UNDER THE FLAG OF TRUCE
ATTEMPT TO RESCUE TWO
AMERICAN CORRESPONDENTS
Conferences Between American and
Spanish Officers Off Havana
Americans to Exchange Prisoners.

Havana, May 15.-The Spaniards re-
Gently captured two Americans, both
of whom claim to be newspaper CORE
spondents and one of whom says he is
an electrical engineer. They were taken
at Salado. One carried a camera, wore
a small five-pointed star and had a
quantity of mail matter on his person.
When captured, they threw themselves
on Spanish generosity and shouted
Viva Espana~ 1t is reported that a
third member of the party made his
escape by swimming Fhe two who
were captured arrived here today and
were taken to Caballeria wharf, and
from there were carried to Cabanas
fortress.
At o'clock this afternoon a news
paper dispatch boat was seen ap-
preaching the entrance of the harbor,
bearing a flag of truce. Mr.. MarengO,
the chief of staff on the naval station,
went to meet the boat in a launch.
The American vessel lowered a small
boat with two American officers, who
informed Mr.. Marengo that their OBJ

before Governor General Blanco, after

FAMINE AT SANTIAGO.
Vessel Will Take Food to the French
Consul.

Kingston, Jamaica, May 15.-(Copy-
right, 1898, by the Associated Press).-
The French cruiser Fulton, from Ha-
vana on May 8, arrived here yesterday
and landed 3S refugees at the quaran-
tine station. The Fulton will now
proceed to Santiago de Cuba with pro-
visions for the French consul there,
who has cabled to Kingston, requesting
that food be sent him and announcing
that famine prevails at Santiago de
Cuba.
The officers of the Fulton, until her
arrival here, have been unable to OBJ
tain any definite news of the battle of
Manila. The first bulletins received in
Havana from Madrid were not allowed
TO be changed, and officials in Havana
insisted that the honors were about
even, as the American fleet had been
unable to land men.
1t appears from what the officers of
the Fulton say that the populace and
soldiers of Havana are disheartened by
the blockade and the improbabiIity of
any succOr reaching the city. On the
other hand, great American invading
army is expected to land in Cuba
shortly.
The prices of imported food, salt
meats, fish and flour are steadily
mounting at Havana, but vegetables
are to be had there in plenty, and there

CONDITIONS IN CUBA.
Havana Defenses Strengthened and
Manned By 10000 Men.

New York, May 15.-Among the Cuban
refugees on board the British steamship
Strathdee, which has arrived here from
Sagua, Cuba, was a former surgeon in
the Spanish army of Cuban birth who.
with his fellow Cubans. was compelled 70
resign from the army at the beginning Of
the war. AS he left a mother and sister
in Havana he does not, for obvious
toned in connection with a story giving
information of the condition of the Span
ish lines.
The refugees left Cuba 10 days ago. At
that time there were 10000 Spanish
soldiers and 10000 volunteers in Havana
The Notifications were being strength
ened by additions of stone, rock, etc. in
which cannon have been mounted, which,
II is claimed, have range of u miles.
Notifications have been raised to repel
land as well as sea attack.
All the hospitals and the asylumS as
well are crowded with Spanish sick. The
food and the medicines left by the Ameri-
cans for the reconcentrados have been
seized by Spaniards. The English consul
has the keys of the storehouses. but the
soldiers broke the doors and seized what
they liked. generally respecting anything
marked red cross. While yellow fever is
prevalent. it is not so much as alodismo,
Cuban malarial fever.

children have had protection and supplies

having seen hostile fleet. On Sunday
morning a schooner on the horizon,
bearing north toward the ships, sud-
denly caught sight of the squadron,

from view.
The fleet had splendid weather and

ordered to Key West, and sails tonight.
Charleston, S. c., May 15.-Commo-
dore Schley's flying squadron passed
here at $50 this afternoon, stopping
just long enough to receive orders that
were awaiting on board the lighthouse
tender Wistarea. The squadron was
under full Roadway again in Is min
utes, and soon passed out of range to
the southwark.
Nothing could be obtained from the
naval district, commander as to the des-
tination of the squadron, but the i'm
preston prevails that it is bound for
Key West. Commodore Schley reported
all well.

ASSIGNMENTS OF TROOPS.
All of Utah's Cavalry Goes to Chicka-
mau0a.

Washington, May 15.-After going
over the situation last evening with
General Miles, Adjutant General Cor
bin and the heads of the supply depart
ment, the secretary of war made an
order for the assignment of volunteer
troops now being mustered into the
service of the United States, and desig-
mated points where they will assemble
with the least possible delay.
Sixty-five thousand troops have been
mustered in. Orders were issued today
directing IS regiments of infantry. IL
light batteries of artillery and so troops
of volunteer cavalry to go to Chicka-
manga, nine regiments and five bat
talions of infantry and four batteries
of artillery to San Francisco. one regi-
ment of infantry to Key West, four
of cavalry to New Orleans, one refi-
ment of infantry to Mobile, II regi-
ments of infantry and seven battalions
of infantry to Washington. and 10
regiments of infantry to Tampa.
This step was rendered necessary
from the fact that the state authori-
ties are very fast relinquishing control
of troops that are passing over the mus
ter line under the authority of the
general government. 1t became neces-
sary to assemble these troops at once,
in order to meet the problem of their
subsistence, no less than that of their
equipment in the way of arms. clothing.
camp ard garrison equipage, to say
nothing of the superior advantage of
drill and instructions under trained Of
ficers, as it is the intention that it
shall be in every instance.
The order of assignment shows there
has been some change regarding the
points to which volunteers shall be
sent, as a great portion of them go to
Chickamauga, while those who will
come to Washington are less by a
thousand than were originally assign
ed to this city.

at Cape Henry on Friday night, and
the squadron proceeded to sea at
ten-knot squadron speed. At sunset,
active battle preparations were made.
Ports were closed with steel covers,
battle matches covered, the main battle
ships guns loaded, and men sent to the
guns with instructions for a night
watch to be kept. With all lights ex-
tinguished, the squadron proceeded in
a southeasterly direction. Toward
morning several heavy fog banks We're

There was e disposition among some
of those who saw this statement to re-

the report of disability was intended
