CRUISER CINCINNATI (C-7) FIRING A SIX INCH GUN
(From a Drawing by Carlton T. Chapman in HARPER'S WEEKLY)
The bombardment of Matanzas on April 27th was momentous, because at that time the first shots were fired by the American fleet in Cuban waters against
the Spanish flag. For eighteen minutes the flagship New York (ACR-2), the monitor Puritan (BM-1) and the cruiser Cincinnati at a range of 4000 yards from earthworks abreast of their stations, were firing almost incessantly. The engagement was opened by the flagship, but the Puritan and Cincinnati impatiently signalled for permission to join her. The request was at once granted, and the Cincinnati waa speedily in action, demolishing the enemy's batteries on the west shore.
The accuracy of the gunners on the big cruiser was remarkable, and every discharge of her 6 inch guu wrought destruction to the Spanish works, while the
men were full of enthusiasm, and overjoyed at the distinction of firing the first shots of the war.
The subject of the illustration from Harper's Weekly, which we reproduce, is the Cincinnati swinging into line opposite the enemy's forts, and discharging her forecastle gun. It was the first test in modern warfare of American naval discipline and gunnery, and the test proved conclusively that thirty-five years of peace has not dulled the traditional keenness of Yankee marksmanship.

DECKS OF THE CINCINNATI COVERED WITH ASHES FROM MARTINIQUE'S CRATER
UNCLE SAM possesses no warship with a more unique history ihan the cruiser Cincinnati (C-7) which now lies in Naval Row, Honolulu harbor, attached to the fleet of Admiral Evans. More Central and South American and West Indian revolutions have been participated in by the Cincinnati than almost any other vessel in the American navy. The Cincinnati also has the honor to have been the first American warship to arrive in the harbor of the ill-fated city of St. Pierre, Martinique, four days after the eruption of the volcano La Soufriere in May 1902, which destroyed the lives of 31,000 people in almost the twinkling of an eye.
