BlancO Knows Our Actions

Special Dispatch to The SUN.
New York, June 1.-THE Evening Sun
prints the following special under to-
days date from Madrid:-
In an interview last evening member
of the Ministry declared that the Gov
erhment did not believe that the Tampa
expedition to Cuba had sailed from the
American coast. The movements OF
the American ships and troops, he said,
were well known to Captain-General
Blanco.
Admiral Cervera telegraphs that all
are we'll on board the ships of his squad
ron, which are still located at Santiago.
He says that his supplies of stores and
provisions are sufficient to last several
months.
General Linares reports similar con-
dition of affairs among his troops.
The report of the surrender of Manila
is discredited here. 1t is believed that
the marine infantry at Cavite has joined
the forces of General Mouet, which are
supposed to be operating in the rear OF
the insurgents, who are besieging Manila.
A dispatch from Havana says that the
batteries there shelled the United States
cruiser Montgomery, which approached
inside the line of range. The dispatch
says that eleven American ships are now
bockading Havana.

KEY WEST, Fla, June l7.-Lieutenant
Colonel Arnao, who is enroute to New
York with news for the ,Iunta, is the
chief of staff of General Pedro Diaz, COM
manding the Cuban forces in the prov,
ince of Pinar del Rio. and who fought
with Maceo in many of that leaders,
great engagements in the West OF Cuba,
He is about fifty years of age.
tle says that Immediately after war
was declared the Spanish guerilas in
Pinar del Rio province went through
the country districts bptchering the
pacifcos, women, children and old men,
whose bodies lie in the roads and fields,
unburied to this day. =.
NIaceo's army OF invasion was well
mounted but the horses have been
killed off until very few remain. The
country, however, is too mountainous
for the best results from cavalry.
The insurgents have been badly off Tor
ammunition, and in one case, where a
supply was obtained by ambushing a
company Of Spanish Infantry the Cubans
begun the attack with a single cartridge
and continued the battle by stripping the
bodies of the Spaniards.
Le"tenant-C Colonel Arnao says there
are lG,JOO Spaniards in the province, but
that Spain is Withdrawing her soldiers
to Havana. The insurgents hold the
north coast of the province from Bahia
Honda to Cape Antonio. They also hold
the entire south coast. He knows the
country we'll, having accompanied Gen,
eral Maximo Gomez and the late General
Maceo in their famous raids from the
east province to Pinar del Rio.
The insurgents control now all the ter
ritory occupied by Maceo, and have ex-
tended their operations to regions never
reached by him. His mountain for
tressses have never been wrested from
the Cubans. General Diaz's troops live
on sweet potatoes and beef the year
round. and are very tired Of the diet.
Maceos potato farms have been kept in
cultivation, and in the hills in the south.
ern part of the province are herds OF
cattle, guarded by men specially as
signed to this duty.
The Spanish attempts to capture these
cattle have been repeatedly defeated.
Colonel Arnao lad eggs last evening for
the first time in seventeen months, and
he ate them like a starving man.

The most severe and important battle

klmost forcing the entrance to the city.
The insurgents under General Aguin-

have fled to the ships.
Admiral Montojo and Governor-Gen-

Governor General Augusti is reported
to be willing to surrender to the Ameri.

from capturing the capital, setting it on
fire, and killing the Spaniards. The
Archbishop, however, is opposed to
surrender, and has overruled August.

Big Guns Batter Santiago.
'pe cial Dispatch to THE Sun.

Spe cial Dispatch to The Sun.
OFF SANTIAGO, June T.-Admiral
SIMPSONS feet shelIed the forts at the
entrance of Santiago harbor soon after
daylight yesterday morning, and silenced
lively fusllade lasting about one hour.
The order for the engagement was sent
about among the ships of his fleet by the
Admiral on Wednesday night. At day
light they began to close in toward the
entrance to the harbor, and when they
were within ltss than mile they formed
in a crescent, with the battleships in the
centre. the flagship New York at the
right and the Massachusetts at the left.
The New York opened the ball, firing
the first gun. In moment all the ships
were popping away with their big and
little guns. Most of the fire was di-
rected at the batteries on the western
side of the ha"por. The Spaniards re-
turned the fire furously, but, as usual,
their craftsmanship was wretched, and,
as far as has been learned up to the
present time, the United States ships
escaped unhurt, and not a man of their
officers or crew was injured.
While Rear-Admiral Sampson, on the
bridge Of the flagship New York, watched
the bombardment he saw two guns OF
the eastern battery apparently in posi-
ton. He stopped the New York as she
was going back to her blockading posi-
tlon, and personally directed the firing
OF the eight-inch guns at those marks.
IN the admiraPs general orders for the
bombardment occurs the following par
agraph:
Fire will be deliberate, and after the
batteries are sllenced, it will be carefully
directed to their. destruction. Ammuni-
ttion will not be thrown away. Careful
instructions will bs given to the gun cap
tains not to fire unless they can see their
mark, which in this case will be the
enemy's guns"
These instructions were SO well carried
out that Admiral Sampson, after the
bombardment, said: 81 do not believe
there is much lett of the western battery.
tgot a great hammering. The eastern
notifications were harder to hit. | think
some Of the guns we see there are
Quakers
II wish Hobson and his fellows were
not in Moro Castle. We would knock,
that down were it not for that reason. /
suppose the Spaniards deserted their
guns soon after our fire opened. 1t
would not do them any good TO stay
there"
lit be true that ships guns have been
