SANTIAGO'S CABLE CUT.
Spaniards Can No Longer ComInuuI-
cate with Havana.

Playa del Este, Guantanamo Bay. July

Hornet and Wampatuck yesterday morn
ing tMondayD while off Santa Cruz. sue
ceeded in cutting the cable connecting Ha-
vana with Santiago. via Cienfuegos, Trini-
dad, Tunas and Manzanillo.
Under cover of night Captain Young went
in, facing superior forces, and located the
landing place OF the cable. He remained in
hiding until daybreak. and then cut the ca
bic fifteen miles southeast of Santa Cruz,
in ten fathoms of wafer
Then he cut of 100 feet Of the strand,
and towed the ends in opposite directions,
each for couple Of miles.
The Strict Quarantine.
The known presence of yellow fever at
Caimanera, Guantanamo and other towns
in the vicinity of Camp McCalla, aud along
the coast has resulted in the establishment
OF the strictest quarantine.
Hereafter communication Will be al
lowed with the north side of the hay and
no one will be permitted to land from ves-
sells entering the harbor here without a
special permit from the commanding off,
Ger.
This may result in considerable incon-
Nenlence TO the newspaper dispatch boats
1t also cuts off communication Aith the
insurgent forces around Guantanamo, un-
der the command of General Perez, and the
regiment of Colonel Tomas.
The rules will also be rigtdy eafcrced at
Camp McCalla, although tho general health
Of the American marines is remarkably
good.
The Spaniards i'm and around Caimanera
have been showing great activity during
the last two or three days, and their forces
there have apparently been Increased from
Guantanamo. The boldness of the Ameri-
can launches in Venturing up beyond the
port and the presence OF a large number OF
warships in the lower bay have evidently
led the Spaniards to believe that an attack
is planned at that point.
The oregOn's Firing.
Some idea of the awful rain of shells
poured into the doomed Spanish squadron
on the morning Of July by the pursuing
American warships may be gained from
the number of shots fired from the battle
ship Oregon This number also bears out
the statement of the Spanish officers that
it was the fire from the second batteries
that drove their men from their guns and
forced the ships to beach.
From the time when Private O'Shay OF
the battle ship Oregon fired the first shot
from her forward sX-pounder, until the
Critobal Colon turned toward the shore,
the Oregon fired .116 shells. OF these
1910 were from her six-pounders The big
thirteen-inch gu1s We're fired thirty-four
times the esght-iuch guns twenty-eight
times and the siX-inch twenty-four times.
The one-pounders were fired twenty times.
shots was fearful. One eight-inch shell,
which penetrated the turret of the Almi-
rante OqueEdo, exploded and killed every
person inside, blowing some TO pieces.

day the 1st Illinois, Sth Ohio and 1st Dis
trict OF Columbia regiments, which arrived
yesterday, Were rushed to the front, and
by making forced marches reached the posi-
tions to the west of the city at O'Clock
and began throwing up breastworks and
digging trenches. By nightfall their work:
We're as secure as those facing the enemy

Torrents of rain fell last night, drowning

HEAP FIGHT ON LAND

LOCATING GOLD CLAIMS
In the WiChitaS--ViSit Of Con-
gresham Stevens.

Captain I. c. Price of South Emporia
avenue, who knows all about the Wichita
mountains and the probability of finding
gold there, has made another recent trip
through the Comanche reservation. He
says the Indians are greatly interested
in the war news and dispatches from
Washington, and the miners are in much
better situation than a year ago. He
said to the Eagle yesterday:
Il was surprised 10 find the native In
dian anxious to hear the war news from
Spain. They seem to understand the sit
uation. One intelligent buck inquired
about the war news, and when told that
the great father al Washington contem-
plated sending nothing but negroes and
Indians to whip Spain he shrugged his
shoulders, uttered an indescribabIe grunt
and said: Indian no good on big water,
but heap fight on land Drawing his
blanket firmly about his body he passed
into his tepee to think it over.
"One year has wrought a wonderful
change in the mining interests Of the
Wichita mountains. The wild-eyed BOOM
ers are relegated to the rear. The fake
machines for testing are no longer in
use. We hear no more Of rich finds and
extravagant assays. The miners now en-
gagged in prospecting are of a different
class Discreet men of practical expe-
rience secure and cover up the richest
discoveries until such time as congress
gives them the right to develop their
claims.
Congressman Stevens has made three
trips through the Wichita mountains at
the express solicitation of the best miners
In the Territory. On his last trip he went
back prepared TO lay rich specimens Of
