The officials are making all possible

It is confidently hoped that the City
of Peking, chartered as transport
vessel, will be able to clear from San
francisco in very short time, to be
followed In rapid succession by the
other three ships engaged for similar
purpose. The Peking can carry 1000
men, which, with the marines aboard

pedition and subsequently to be made

least which can maintain order in a
city like Manila, made up of many
dscordant elements.
Secretary Long, in addition to the
dispatch from Admiral Dewey. au-
thorized the publication of the state
ment that the torpedo boat Terror,
belonging to the Spanish fleet, was dis
abled at Port of France, Martinique.
There was disposition among some
of those who saw this statement to re-
gard it with suspicion, suggesting that
the report of disability was intended
simply as blind, and that the Span
ish government had caused it to be
spread so that no complaint could be
made to France on account of the stay
of the boat at a neutral point. None
of the officials. however, would express
themselves on the subject.
Secretary Long also made public
message which had been received from
Key West telling Of the departure Of
the United States vessel Uncas, in COM
mand of Captain Brainard. She is
bound for some point in Cuba, with
view of securing the release of two
American prisoners in exchange for
Spanish prisoners held by this govern
ment.

STARVING TO DEATH.
Piiful Condition of Reconcentrados in Cuba,
Who Have Been Driven From
Havana to Die,

Key West. Fla, May 16.-The condi-
tions In Havana resulting from the
blockade are being gradually brought
!. out by the information obtained from
:. fishing smacks and other small vessels
captured off the coast.
j., Affairs at Havana now appear to be
worse than at any time since the war
: regime. The fishermen who at first
braved the blockade for the high price
which fish brought in Havana now run
the risk not for money, but for the
food which they obtain from the sea.
A number of these men have been cap
tured at different times by various ves-
sells of the blockading fleet nearly all
of them being released after having
been questioned by our officers. They
all unite in picturing the state of
things at Havana as being pitiful in
the extreme.
The United States gunboat Machias
has just returned here for the
first time since the blockade opened,
making the longest single service OF
any vessel off Cuba. The Machias
caught two fishing boats off Havana
just before her, return here. The
Americans offered the fishermen money
for part of their catch, as the fish was
needed on board. But the fishermen
demurred at taking money, saying they
preferred to have bread, and adding
that they were desperately hungry.
When questioned as to the preva-
lence of yellow fever at Havana, the
fishermen said there was little sick
ness at the Cuban capital, but, they
added, there was much starvation. The
reconcentrados, they said, are nearly
all dead, or have been expelled from the
city to die on the outskirts. This
agrees with other reports from Havana
and Matanzas to the effect that the
Spanish authorities, on the departure
of the American consul, seized all the
relief supplies and applied them to the
uses Of the army. The Spaniards then
drove the reconcentrados into the DESC
lated sections Of the country, between
the coast towns and the insurgent
lines, the regions described by Senator
Proctor and others as being too barren
and desolate to support ,grasshoppers
The insurgents themselves have been
chary of receiving reconcentrados and
hundreds of the latter who had no per-
sonal friends in the insurgent camps
had been left to starve to death be-
tween the lines.
About Havana the situation Is even
worse. Hundreds of reconcentrados
from Los Fosas, the big reconcentrado
barracks in Havana, were too weak to
walk out of town and fell in the streets
or died in the suburbs, where focks of
vultures feasted on the remains.
In Matanzas this feature of the sit
uation is equally distressing.
The fishermen who have been brought
here are mostly soon reconcled to cap
ture, which means food and decent
treatment.

London, May 16.-The Hong Kong
correspondent of The Standard says:
"After the Callao's crew were landed
In Manila they were released on parole
and the Callao was paradcd in full
view of the city, accompanied by the
DBttcd States cruiser Concord. When
Mr. Williams, the American consul,
landed at Cavitc last week he was re-
ceived with great enthusiasm and fol-
lowed through the streets by crowd
Of 1000 people, shouting Viva Los
Ameri"anos.' There were no signs that
the Spanish authorities in Manila were
prepared to capitulatn. All the Span
ish inhabitants and many British
man families have sought safety in the
suburbs, taking all their belongings. In
the buginess quarters the buildings are
covered with foreign flags, the British
predoninatins, with view of protec-
tipn should the insurgents capture the
city"

GUSSIE'S EXPEDITION FAILED.
Made Two Attempts to Land Her
Arms and Ammunition.

Key West, Fla, May 16.-The steamer
Gussie, which left Tampa, Fla, on May
10 with two companies Of the First
infantry on board, in charge Of 1000
rifles and 200, 900 rounds of ammunition,
intended for the insurgents in the Prov
nce Of Pinar del Rio, remained off the
coast Of Cuba Thursday, Friday and
Saturday, conveyed by the auxiliary
gunboat Manning, in a vain attempt
to land her cargo. Captain ]. II. Dorst,
OF the staff of General Miles. and for
merly United States military attache
at Vienna, headed the expedition, which
returned here yesterday. Her COM
mander, who appeared to be much crest
fallen at having failed TO accomplish
the mission entrusted to him, refused
to discuss the matter beyond admit
ting the failure, and saying that the
Gussie will return TO Tampa, Fla.
AS previously reported. the Dorst eX-
poditionary force had a skirmish with
Spanish cavalry near Cabanps Is miles
west of Havana. where an attempt was
made to land part of the cargo, Satur-
