Cape Haytien. June 8. $40 p. NIT Is
reported here that q great battle has
taken place at Caimanera. in the Bay of
Guantanamo. At $3.50 o'clock .yester-
day Tuesday, morning five ships Of the
American squadron opened a heavy
bombardment OF the fortincations of
the town. There was a perfect hail of
bombs in the bay. striking and demol-
ishing many houses beyond the fortifi-
cations. On the Spanish side the artil-
lery replied vigorously. maintaining for
some time a stiff resistance. The fire
from the warships, however. never
slackened for an instant. 1t was regular
and carefully directed and a great ma
jority of the shots proved effective. The
Spanish were forced to abandon their
positions on the shore and retreat to the
town of Cairmanera proper. 1t is sup
posed that later they fled from this po-
sition also with the inhabitants. Infor-
nation reached here that the Spanish at
Santiago and Caimanera are preparing
for final desperate struggle and are
determined to resist the assaults Of the
Americans to the last extremity
The commander of the district issued
an order yesterday to burn Caimanera
before yielding 1t into the hands OF the
Americans. The latter forced entrance
into the bay of Guantanamo, and from
latest advices it was feared the Ameri-
cans would make an effort to land
forces this "wednesday afternoon
measures to prevent this. IL possible,
have been taken by the Spanish. The
American feet was still maintaining
its position.
Gable communication with Cuba,
which has been interrupted for many
hours. was partially restored this af-
ternoon. but ii is still difficult and pre-
carious. The report of the lombard
ment at Caimanera came by cable.
The bombardment destroyed a little
house which sheltered the shore con-
nection Of the French cable at Caiman-
era, though whether by the explosion of
the bombs from the water or by ex-
plosives used by a party sent for that
purpose. it is not known. The cables
uniting the main cable with the Office
at Caimanera and the town Of Caim-
anera with Santiago were cut, thus ac-
counting for the prolonged absence Of
intelligence here Of the operations in
that vicinity. 1t is also believed the
cable at Santiago is cut, as no direct
news from Santiago has been re-
ceived at Cape Haytien since Monday
at midnight.
s:15 p. m.-Even before the cables in
bay had been injured so
that they could not be worked. the
operators at. the Caimanera station
were foced to flee by the fire from the
ships. Up to this hour, s:15 p. m. there
has been no direct cable communica-
tion from Santiago since Monday at
midnight.

the blow contemplated. II was plainly
stated by a cabinet member after the
meeting at noon that the postponement
Of the expedition, which had not been
great, was altogether attributable to the

the cars at Tampa.

after the Santiago movement this expe-

after the departure Of the Santiago
party.
There is some probability that Major

that he would prefer to wait until the

ment it is answered to this that the
