SPANISH STEAMER
 RUNS THE BLOCKADE

NEW YORK, June 3O.-A Washing ton special to the Herald says: The Spanish steamer Villa Verde, which left Vera Cruz. Mexico, on June 16. bound Ostensibly for San Domingo, has succeeded in running the Cuban block ade and landed a large cargo of sup plies and provisions on the island In spite of the special vigilance of the blockading fleet, it is now positively known the Villa Verde landed its cargo in Cuba. Captain Leris, one of the most able Spanish mariners in Mexico, boarded the steamer ostensibly as a passenger but it is now known he as sumed charge of the blockade runner, and that Captain Presas acted as pilot Indications are that the Villa Verde landed her cargo either at Batabano or La Colma on the. southern coast of Cuba.
 It is on this account that President Mckinley issued his proclamation ex- tending the line of the blockade. In addition to the cargo the steamer took on board at Vera Cruz she is believed to have received additional supplies for the Spaniards which had previously been sent to Meyers Island.
 Cuban agents report that Spain has considerable force of agents at work constantly in Mexico to secure aid for Spain, and arrangements have been made to equip blockade runners as long as possible at Vera Cruz.

Re-enforcements to Be Kept Moving to Cuba Until the Sponiords Are Vastly
 Outnumbered.

ger, via steamer from Newport News, reached him to-day on the Harvard and the steamer Yale is expected at Newport News day after tomorrow, returning from her first trip with Duff fields soldiers to take more re- enforce ments. probably includinP Garretsons battalion.
 The steamers will be further availed of in pursuance of Secretary Alger s intention to continue to dispatch re- enforcement after re- enforcement to Shafter until he has an overpowering force at his command. The Secretary believes that no ground is lost in this way, for if there is an overplus ot troops at Santiago they can be easily used elsewhere.
 Major General Coppinger is not to go to Santiago with any of these addition al forces. He is senior to General Shaf- ter, and if sent to Santiago by virtue of the army regulations would assume command of the army in front of that place. Therefore it is likely that he will be reserved for the command of the Porto Rican expedition.
 The reports from Santiago as to re- connoitering parties and efforts of our officers to take observations of the city lead to the belief at the War Depart ment that a big balloon may be utilized by General Shafter as a means of sur veying Santiago and all the surround ing country. General Greedy, chief sig nal officer, sent a complete balloon train with General Shafter's expedition and it is now available for use on the field If General Shafter desires this mode of observation.
 The War Department made public to-day the following telegram received from General Shafter yesterday:
 PLAYA DEL ESTE, June 2S, 4:3C P. M.-Major General Miles, command ing army, Washington: Thanks for congratulations. Affair was unimpor- tant. (Skirmish in which Rough Riders participated.) Only 964 men engaged on our side, but 1t was very decisive in our favor, the enemy retreating precip- itately., The lack of cavalry only pre- vented their capture. Reports from Spanish sources from Santiago say we were beaten, but that we persisted in fighting, and they were obliged to fall back. I deeply regret the loss of so many brave men.
 ''I expect to take the place as soon as I get ready to move. Re-enforcements will not reach me. The horses stood the voyage well. Would like horses for Third Battalion officers of cavalry and Woods Volunteers.
 Health and spirits of command ex- cellent. Began the authorization of the command on we WeuneSudy. Last or the troops and artillery landed to day. Have transferred from Aseradero, fifty miles, 5000 troops of Garcia. All landed Have something over 4000 Cubans
 Hope to send you favorable reports soon. SKATER, Major General U. $. ", Commanding. ''
 General Shafter's reference to the condition of the men and horses was brought out by an inquiry from Gene ral Miles, saying: Telegraph condition of command, number of men, condition of men and horses and what you most need"
