what was taking place.
Couriers from Cuba yesterday brought
highly encouraging reports from Gen.

equipped than ever before in the matter
of clothing, and they are in excellent

occupy territory along the northern
coast near Manati. The Spanish troops
have withdrawn to Santiago, Holquin
and Manzanillo, and General Garcia still
holds his headquarters It Bayamo.
General Mario Menocal has been
obliged to abandon his contemplated at

the city and strongly fortified the neigh

asked to proceed to Havana province
and take command there. The Cuban
military leaders have been discussing
the summer campaign. They believe

Port au Prince, Hayti, May 3D.
copyright, 1898, by the Associated
Press. 1.-Two Italians who set out from
Santiago de Cuba in a small boat on
Thursday, May 10, and landed near
Mole ST. Nicholas on the 22nd, have ar
rived here, bringing information as to
the situation at Santiago. The state of
affairs there is critical, particularly so
because of the lack of food. A great
many of the unfortunate people, es-
pecially the reconcentrados, are dying
of starvation. The whole population is
terribly discouraged and keenly desir-
Gus of peace. The arrival Of the squad
ron under Cervera without food sup
plies for the city deepened the general
dependency.
The squadron has disembarked 800
men, artillerymen and engineers, and
landed 10000 Mauser rifles, a large
quantity of ammunition and four big
guns, destined for the Notifications. In
spite Of the strict silence maintained
by the officers and crews the general
impression was when the Italians left
that the squadron would set out for
San Juan, Porto Rico, to obtain sup
plies and land ammunition there. For
several days the rain had been falling
in torrents and many cases Of fever

Cape Haytien, Hayti May 81, Sis p.
m.-[Copyright, 1898. by Associated
Press. ]-Advices just received from
Havana say that since o'clock yester-
day afternoon the American fleet at
Santiago de Cuba has been cannonading
the batteries of Moro castle, La Zecapa
and Punta Carda. At the same time it
is added the American ships have been
engaged with the Spanish warships.
The firing was extremely heavy. At 3:45
p. m. the cannonading became less
heavy against the Notifications, but
was more accentuated in the locality
where the fleets were engaged.
MORO castle is at the entrance of the
harbor of Santiago de Cuba. La Zecapa,
also shown on the maps as Lazecapa
castle, is a short distance inside the
harbor entrance, and Punta Carda is
situated on a point well inside the har-
Dor of Santiago de Cuba showing that
the American fleet has entered the har-
Dor, according to the Havana advices
via Cape Haytien, and has engaged the
Spanish fleet in those waters.l
Say There Has Been Hot Fight.
GAO p. NAT this hour the Santiago
cable is still working from Santiago.
Private messages intimate that there
has been a severe fight between the
American fleet and the outer fortifica-
lions and the Spanish fleet. The fight
lasted the greater part of the afternoon.
The advantage appears to have been
with the Americans. According to the
latest advices the combat is still in
progress.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press, who was at the signal station
about the same time, also heard sounds
resembling a cannonade. The wind was
in the right direction to carry the de-
donations to him. 1t seems certain that
the fleet the Haytien gunboat saw pass
ing Cape Maysi going northward found
It's opportunity of turning backward
across the front of an opposing force.
11:15p D. m.-According to advices from a
Spanish source fourteen warships and two
torpedo boats were engaged in the COM
bat at Santiago. A very careful fire was
directed against the batteries Of Moro
Castle until 3:45 p. M, when discharges
of cannon began to be heard at sea off
the Port. These discharges continued
until 4 o'clock, and then entirely ceased.
From the Spanish account 1t is impos-
sible to Judge as to the exact merits OF
the encounter

The Cruiser Columbia Comes Near Going
to the Bottom.
New York, May 31.-When the United
States cruiser Columbia, in command Of
Captain Sands, anchored off Tompkins-
vile, S. l., yesterday afternoon 1t was
seen that she had large jagged hole
stove in her startboard side abreast Of
the mainmast. Above the water line
the hole extended about ten feet high
and six feet wide. Just how far below
the water line the cruiser was damaged
could not be ascertained, and none Of
the naval officers would give any in
formation in regard to the accident. As
soon as the vessel came to anchor the
captain and crew, twenty-one in all, Of
the British steamer Foscolia-which left
this port Saturday with cargo of ma
chinery and general merchandise for
Bordeaux-went ashore. Neither the
captain nor any of his crew would talk
when they landed, and all that could be
obtained from the officers of the CO.
lumbia was that the two vessels had
collided and the Columbia had saved
the crew Of theFoscolia.
Later the captain of the Foscolia said
that the vessels collided In fog and
that the bow Of his ship was wrenched
off and left in the side of the Columbia
The latter vessel laid to until the Fos-
cola sank and then took aboard the
Foscolia's crew. No lives were lost. The
Foscolia's captain says he was blowing
his fog whistle but did not hear the
Columbia's, nor see her until they were
too close to avoid a collision, although
he was going full speed astern.
