Havana, April 25.-The blockade OF
this harbor by the North Atlantic
souadron is complete, but no lombard
ment of the city has yet begun, al
though the provocation has been sufi-
cient to warrant 1t.
At IL D. m. Saturday Moro castle
fired 10 shots at the squadron at dis
lance of about five miles, but as there
are no gunners in the castle no harm
was done and the shots were not re-
sponded to.
Again Sunday morning, when the
sauadron came in closer, the batteries
were opened on the ships, but without
effect, and the shots were not answered
by the master gunners of the feet.
So far no naval engagement has
taken place for the reason that Spain
has no warships on this side of the At
lantic. and 1t is considered doubtful
whether she will send any unless she
can form an alliance with some other
power.
But with the powerful English and
Japanese navies apparently at the beck
and call of the United States, 1t is not
considered very probable that any 9TH
err European power will care to fire the
fuse which would probably involve the
entire civilized world in war.
It is not believed the American feet
will remain silent much longer under
the castles fire, and when they do turn
their terrible monsters loose every one
here expects to see the ancient FORTH
cations tumble like toy block house
and the dons flee in disorder.
The entire blockade line stretches
for about 12o miles-from Mariet, go
miles west of Havana, to Cardenas, so
miles east of the beleaguered city.
The ships are mostly separated by
several miles of water, making for
midable semi-circle around Ell MORO.
