A TROPHY OF THE WAR.
The Old Spanish Gun Captured Mt
CamaneIR


Baltimore. Sept. 1.-THE old Spanish
gun captured by the Dixie on the Cuban
coast, and which the Dixie boys wish TO
present to Baltimore, was taken from the
cruiser yesterday and placed on the
Dale, at the foot of Charles street,
where it will remain for several days.
The gun is of bronze, and weighs 2.eoo
pounds. II was made in Seville, Spain,
in 1901. and, ii is said, has been used in
many battles, doing special service in
early conflicts between Spaniards and
Cuhans. 1t is an aged-looking affair,
and is unprovided with a gun rest. This
is an inexpensive part of IL, and can
easily be procured. Lieut.. Emerson said
yesterday that the gun would stay on
board the Dale until decision had been
reached in regard 10 its permanent loca-
ton The majority of the crew favor
placing il in Monument Square. Some
wish il placed beside the gun from Ma
Mia. while others wish 1t placed in one
of the city parks. The entire crew and
officers oppose its being sent to Annapo-
lis, where, ii is claimed, il will practical
ly be hidden.
The gun was brought uD in one of the
Dale's boats about o'clock yesterday
afternoon. Boatswain's Mate Field, with
sixteen members of the Naval Militia,
managed the job. 1t was hoisted over
the side of the Dixie ana let down into
the Dale boat by means Of davits. The
trip up TO the Dale was very slow. The
boys on board the Dale cheered as the
boat pulled up to the side of the old
ship with the gun on board and lent
willing help in getting it up and in posi-
tion.
The gun was captured from a fort
near Camanera, Cuba, which the Dixie
had attacked and demolished. At pres
ent ii is the property of the United
States as part of the spoils of war but
IL j. understood the Secretary of the Ma
Wy is willing to allow the Dixie crew. to
make the presentation to the city.

DEsT1rUT1oN IN CUBA.
People Urgently in Need of Food
and Clothing.

Mr. Quesada received several letters
yesterday telling of the destitution of
Cubans. Gen. Rojas wrote from Carde-
mas that a small expedition carrying
provisions and clothing had arrived
there. The situation, he describes as
desperate. Food is scarce and the sus-
pension of hostilities, in Gen. Rojas
opinion, has been the cause of starving
the people in the interior. He appeals
TO the American public to send food and
clothing at once.
Gen. Diaz commanding the Western
department, writes that many families in
Pinar del Rio are coming into his camp
for food and clothing. He says the gov
ernment of the Republic of Cuba Is be-
ing organized in many of the towns OF
the province. Gen Rodriguez, writing
from Havana province, says he is doing
all in his power to show the world that
Cubans are capable of forgetting past
grievances and are contributing to the
establishment of firm government for
all the people. of the island. He also
enphasiZes the urgent need of food and
clothing for the people.
A copy of the following letter from
Gen Miles has been received by Mr.
Quesada:
HEADQUARTERS of the Army,
Port Ponce, Porto Rico,
August, II, 1893.
Gen. Emilio NuneZ.
My Dear General-I have received
your very interesting letter of July 2z
and am glad to know that the expedition
proved successful and that the necessi-
ties of Gen. Gomez were relieved L beg
to tender my coincidence on the loss or
your brother.
"I congratulate you on the cessation OF
hostilities and the prospect of the sue
cessful termination of the struggle OF
your countrymen for their liberty. met
Gen Garcia very pleasantly, but was sc
much occupied that l did not have time
to talk with him as 1 wanted TO do. At
ter we had secured the surrender of the
Spanish troops l Immediately went away
as | was anxious to move to Porto Rice
as soon as possible. and was deeply en-
gagged in moving the transports with
troops to this place. l deeply regretted
rot seeing more of Gen. Garcia, as

services he and those under his command

there is anEiety to have the commits sion reach an agreement under which the work will ba commenced and prose- cuted with earnestass ;. It will require several weeks to remove the large body of Spanish troops in Cuba, and therefore American commissioners should urge an immediats agreement as to the time fer beginning and con- 2leti1g the work That there has not oeol &1 agreement before this is due to the yi5Iding Of the American com missloners tn the schemes Of the Sp2ni2rds fer delay.

splash in the water nearby, but this
little attention from the enemy SEEM
ed =aly to lend a certain relish and
air Of excitement to the work. No one
foc moment thought or suggested a
retreat. As soon as a small party OF
the marines had beeen landed they
formed in line of battle and advanced
on some huts and a signal station
standing lack from the shore. These
were found to be quite deserted, and
al$oost demolished by the lombard
ment which the Yankee and Marble
head had administered the day before.
The first work was, OF course, to raise
the stars and stripes above the ruined
signal house. The flag pole which
was still standing, commanded an ex-
tended view Of the harbor for several
miles. AS the flag fioated gloriously
above the palms a mighty cheer went
up which was answered by the mar
ines on every ship in the harbor. Old
Glory had at last been raised in Cuba
to stay. The reserves had helped more
than the marines Of any other ship
to place them there.

when the flagship, the New York, sig
nailed Cease firing" But the reserves
had their fighting blood up by this
time, and were in no mood to stop.
Obedient to the orders the Yankee
slowly and reluctantly turned seward
from the enemy's forts, but at the
same time kept up q hot fire from
her stern guns. The trick enabled her,
while still obeying orders, to keep up
the firing for several minutes after the
other ships had ceased. The firing was
kept up till she was entirely out of
range. The old tars OF the great bat
tleships laughed heartily at the impu
dence Of the smaller ship, and the
officers good naturally passed it by.
The reserves performed an important
service the following day in the work
of cutting the cables at Caimanera. A
part Of the feet was detailed for this
work, consisting OF the ST. Louis, Mar
blehead and Yankee, while couple of
gunboats fished up and cut the cable
while the others engaged the forts.
The attack was directed at the fortif-
cations in Guantanamo bay at o'clock
in the morning. AS in all previous
engagements the fire Of the Americans
was most effective. The entire forces
of all the forts guarding the harbor
were directed on these three compare
lively small boats, and the position
soon became a very dangerous one.
The men on the Yankee meanwhile
returned the fire shot for shot with
perfect GOODNESS and with deadly ac-
curacy The gunnery OF the Spaniards,
1t was soon noticed, was no better than
on other occasions. The Notifications
were soon reduced to ruins and many
of the Spanish soldiers were killed.
The Yankee meanwhile ran directly
under the great forts and hammered
away in perfectly cool and business
like manner. Early in the engage
ment the cable operators were driven
out of the cable station to the woods
back of the town. With the enemy
