Three American Ships Fire Upon and Destroy Spanish Forts at Matanzas, Cuba. 10 CASUALTIES ON THE AMERICAN SIDE. Vh« Bigs Gobs of tb. Rnr York, PnrlUa ud Cincinnati SUcncc the Land Batteries In Eighteen Mlnntea—During the Firing a Unshed Battery Opens Up and Is Promptly Silenced. Ox Board the Flagship New Tore, ope Matanzas, April 27, 3 p. m. —The New York, the Puritan and the Cincinnati bombarded the forts at the mouth of Matanzas harbor this afternoon. There were no casualties on our aide, but it is believed that the hail of iron which pounded in the forts must have caused loss of life to the Spaniards, though nothing is known definitely.

The engagement commenced at J2:57. and ceased at 1:15. The object of the attack was to prevent the completion of the earthworks at Punta Gorda. A battery on the eastward arm of the bay opened fire on the flagship, and this was also shelled. About twelve ••inch shells were fired from the eastern forts, but all fell short. About five or six shells were fired from the half-completed battery. Two of these whirred over the New York and one fell short. The ships left the bay for the open aea, the object of discovering the whereabouts of the batteries having been accomplished. In the neighltorhood of 300 shots were put on land from the three ships at a range of from 4,000 to 7,000 yards. Heal Admiral Sampson, when asked if he was satisfied with the result, said: ‘•Yea, I am. I expected to be.*' The half-completed Spanish earthworks and battery were apparently plowed up by the shells. All the ships engaged showed excellent markmanship throughout the engagement and when they were tiring at the short “st range nearly every shell took effect. . The forts which were bombarded were on a low-lying point and were considered merely earthworks. They did not make a good target, yet when the big guns were fired at the shortest range portions of the fort could be seen flying in the air at every shot. The flagship returned to Havana, and the Puritan and Cincinnati were left on Matanzas station. The News Not Given Oat In Wnshlucton. Washington, April 28. —So far as could be learned the officials of the administration were not notified of the bombardment of Matanzas this morning. The navy department keeps ^ a full-fledged telegraph office open in the building all night and a confidential officer remains at the department all aight U> translate the messages as received. There was considerably business done over the wires till the early morning hours, but noue of the dis patches were sent either to the White Uouse or the secretary of the navy.

AMERICAN SHIPS IN DANGER. ADmI on the High Sra* Without Knowledge of llofttllttic* Begun Boston llurbor ('la*«d. Boston, April 27.—There are many valuable vessels anti cargoes scattered over the oceans at the present tint which are destined for New England, or which are owned in New England. < any one of which naay fall into Spanish hands. The captains'of many of them cannot possibly know that a state of war exists between this country and Spain. Among these are 12 barks, l* schooners, several steamers and other craft. Lieut. Sewall of the engineer corps has sent notice to ship captains and pilots who were in Boston harbor that beginning last night the harbor will be closed between sunset and sunrise. No vessels will be permitted to enter or leave the harbor during these hours without a permit from him. There are 400 mines already laid, and 300 more will be laid before daylight to-mor-row.

Reported Blowing Up of a Big Moattor and Detection and Conviction of a Spy. ALL LATER PRONOUNCED TO RE UNTRUE. the Spanish Fleet Finally Leaves St. Vincent. bnt n Collision Among the Vessels Compels n Betnra to Fort—Commodore Sampson’s Report of the Ns* tsnsas Bombardment. Washington, April 30.—Yesterday was a day of alarming1 rumors, running all the way from'She blowing up of a big monitor to the detection and punishment of traitors; but fortunately all of them turned out, on inquiry, to be without foundation. Actual events of importance were few in number. The news of the day of most interest was the departure from Cape Verde isles of the Spanish fleet, the stay of which at St. Vincenthad been-a source of anxiety on the part of the officials here, because it seemed to indicate that the sympathy of Portugal for Spain might lead her to wink at a violation of neutrality laws in favor of Spain. Late in the afternoon a cablegram came to the state department from St. Vincent, bearing no signature, announcing that four battleships and j three torpedo boats had started north ! and some of the transports for Cuba, j and that the northern fleet returned | shortly, having been in collision. Because there was no signature at- | tached, the officials did not know what importance to attach to tflis ^message, as these are not times to accept what appears to be information without close scrutiny. Capu Sampson sent a telegram relative to the tiring at the Matanzas forts, but it was disappointing^’ lacking in detail, but the few words contained in the dispatch went to confirm the offi- ( cial view that the affair was nothiug ; more than a naval reconnaissance. No news came from Admiral Dewey’s squadron now on its way to the Phil- ! ippines-to do battle with the Spanish !W|lt. One officer pointed out that if j Admiral Dewey succeeded in defeating the Spauish fleet, the Spanish officials, who control the cable connecting the ■ island with the rest of the world, ; may suppress the news or distort the | facts into a Spanish victory. Presuming that the admiral is bound j directly for Manila, the calculation j made at the navy yard shows he would | arrive about two o’clock this (Satur- [ day) morning, Manila time, which is j about 12 hours earlier than our own. j The pressure continues .uuubated on ; the war department for changes in t he J plans already announced as to mobilifzation of the volunteer troops, and, i very much against its will and judgment, the department is making some ' concessions in this matter. e } A large number of callers are bring- ; ing forward candidates for the many i plums within the gift of the president ! and Secretary Alger in the shape of : appointments to grades above regi* ! mental in the army, j Gen. Lee and Gen. Dodge spent a j good part of the day in conference with I officials, giving eolor to the reports j that they are among those selected for i appointment as major generals. The aunouncemet that the State of Texas, laden with supplies for the re- , cuncentrades, is destined for Sagua i has led to the surmise that it is proba- > biy this port instead of Matanzas which j has been selected for the lauding place ; of the first attack of the United States troops. Regarding the harmless growls that appear in the European papers, aud threats to interfere to prevent the United States forces from blockading the Philippines, it may be stated that this was fully expected. During the civil war there were a great many attempts on the part of the European uations to disregard our blockade aud

tnreats oi micrierence, au oi wnicn came to naught from the 'firm attitude uvsumed by the secretary of state. lu the preseut ease the conditions of the Cuban blockade are mdoh m >re liberal towards the powers than ever rrn- ; posed before. In anticipation of the action of the Uermau commercial interests, in combining’ to secure exemption from search for their mail Steamers. it is pointed out that the president, | in his proclamation declaring the existence of war. * explicitly announced that the voyages of mail steamers are not to be interfered with, except on the clearest grounds of suspicion of a j violation of law in respect to contraband of war. ^ | Viscount De Santo Thvrsol, the Portuguese minister, looked over the cable dispatch from Lisbon giving the sub- | stance of the neutrality decree gai setted there yesterday, and said it was j evidently accurate and covered the i entire subject, lie had not, how- | ever, up to a late hour, re- ! ceived an official notification i of the neutrality decree. He says [' that article 3, which permits belligerj ents to make a short stop at Portuguese portaprobably will be better uu- | derstood by saying that belligfrenta will„not l>e permitted to make long ! stays at Portuguese ports. U nder the rules of international law the stay is likely to be confined to a day or two. ArgMUM Will bt NwtrsL Bcxxos Athks.

Another Rich Prize Polls Down Its Colors to United States War Vessels. AFTER A FINE DISPLAY OF 6UNNERY. tht Monitor Terror Proves » Terror Indeed to the Enemies of the Country—Every Shot Told—The Mmehlas Token n HnndIt wu Surrender or Sink for the SpanNew York, April 29.—A special dispatch to the EveningWorld, from Key West, recounting the pursuit and capture of the Spanish steamer Guido by the monitor Terror, says that three solid shots struck the Guido. The first, a •-pound missile, carried away the pilothouse, the second a boat and the third the compass. The Machias fired her 4iiysh rifle. His ship's steering gear disabled, Capt.Ormaccea,according to the World’s ; correspondent, hurried his men aft to j the wheel. But in the momentary de- I lay the Terror had gained upon him, while ahead ready to intercept him, ; should he continue his flight, was the gunboat Machias.

Then only did the Spaniard give up. The Guido was bound from Corunna to Havana, wiih a Cargo of provisions and money, thought to be for the Spanish troops. The Terror first sighted her and began the pursuit by sending a blank shot aero&s her bows. The Spaniard promptly put out all hei lights and started in a desperate attempt to run away. The monitor then brought her ftpounders into play and sent three more shots directly at her, all finding the mark. She also trained her big 12-inch guns on the Guido, prepared to sink her if she did not heave to. - Meanwhile the Machi&s had come up and sent a shot from a 4-inch ride at the fugitive. Capt. Ormaccea. seeing that he had two such powerful enemies to combat, surrendered. Lieut. E. F. tjualtrough Ensign J. F. Hubbard and ten -men were put aboard as a prize crew and brought the steamer into Key West. As soon as Capt. Ormaccea and his crew learned of the conditions existing in Cuba they asked to be lauded there. The Guido is a steel, screw steamer of 3,133 tons gross and-2,873 net. She was built by Harland & Wolff, of Belfast, and is registered by Lloyds as Al. She is owned by “La Frocha,” is 300 feet long, 41 feet wide and has a depth of 20 feet. Her port of registry is Bilbao. She carried a crew of 30. All of the prizes still lie in the harbor, and, according to instructions received by United States District-At-torney Stripling, yesterday, from the department of justice, will remain there indefinitely. These instructions were* to the effect that the crew and passengers of the Panama, which carried four 14-pound guns, and which was captured by the Mangrove, should be held as prisoners of war. The crews of the other prizes are also to be detained aboard until further orders and have been allowed no communi* cation with the shore. It is conceded that whatever the result of the president's proclamation may be, it will not affect the Panama, which was an auxiliary cruiser. Mr. J. B. Patterson, who resigned as head of the prize court of inquiry, will represent the owners of the cargoes: and various ships, and not the Spanish government, as at first stated. BOMBARDMENT OF MATANZAS. The Movement Regarded in England at Preliminary to the Landing of American Troop*.

London', April 29.—The bombardment if Matanzas fortifications is regarded here as a preliminary to the landing of i American troops and making Matanzas j the base of American operations in : Cuba. It is also supposed that RearAdmiral Sampson desired to judge of the quality of' the Spanish gunners end to give his men something to do to i elieve the weariness. The mystery regarding the move- ! ments of the Spanish men-of-war is still unexplained. The secretaries at the Spanish embassy, interviewed on the subject, ridicule the statement that the squadron at Cape Verde is delayed by lack of coal; first, because for a long time the Spanish vessels have been particularly well-fitted, not only with coal, but with food and all kinds of warlike material; second, because St. Vincent could supply any required quantity of coal. According to advices via Bayonne, the battleship Pelayo was completely i fitted and equipped at Cartagena and has gone to Cadiz. Reports that she has been cruising in the company el ■* other vessels probably means that she has been trying her boilers. It is believed that the squadron at Cape Verde has really been waiting for the arrival of the Pelayo and the Alfonso XIIL and other men-of-war, but now that Portugal has declared neutrality, the fleet will be compelled to •ail without delay, whether reinforced or not. The continued rise of wheat causes uneasiness, the prioe now being higher j than at any time during the last 30 years. Mobilisation of Wisconsin Troops Completed To-Day. Milwaukee, April 39.—The First, Second and third regiments, together with companies A, B, C and F, Fourth regiment Wisconsin national guard, are bivouacked at Camp liarvey. The four companies of the Fourth were ordered out to fill the other regiments. The mobilization will be completed to-day on the arrival of two companies from West Superior. Adjt--Gen. Boardan has estabied headquarters at tha camp and will be in command until the troops are mastered and sworn Jj* at regulars. 1

COULD NOT BE DONE. 6It Wh Utterly Impossible for That Bay to Reaped HU Father** Bray Hairs. "Boys,” began the Sunday school superintendent, impressively, “I hop* none of you trill ever get into the reprehensible habit of alluding to your father as ‘the old man.* When you grow up, no matter how big or old you may be, you should always look up to and respect the silver hairs of your father, who has grown bent and gray working for you in your helpless infancy. Now, all of yon who think you can do this please raise your right hands." ? Up went every hand except one. Sternly eyeing the delinquent, the superintendent solemnly observed: “Why, young man, I am horrified—absolutely horrified—as well as astonished at your behavior. Don’t you wish to raise your band and put yourself on record as being willing to respect the gray hairs of your father when you grow up to be a man? can’t do it nohow,” the lad. "Why not, sonny?” “ ’Cause he ain't liable to have no gray hair. Dad’s bald,” chirped the youthful philosopher, triumphantly, and amid a gen eral titter the discomfited superintendent gave it up and passed on to something eke. -Tit-Bits. “No. No use tryin : unblushingly responded A Peculiar Feelln*. The sensation of homesickness has been variously described, but never more graphically than by a little girl, who, miles away from home and mamma, sat heavy-eyed and silent at a hotel table. “Aren’t you hungry, dear?” asked her aunt, with whom she was traveling. "No." “Does your head ache?" “No.” “What is the matter?” The child’s lip quivered, and she said, in ! a tone to grieve the heart: “I’m so seasick I for home! —Albany Argus. A WOMAN’S BURDEN. From the Evening News, Detroit. Mich. The women of to-day rfre not as strong as their grandmothers. They are bearing a burden in silence that grows heavier day by day; that is sapping their vitality and clouding their happiness. Sirs. Alexander B. Clark, of 417 Michigan Avenue, Detroit, is a typical woman of today. A Avife with such ambition as only a loving wife can have. But the joys of her life were marred by the existence of disease. Suffering as thousands of her sisters have suffered, she almost despaired of life and yet

•uc tuicu. “For five years I suffered with ovarian troubl e,” is Mrs.^ Clark's own version of the story. “I was not free one single day from headache and intense twitching pains in my neck and shoulders. For months at a time I would be confined to my bed. At times black spots would

eyes and I would be- “J become blind. come blind. My nerves were in such a state that a step on the floor unsettled me. “Eminent doctors, skillful nurses, the best food and medicine all failed. Then I consented to an operation. That, too, failed and they said another was necessary. After the second I was worse than ever and the world was darker than before. “It was then I heard of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People. I heard that they had cured cases like mint and I tried them. “They cured me! They brought sunshine to ray life and filled my cup with happiness. The headache is gone; the twitching is gone; the nervousness is gone; the trembling has ceased, and I have gained twenty-six pounds. Health and strength is mine and I am thankful to Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People for the blessing." These pills are a boon to womankind. Acting directly on the blood and nerves, they restore the requisite vitality to all parts of the body; creating functional regularity and perfect harmony throughout the nervous system. The pallor of the cheeks is changed to the delicate blush of health ; the •yes mrighten; the muscles grow elastic, ambition is created and good health returns. Coarse and Brutal. History states that a certain Homan official of* some importance was killed one day by a falling tile while indulging in a parade. A voung man of the family of Hur was charged with his death and brought into court. The judge, after hearing the < case, turned to the prisoner and said: “I sentence you to the mines for life.” “To the mines?” echoed Ben Hur. “Yes. to the mines,” retorted the facetious magistrate: “there are great mining facilities on the 'Mediterranean. You will find all the oar you want in the galleys.” At this brutal jest its is said the attornev for the prosecution laughed long and loud, but Ben Hur saw no joke in the galleys—he was not a printer.—Detroit Free Press.
