SPANISH .GUNBOATS, An Attempt to Overhaul a British Fruit Steamer. Were Shown a Clean Pair ot HecUTM Steamer. Alt hough Passing Through n ! Perfect Storm of Shot, Keep* Her Course and Escapes. Philadelphia. May 24.—After being j twice chased by Spanish gunboats and passing through a perfect storm of shot, which splashed in the water across the vessel's bows, the British fruit steamer Ethelred passed through |the exciting ordeal unscathed and ar* rived at this port last night after a five days' run from Port Antonio, j Jamaica. When the Etlielred left here May 12 j it was the intention of Capt. D. Hart to accompany her, but he was arrested as he was about to step on the gang plank to go aboard. As it was his invalid daughter was a passenger. It is supI*»sed that agents of the Spanish government in this city had notified the Spanish authorities at Havana that Hart would be on the vessel, hence the effort to hold up the Ethelred in Cuban waters.

The find encounter with the Spanish cruiser oe^irred off Cape Maisi. on the trip down. Just after dusk on Sunday evening-, May 10, a gunboat without any lights shot out from under the Maisi cape and, crowding on-all steam, steered directly for the fruit vessel. After steaming for an hoar without gaining an inch, the gunboat turned a search light on the other vessel. All steam was crowded on the Ethlred, which was beginning to show the Spaniard a clean pair of heels, when a cloud of smoke belched from the cruiser's side, and a second later a solid shot cut the water a half mile ahead of her bows.. Then came a see* cud and third shot, each nearer than the others. Capt. Israel kept on his course and after another hour's hot chase the Spaniard dropped from the race. 88 „ The second chase happened last Thursday afternoon in almost the exact spot in which the tirst attempt to hold the vessel up occurred. Just as the Ethelred rounded Cape Maisi a big Spanish gunboat, of the newest type, started out from under the cape and gave chase to the Ethelred. For two hours the chase was kept up, enlivened now and then by a solid shot throwing up a sheet of white spray just aheadt>f the swift vessel’s bows, it began to look as if the Spaniard meant to chase the Ethelred clear to the Delaware- capes, when another steamship was sighted aud the guuboat sheered off and gave vigorous chase to the newly-discovered steamer.
