the Spanish Soldiers In Havana Are suf-

worth FIFTY Cents a Pound.

Key WEST, Fla, June 2l.-A vessel
arrived here from the blockade Mon
day morning and reported all quiet
along the line. She brought an officer
| of the Cuban army and a 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 on board on
Saturday last from an auxiliary gun
boat which had picked them up The
messengers of Gen. Rodriguez gave
very interesting account of their ex-
periences. After leaving the insur-
| gent camp they made their way into
| the city OF uavena, spent several days
there, proceeded to one of the small
fnlets in the neighborhood, stole a
| small boat and rowed out to sea in the
hope of coming across an American
vessel. They were three days in the
boat before they were picked up.
The Cubans report that there are no
supplies of rice, maize, potatoes or
eggs in Havana. Flour, they say, is
bQcents per pound and the army has
been placed on half rations
The messengers class as false that
vessels have succeeded in entering
Havana harbor with supplies They
assert that since the blockade began
only three small fishing vessels have
entered the harbor and that no food |
whatever is received from Cienfuegos. |
The Cubans confirm the reports that |
work on the defences of Havana is |
proceeding steadily. Two lines of tor
pedoes extend across the mouth of the |
