Cardenas, east ern gateway to Havana, has been bombarded by ,tho American fleet. Six warships appeared off the city yesterday and. encased with the defences with a well directed fire. The bombardment was simultaneous with that at Cienfugoes. It is said that the Americans landed a boat at Cardenas and captured the signal station.1 The warships entered the bay and opened up a raking fire on the shore batteries, many of the shells dropping into Havana. The Spanish gunboat Antonio Lopez be- can a feeble insistence, but a shell from a J Yankee ship soon sank her. The Americans attempted to land several more boats, but the Span iards vigorously repulsed them. Sev eral bands of Cubans in the vicinity tried to co-operate with the Ameri cans, With little effect. It is be lieved that two companies of the first infantry which left Tampa on the transport Gussie Tuesday afters noon, participated. t I : ' - . t Key West, May 12. The Revenue Cutt'erj!
