EXODUS Continues by Night-Meat a

SANTIAGO DE CUBA. April q. via
steamer Remus; filed at Port Antonio.
Jamaica, April 2S-Don Arsenso Linares
Pombo, Commandant- General OF this di-
vision of Cuba. proclaimed four days ago
that every man between 10 and 80 years
or age must enroll that night with the
volunteers for military service. under
penalty OF arrest, and military trial and
death.
Senior Chucho Manduley, Magistrate Of
the High Court of Santiago, and known
as an intense Spanish sympathizer, one
or the most prominent in the city, left
for the camp of the Cuban brigadier-
general. Cavalos. He was accompanied
by several kinsmen, and his going pro-
duced a vivid impression.
The exodus from the city has continued
by night, the Spaniards making no Oppo-
sition, except that few men have been
arrested as examples. Five thousand
persons have left for the country since
the proclamation. four fifths being wo-
men and children.
The Spanish soldiery now assume
bullying attitude. and threaten to kill
every Cuban man and assault every
Cuban woman left in the city when the
blockade begins.
When the American feet appears. as it
is daily expected to do, all the non-com-
batants will be expelled
FOOD PRICES DOUBLING DAILY.
Though the Governor of the city, En-
rique Capriles, has seized for the govern
ment all the large store Of food in pri-
waite hands, many shops still do business,
with small stocks, the prices doubling
day by day. Monday meat was 40 cents
pound. Tuesday 10 cents. and to-day 1t
is dollar pound. Other prices in
gold to-day are: Rice. q cents pound ;
beans. 2l; flour. 10, and lard 49, Chickens
are $3.50 apiece.
The Governor announced to-day, to
quiet public alarm. that a ship loaded
with provisions was expected but when
asked where from, and her name. no,
body knew. The story Is not believed.
The Spanish soldiers, especially the
sick, are abominably fed.
A new battery has been erected at the
west harbor entrance, with four rapid
fire guns. and. this correspondent hears,
ten or twelve more rapid-fre, small-caii
bre guns will be mounted on Moro and
the east-side battery. The Moro fort
has at least fifty ancient brass cannon,
marked 1894.
There are reports about torpedoes in the
channel and harbor. but they are con-
fusing. Preparations have certainly
been made to lay torpedoes but whether
the laying has been actually done is not
known. Strong floating mines are ready
to be placed.
The military authorities seem to have
little control Of the soldiers and the dis
orderly elements.
SILVER AT as PER CENT. PREMIUM
Spanish silver is at IS per cent. premium
The bank-notes issued by the govern

worthless, and sometimes pass for TO

OLD POINT COMFORT, VA, April 3d.
The periodicals OF the flying squadron
did active work last night, at the entrance
TO Hampton Roads, and no vessels were
allowed to approach the squadron after
dark. The patrol from the Texas stopped
a tug with a tow trying 10 run 1t about
o'clock 1t proved to be the llghtship
from Cape Charles, which broke from her
anchorage in the two-days' storm, ana
drfted out to sea- Permission was Sc
cured from the army officials to pass the
boats through the lines Of torpedoes.
The lightship people reported having
had very rough time. but the vessel is
not very badly damaged. 1t is improbable
that she will be anchored again near the
Capes, for the reason that the govern
ment has decided that after May LIST the
lightships shall be removed, SO as not
to be of use to an enemy.
The collier Merrimac arrived last night
from Newport News, and reported TO
Flag-Iieutenant Sears that her orders
were to proceed to Key West. She was
given the necessary permission, and this
morning passed out to sea, under Com
mander Miller. She is very fast, and Will

Drummer. formerly United states SAM
tary Inspector at Habana, has just re-
turned from Washington. where he went
to place valuable information in the
hands Of the surgeon-general, General
Miles, and the War Department.
DR.. Drummer, while in Habana, for the
sum of s. 30 a month. obtained the origi-

tary hospitals. These reports are now
in the possession OF Surgeon-General
Wyman. They show. DIR. Drummer states.
that there were in the Spanish hospitals
daily, out OF the army OF ll0pW men,
from 5000 to $1,000 soldiers.
UNSANITARY CONDITIONS.
The unsanitary conditions surrounding
the men and the insufficient medical at
tendance, with q lack OF good FOOD, are
responsible for these facts, he says.
DR. Brunner also secured in the same
way information about all OF the coast
fortifications around Habana, and per-
sonally saw planted most OF the subma-

SPANS WAR FUND.
The Greatest Efforts Being Made
To Increase Ii.

MADRID, April 80 Noon.-The greatest
efforts are being made here and through
out the country, TO increase the national
war fund. It is proposed. for instance,
to have tables, ornamented with the ma
tional colors. at all the Madrid churches
throughout the month of May. These
tables will be attended by society ladies'
whose names and the amounts they col
lect for the fund, will be published In
the newspapers.
The traditional festival OF May I'd, In
honor of Diego Velasquez. will be cele-
brated at the monument In the Prado'
where appropriate services will be held,
accompanied by artillery salutes.
The Spanish Colony in Mexico teie-
graphs that, besides contributing war
ship, subscription Is being made In aid
OF the national fund TO increase the
strength Of the Spanish navy, and that
100000 pesetas G360.0o0) have already been
collected.
1t Is pointed out here that since Ger
many has made no declaration OF neu-
trality, German factories are not pre-
cluded from supplying Spain with war
materials.
1t is reported that the Spanish Govern
ment has purchased two foreign war
ships, but no details regarding the newly
acquired vessels are obtainable.

DEwEY's TASK DIFFICULT.
Manila Strongly FOrtifed-It VIII
Probably lie BlOckaded.

HONGKONG. April 30. 2:3o Z. M-If
the reports which are current here are
correct. the United States feet has a
difficult task to accomplish. 1t Is said
that the entrance of Manila Bay Is COM
manded by from fifty to sixty heavy
guns, well placed. and, It Is added. that
1t will be impossible for the American
warships to enter the bay without the
cooperation of strong land force.
Therefore, IT is believed that Commodore
Dewey will not attempt to force an en-
trance into the harbor. but will blockade
the port until the insurgents move on
Manila.
Agents Of the insurgents here are try
Ing to charter a steamer. In expectation
of being able to transport a force of in
surgents to the vicinity Of Manila Bay.
The cable to Manila is still intact, but
the transmission Of news regarding mill
tary or naval movements in the Philip
pine Islands Is barred.
The British warships and torpedo-boats
at Hongkong have been forbidden to
commence fresh repairs, which would
seem to indicate the possibility of move
ment H. the near future upon the part
of the British feet.
