Key West, May H, 10:00 a. m. A
fight has taken place off Cienfuegos.
The third rate cruiser Marbleliead,
Commander B. II. McCalla, and
revenue cutter Windom, Capt. C. S.
Maguire, were pitted against the
forts and Spanish ships.
The Windom has just arrived here
with the Americans wounded in the
engagement. Two Americans were
killed and eight wounded.
The Spanish loss was four hundred.
The cable at Cienfuegos is cut.
The gunboat Nashville, Commander
W. Maynard, also took part in the
Cienfuegos engagement.
The wounded Americans brought in
by the Windom were Robert Bolt,
John Davis, Ernst Sundenlzenlch.
George Hcndrickson and John Ooran.
Commander Maynnrd, of tho Nash
ville, was slightly wounded ncross
the chest.
Lieutenant Cameron, of tho Win
dom, was shot in the head.
Tho American ships woro not in
jured. The Spanish flro seemed entirely
from long range rifles, machine guns
and one-pounders, accompanied by
strong iho from infantry.
The Spanish used a lighthouse as a
fortress. The Windom demolished it
with her soven-pounder.
The Spanish showed very poor
marksmanship.
Additional reports concerning tho
bombardmont of Cienfuegos state
that Bolt and Hendriokson, two of
tho wounded Americans, will prob
ably die.
Uoth cables at Cionfuegos are cut
and Blanco's only communication
now with Spain is through Key West.

Washington, May 1 1
Tho Strategic Hoard has again changed its
war plans, on account of the close proximity
of tho Spanish squadron to Cuban waters,
1 ho enemy's fleet having been defiuitelv
located has again caused a postponement of
tho plan of operations against Havana from
both land and sea. Tho invaslou may bo
deferred another week, or until Sampson
and Schley havo met tho Spanish fleet and
demolished it. In the meaiitimo Havana
will not bo attackod.
At two o'clock this afternoon tho stato
department has an ofllcial report from
Curacao, Dutch West Indies, which is
COO miles southwest of Martinique. It
says tho Spauish warships havo been
sighted there.
If tho news is correct, it indicates that
tho Spanish lleot is sneaking to tho west
ward of Cuba to avoid Hoar Admiral
Simpson's fleet.
Navy officials say tbo torpedo boat Winslow.
which was in action at Cardenas, is almost a
total wreck. A Spauish sholl struck a torpedo
on tho boat, and passed through tho guueotton
charge without oxplodiug. It will renuiroa
long time to repair tho Winslow.
Admiral Sampson has left San Juan, and
has received orders from Secretary Long to
intercept the Spanish fleet and destroy it
There is no doubt in tho lnlnds of naval ofli
cials that tho commander of tho Spanish fleet
sighted olfMartiuiquo on,Wodnesday, receiv
el Information at that nnlnf tn it,..
whereabouts of Sampson's squadron; it is
now believed that tho Spaniards will avoid
San Juan and proceed with all speed to Cuba
and destroy as many of our small vossels in
those waters as posslblo, hoforo attempting to
enter Havana harbor. Simpson has two
swift scouts on tho lookout for tho enemy.
By delaying tho transmlsssion of the
message sent by Captain C. S. Cotton, com
manding the Harvard, announcing that tho
Spanish vessels had passed that point aud
wero hull down to tho westward, tho French
government has eoriously impeded tho work
of this government in getting machinery in
operation for crushing tho enemy.
Captain Cotton's despatch should havo
reached Washington on Wodnesday night.
Instead, it caino on Thursday night, twenty
four hours lator, so that the Spanish fleet has
been out of sight of tho Amorican vessels for
an ontlro day.
If bound for tho southwostoru coast of Cuba
tho Spauish fleet will not ho ablo to make tho
dlstanco from St. Pierro before Sunday or
Monday, so that in this event a battlo could
uot possibly occur beforo tho beginning of
uoxt week. Hoforo reaching its destination,
howover, tho authoiities are confident from
the precautions they havo taken that tho
enemy's squadron will bo sighted. Tho Fly
ing squdron should lo at Havana beforo ho
enemy reaches there.
Secretary Long has signed and mailed tho
commission of (ioorgo Dewey as ltear Ad
miral of tho United States navy.
Tho navy department is about to ask for
bids for tho const t net Ion of sixteen torpedo
boat destroyers, tho new vessels to bo tho
very best of their class.
Sir Julian l'auuccfote, Ambasadorof Great
ilrltaln, had a consultation with Secretary
