Key West, Fla, May 16.—An eye-witness of the battle at Cienfuegos Wednesday gives the following ac- count; “Two boats from the Nashville and two from the Marblehead, com- manded by Lieut, Winslow, of the Nashville, were detailed to pick up and cut the cables off Cienfuegos, “The boats were at work within fifty yards of the beach when they were suddenly attacked by a large body of infantry under cover. Wretched shooting was done by the Spaniards. **When it is considered how large atarget a man-of-war and ifs crew are at the pistol shot range of fifty yards, it is impossible to conceive how a regiment of soldiers armed with Mauser rifles and firing mumer- ous volleys could do so little damage A regiment of sharpshooters firing to miss the boats might have made as many accidental hits as did those five hundred and odd Spaniards firing point blank to kill, “The ships promptly shelled the beach and the boats withdrew under ‘a galling fire, but vot until the cable bad been cut in two places. “The crews acted splendidly. Every man was as cool and collected as if no danger was near.” Been men badly wounded was the count, and one of them, Regan, died while on the way back to the ship Lieut Winslow was shot in the hand and a number of others were more or less injured, On the Nashville, Capt. Maynard was standing forward, with an ensign, when a Spanish bullet passed through the ensign’s shoulder and struck Maynard on the chest near the heart, woundiug bim only slightly. The Marblehead was struck scores of times by builets from machine guns, and the Nashville suffered to about the same extent. The Windom also had many marks of the fray Her shell, blowing up the lighthouse and seattering the Spaniards in all directions, ended the battle, Boltz and Hendrickson, who, with four others of the wou ul are at the naval hospital here, are expected to die. ‘The remains of Regan were buried at sea.
