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 v, v.o,-v,- of farrlenas. The gunboat 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 t.o ,wiiminrton and the Hudson were ahead and opened fire on the aonic-h Vvrnt which were lying at OMttillOIl vfc i the docks.
