THE MATAN/AN ISOMbAKoMENT.
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.
