Their Position.
(Convrlght, 1S9S The Associated Press.)
Cape Haytien, Hayti, June Sit Is
reported here that a great battle has
taken place at Caimanera on the bay
of Guantanamo. At $50 yesterday
morning (Tuesday) five ships If the
American squadron opened a bonn
bardment of the fortlfications Of the
town. On the Spanish side the artillery
replied vigorously, maintaining for
some time stout resistance. The fire
from the warships, however, never
slackened for an instant. 1t was reg
ular and carefully directed, and great
majority of the shots proved effective.
The Spaniards were forced to aban-
don their positions on the shore and set
out for the town. 1t is supposed that
later they fled from that position also,
with the inhabitants. Information has
reached here that the Spanish at San
tiago and Caimanera are preparing for
a final desperate struggle and are de-
ternined to resist the assaults of the
Americans to the last extremity. The
commander of the district issued or
ders yesterday to burn Caimanera be-
fore yielding 1t into American hands.
Measures to prevent the Americans
landing have been taken by the Span
iards. The American fleet was still
maintaining it's position.
Gable communication with Cuba was
partially restored this afternoon, but
it is still difficult and precarious. The
report of the bombardment at Caima-
nera came by cable. The lombard
ment destroyed little house which
sheltered the shore connection of the
French cable at Caimanera, though
whether by the explosion of bombs
from the water or by explosives used
by a party sent for that purpose Is not
known. The cables uniting the mair
cable with the office at Caimanera and
| the town of Caimanera with Santiago
were cut, thus accounting for the pro-
| longed absence of intelligence here as
| to operations in that vicinity. 1t is
also believed that the cable at Santa
go Is cut, as no direct news from San
tago has yet been received at Cape
Haytien since Monday at midnight
Even before the cables in Guantanamo
bay had been injured so that they coult
not be worked the operators at Caima-
| nera station were forced to flee by the
! fire from the American warships.

MYSTERIOUS FRENoH CABLE.
After Being Cut 1T Inexplicably Resumes
Work-Matter Complicated.

After Being Sut
Work-Matter Complicated.
Washington, June S.-There is con-
siderable mystery concerning the cut
ting Of cables running out of Cuba and
the continuance of cable service from
that island 1t was positively estab-
lished to-day that the. French cable
running from Santiago to Cape Hay
tien went out of service last Friday
and remained so until Monday. There
is little DOUBT that the interruption
was due to the work Of the cable-cut-
ting ship sent out by General Greedy
and in charge of signal service officers.
But the mystery of the affair Is that
the French cable began working again
on Monday. How this came about is
beyond explanation by the best cable
experts. The French cable company is
as much in the dark on this point as
are the authorities here.
All that the company knows is that
it could not do business from the Sd to
the 4th inst. 1t is apparent that the
cable was not cut, else it could not have
resumed service AT the same time
nothing short of a cutting can account
for the Gripping of the cable on the Sd.
The matter is complicated by reports
reaching the officials here to-day that
the cable stopped working at midnight
on Monday. The condition of this cable
is regarded as important by the author
tiles, as it is one of the means open to
General Blanco in his communication
with the Spanish authorities.

Disposal.
Madrid, June S.-The following COM
munication from Captain General
August, dated at Manila, June 3, has
been published: "The situation is very
grave Aguinaldo has succeeded in
stirring up the country and the tele-
I am without communication with the
provinces. The province of Cavite has
completely rebelled; and the towns and
villages are occupied by numerous
armed bands. A Spanish column de-
fends the Seapote line to prevent the
enemy invading the province of Man
lila; but the foe has entered through
Bulacan, Lagina and Moron, so that
Manila will thus be attacked by land
and sea.
81 am striving to raise the courage Of
the inhabitants and will exhaust every
means of resistance; but I distrust the
natives and the volunteers because
there have already been many deser-
tions. Baccor and linus have already
been seized by the enemy. The insur-
rection has reached great proportions
and If j cannot count upon the sup
port of the country, the forces at my
disposal will not suffice to hold the
ground against two enemies. General
Correa, minister of war. and Captain
Aunon, minister of marine, have gone
to the palace to confer with the queen
regent as to General Augustus mes
sage.
A member of the government whose
name cannot be used admitted that the
Spanish troops to the Philippine
islands could not change the situation.
He said: We could send six thousand
troops, but if the natives are against
us such force would be inadquate.
If they We're with us it would not be
necessary to send troops to the Philip
pines"
Later-It is rumored that the Span
ish garrison at Manila, rather than be
massacred by the insurgents, prefers to
yield to the Americans as prisoners OF
war. General Correa, minister of war
declares that Captain General August
will defend himself to the last. Senol
Silvela says: "The moment has arrived
to take supreme resolution" General
Lopez Dominguez believes that the in.
tervention of the powers is imminent
because the fate of the Philippines in
terests all Europe"
