ENGAGEMENT AT GUANTANAMO
Cruiser Marblehead in Full Possession
of the Bay.

of the Bay.
Washington, June 13.-The first
official confirmation of the engage
ment at Guantanamo came to the naval
department today and was made the
subject of q bulletin. The terms in
which Admiral Sampson described the
affair tended strongly to take away the
large importance that had been given
it in the unofficial discussion. There
was q notable failure on the part of the
admiral to mention anything like a
landing, although a statement that the
Marblehead now holds the lower bay
by implication may carry with 1t the
idea that her marines are ashore. The
cablegram follows:
"June 8 Admiral Sampson ordered
the Marblehead, Commander McCalla,
and the Yankee, Commander Brown
son, to take possession ofthe outer bay
of Guantanamo. These vessels entered
the harbor at daylight on the 7thi
driving the Spanish gunboats into the
inner harbor, and took possession Of
the lower bay, which is now held by
the Marblehead."

San Diego, CAL, June 13-The
United States steamer Monterey anc
her coal consort, the Brutus, supposed
to be speeding on their way toward
Honolulu and Manila, were sighted al
noon today, steaming south toward San
Diego, at a good rate OF speed, the
Monterey leading. They arrived of
the harbor mouth at 8 P. NJ. and sepa'
rated, the Brutus going about five
miles south and anchoring near Coro'
nado island, while the Monterey came
in rapidly and dropped her anchor at 4
p. NJ. off the coal bunkers. A great
crowd was on the wharf to receive her,
Paymaster Rogers stated briefly that
they had simply come in here for coal
and water, and would sail tomorrow
afternoon for Honolulu.

The statistical news Of wheat for the
past week has been very bearish.
Beerbohm reported the worlds ship

ible wheat increased during the week

acreage shows q radical increase every

orable for wheat everywhere except in
California, and the present condition
of winter wheat is reported at 90.7,
against $40 last month and S3.5 last
year. The condition OF spring wheat is
practically perfect, with an aveage of
99.1, which is the highset figure ever
reported on June l by any reliable au-
thority. The situation in Oregon and
Washington is enough better than last
year to practically offset the loss in
California. Bearish sentimnet seems
to be gaining both here and abroad.
A private Liverpool cable says: The
trade is bearish and lower prices must
follow. Upward manipulation is out
of the question, with worlds ship
ments so large and American prospect
is flattering." Minneapolis reported
no buyers OF cash wheat in that mar
ket today. About the only strong fac
tor has been the New York market,
where foreigners are asid to have
bought large quantities for September

been we'll sustained, and the foreign
support thus given encouraged a belief
that prices may do better here, at least

lNIP Of THE HARD02
Insurgents View Fleet
in Santiago.
IN CLOSE TOUCH WITH SCHLEY

Give Very Definite Information Regard
ing Cane Verde Fleet-Entire Span
ish Force at Santiago Numbers But
1000 Poorly Fed Soldiers.
Of Santiago de Cuba, via Kingston,
Jamaica, June 1l-After driving the
suanish feet at Santiago de Cuba into
smore protected position in the har-
bor, by the bOmbaTdmenE OF Tuesday,
Commodore Schley opened communica-
tion with the insurgents IS miles from
Santiago to the east. They were urged
to obtain, ii possible, the names and
number of the feet inside the harbor,
as the contour of the land at the en-
trance made it impossible to accurately
determine by the view of the fleet Just
how many vessels Of the Spanish squad
ron were there.
On Friday afternoon Lieutenant
Sharp, of the Vixen, went to the place
Of the rendezvous. and secured from the
insurgents a map Of the harber, show
ing the entire Cape Verde feet, with
the exception of the destroyer Terror,
inside, and close to the city under the
protection OF the guns on Blanco bat
terry at the northern extremity of the
harbor. The ships there, according to
this chart, are the Cristobal Colon,
Vizcaya, Almirante Oquendo, the Ma
ria Teresa and the Reina Mercedes (de-
strOyed by the American warships
since this dispatch was written), all
cruisers of the first-class, and heavily
armOred, together with three torpedo
boats. The definiteness of this infor-
nation naturally gave Commodore
Schley great satisfaction.
With Admiral SIMPSONS arrival,
Wednesday, the blockade was much
strengthened, and the plans to starve
the fleet were pushed vigorously. Just
how long Santiago can stand beseising
is a matter OF conjecture. The coun-
try about the city is unproductive and
mountainous, and the insurgents camps
are SO close that there is little or no
communication between the city and
its environs. The railway service is
not carried to a distance much beyond
10 miles from the town. Since Sun
Gay last, when Cervera's squadron was
penned up by the flying squadron IN
der Commodore Schley, nothing has
been done since the auxiliary cruiser
st. Paul captured about 1000 tons of
coal consigned to the port. 1t is thor
oughly believed that only a short time
will be needed to bring Santiago to a
starvation basis. Naturally the fleet
has a supply, perhaps for two months,
but the Spanish soldiers cannot be sus-
tanned on this. An important fact was
learned today from the insurgents on
shore, with whom communication has
oeen opened up There are not co.
VOO soldiers, rs has been stated, in
this part of the province of Santiago de
CUBA, but only about 5000. Even
these are badly fed and much disheart-
enel.

torpedo-boat destroyer, probably the
Juror or Pruton.
The character OF the vessel was not
definitely known until the next day,
when the torpedo-boat Porter found
two loaded torpedoes floating off shore.
Neither OF them had been discharged.
One sank, but the other was hauled on
board the Porter. 1t exactly fitted the
description of the torpedoes carried by
the Pluton and Furor.
1t is believed the torpedo-boat de-
stroyer escaped. She was seen by the
New Orleans when too far away for the
latter to do any damage, and the heavy
fire must have driven her back.
The daring attempt OF the Spaniards,
which was fortunately frustrated by
the VIGILANCE of the New Orleans
lookout, is the first instance of its kind
since the beginning of the war. As
seen from the flagship, the scene was
brilliantly dramatic. The New York
was lying several miles to the east of
Moro Castle. The New Orleans was
on her starboard hand, close inshore,
ready to pounce upon any craft which
attempted to steam out under the
shadow Of the hills. Shortly after 10
O'Clock the New Orleans flashed her
private signal, and in a few minutes
colOred lights sprang up in the dark
ness from the New Orleans deck.
They signalled that the enemy was in
sight.
On board the flagship men and off,

terry. The flagship was then too far
away to see the object OF the fire.
a dim object like a small boat con-
cealed in smoke was seen on the port
hand from the signal bridge, and En-
sign Murlin reported to Captain Chad
wick "a torpedo-boat one point for
ward on the port beam headed this
way" Captain Chadwick and Rear
Admiral Sampson, was ON the forward
bridge. Before a shot was fired from
the flagship, this curious looking OBJ
ject disappeared. 1t must have been
Two or three miles away from the New
York and the same distance from the
New Orleans. When a mile away and
close to Moro. an object was seen
against the cliffs. 1t was thought to
be a torpedo-boat, and the New York's
forward s-inch guns beloved out,
making a hideous noise In the quiet
night, lighting the air with bright
smoke. On shore a few sparks close
to a dark object showed where the
shells struck. The four-inch and six
Founders followed suit, and for a few
minutes a sharp fire was kept up. The
boom Of the Oregon's big guns was
twice heard Il the Eastward.

After a careful watch, the New York
