CTBA'S ENTIRE COAST BLOCKADEI

Washington July 1.-THE success attending
the attempt TO blockade the entire coast 81
Cuba is a source Of qualification to the Navy.
II is confidently asserted that since the Presi-
dents second order extending the blockading
lines no substantial aid in tho matter Of food
or war supplies has reached the Spanish forces
In Cuba In some measure this "a chargeabe
to the energetic efforts OF the United States
consular officers abroad to prevent the depart
ure Of expeditions formed for the relief Of the
blockaded Spaniards. Tho Amci lean Consul at
Vera Cruz. for instance. has been particularly
active and has succeeded in holding up the big
steamer Montevideo which is loading at that
port with supplies. He il not quite clear as to
the destination Of the boat. and has appealed To
the Mexican local authorities to investigate her
character and. II 1t is found that she proposes
to violate the neutrality laws. 10 prevent her
departure. The vessel is armed. and may prove
an ugly customer for some Of our smaller block

AWFUL WORK OF SHELLS.

Playa del Este. Guantanamo Bay July l.
Some idea OF the awful rain Of shells poured
into the doomed Spanish squadron on the morn
ing OF July $ by the pursuing American war
ships may be gained from the number of shots
fired from the battle ship oregon. This number
also bears out the statement OF the Spanish OFF,
GERS that 1t was the fire from the second batter
les that drove their men from their guns ana
forced the ships to beach.
From the time when Private O'Shay or the
tle-shlp Oregon. fired the first shot from her
forward G-pounder. until the Cristobal Colon
turned toward the shore. the Oregon fired l,'6
shells OF these 1910 were from her 6-pounders.
The big 13-inch guns fired thirty-four
times. the S-nch guns twenty-three times and
the G-inch twenty four times. The l-pounders
were fired twenty times.
The destruction caused by some of the shots
was fearful. One S-nch shell. which penetrated
the turret OF the Almirante Oquendo exploded
and killed every person inside. blowing some to
pieces.

13.-The little town OF Juraguacito, or Sboney.

night. 1t was burned by order OF the Army
health authorities. Almost every building Of
the fifty which struggled along the irregular
bluff was set on fire this afternoon and the
Cuban inhabitants have fed to the caves in the
overhanging hls!des.
The action was taken at the urgent request OF
Major Legardo. OF the Hospital Corps, and
served the Joint purpose Of Kidding the hospital
camp OF the unheathfu and dirty buildings and
driving away scores Of Cuban followers whose
presence was a serious inconvenience to the
hospital workers
The burning OF the houses also extended along
the trail to the front and numerous blockhouses
were destroyed. together With dwellings.
The action was decided upon last night and
early this morning the long wooden building at
the extreme east end Of the street. which
had served as division headquarters during the
early days of the landing and later as post
office. was burned. This building was one OF
the most imposing in the city. with its long
broad verandas and well-bult stoop, and as the
flames burst from the windows and swept over
the roof the Cuban dwe!lers in the neighborng
houses began to rush for safety.
They were assisted by n detachment Of SOL
ders in removing their effects and the buildings
were set on fire as rapidly as vacated The o!o
wooden structures would ordinarily have burned
like finder. but the heavy rains made the names
slow in spreading. The dwelling-house sent up
volumes Of black smoke. which was visible Tor
miles.
In spite OF the protests Of the ragged Cupans
the work Of destruction proceeded steadhy All
day The building In which field telegraph anu
telephone Offices were located shared the COM
mon fate.
The work was not completed until after DARK
when the torch was applied TO the last nuhdihg
