Key West, Fla., April 28 The bombardment of the forts of Ma- tanzas by the United States cruiser New York, the flagship of Rear Admiral Sampson, the monitor Puritan and the cruiser Cincinnati is eagerly discussed here, and every incident of the affair is weighed and reweighed by army and navy officers and the newspaper men. From the fact that the Spaniards opened fire on our ships while the latter were making a reconnaisance in force, and when the vessels were nearly five miles out from the bat- teries, leads to the belief that the enemy believed that all that was necessary to induce the United States fleet to move further *away was for the batteries to open fire on them. But if, from former ex perience, they had reached this conclusion, they found that for bearance had reached the limit, and they must have been intensely astonished when the New York, being the farthest west but the nearest in shore, opened fire with her batteries with a vengeance, and steaming nearer shore, accom panied by her consorts, made such excellent practice with her guns that in eighteen minutes every Spanish gun was silenced. It would have been worth a year s pay to any one to have seen the effects of the last shot fired, that from the Puritan’s 12-inch pet, when a mass of stones, earth and a battis went sixty feet in the air, falling in the rear of the spot where a Spanish gun had been but a few minutes before. 12 pounds good clean Rio coffee for $1.00 at J.
