Key West, Fla, June 10. "A promi-
nent resident OF Havana, who left that
place on the 9th instant, arrived here
yesterday an his way 10 New York.
His description OF tho situation in
Havana MT tho time he laft contradicts
widespread reports of famine and suffer
ing in that city, and throws new light
on the effectiveness Of the blockade.
which il appears, fails in its purpust
as far as cutting off all means of sup.
plies und communication with the out
side world is concerned.
His story is entitled to full cradence
and consideration. coming as it does
from one Of the leading merchants of
Havana, foreign resident unbiased in
his We've or sympathies. He reports,
10 the FIRST place. that Havana Ia prau-
tically an open port, as IL Ia not block
aued on its southern approach. Data
bano, on the south side, is only 40
miles from Havana, with which city it
is connected by rail. I'atahano has
never been more than shipping point
ard headquarters for the sponge fish
eries of Southern Cuba and landing
place for the Isle of Pines fcrryhoats,
which there connect with the north
bound trains FOR Havana.
Tha water between Batabano and the
Isle of Pines being very shallow, no
whore exceeding nine feet in depth and
therefore inaccessible tn my large
craft, has caused the Isle of Pines to
be overlooked az a posBible entrepot or
base Of supplles for Western Cuba, and
as n point deserving of greater consid-
GRAFTON than that attaching to it az a
tifth-rat and mismanaged penal colony.
IL hnnaunp Tint
stant traffic haH been kept up between
the Isis of Pines and the Yucatan
coast, and that full cRrgoes Of pro-
visions and live stock have been regu-
larry landed there from steamers,
schooners and other sailing Vessels un
molested by American war ships, which
rarely, II ever, patrol those waters.
The work Of transhipping thnse car.
goes to Batabano on the fiat bottom
ferryboats constantly plying between
that port and Neuva Grerona, the prin-
cipnl port of the Isle Of Pines, has of
course been an easy mutter, as is also
their subsequent transportation to
Havana by rail.
In the first four days of June. il 10
assorted, over 500 head OF cattle were
landed at Batabano, besides large
quantities OF flour and grain. Not only
are the shipments not limited to sup
plisH OF provisions and the necessaries
OF life, hut our informant reports that
coul In large quantities is also brought
over. This statement practically con-
firms the reports that the Spanish gov
ment has established large coal do
pots ON the Yucatan coast. At tho
outbreak of hostilities it was reported
that Havana had sufficient reserve sup /,
plies in store to last ak months. SINGS
then. it is asserted, fresh shipments
have been received by way Of Batabane
and the Isle of PineH far in excess OF
the consumption, so that apparently.
80 far from suffering from the evils at
tendant upon the blockade, Havana mas
kept on in the even tenor of an un
ruilled existence with sufficient stores
on hand TO last another half year.
