TELEGRAPH TO TIE TRIBUNE
Key West. Fla, April 2S.-The statement IS
made that the blockade OF Ma,anzas will be
maintained for the present Just as though the
shore batteries mad not been silenccd. The full
meaning Of that hombardment Is now under
stood though details Of the losses suffered by
the Spaniards are lacking.
NatanZas is the centre OF district in which
the distress among the rcconcortrados was most
terrible Hundreds Of tons of food received from
the United States in the early part OF the pres
ent month were confiscated by the Spanish au-
thorities Since then the population had had no
relief Troops would be kept busy for some
time in preparing the way for effective relief.
The insurgents in this district under Betan
court are active and numerous. They could cas-
fly form a junction with the United States
forces They have been able to interrupt the
communication Of the Spanish forces between
Cardenas and Matanzas. Cardenas is also In
vested by sea.
The arrival Of the Red Cross steamer State OF
Texas tonight from NewYork loaded down
with supplies makes more feasible an early land
Ing at Matanzas or some place near there which
would serve as centre for distributing relief
Four members OF the Red Cross are board.
and are expected to serve as distributing agents.
There are no calls for Red Cross nurses yet
Part OF the supplies are perishable. and 1t is
assumed that they will not be allowed to go to
waste waiting for opportunity Of distribution
when so many people are starving around
MatanZas
The State of Texas has fourteen hundred tons
OF canned goods. rice cornmeal etc.
The Mascotte did not arrive from Tampa on

MASSACRE OF PHILIPPINE REBELS.

SPAIN REsORTING TO FOUL TACTICS-0ENERAL
R1vERAs WANTS TO BE RELIEVED.
Vancouver r. c., April 2S-Mail brought by
the Empress Of China. which has arrived here
from Hong Kong and Yokohama states that the
people of the Orient are turning their attention
from the Far Eastern question to the war be-
tween the United States and Spain. Generally
speakirg. the press Is on the side Of America.
The Japan Daily Herald" declares that Span
ish pride and obstinacy conspired TO throw away
all chance Of peace.
The news from the Philippines is less than
ever reassuring for Spain. Despite official state
ments from Madrid that the rebellion has been
brought under control. the outbreak does not
seem to have been subdued. General Prima de
Riveras is so dsgusted with the Government
not carrying out his recommendations for re-
forms that he has insisted upon being relieved.
Spain seems to be resorting to foul tactics 10
kill the rebellion. At the end OF March loo
rebels were holding a meeting In house at
Manila. The news got to the authorities. and
upon their refusal TO surrender, about ten So
called insurrectionists were killed some forty
wounded and the remainder taken prisoners
They did not linger long In confinement oeinS
released by death. This massacre aroused In
tense indignation.
more evident than ever events progress and
develop that neither the present Government
nor the Philippine rebels can ever govern the
islands as they ought 10 be governed, with
view to the reasonable development of this
paradise OF the earth.
