AMERICAN FOOD FOR HAVANA.
Enough Forwarded TO Sustain the Spanish
Forccs for from Three to
Five Months.

New York. April 2l.-The British
steamer Aloedene will sail today for
Havana, loaded with provisions for the
Spanish army in Cuba, and the Nor
wegian steamer, Bergen, will sail on
saturday for the same port with like
cargo.
Among commission merchants 1t is Il
well known fact that agents of the
Spanish government have been active
in buying provisions in this city with
in the last few weeks, Every vessel
which has sailed for Havana recently
has been loaded with corn, flour, beans.
bacon, potatoes and lard, all for feeding
the Spanish soldiers.
The supplies are all shipped ostensi-
bly, to merchants in Havana, but on
their arrival there they are taken in
charge by the Spanish quartermaster
general. Steamers which have left this
port since April 10 have landed enough
provisions in Havana to last the Span
ish soldiers and citizens for three
months. Add to this the cargoes of the
Aloedene and the Bergen, and there
will be enough food in Havana to pre-
vent starvation for five months.
The cargo OF the Oi1zaba, which
sailed Saturday. was composed of 90
| 900 bushels of corn, 800 bushels of
beans, and 1885 sacks of flour besides
| hundreds of cases OF tara and barrels OF
ceding vessels was practically similar.
The Seneca sailed yesterday loaded
with provisions of like nature. Her
cargo also consisted of food supplies.
which Will be of lnestimable value to the
Spaniards when the Cuban ports are
blockaded. The Seneca's cargo was so
great that after the hold was filled the
decks We're piled with barrels and
boxes.
When the Aloedene sails today she
will carry much larger cargo of pro-
visions than any of the other Cuban
bound steamers have taken. All yester-
day pier No. II. where she is being
loaded, was filled with trucks and
drays loaded with provisions, princi-
pally potatoes. which were being trans
ferred to the vessels hold. The work
of loading the cargo went on rapidly
so that the steamer may be able to sail
early today.
The Bergen is Norwegian fruiter
She was chartered to take the place OF
the Segueranca. but that vessel also
will sail later, 1t is said, with a cargo
of fruit.
r.. a. C. Smith. who is in the Office
to which one of the steamers belong
said;
/" We don't known where our cargoes
come from or where they go. We are
! going to sail our steamers to Havana
right along, as we are under mail con-
tracts with TIN government and they
must be carried out"
Harry p. Booth, the president Of one
of the lines Interested. said;
| 1--WE are carrying goods to the same
merchants In Havana that we have
been for years. but ! don't doubt the
Spanish merchants sell them TO the sol
| diers. War or no war. we expect L
send our steamers to Havana; but al
OF them will stop at Nassau for orders
