EFFECTIVE BLOUKADE
Authentic Reports by Two Cuban
' Commissions.
What They Tell About Condit'ons in the.
Districts East and lVest of Havana—
The Spanish Gunboats Inactive—-En-
gagements Between the Spaniards and
Insurgents—The Number of Troops and
Their Condition.
Key \Vest, June 13.——Two Cuban com-
missions are now here, who were pick-
ed up by our ' steamers, one from a
point between Cardenas and Matanzns.
The latter is in chargetof Major Pra—
do. He is accompanied by two lieu—
tenants, and although they report great
scarcity of provisions they are healthy
and robust. Major Prado said:
“We have come here to report and
to seek provisions. In the district
where I came from, we have 2,000 men,
well armed, while the Spaniards, taking
probably fifteen or sixteen thousand.
Still, we are' in complete control of the
country up to within a. few miles of
either place. Early in this month 200
of our men had an engagement with
3,000 Spaniards in the woods back of
Cardenas. The Spaniards admitted
that they lost fifty men killed, while
we did not lose a man. W'e were in
the brush and they could not dislodge
us. Food is very scarce, both in lila-
tanzas and Cardenas. The Spaniards
have no corn and are feeding their
horses on rice. Gomez is in the cen-
tral part of Santa Clara province and
in need of provisions and ammunition.”
The other Cuban arrivals are Colonel
Arnao and Major Soto. who came from
Western Cuba, the Vueilta. Abajo dis-
trict. They report the Cubans to be
in good health and hopeful, there, but
subsisting only on fruits and herbs.
They are nearly naked, so Senor Poyo
says. .
In Plnar del Rio there are reported
to be from twelve to fifteen thousand
Spaniards, well armed, and about five
thousand Cubans. Both commissions
reported to Senor Poyo of the junta and
are here after provisions and ammuni-
tion.
Advices from the blockading squad-
ron off Havana report that the Span-
ish gunboats have not attempted any
demonstration since a week ago last
Sunday, when four of the gunboats at-
guns of the forts.
It was stated yesterday that the most
conclusive evidence has been found
against the Twickenham, going to
prove that she was undoubtedly sailing
under the orders of the Spanish con-
sul after leaving Martinique. Several
papers in ‘her log book are missing.
The Spanish officer, now held here as
a. prisoner, was found disguised as a
fireman hiding in the engine room. An
examination of his effects proved that
he was undoubtedly the second mate of
the Spanish hospital ship Alicante,""ly-
ing off Martinique. Naval ofiicers be-
lieve that this ship is supplying the
Spanish torpedo boats with coal.

mander.
lie conferred with the p-resilent and

Big Mining 'Deal.
Cincinnati, 0., June 18.—The formal
transfer of all the mines in the Jellico,
Tennessee district, was made yesterday
at Jellico. The operators, lessees and
mine owners are now there for that
purpose. The purchasers are the mem-
bers of an English syndicate represent-
ed by W. G. Burzy of New York, who
several weeks ago sent maps of the.
property to LOndon, and also the fig-
ures asked for the mines. On Monday
he was authorized to close the deal.
The price is understood to be between
$3,000,000 and' $4,000,000, which, with
other mining property the syndicate
has purchased, runs its investments up
to $30,000,000.
Spanish Spies in Kingston.
Kingston, Jamaica, June 18.—Spies
are numerous at Kingston. Just now,
as I was calling upon the United States
consul, a servant had to be Summoned
to clear the doorstep of the consulate
of loitering Spanish speakingpersons
pretending to be Cubans, but suspected
of being spies for Spain. Mr. Dent
constantlywatched and has to leave his
hotel and go, for the ::axe of more pri-
vacy, to live at the club. Many refu-
gees from Cuba are here, but sympa-
thizcrs with what cause it is impossiJ
ble to know.

SANTIAGO'FORTS SILENCED.
Sampson’s Gunners Knock the Estrellu'
Battery to Pieces at. Bra-alt of Day.
Kingston, Jamaica, June 18.-.—Admi-
ral Sampson has just completed the
destruction of the forts commanding
the entrance to Santiago harbor; '
The bombardment was entirely effect-
ive and was carried out in the most
Workmanlike manner.
At daybreak the ships left the block-
ading station and stood inshore. The
first gun was fired at twenty minutes
past five»
The morning was clear and bright
and the sun was just showing above
the horizon when the battleships Indi-
ana, Iowa, Texas and Massachusetts
and the cruisers Brooklyn, New York
and New Orleans attacked the Estrella
and Morro batteries. ‘
The auxiliary cruiser Hornet silenced
a small new battery two miles to the
east
The shooting of the American ships,
especially with shells thrown against
the batteries on the crest of the hill
at the eastern entrance of the harbor,
was greatly better than the attack on
Monday week.
The batteries on both sides of the
entrance Were silenced after about half
an hour’s firing, and Morro was ap-
parently deserted by the garrison,
though the Spanish flag was still fly-
mg.
Shortly after the action began a.
shell from the Oregon struck a. maga-
zine in the Estrella battery. A terrific
explosion followed. Masses of earth
and stones and pieces of wrecked gun
carriages rose amid an enormous cloud
of smoke. An ammunition case was
thrown high in the air, bursting as it
flew skyward.
The Estrella. battery, the most pow-
erful of Santiago’s defences, was abso-
liutely silent after the explosion.
The loss of life in the vicinity must
have been enormous.
The ships then went closer to the
Morro batteries. The New York, at a.
range of 3,000 yards, made splendid
practice against the guns on the crest
of the hill. The shells burst all round
them and they were hidden again and
again from sighlt by the sand and earth
thrown up by the exploding projectiles.
In ten minutes the battery was silent
and deserted.
The Spanish ships in the harbor came
down behind Morro and opened a long
range fire on the bombarding fleet.
A couple of projectiles fell close to
the Iowa and the Oregon, lying direct-
ly opposite the harbor entrance, but
none of {the American ships were hit at
all during the action.
The American ships replied vigorous-
ly to the Spanish vessels and drove
them 'back up the harbor.
York then signalled the ships to re-
sume their station.
When the bombardment began the
New Orleans steamed a. mile along the
coast and through a. gap in the hills
brought her fire as nearly as possible
on the same area as that of the New
York.
As a spectacle this was the finest
part of the bombardment. The guns
were given a. great elevation so as to
clear the high promontory between the
sea. and the harbor.
Of course it is impossible to know
the effect, as the town'and the harbor
are hidden behind a hill three hundred
feet high, but there is no doubt it was
terrible.

SPAIN’S TROOPS IN CUBA.
Cuban Officer Says over 10,000 Are Guard-
ing Coast in Mantanzas,
Key West, June 18.—An auxiliary
gunboat which has arrived from 1,01?
Haven-a reports all quiet along the
blockade. Small gunboats of the enemy
still try to lure American ships within
range of the batteries, but occasional
exchanges of shots have done no dam-
age.
The gunboat, which has been on the
Havana blockade for three weeks, had
on board Major Prado and two aides
from Colonel Roja’s insurgent forces,
with dispatches for the Cuban junta.
Major Prado and his aides left the
interior of Matanzas province on June
4 and wen-t through swamps to
coast near Cardenas. They waited
there for seven days, eluding Spanish
troops, finally getting a small boat,
in which they rowed to the nearest
American ship. .
The Cuban major says there are be-
tween 10,000 and 15,000 Spanish troops
under_ General Molina, in Matanzas
province, most of them near the coast,
between Matanzas and Cardenas.
The Cuban forces number fetween
6,000 and 8,000 men in the same terri-
tory. '
Both sides are reported to be well
armed but sorely in need of provisioris,
especially the insurgents. The Span-
iards have no corn for their horses and
are feeding them on rice.
Arrival of American Troops.
London, June 18.—A special dispatch
from Madrid says that, according to
a. dispatch just received from Hong
Kong, four warships carrying the flag
of the Philippine insurgents have ap-
peared in Manila bay and attacked the
city from the sea, in combination with
the insurgent forces on the land.
This dispatch probably indicates the
arrival at Manila of the cruiser
Charleston and the transports Austral:
lia, City of Sydney and City of Pekin,
carrying 2,600 United States troops, un-
der command of Brigadier General An-
derson. Our tranSport fleet was due at
Manila. on June 15, so that news of its
arrival on that day or the day before
could have reached Hong Kong by
now. or course there are no insurgent
warships, and if an attack was begun
Tampa, Fla., June 18.——Two men of
., the Second New York regiment were

the District of Columbia and Maryland
