Key West, May 12. —A masked battery it was that disabled the United Slates torpedo-boat “Wins low” and cost Ensign Bagley and three ot the crew of the boat their lives off Cardenas yesterday. The “Winslow,” “Wilmington” and “Hudson” were cruising off Cardenas, and about 1 o’clock yes terday afternoon the little torpedo- boa. moved in close to the shore. She could see the main batteries a mile and a half ahead, but had no thought of the masked battery which was so near. She reached a point nearly 500 yards from the shore, when suddenly me shrubbery parted and heavj cannon boomed out. The guns were >o close they could not miss. Heav\ solid shot and shell fell all about the torpedo-boat. A solid shot that tore through the bull and forward boiler blew up the “Winslow,” but her men did not flinch. Another shot tore away her rudder, and then she drifted help lessly. The “Hudson” steamed into the harbor and took the “Winslow” in tow Hawsers were scarcely fast ‘t hen a shell burst directly over the da maged boat Lieutenant Bagley was instantly killed and four ot his. men who were working rapid-fire iifles tell with him. • The Ensign’s face was lorn from his skull and a portion of his body was blown off, he dying instantly The ‘Wilmington” had reached easy range about this lime and ■ peued with her'beavy guns. The Spanish he-d down on her and she was struck by a dozen shot She was hurt, but not cuppled, and bore the brunt of the battle uniil the “Winslow’ was sate out of the har bor. She lost no men. The Spanish batteries were si lenced eventually, and a number ot Spaniards were killed and wounded. The “Hudson” was nearly half an hour in gelling a line to the ‘Wins low.” While still twenty feet from her, ihe shell burst on the deck of the “ Winslow.” Several men had just come up from below for air, and were plainly seen to receive the shock ot ihe bursting shell. They were lined off of their feet and hurl ed. .n all directions. One man was struck in the face and carried along the deck, yelling “Save me 1” He was pulled back by the legs, dead three were killed instantly, and two died later on the “Wilmington.” [Ensign Bagley, who was killed on the “Winslow,” was a Raleigh boy, and was a son ot the late Maj Win. H. Bagley, and brother of Mrs. Josephus Daniels. He was buried with military honors at Ral eigh Monday afternoon.] —You needn t make any request of us not to publish so and so.
