DELAYING THE NEWS.
A Quarantine Has Been Established mt
Kingston, jamaica.


Port Antonio. Jamaica. July 2, via
Kingston, Jamaica, July 2.-Action has
been by the Jamaica authorities
which will interfere seriously with the
work of the American newspaper dis
patch boats running between the coast
of Cuba and Port Antonio, the nearest
point from which news regarding the
events transpiring at the seat of war
can be cabled.
The quarantine board of Kingston
has issued an order that these boats
must not be entered or cleared from
Port antonio without permission from
the board, but must go into quarantine
until after investigation. This will de-
tain the boats here several hours, and
in some cases a day or two. and possi-
bly, longer. 1t is hoped. however, that
the quarantine officials may be induced
to show clemency in this matter.
The only direct communication with
Cuba is by the recently established line
at Guantanamo and Juragua, which
runs to the United States via Hayti.
but his line is used exclusively in
carrying official dispatches between the
army n navy representatives at
Washington, n only the most meager
press kilograms can be sent over IL.
IL the Jamaican authorities enforce
h quarantine regulations strictly
against newspaper boats, which are
maintained at great effort and expense,
Jamaica will have to be abandoned as
a point of filing dispatches. and the
public of the United States and other
countries will receive a greatly delayed
service of news regarding the progress
of the war.

tails Of the attack on Santiago de Cuba,

port that no reinforcements have reach

extreme brevities of the Spanish adj
vices. leaving all Europe at the mercy
of American e~xaggerations."
The papers seem to believe that a de-
cisive game is being played around San
tiago, and that the fall of that city can
not fail to affect the very existence OF
the government here. but thus far per-
feet tranquility prevails. The Madrid

of the three torpedo boat destroyers and
the two coal laden transatlantic steam

Said, and nue. indignation Is expressed
at the time lost by Camara's beet In
Egyptian waters. The minister for for

with in Egypt were due to the represen-
tations of the American consul against
the duration of the squadron's stay and
the purchase Of coal. The passage OF
the canal, the minister explained, could
not present any difficulty.

The insurgents have invested the city
pretty completely on the landward side,

American ships and men are in good

is widely held here that they have
stopped for a few days on their way to
