The bombardment, of Matanzas on April 27th was momentous, because at that time the first shots were fired by the American fleet in Cuban waters against the Spanish flag. For eighteen minutes the flag-ship New York, the monitor Puritan, and the cruiser Cincinnati, at a range of 4000 yards from earthworks abreabi of their stations, were firing almost incessantly. The engagement was opened by the flag-ship, bat the Puritan and Cincinnati impatiently signalled for permission to join her. The request was at once granted, and the Cincinnati waa speedily in action, demolishing the enemy's batteries on the west shore. The accuracy of the gunners on the big cruiser was remarkable, and every discharge of her 6 inch guu wrought destruction to the Spanish works, while the men were full of enthusiasm, and overjoyed at the distinction of firing tne first shots of the war. The subject of the illustration from Harper's Weekly, which we reproduce, is the Cincinnati swinging into line oppossite the enem j 's forts, and discharging her forecastle gun. It was the first test in modern warfare of American naval discipline and gunnery, and the test proved conclusively that thirty-five years of peace have not dulled the traditional keenness of Yankee marksmanship.
