gust, and the Spaniards started to move out of the har
bor hut before they could do so ScUIey’s-ships hove in sight
and poured a perfect rain of shot and shell into them and
against the forts on shore, The Spanish r fortresses
fered heavy losses and the number of men lost to the eru
emv must have been enormous. As the shells of our ships
hit their batterries the forms of men flying in the ait were
plainly visible. The masonry of Monro Castle was al
most battered into dust and that fort IS said to now be a
crumbling ruin. Not a .single American was killed and
