead and Detroit, the torpedo boat Porter and the torpedo boat destroyer Mayflower, with several scout boats and other boats. The American fleet's first round was aimed too low, and did little damage. The second round, however, was at the proper elevation, and completely silenced the fort and set fire to the town. Spanish marksmanship was wretched and did little damage. The New York, Admiral Sampson's flag ship, was hit but once. This shot killed seaman Wedernerk, and injured four others on that vessel. The Iowa was also hit but once, and three of her sailors were in jured, but not seriously. They were seamen Merkle, Hill, and Mitchell. The loss on shore was large, and the people in the city, when the bombardment began, sought refuge in the interior. Admiral Sampson has effected a blockade of San Juan and is now awaiting the approach of the Spanish Cape Verde fleet. Washington, May 13. Secretary I,ong early this morning received a despatch from Rear Admiral Sampson corroborating the report of the bombardment of San Juan, Porto Rico, contained in the fore-going despatches.
