 Heavy Fire.

Special cable to The Call and the New York

 don Bennett.
 PLAYA DEL ESTE, Cuba, June 22- Seven contact mines were taken from the harbor of Guantanamo to-day by picked crews from the Marblehead. and Dolphin. The work was done under a heavy fire from the shore, which was answered by the Marblehead and Dol phin. Three of the six contact arms of one of the mines were found to have been driven in. It is believed thlS was caused by the propeller of the Marble head or Dolphin when they went in the other day to destroy the fort. The driV- ing in of the arms should have caused tho mine to explode.
 The work of clearing the harbor cf mines will oe continued until all have been taken up. Then one of our light draught vessels will go in and Capture or destroy the Spanish gunboat which Is in hiding ClCse to the town.

Food Scarce and Flour Exhausted ir tbe City-American Marines at Guantanamo We'll

 ON BOARD THE HERALD-CALL DISPATCH BOAT SOMERS N. SMITH, off Guantanamo, via Mole St. Nicholas, June 22.-I visited yesterday the Cuban camp on the coast twenty miles west of Guantanamo. General de Castillo Is in command there and with 800 insurgents holds landing place where there is a breakWater and the remains of an old pier. It is place where troops could be put ashore easily, but 1t is too far from Santiago. General Castillo tells me that 18,000 Americans troops can capture Santiago in ten days.
 Two Spanish soldiers, who were cap- tured between Santiago and Guantana- mo report to General Castillo that food is scarce in the city. The supply of flour has been exhausted and bread Is made from rice and cornmeal. The prisoners state that the shells from the VeSuvius caused absolute horror in Santiago, where the people say the Americans throw earthquakes into the harbor at night. None of the shells struck the city. One hit the battery on Cayo Smith, entirely demolishing it., blowing the guns over the front of the works and killing the whole garrison. The shock was felt in Santiago itself.
 l have confirmed the news of the disaster to the Reina Mercedes. Her commander and eleven men were killed and twentveight men were wounded.
 Spanish Lieutenant Batista, who was captured last week, wrote to the gen. eral commanding at Caimanera beg ging that his exchange be speedily made, and asking that his wife and family be fed and cared for during his absence. The general replied in a note in which he called Batista a coward, and said that his family could starve. Batista tore the Spanish rosette from his hat and threw it into the sea- He wrote to the general denying that he is a coward, and declaring that the Americans won because they shot bet ter than the Spaniards, and had the support of artillery and machine guns.
 Notices have been posted in the woods by Cuban scouts saying that Spanish soldiers surrendering will be well treated.
 The marine camp is now we'll in- trenched and able to resist attack The health of the troops and men in the fleet is excellent. It is reported that there are many sick and wounded in the Spanish forces.

friendship between Russia and the United States will not be shaken by the events of the war.
 In response to an inquiry as to whether Russia was likely alone or with other powers to look with disfavor upon the control of the Philippines by the United States, the Ambassador said that he did not apprehend any change In the present good relations between the United States and Russia. He added, however, that it seemed to be quite undesirable that the possession of the Philippines should pass into the hands of England, as that would se- riously disturb the equilibrium in the far East
