TOO EAGER TO TAKE PRIZES Two Small Graft in Blockading Squadron Hare a Narrow Escape. FALL INTO A TRAP SET BY SPANIARDS , Vlrkuburic nnil Morrlll Hun Under the Unas ) of Snntn Clnrn llnttrrr In n Klfort to Captare Schooner. ( Copyright , 1S9S , by the Associated Press. ) KEY WEST , Fla. . May 8. Only poor marksmanship on the part of the Spanish gunners caved the Vlcksburg and the cut ter Morrlll from destruction off Havana yes terday morning. For over half an hour they were under the fire of the guns of the Santa Clara water batteries , but both escaped without ma terial Injury , although shrapnel shells from 8-Inch guns exploded all about them , and both now show the pitted scars ot the Span ish bullets. The wily Spaniards had arranged a trap lo send a couple of our ships to the bottom. They baited It as n man would bait a trap. A small schooner was sent out from Ha vana harbor shortly before daylight yester day morning to draw some of the Americans . Into the ambuscade. The ruse worked like a charm. The Vlcks- burg and Morrlll , In tlio heat of the dhaso and In their contempt for Spanish gunnery , walked straight Into the trap that had been sot for them. Had the Spaniards possessed their souls In patience but five minutes longer , not even the bad guu practice would have sa\ed our ships , and this morning two more of our vessels would lie at the bottom within two lengths of the wreck of the Ill- starred Maine. Friday evening the Vlcksburg and Merrill rill , cruising to the west of Morro castle , were flred upon by the big guns of the Cojlmar batteries. Two shots were flred at the Vlcksburg and one at the Morrlll. Both fell short and both vessels , without rcturn-i Ing the fire , steamed out of range. It would have been folly to have done otherwise. But yesterday morning the Spaniards had better luck. The schooner they had sent out before daylight ran off to the eastward , hugging the shore , with the wind on Its starboard quarter. About three miles east of the entrance of the harbor It came over on the port tack. A light haze fringed the horizon , and it was not discovered until three miles off shore , when the Mayflower made It out and signaled the Morrlll and Vlcksburg. Illtc lit tlir Unit. Captain Smith of the Morrlll nnd Com mander Lilly of the Vlcksburg immediately slapped on nil steam and started In pursuit. The schooner instantly put about and ran for Morro castle before the wind. On doing so It would , according to the well conceived Spanish plot , lead the two American war ships directly under the guns of the Santa Clara batteries. These works are a short mile west of Morro , and are ft part of the defenses of the harbor. There arc two batteries , ono at the shore , which has been recently thrown up of sand and mortar , with wide embrasures for eight-Inch guns , and the other on the crest of the rocky eminence which Juts out into the water of the gulf nt this point. The upper battery mounts modern ten- Inch and twelve-Inch Krupp guns , behind a six-foot stone parapet. In vhlch arc twenty feet of earthwork , nnd a belting of railroad Iron. This battery is considered the most formidable of Havana's defenses , except Morro castle. It is masked and has not been absolutely located by the ' American ar ships. It Is probably due to the fact that the Spaniards did not desire to expose its position that the Vlcksburg and Morrlll are now afloat. The Morrlll and Vlcksburg were about six miles from the schooner when the chase began. They steamed after It at full spfled.i the Morrlll leading until within a mile and a half of the Santa Clara batteries. Commander Smith of the Vlcksburg was the first to realize the danger Into which the reckless pursuit had led them. He con cluded It was time to haul off , and sent a shot across the bow of the schooner. The Spanish skipper instantly brought his vessel about , but while It was still rollIng - Ing in the trough of the sea , with Its sails flapping , an eight-Inch shrapnel shell came RAILROADS.

It pns e4 orer the Morrlll nnd cxplodnl less than fifty feet on the port quarter. The small shot rattled against Its Hide. It was a close call , flhut * Come Clo r. Two more shots followed In quick succes sion , both shrapnel. Ono burst close under .he starboard quarter , filling the engine- room with the smoke of the explosion ot the shell , and the other , like the first , passed over nnd exploded just bcjond. The Span ish gunners had the rnngo and their lima fuses were accurately set. The crews ot both ships were at their guns. Lieutenant Craig , who was In charge of the bow 4-Inch rapid-fire gun of the Mor rlll , asked for and obtained permission to return the fire. At the first shot the Vlcks- burg , which was In the wake of the Morrlll , lightly In shore , sheered oft and passed to windward under the Morrlll's stern. In the meantime Captain Smith also put bis helm to port , and was none too soon , for as the Morrlll stood off a solid 8-lhch shot grated Its starboard quarter and kicked up tons of water as It struck a wa\e 100 yards beyond. Captain Smith said afterward that this was undoubtedly an 8-Inch armor-piercing pro jectile , and that it would have paused through the MorrlU'8 boilers had he not changed Its course In the nick of time. All the guns of the water battery were now nt work. One of them cut the Jacob's ladder of the Vlcksburg adrift , and another carried away a portion of the rigging. As the Morrlll and the Vlcksburg steamed away their aft guns were used , but only n , few shots were fired. The Morrlll's 6-Inch gun was elevated for 4,000 yards , and struck the earthworks re peatedly. The Vlcksburg fired but thrco shots from Its C-pounder. The Spaniards cont'nilcd to fire shot nnd shell for twenty minutes , but the shots were Ineffective. Some of them wrrc BO wild that they aroused the American "Jack- lea" to Jeers. The Spaniards only ceased firing when the Morrlll and Vleksburg were completely out of range. If all the Spanish gunners had been suf fering from strabismus their practice could not have been worse. But the officers of both the Morrlll and Vlcksburg frankly ad mit their own recklessness and the narrow escape of their teasels from destruction. They arc firmly convinced that the pursuit of the schooner was a neatly planned trick which almost proved successful. If any ono of the shots had struck the thin skin of either vessel It would have offered no more resistance than a piece of paper to a rill * ball.
