Kingston, Jamaica, Juno 17. Tho brick fort and earthworks nt Caiman era, at tho end of tho railroad loading to tho city of Gunntanamo, wore de molished Wednesday by tho bombard ment of tho Toxas, Marlilehend and Suwauco. Tho warships opened Are at 2 p. in. and the bombardment lasted an hour and a half. The Texas steamed slowly up tho channel loading to tho fortifications, followed closoly by tho Marblohond. The Texas fired two shots as rnngo finders, both fnlllng short nnd to tho right. Tho Marlilehend stood off to tho west side of tho channel and opened with her flvo Inch gns on tho fort, knocking down part of tho wall. Tho Texas then throw In some 12 Inch shells, tearing down tho wall ot tho fort nnd throwing the bricks nnd mor tar 30 feet in tho nlr. After badly damaging tho fort tho Morblehead stood further In to shell tho earthworks and barracks nt tho west end of tho harbor. Sho knocked them Into tho air, and when tho Span iards Hod from the fort they wore shelled by tho St. Paul nnd driven Into the bushes. Tho Spaniards fired only flvo shots, which did no damage. During Wedhesdny afternoon a half starved and ragged Spanish soldier crawled Into tho camp of tho marine:) nnd gnvo himself up. Ho said he ex pected to bo shot, but ho would gladly die If thoy would only give him food nnd water. Ho had had neither for 48 hours. Ho reported that thoro wero 2,000 Spanish soldiers, half stnrvod, who wanted to give themselves up, but that they believed thoy would be killed by tho Americans as soon ns thoy wero once In captivity. The Spaniard was given a good dinner and some cloth ing and was then taken on board tho Marblehead. He declared that he would gladly go back and report to his comrades, but that they would cor tnlnly shoot him. Ho Is now hold as a prisoner on tho Marblehead. The Marblchcad's little steam launch cleared out n detachment of Spanish bushwhackois Wednesday aftoruoon and escaped without tho loss of a man after a hot engagement of a quartor of nn hour. Tho launch had boon drag ging tho harbor near tho fort for mines, had found one, and was tow ing it back to tho Marhlohead when tho enemy, concealed In tho bushes on tho shore, opened a hot firo on tho flvo men In the launch. Tho launch headed toward shoto and began bang ing away, but the bow gun finally knocked overboard, carrying a gunner with It. In tho meantlmo tho enomy was fleeing wildly.
