The night was too dark to distinguish anything of the nationality of the stranger. 1 "At daylight, about 20 miles east of Nantucket south shoal lightship, an other torpedo-boat was seen in the line of th sun. which dazzled the water too much to make her out plainly. She wa of the "destroyer olass, and a very large boat with a large funnel. ' Guns were mounted on the bow. She ap peared to be one of the recent English type of torpedo-boat destroyers, and I am sure there is no vessel of her olass in the American navy. The Menantio ran close to the lightship on Nantucket and reported to the presence of the torpedo-boats." . 1 ' DEWEY RAISING" GUNS. Securing Those on the Sunken Span ''. Ish Ships.

ENSIGN AND FOUR MEN KILLED Gunboats Wilmington and Hudson Were In the Fight but Were Uninjured Dead and Wonnded Taken to Key West Caused by Carelessness. . Key WeBt, May 14. America's first dead fell yesterday in a fierce and bloody : combat oft Cardenas, on the north coast of Cuba. Five men were blown to pieces and five were wonnded on the torpedo-boat Winslow. The dead are: " Worth Bagley, ensign. , John Varveres, oiler. , John Denfy, first-class fireman. Q. B. Meek, first-class fireman. E. H. B. Tunnell (colored), cabin COQk. .''.'' , ' ;''' : Four were wounded. '' ', The battle lasted 35 tninntes. It was between the torpedo-boat Winslow, the auxiliary tug Hudson and the gun boat Wilmington on one side, and the Cardenas batteries and four Spanish gunboats on the other. The Winslow was the main target of the enemy, and was put out of service. The other Ameican vessels were not damaged, except that the Hudson's two ventilators were slightly scratched,: by flying shot.' The enemy's loss is large ly cOnjeotural. One of their gunboats caught fire and the men of the Hudson think it sank. The fire spread to. the barraoks and swept away several small warehouses, and for a time the whole waterfront seemed to be ablaze. ' The Winslow was within 1,600 yards of shore when the shells struck her. How she came to be so close . was told by her commander, Lieutenant John B. Bernadou. He said: -'', , ' "We were making observations when the. enemy opened fire : on us. ' The Wilmington told us to go in and attaok the gunboats. We went in under full steam and there is the result.". He was on the Hudson when he said this and with the final words he point ed to a huddle of American flags on the deck nearby. Under the Stars and Stripes were outlined five rigid forms. ' The land batteries of Cardenas sup ported the fire of tho Spanish gunboats. The engagement commenced at 2:05 P. M., and lasted for about an hour. The Wilmington and Hudson were ahead, and opened fire on the 'Spanish boats, which were lying at the dock. The firing began at a range of 3,500 yards. A few minutes later, the 'Winslow came up and also opened fire. In an instant, the entire attention of the Spanish gunboats' and land batteries was directed upon her. From all sides, shot and shell poured in on the little torpedo-boat The Wilmington and Hudson still kept up their fire.'- The crew of the Winslow never faltered for a second. At 2:33, a solid shot crashed into . the hull of the WIhbIow and knocked put her boiler, In a moment, she began to roll and rock helplessly. Then there was a moment of awful suspense. A fierce cheer of triumph went np from the Spanish on the gun boats and in the batteries. The storm of fire was continued upon the helpless boat. The gunboat Hud son, lying near by, started to the as sistance of the Winslow. After about 20 minutes, the Hudson approached noar enough to throw a line. Ensign Ragley and six men were standing in a group on the deck of the . Winslow ready , to catch a rope. ; A ' line was thrown, and at about the same instant a shell burst in the very midst of the group of men on board the Winslow. Bagley was instantly killed and a few others dropped about him. Half a dozen more men fell groaning on the blood stained deck. ' One of the men plunged headlong over the side of the boat; but his feet caught in .an iron rail, and he was hauled beck. Bagley 's body was stretohed on deck, with his face completely torn away, and the upper part of his body shattered. ' ;. When the shell burst, another wild shout of triumph went . up from tho Spanish boats and batteries, and again a heavy fire was opened on the torpedo boat ; V; ..; . . .'- Finally, the Hudson succeeded in getting a line on board the Winslow, and was towing her out of the deadly range when the line parted and again both boatswere 8t the mercy ' of the Spanish fire. -' 1 Use only one heap- lne teasDoontui ot Schilling ' s ing Powder to , a quart of flour. -.:"V ' ' .
