Mangrove’s Engagement a Fitting
Close to a Triumphant War.
SHE FIGHTS TWO GUNBOATS
The Plucky sAmericans Had but Two Six
' Pound Guns but They Were Used Ef-
fectivly. No Lives Lost on Board. The
Cessation of Hostilities Was Announced
and the Firing Stopped.
Key West, Fla., Aug. 18'.——Further de-
tails 'have been received here as to the
bombardment of the port of Caibarien,
on the north coast of the province of
Santa. Clara, Cuba, last Sunday, by the
armed tug Mangrove, which began her
beliicose career by capturing the big
Spanish liner Panama and now is the
likeliest candidate for 'the honor of
havmg fought the last naval battle of
the war. - -;»'
The Mangrove left here last week to
protect the landing of an expedition un-
der Colonel Boise, which had gone on
ahead in the sc‘hooners Adam and Del-
l'ie. When the Mangrove reached Santa
Maria Key, near Chibarient. she found
the Cuban party had safely disembark»
ed but feared to advance because of the
presence of the Spanish gunboat H.
Cortez and another gunboat.
On satu-rday afternoon the Mangrove
anchored at Key Francis, just outside
C-aib-arien, and as she lay there the
Herman Cortez came out and ran
around the key to get a peep at.her,
scurrying back into the harbor as soon
as she saw she was discovered. The
Mangrove followed as far as shoal wa-
ter would permit, but could only get
about half Way into the harbor.
The next morning Captain Stuart,
the commander of the Mangrove, de-
cided to have a shot at the gunboatc.
He was alone and the odds against
'him 'were 'heavy', but he did a. bold
thing. Feeling her way in, the Man-
grove orep’t along 'the channel draw-
ing'eight feet of water in a naverage
depth of eight and a .half, and about
nine o’clock she sighted both Spanish
gunboa'ts. ' ,-
’ The H. Cortez was anchored near th
shore, about 1,000 yards to the right of
the town, with :her broadside to the
sea. The small gunboat lay at the
Wharf. -. »
The Spaniards evidently were an~tici-.
pating a bait-tie. The shore was crowded , . '
ythe rev1ew occupied nearly five hours.‘
with Spaniards, citizens and soldiers,
While the roof of every building that i
commanded a view of the harbor was
literally covered with people anxious
to see the fight. The Her-man Cortez
carriedrtwo 4.7 inch guns and four one-
pounders, while her smaller companion
was armed with three one-pounders
and‘a Hotchkiss rapid fire gun. The
crew~s of both, numbering in all be-
tween 75 and 100 men, could be seen
on the decks.
Ashore were several one-pound field
pieces, while the Spanish troops were
armed with Mauser rifles. The Man-
grove, Whose entire battery consists of
only two six-pounders, worked into a
range of three thousand yards.
The channel was so narrow that only
one gun couldzbe fired at a time. At
10.45 a. m. she-let go her port gun at
the Cortez. The shot fell short. in-
stantly the Whole shore line burst into
flame, both gunboats and the feid
pieces pouring in a heavy fire upon the
American vessel.
Every shot of this volley struck the
water ahead of the Mangrove, which
eo'h't-inued pumping away at her port
six—pounder. She concentrated her fire
[m the Herman Cortez} and the next five
or six Shots fell on'the Spaniards deck
between her how gun and amidships.
scattering at body of men. Some of the ~
latter must haVe been killed'aithough
the Spaniards later “ denied that they
had suffered any loss. .
Soon the Spanish got the Mangrove’s
range and a veritable avalanche of
shot and shell was. hurled at her. It
was nothing less than a miracle that
her loss of life was not heavy.
Shells from the big guns on the Her-
nan Cortez dropped within twenty feet
of the tug, several bursting and the
fragments chipping bits off her hull.
Others went whlzzing through her
shrouds and Mauser bullets peppered
the surrounding waters like a summer
shower. .
In the very midst of this, and while
the Mangrove was sailing cautiously
around to bring 'her starboard gun into
play, the watch shouted "Flag of
truce!" And sure enough, not only one,
but three White flags could be seen,
one flying firom the small gunboat and
two from the government houses on
shore.
The Mangrove acknowledged the sig-
nal and presently a small boat came
out with a Spanish officer, who Clamb-
ered aboard the Mangrove and in ex-
ceedingly nervous bones announced:
“Peace is proclaimed and I have in-
structions for your commanding officer
from the military commander of this
district.” ' .
He added that during the engage-
ment the Spanish authorities in Caiba-
rien had wired the military command-
ers of the district that rthe American
ships were bombarding the port and
that immediate response» had been re-
ceived, informing them that peace had
been restored and the shooting should
cease. .
rIlhc Spanish crew of fih-e' small boat
which brought the officer to the Man—
grove, said the Spaniards had not lost
a man, but rthe oflicer himself made no
allusion .to the fight which had lasted
an hour and ten minutes. '

'THE PEACE COMMISSION.
Senator- Davis of Minnesota ‘Accepu
Appointment.
Wiashington, Aug. 18.—Whatever
doubt may, have existed hitherto as to
Senator Davis’s willingness to serve ’on
the peace commission was dispelled by
the information whidh has, reached a
leading member of the cabinet. Mr.
Davis, it was feared, might hesitate to
accept a commissionership which would
carry him so faraway‘from home at
a time when Minnesota. politics were in
an upheaved condition and his own
re—election was trembling in the bal-
ance, but it appears that he has com-
pleted his arrangements for the cam~
paign at home and now believes that
he has insured ihis re-election come
what may.
Another reason urged for disb'eliev-
ing in Senator Davis’s reported accep-‘
tance was that he has no care for play-
ing a. second part toanyone else, and
that Secretary Day’s presidency of the
commission would make Davis loath
to accept an appointment to its rank
and file, but this consideration does not
appear to have had any serious weight
with him. He evidently recognizes the
eminent fitness ,_of the choice of Judge
Day, and will be content to stand at the
head of whatever group of senators
may figure on the Commission:
Senator Spooner’s name is pretty
prominently mentioned for a commis-
sionership. He is a conservative man.
of calm, sound judgment, for whose
character and ability the president has
great respect. '
OVER 40,000 IN REVIEW.
Camp Thomas Had a Brilliant Pageant.
C‘hickamauga, Aug. ISL-The review
at Camp Thomas yesterday was one 0f
the most striking page-ants of recent
years. It was especially interesting
because it was the final review of the
last big army of the war.
' Overr- forty thousand men, marching
in perfect order, with bands playing
and colors flying, made the occasion
inspiring. A crowd of nearly fifty thou-
sand were enthusiastic witnesses of the
scene. ,
In all the regimental camps the men
were up early. Immediately after the
morning meal inspections were held,
and the regiments took their places in
the line of formation. ._
At 8.30 a signal gun was fired and
the long colu'mn moved _to and past the
tower on Sn-odgrass Hill, where Gen-
eral Breekinri-dge and his guests were
seated in the reviewing stand. ,3 -

Washington, Aug. 18.—O'rders Were

Porto Rico to pay the troops. ..
