Bombardment At Nipe

Key West, Fia., July 25.- The United States gunboats Topeka, Annapolis, Wasp and Leyden silenced the Spanish fortiflcations in Nipe bay, on the northern coast of the province of Santiago de Cuba, on Thursday, and sank the Spanish gnnboat Juan Jorge, which lay in the harbor. Her crew escaped in small boats under a heavy fire from the Leyden. The four ships mentioned, which had entered under orders from Rear Admiral Sampson, pounded the forts for an hour, when the Spanish flag was hauled down. The Americans did not lose a man, but the Spanish loss must have been heavy.
