KEY Wnsr, FLA, May 12.â€"Now the American people can realize that the war is on in earnest, and that the peaceful blockade in an enemy’s country is at an end. The new navy has been baptised in blood. Five men have been shot to death by Spanish guns, more than fell at the destructian of the Spanish fleet at Manila, and it will take more than the pressure of politicians In Washington to keep these men-of-war from plunging into the thick of battle to avenge the fall of their oom- rades. Death came to those sailors in a fierce engagement yesterday afternoon ofl‘ Cardenas, where the torpedo boat Wins- low was trapped to within range of a masked shore battery of heavy guns, wrecked and riddled bv the enemy’s fire. and five of her crew killed. A VORTEX About 1 o’clock in the afternoon three ships started up the bay, the Winslow to the east. the Wilmington in the centre and the Hudson to the west. When they came within a mile and a half of the city one of the Spanish gunboats could be plainly seen lying alongside the whart among a lot of shipping. The Winslow was ordered by Commander Todd to run. In and cut her out, the other ships. with their heavier guns, standing by to pr0tect her from the heavy armament of the gut- boat. So Liens. Bernadow went steaming ahead. with the Hudson next behind and the Wilmington outside. There was no thought of-real danger, because no batter ies were known to exist at that point When within 2,000 yards of the longed for prize they noticed bobbing about them \ number of red buoys, which were thought to mark a channel. but this error was a serious one. They were rang« buoys. put there for the guidance of a battery masked on a jutting point a little *0 the left of where the Spanish gunboats tay, and now these guns, six and tax pounders, opened fire. The very first ~hot struck one of the buoys, and the next tore through the flimsy hull of .the torpedo baat, wrecking the steam steerina gear forward and rendering the boat unmanageab‘e. The trap had caught it:- vic im. The decoy gunboat had lured he fierce little fighter to within range of guns put there on the point probably over night. The red buoys marked the range. She could not escape and a perfect hail of shells was falling all around and about and upon her. It was a fight then to the death, and the three little one-pounders at he Winslow began to belch back their bullets at the gunboat, which was adding its shire to the rain of death. Again and again the shells crashed into the Winslow. A splinter flying from the deck struck the ‘ brave commander of the little craft justi below the groin in the right leg. He‘ wrapped a towel about it. using an empty 1 one-pound shell for a tourniquet. and‘ went on with his comannd. When he found that his vessel’s steam gearing was gone he rushed aft to arrange the band- gear. A shell wrecked that too. As he turned a water tender came from below and reported that the forward boiler had been pierced. .Steam was already pouring out of the hatches and the men were pouring up from below. Another shot and the port engine was wrecked. Then went the forecastle gun, but still the brave men kept pumping away with their two remaining one-pounders. Help was coming, for the Hudson was steaming in at full speed, and the Wilmington’s heavy four-inch rifles were dropping shells a'l about the murderous battery ashore. Amidships, near the ammunition stand, The Wilmington meantime had played havoc with Cardenas. By the time the smaller vessels were in safety the town along the abore was on fire. and the Spanish gunboat alao caught: fire, and soon the shore ba‘teriea ceased to answer the Wilmington’- zone. The naval oficers think that their guns were wreck- ed, and that unqtiestiohably a large number of artillerymeri _were killed. was Ensign Bauley calling down to the engineer to back and go ahead with his‘ one remaining engine in his effort to spoil the Spaniards aim. All the electrical contrivances were wrecked, so the orders went by word of mouth. Close by the Ensign were working a half a dozen at his men. No one had yet been killed. although the craft had been riddled through and through, but then fell the fatal shell. It struck squarely on the deck a little aft of amidshtps and explod- ed as it tell. The Hudscn was then to lclose that her crew could hear the words icf the men as they went to their death. 1 ,.n t.’ .3.......-.. t “ Sara me, save the, 2.333... one poor fellow, with his face all torn, as he stag- gered back and all but fell into the sea. Some one reached out‘an arm to him, caught him b a leg, pulled him back and laid him on t a deck dead. Ensign Bag- ley had thrown his hands into the air, tottered forward and fell against the signal mast. around which he elapsed his arm and sank slowly down in a heap. They did not know he was dead until they went to carry him below. Besides Bagley those killed outright by the shell were :â€"-John Varveries, oiler, and J. Deneefe, first-class fireman. J. V. Meekin, first-class fireman, and Joeiah Tunnell, cook. were so badly injured that;3 they died within an hour. The Hudson was now in position to extend aid to the torpedo boat. A long line was thrown to her and made fast, but as the revenue muter b.cked away it parted. Another lit-e Was made fast after twenty minutes’ work, the shells of the enemy still drop- ping uhout the boat. This one held, but .he Winslow would not tow becauee she could not be steered, and at last the Hudson made fact alongside. Bernadow feels terribly ‘cut up over the loss of his men, but he feels that he and they only did their duty in going where they were ordered. The Winslow, while OF SHOT AND SHELL. LINDSAY, THURSDAY, MAY 191131898. pretty well torn up. can be repaired with- out delay. She became helpless by reason of injuries to her delicate mechanism. and these defects, in is believed, can l~e readily repaired. It is a relief to know that no part of her machinery broke except as a result of the enemy’s fire. Had she not been in shoal water she might have used her torpedoes and thus have got rid of the qunboats. but she was not able to do more than grin and bear it after her steer- ing apparatus went up. The Winslow cannot be brought to Key West until she has been patched up a little. She is now lying off Piedras Key anchorage, about twenty miles from Cardenas.

A pier is to be put in at the wharf. as soon as the timber is on hand, and it is understood the work will have to close fora time, owing to exhaustion of the appropriation.
