FORT MONROB. Vn. , April 28. ( On Hoard

the flying squadron haa boon utrablo to com *
munlcate with ahore. The fltorm which fltlll
prevails making It uncufo to use the steam
launch or cutter * . A tug brought out the
mall this morning. The storm that struck
the cooat Tuesday , night came up Hampton
Hoadfl like a ( ury. It wnlatloj at the rate
of sixty tnllcs an hour through the great eu
porstructure of the flagship Drooklyn , and
whipped up the eea BO that the white foam
broke In hugo masspa over the decks of the
and the Tcxaa. The heavy
draft of tbe big war vessel inido It Impossi
ble for them to get Into smooth water and
they had to stand the brunt of tbo storm.
Toward morning It Increased hi violence and
a the tide turned flood the lookout on the
forward bridge of the Brooklyn announced
that the ehlp waa dragging Its anchor. The
officer of the deck almultaneoualy reported
that the Brooklyn was getting In datigeroua
proximity to the battleship Massachusetts.
Captain Cook and Executive Officer Mason
went on the bridge at once and ordered the
Becoad anchor town. At thla time the wind
was blowing so fiercely that men could
ihardly keep their feet on deck. The second
anchor ran out about twenty fathoms ot
chain and stuck and the big ship stopped
and for a abort tlmo brcastol bravely the
wln.l a-nd tide , but In a few minutes It began
to go back slowly and It became apparent
there waa no hold for the anchors. The
signal was given to prepare to get under wuy
and In the .meantime U was hoped 'that tne
onehora woiili catch and boldj Fajter and
faster the ship wo.it , Its big broadsides awing.
Ing towards the dangerous ram on the prow
of the Massachusetts. The latter vraa
algnalI6d to , pay out Ita cable and drop
away and did so. In the meantime , on the
Brooklyn , the men In charge of the forwarO
compartments went to their stations , closing
the watertight compartments and preparing
without any outward sign of excitement for
the expected collision. The Massachusetts
cleared away Its big booms and prepared for
the collision , not daring to slip anchor , for
fear of riranlng on the sand bar In close
proximity or drifting Into the Texas. Faster
and faster went the Brooklyn towards the
battleship , and the men at the stations on
tooth vessels stood unflinchingly , ready to
perform the special duties assigned them lt >
case of collision.
EVERYBODY KEEPS COOL.
There was no confusion. On the bridge
'with cool lieails and sharp eyes were Cap *
tain Cook and hla executive officers ; whllo
on the after bridge , not Interfering with
the management of the officers of the ship ,
stood Schley alul his flag lieutenant. Sears ,
watching with Interest , but with as little
excitement aa at a practice cruise , tbo big
shirs coming together , A conflict of orders
would have meant great disaster , but there
wcta none.
An order from tfae captain and one of the
big anchors comes rattling up and .the ship
drifts oci a llttlo foster toward Its evident
fa to. Then , In obedience to the helm , tbo
etcrn , now almost scraping Uie Massachu
setts' bow , swings out , and the head , partly
controlled by the anchor , sv/iags In as If to
take Itie blow. ltw Is within a few yardn
of the huge battleship and all arp awaiting
the craeti. Captain Cook looks over the port
sldo" of the brldgo and 'then. fi ya sharply :
"Full speedastern.There , la a-clang of
balls- shiver aa the big engines turn , and
then the cruiser slides rapidly clear of the
il'.iEsaclmsettfl with barely a hand to spare ,
"Cleverly dcoo , " says Commodore Schley ,
as Jio goes down /'o. break fa'st. Clever sea
manship , perfect discipline and cool-headed
judgment had averted a disaster.
"This ship obeys her engines perfectly , "
eald Captain /Cook modestly , as ho had
anchored further out. *
The storm continued all day and the
patrol boats that keep the hbrbors closed had
a rough night's -work. This morning there
waa llttlo abatement ot the gale.
The war ships have suffered no damage
In the gale which , U stilt raging. It Is ex

TALK OF MATANZAS
( Continued from First Page. )
the right of the entrance of the harbor.
There were no shore batteries or defenses
at or adjacent to Manama's , nor were there
an.r. so far aa I could observe , on tbo left
of the entrance to tbe harbor.
"San Saverlno Is an old-time Spanish fort ,
completely out of date In point of arrange
ment and equipment. It la of masonry ,
which haa stood a hundred years or more.
This waa the only thing observable In tbo
woy of defense. There were no earthworka
or block housfj forts at that time. They are
In the habit of throwing together a small
square block house and calling It a fort ,
but It has none of the characteristics of a
modern fortification , and while It might defer
for Insurgents , would amount td abiolutely
nothing agalnat the big guns ot a war ship.
But even theae had not been started a month
ago. Since then rough earthworks may have
been thrown up hastily , but little could have
been accomplished In a month , and certainly
no fortifications of masonry could have been
erected. I never heard of Fort Rubalcalva ,
mentioned in the reports of tbe reduction of
the defenses at Matonzaa. and no such fort
existed when I was there a month ago.
Thla may be ono of the Impromptu defenses
which the Spaniards style forts.
"The camps of tbe reconcentradoe arc on
the aweep of hills back of Matanzas , and on
the sldo opposite San Saverlno. There arc two
of these camps , one on the highest .ground
and another further down , where are hud
dled together the poor Cuban auffcrcrs.
Judglns from my observation I would not
think the defenses of Matunzap could make
a very stubborn flre , or that their reduc
tion would be a difficult task for a few of our
war ships. "
After talking with naval chiefs , Senator
Money concluded that the attack on Matanzas
was hot a serious affair and he added the re
mark that 'rom his observation ? ho believed
a few old smooth-bores could knock to pieces
all the defenses at Matanzca.
MADRID , April 28. The version of the
bombardment of Matanzna by the United
States fleet , which ha reached here , says
that "after half an hour'a fight the Ameri
cans were obliged to retreat. "
Little credence Is placed In Madrid to the
dispatches from New York , telling of the
bombardment of Matanzas , an the "latter
conflict with official reports. " The latter In
addition to saying Uio "Americans were ob <
llgrd to retreat , " admit that "several men
were killed , " and trat "somtf damage wan
done to the town , " also saying that the
"American less Is not known , "
The forta of Havana , It is announced here ,
have not yet fired a single projectile , the
canned shots being merely signal guns.
KEY WEST , April 28. The bombardment
ot tbe forts of Matanzas by the United
Stateo cruUcr New York , the flagship of
Rear Admiral Sarapson ; the monitor Puritan
and the cruiser Cincinnati Is eagerly din-
cussed here , and every Incident of the affair
la weighed and rewelghed by army and navy
officers and the newspaper men. The Inter
est In the engagement Is mixed with de
light at the fact that there are no casualties
to record en the American side , not one
of our ships being every touched. There Is
much curiosity as to tne effect ot our fire
on the enemy , but at present all informa
tion on this point Is lacking. From the fact
that the Spaniards opened fire on our ships
while the latter were making a recoraols-
ancb In force , and when .the vessels were
nearly five miles out from the batteries ,
leads ] to the belief that the enemy believed
that | all that waa necessary to Induce the
United i State * fleet to move further away
was for the batteries to open flre on them.
But , If from former experience they had
reached this conclusion , they must have teen
Intensely n tonl tied when the New York ,
being the farthest west , but the nearest
In shore , opened 11 rowith u vengeance and ,
steaming nearer shore , accompanied by Its
consort * , made eurfh excellent practice with
Its guns that In eighteen minutes every
Spanish gun wag silenced.
It would have been worth a year's pay
to anyone to have seen the effect ot Uie
last shot fired , that from tbo Puritan's
twelve-Inch gun , when a maee ot stones ,
earth and abattls went sixty feet In the
air. falling In tbe rear of the spot where
a Spanish gun Ciad ben but a few'mlnute *
before. There must have been casualties'on
the Spanish side , since the rapid flre guns
wore used on all the ships as well as those ,
of larger caliber.
It seems to be the general opinion thai
the Spaniards had nothing heavier than
eight-Inch guns and ( hat they had very poor'
gunners. However , lust before the Spanish
batteries were silenced , one gun on tbe west ,
sldo of the harbor seemed to be getting
the range of the ftagchlp , several chats ,
striking near the New York , and on both
aides of It. If the purpose of reconnaissance
and the subsequent cannonade was to secure
an available place for 'the landing later of
United States troops , sucb purpose has been
well accomplished , for no fear exists that
the Spanish batteries at Matanzas are likely
to prove In any way 'dangerous. They have
been sllen-ced for good , or at 'least ' for a
longer time tban will bo necessary to effect
a landing. ,

WASHINGTON. April 28. An Important
ruling baa been made by Charles 0. Dawrs ,
comptroller ot the currency , relating to the
practice of the comptroller' ! office In regard
I
to the collection ot nsiesuments against the
stockholder * lot Insolvent tiatlonal banks
' and the distribution of tbe proceeds of such
asaesaments. Under this ruling whenever it
I becomes necessary In adjusting the rights of
creditors and stockholders of Inio'.vent banks
to either levy a second assessment upon
stockholders for tbe benefit of creditors , or
to return an excessive assessment to stockholders - !
holders , the comptroller will review the' '
' original assessment for the purpose of mak
ing auch adjustment , contrary to the prac
tice heretofore , which was to recognize an as
ausment bated on the first estimate of de
ficiency In the bank's asseta aa final , Irre
spective of whether that estimate was ns n
matter of fact 'too ' large or too small. This
ruling Is of great Importance as It relates
o asicssments already levied throughout
he country , as well ns those hereafter to bo
cvled upon stockholders In Insolvent na-
lonnl banks whose affairs are not ontlrely
losed. Jn his ruling upon tbe particular
' ase In question , Mr. Dawcs says the rosl-
'on of the comptroller In his relations to
he stockholders Is that of a trustee for the
ollectlon of all the legal liabilities of all
he stockholders under tbe statute and as
iirther defined by thc courts.
In pursuance of' this duty us trustee
, -hen upon further administration of the
rust an error of judgment on the part of
he comptroller and receiver Is d mon-
trattnl in estimating the deficiency In fno
sseta of the trust at too small an amount ,
t will become his duty to review the former
ctlon ami. If necessary , to levy an addl-
:1onal : assessment upon the stockholders of
: ho Insolvent bank for the purpose of col-
eptlnr ; from each stockholder that pro-
lortlon of t'no difference between
he estimated and the actual deficiency
rhlch the stock of the Individual stock-
older bears to tbo total stock of the bank.
If , In the endeavor to enforce mieh
ability t'nrough an error In judgment us to
he exact deficiency he collected a urcater
.mount from the shareholders than that
or which they arc really liable , then he
ccomen trustee for the stockholders who
ave paid such rxccss. charged wllh t'.ie
ctiirn of the excess to the contrllnitinq ; I
tockholders In the proportion In which they j
rive paid their original assessment to him. j
he determination of the amount to ln re-
urn eel to such stockholders must neces
sarily bj deferred until the final eloslnpr of
he trust , an amount belna reserved ut nil
Imes In the hands of the comptroller sufll-
ilcnt to afford full protection to cald con-
rlbutlng shareholders against any con-
liiKency of rhange In the amount collected
rom the assets over the estimated value

niflg to make simultaneously on Cuba , I

EASTON , Pa. . April 23. The town of
Dover . , In Morrl * county , N , J , , and the
country within a radius ot twenty mllca was
startled ' thla evening by a series ot torrlfllc
explosion ? , tbo flrat of which occurred at I
2:10 : o'clock.
The explosions occurred In the Atlantis
Powder company'a works , and the plant Is
n mass of ruins. Six workmen were killed ,
four seriously Injured , some probably fa
tally.
The remains of the dead have not boon re
covered.
The dead are :
ALFRED RARICK.
WILLIAM STUMPR
CASPBR RAY. . , '
DAVID .ECHEREIl.
WILLIAM HAYCOCK.
ELIAS EUERS.
'All the killed were marrlcJ and leave
families. .
The works were situated In an Isolated
spot seven miles out In a rough country from
Dover. There wore ten bulldlngo In the group ,
and all were destroyed. The first explosion
occurred In ono ot the packing houses , caused ,
It Is thought , by a spark from the pipe of iv
careless smoker. The concussion set off tlio
explosives In another house nearby.
Dobrls and burning timbers of the wrecked
buildings' were carried high Into the air
and fell in a shower over ( ho remaining
building ? , cttlng tire to the main factory '
and the other five packing housed and the
shell house. In a brief tlmo the explosives
In these buildings were exploded nnd left
death and destruction In their wake. The
works have been running day and nliht ,
turning out rush ordcis for the government ,
and a large amount of ammunition ready for
shipment was stored In the packing houses.
7'iiU ' , with all other explosives , was Com
pletely destroyed.
The scene presented at the place was ter
rible. People who felt the shock. ? and naw
the flames of the burning structures Mocked
to tbo place from miles a.round. but could
render no uld to the Injured. The people
were terrlflcd , and held back in corstacit fear
of other explosions.
A few men who were In the buildings man.
aged to escape , and they ran about the coun
try bewildered. They could give no Intelli
gent account of the cause of the cxplcalcvi.
When the wives and relatives of the em
ployes of Ihe factory approached the burning
buildings | the scene was heartrending.
It waa noirly G o'clock before the ruins
had cooled off sufficiently to bo approached
nnd bCLorc the onlookers could be Induced
to go near the spt.
The bodies of the dead were horribly man-
gled. 'I'no ' head was missing from mine ,
. while here and thcro lay armlcEs and leg-
M . s trunks. Many wore cut and maimed eo
bully . that some of them cannot recover. The
lota c&nnot be learned at thl. writing.
