CARDENAs HARBOR IS CLOSED.
Spaniards Have Filled 1t with sun
ken distractions.

On Board the Associated Press Dispatch
Boat Wanda, off Cardenas, May 2S.-(Via
Key West, May 29.)-Cardenas harbor
has been completely closed by the Spn-
iards since the attack of the Winslow and
other American torpedo boats. This TACT
was demonstrated yesterday by the at
tempt of the English steamship Myrtle
dene to enter the port to take ON cargo
of sugar.
The Myrtledene had begun to take on
the cargo when war was declared and she
was ordered out by the American gunDo@t
Machias. Her owners claimed that under
the blockade proclamation she was en-
titled to 30 days to load and Secretary Oh
the Navy Long gave the steamer perlnl'-
sion to return and complete her cargo
She found, however, that the harbor was
filled with sunken distractions and couio
not get in She lies outside OF the mar
Dor uncertain whether to attempt 10
bring her cargo out in lighters or walt iof
the war to end.
The waters of Cardenas are too shallow
for big ships and the Winslow Tragedy
probably closes the history of naval opera
tions in that quarter

| A German resident of Havana now at
Key West says that the strength of the
insurgent army in Cuba has been mon
strously overestimated.
tx President Harrison has been chosen
by Venezuela as counsel before the board
of arbitration in settling the boundary
dispute with England.
William Drake, notorious burglar,
who tortured his victims and who es-
capped from Jail at Salem, n. Y, has been
arrested at Petersburg, Va.
At Washington the United States SUI
preme court has decided that convictions
under the oleomargerine laws of Pennsyl-
vania and New Hampshire are invalid,
thus holding the laws unconstitutional.
The treasury department has ordered
that clearance papers be refused vessels

Reports to the bureau of statistics in
dicate that the net importations of gold

The old monitors, which did such eff
fective service in the civil war, have been
practically rebuilt at the League island
navy yard, Philadelphia, and rendered far
more formidable than they were origi-
nally In addition to full equipment of
modern appliances, they have been fur
nished with rapid fire batteries to supple
ment their big old-style guns, which are
tremendously effective at close range.

WAS sCHLEY'S VANCOUVER
Led Cervera to Believe He Had
Given Up the Chase.

Mole st. Nicholas Haiti, May 30.-The
following dispatch has been received here
from the correspondent of the Associated
Press with the American fleet off San
tiago:
Off Santiago de Cuba, May 29.-Com-
modore Schley and the flying squadron
have the Spanish fleet bottled up in the
harbor of Santiago BY the most clever
manoeuvering the commodore allowed the
Spaniards to think he had left in disgust.
They took the bait and ran into the har-
Dor Schley moved down this morning
and at o'clock by going close to the har-
Dor he saw the Cristobal Colon, Maria
Teresa, and two torpedo boats.
Commodore Schley has acted upon his
own information and judgment for six
days and believes the whole Spanish fleet
is there. After the discovery OF the fleet
he went to breakfast saying:
Il have got them and they will never
get home
The auxiliary cruiser st. Paul arrived
here this morning and was sent to Mole
st. Nicholas with dispatches. She cap
tured a coal ship, which was sent to Key
West by Captain Sigsbee in charge of a
prize crew. The coal was undoubtedly in
tended for the Spanish fleet. 1t is be-
lieved there is not much coal at Santiago.
The officers and men of the flying
squadron are jubilant over the fact that
the location of the Spanish fleet has finally
haan dafinitalV psta bliShqd
The temperature here is no in the
shade and in the steel turrets the heat is
actually beyond the power of magma
ton. The American ships here are the
Brooklyn, Texas, Massachusetts, Iowa,
Marblehead and Vixen, torpedo gun
! boat.

STARVING AT SANTIAGO.
Population Discouraged and Wants
Peace.

Port Au Prince, May 20.-Two Italians
who set out from Santiago de Cuba i'll a
small boat OH May 49, landed near Mole
ST. Nicholas on the 22d, arriving here to-
day, bringing information as to the situa-
ton at Santiago. The state of affairs
there is critical particularly SO because OF
the lack of food. A great many of the
unfortunate people, especially the recon
centrados, are dying of starvation. The
whole population is terribly discouraged
and keenly DESTROYS of peace.
The arrival of the squadron under Ger
vera without food supplies for the city
deepened the general dependency. The
squadron has disembarked 800 men, artil-
lerymen and engineers and landed 10000
Mauser rifles, a great quantity of am
munition and four big guns destined for
the Notifications. In spite of the strict
silence maintained by the officers and
crews, the general impression was when
the Italians left, that the squadron would
set sail for San Juan, Puerto Rico, to OBJ
tain supplies and land ammunition there.

Halifax, n. S, May 30.-Lieutenant
General Alexander Montgomery Moore,
who for the past five years has been in
command of the British troops in the do

His successor in command of the dOmin-

as lieutenant and went with the forces to
the Crimea, being then but Il years of

sistant military secretary and assistant

my, and in 1882 had command of the Cold
streams in Egypt. He was in the en-
gagement at Tel-el-Maskuta and at the

henlohe, Langenburg, were in 1871 given
the rank of marquis children.

World from Manila via Hong Kong SAYS:
The situation of the besieged inhabitants
of Manila is growing more and more des.
perate, owing to the cutting off of sun.
plies, The blockade by Deweys squad.
ron is complete, while the insurgents have
surrounded the city on the land side, thus
etfectually closing the place in.
Dewey has deferred further aggressive
action at this point until the arrival of
the cruiser Charleston with coal and am
munition, and of the promised troops for
military occupation of the islands.
Powers Have Agreed.
Berlin, May 2S.-An article in the Post
says:
ut is declared semi officially that the
recent rumors as to the transfer of the
Philippine islands to France or to Ger
many or to their partition among the
European powers with interests in the far
east have no foundatio whatever Amer
lea is not yet in possession, it is true,
and it is quite possible that she may not
ever occupy them. But any laying OF
hands on the islands at present would
be hostile act against America, nor
would it be tolerated by the other Europ-
can powers having interests there"
This utterance may be taken as explicit
proof that the continental powers have
come to an agreement on the subject to
await further action by America.
