MESSENGERS FROM CUBA
Bring Important Dispatches for The
Cuban Janta ia New York.
TO SEA IN AN OPEN BOAT
We're Out Three Days Before
Being Picked Up.
SUFFERING IN HAVANA AND CARDENAS

Key West, Fla, June 20-l0. 10 q. m.
"A vessel arrived here from the block
ade this morning and reported all quiet
along the line. She brought an officer
OF the Cuban army and pilot who ARE
carrying important dispatches to Senior
Estrada Palma of the Cuban Junta,
from Gen. Alexandra Rodriguez, the
insurgent commander of Havana
Province.
The Cubans were taken aboard on
Saturday last from an auxiliary gun
boat which had picked them up This
messengers of Gen. Rodriguez gave a
very interesting account of their expe
riences. After leaving the insurgent
camp they made their way into the city
of Havana, spent several days there,
proceeded to ono of the small inlets in
the neighborhood, and stole small
huat and rowed out to sea in the hope
of coming across an American vessel.
They we're three days in the boat before
they were picked up. The Cubans re-
port that there are no supplies of rice,
maize, potatoes or eggs in Havana.
Flour, they say, costs 80 cents per
pound and the army has been placed
on half rationa.
The messengers clasa as false tho re-
ports that vessels have succeeded in
| entering Havana with supplies. They
assert that since the blockade began
only three small fishing vessels have
entered the harbor, and that no food
uhutBver is received from Oienfuegos
The CuEans confirm the reports that
| work on the defences of Havana ia
proceeding STEADILY. Two lines of tor
pedoes extend across the mouth OF the
harbor, which ia said 10 be further
protected by two automobile torpedoes,
one at each side, dischargsable by
pressing button. The only war ves-
sells in the harbor OF Havana are small
gunhQats aad the lfonsu XII.
An auxiliary gunboat off Cardenas
has been visited by Cuban officer
from the shore. who reported that place
to he effectively besiegsd by tim in
surgents on land and by the warships
in front. lie madp the statement that
in two weeks time the whole pUpula-
ton of Cardenas will he starving. The
| Cuban officer has his father and wife
in Cardenas and he was concerned for
them. He described the people as liv-
ing on palm buds and dog meat, which
he claimed, is considered delcacy.
The vessel which arrived here TO. day
has been patrolling regular beat the
Cuban cast, just like policeman, -
going back and forth during tho day
and night. Sometimes she saw Spanish
troops moving about, but on the whole
the blockade was uneventful.

Guantanamo Bay, June To- How
ever unpleasant the experiences or
uniustified by precedent, the landing of
small detachment OF marines, mostly
raw men, In the enemy's country has
taught some lessons to the officers and
men here, and possibly also to the au
thoriries at Washington.
1t has shown the Spaniards to be
daring bush. Fighters and it has proved
that every American camp must he
compactly built and as we'll protected
to resist night attacks as though in The
ApachB country. 1t mas developed sew
eral small defects in the navy guna
under service conditions and it has
shown that. given free rein with re-
peating rifles, 500 nervous troops can
waste 10000 rounds of ammunition in
killing shadows, in a single night, and
not think even then that they have
done much shooting.
Though the 16 dead Spaniards found
by Lieut.. Neville's men wore regular
uniforms, most Of those seen in the
daylight attacks wore scarcely anything
but big plantain leaves hound around
their foreheads in lieu OF hats. This
acted us an effective disguise in the
bush. Others stripped to pair of dirt
colored trousers. tied branches around
their waists, reaching shoulders high,
and moving very cautiously they could
even cross open ground without being
detscted. though some of them were
caught at the game.
Another trick was to make a moving
screen of two or three big palm leaves,
almost impossible TO detect where
strntsd palm everywhere rises out of
the chapparal.
The Cuban auxiliaries were most
Useful in pointing out these tricks.
There are GO of these men now in camp,
mostly negroes with Cuban officers.
They are hawk eyed woodsmen, break

device of bush craft. The American
marines. at first. we're inclined TO dis
count this. But this morning they
spoke enth usiastcally of the auxili6ries
for their daring. At night, in skirmish

their reckless handling of the new
