KEY WEST, Fla., May 12 When
the United States gunboat Hudson
came up to the government dock at
8 o'clock this morning the bodies of
five dead men were lying on her after
deck. They were the remains of Ln
im W. Bagley and four members of
the crew of the torpedo boat Winslow,
who were killed in an engagement in
Cardenas harbor yesterday afternoon
The bodies were covered by the Stars
and Stripes.
Te engagement took place inside

VTi1mincrtr'n trip tornedo boat Winslow
and the gunboat Hudson were the
only vessels engaged. They entered
the harbor for the purpose of attacking
some Spanish gunboats which were
known to be there. These latter, how
ever, were not discovered by the Amer
ican force until the Spaniards opened
fire The land batteries ol tucu
supported the fire of the Spanish gun
boats. The engagement commenced at
2:05 P- m., and lasted for about an
hour.
The battle, while it lasted, was ter
