BLOCKADE RUNNER CAUGHT.
She Was Trying to Land Provisions
on the Southern Coast.

KEY WEST (Fla.), July II. 1:3O D.
m.-The sloop Wary, flying the British
flag, was brought in here to-day as a
prize of war She was captured by the
ST. Louis about 10 miles from Santi-
ago while bound from Jamaica to San
ia Cruz with cargo of provisions. 1t
is thought her English registry is a
subterfuge to enabel her to land sun
plies in Cuba for the starving Span
iards.
The Wary's British register proved
to be bona fide, and she appears to have
been engaged in a bold attempt to land
her cargo on the southern coast of
Cuba. Her crew consisted of Captain
jeremiah Moss and three men. all ia
maica negroes. The sloop. which is a
21-ton vessel. was captured on the Sd
inst, while becalmed. She was brought
in by a prize crew of three men.
A schooner the Wyckerson, was cap
tured by one of the converted yachts

Wary was taken. She was owned by

sCHLEY MEETS CERvERA.
The Latter Speaks Of the Accuracy
of the Brooklyn's Fire.

ICcrrespondence of the Associated Press ]
OFF SANTIAGO DE CUBA, July A.
On the return of the United States
cruiser Brooklyn to the blockade off
Santiago de Cuba, on the evening of
July Sd, the Iowa reported to Commo-
dore Schley that Admiral Cervera, the
Admiral of the Spanish fleet, was on
board. The Commodore at once went
over to pay his respects. The Spanish
Admiral was much cast down by his de-
feat, but preserved a dignified and
courteous demeanor, Notwithstanding.
He said he deeply appreciated the fact
that the men of the Brooklyn did not
exult by cheering when it was learned
that he was prisoner on the Iowa. He
replied in response to the Commodore's s
remark that it was the fortune of war:
Yes, but I've lost my career now that
I've been DEBATED"
Commodore Schley, however, told
him that such a brave deed as that of
bringing out of his squadron could new
er be looked upon otherwise than as a
most gallant feat, upon which Admiral
Cervera threw his arms around the
Commodore and said: "Ah. sailors all
ways are gentlemen He then said
he thought his dead would number
probably 100. though he could not tell
definitely
He spoke of the accuracy and deadli-
ness of the Broohlyn's fire, saying that
in the early part of the action one of
her shells had traversed the entire
length Of the gun deck, killing and
wounding probably eighty men. On
the Vizcaya alone there were 10 men
killed. Admiral Cervera said he feared
the losses might be greater than he
knew, for many men We're down below
the decks and when the ships were on
fire it must have been difficult for them
to escape.
Admiral Cervera also said that he had
no doubt but that at least three ships
would have gotten away had it not been
for the Brooklyn, Oregon and Texas.

CONCERTED MOVEMENT.
Thought That It Will Result in the
Speedy Fall of the City.

SIBONEY, July IL, p. m. (via
Kingston. Jamaica, July -, 1880 a. n.)
"A concerted movement has been made
by the United States army and navy
on Santiago the past twenty-four
hours which the American forces here
believe will result in the almost imme-
diate fall of the city.
The fleet lying off Aguadores, three
miles east of MORO Castle, began the
bombardment of Santiago on Sunday
afternoon and continued 1t this morn
ing. Notwithstanding the fact that our
ships had to fire at an extreme eleva-
ton and although the range was near
ly five miles, the aim was so accurate
that many of the shells fell in the, city
and set fire to it in four places.
One shell struck ST. MichaePs Church,
in which a quantity of powder and am
munition was stored, and blew it to
pieces.
During the bombardment from the
sea the army extended its lines and
drew in closer to the city, SO that at
noon to-day every road and trail lead
ing out OF the city were guarded, and
the escape of the Spanish soldiers SEEM
ed impossible. The only way they can
get out of the city is TO ferry across the
bay to the western side of the harbor
and even then they could not get into

GREAT DESTITUTION.
1nha bitants oc Porto Rico Anxious
for Our Success.

PROVINCETOWN (Mass). July Il
Captain McKenna of the British brig
Ethel, who arrived here to-day from
Arceibo, Porto Rico for orders, brings
story of great destitution at San
Juan and other places, and a deep in
terest among the inhabitants of the
island in the progress of the war.
Captain McKenna left Arceibo June
21st. AT that time reports from all
parts of Porto Rico indicated q condi-
ton among the natives nearly border
ing on starvation. AT Arceibo flour was
selling at SO barrel, salt fish at 80
cents per pound and other provisions at
a price SO high that none but the
wealthy could get them. Captain Me-
Kenna says that While he was at Ar
ceibo he fed on an average of fifty per-
sons per day. Several American and
British newspapers reached Captain
McKenna while he lay at Arceibo and
he says that the natives actually fought
to get possession of them, so eager We're
they to learn the progress of the war
All classes are praying for a speedy
of hostilities and the major
ity express sympathy with the United
States, whose efforts they believe will
result in bringing them relief from the
rule of Spain.

Many Shells Fell in the City, Doing
Much Damage.

3:2O p. m.-The land forces watch with
interest the bombardment from the
fleet About s o'clock the thunder Of
guns was heard to the seaward and
a dense cloud of smoke, rising over the
ridge to the south, showed that the navy
was at work.
Many shells from the ships burst in
the northwest part of the city, which it
is difficult to see from the American
lines. 1t is impossible to say what
effect they had. Several burst in the
center of the town with very great eff
feet. One shell, of whose action a
good view was had from San Juan Hill
burst in small street When the at
mosphere cleared, it seemed as if the
entire street had been blown out of ex-
istenoe. A large hole was torn in the
ground and many buildings We're de-
molished. If a hundred shells could
be landed with similar effect thew
would destroy Santiago The warships
fired only for short time.

FRANCE READY TO TRY.
England Will Not be Asked to Open
Peace Negotiations.

NEW YORK, July PA dispatch to
the World from London says:
Frances new Foreign Minister, M.
Del Casse, has notified the Spanish EN-
bassador at Paris, Senior Leon Castil-
10, that the French Government is ready
to tender good offices of the French
ambassador at Washington in opening
negotiations for peace if the Madrid
Government will permit it to do so.
The proposition first suggested by
Austria and France, of intercesSon at
Washington by the British ambassador
has been abandoned. Premier Sagasta
informed the French Government
through Senior Castillo that the home
difficulties of the Spanish Ministry
would be likely 10 be gravely in
creased if Great Britains aid was in
voked because of the hatred of England
pervading Spain.
1t is understood in diplomatic and
quarters here that peace ne
gotiations will be opened through the
French ambassador at Washington.
The Sagasta Ministry is now regarded
with contempt throughout Europe, it
being notorious that it's members are
only deferred from suing for peace by
fear for their personal safety.

NO NEW PLAN.
Skaters Report Of Complete In
vestment Very Satisfactory.

WASHINGTON, July 12.-At the cab
met meeting to-day kilograms from
General Shafter We're read and dis
cussed, but no new plan Of campaign
was considered or important orders
given. General Skaters report that
he had the city of Santiago completely
invested was received with much salts
faction, as there had been some appre
hension that the Spanish were contem-
plating a night evacuation. Secretary
Alger, on leaving the meeting, said that
although General Skaters line on the
west was light in places, he had no
doubt that it was sufficiently strong to
repel any attack the enemy was capable
of making at this time.
1t was the Secretary's opinion that
the Spaniards were now completely cut
off from outside aid and it was now
only a question of prompt surrender or
a fight which would result in their cap
ture. 1t was Secretary Alger's opin-
ion, as we'll as that of other members
of the Cabinet, that the Spaniards
would surrender rather than take the
risks Of general assault.

HEAD MONEY"
Officers and Men Of Sampsor's Fleet
Get Snug Sum.

WASHINGTON, July 12-Something
over 100000 will be paid by this Gov
eminent as head money" to the Off
GERS and sailors who destroyed Cerve-
ra's feet. This is according to the
law which provides payment of 500 a
head for every man on the ships Of the
enemy when those ships are destroyed
A few of the officers Will receive pretty
good fortunes.
The law governing the distribution of
this money is very explicit. Every
man, according to his rank, will be
paid in due season.
Records in the Bureau of Intelligence
at the Navy Department show the COM
plement of officers and men on the six
Spanish vessels destroyed off Santiago
to have been as follows:
Vizcaya 800, Maria Teresa 800, AL
mirante Oquendo 800, Cristobal Colon
$50, Furor 90, Pluton 20. Total 2,0S1.
On this reckoning the Government
will pay to the officers and men of

PEACE IS
WIDELY
DISCUSSED.
Both by the Newspapers
and the Public.
Conservatives Say Spain Is
Prepared to Accept Peace.
But They Assert She Will Yield
Cuba Only.
She VIII Never Concede Porto Rico, the
Philippine Islands or an In
menSe Indemnity for
the War.

: MADRID, July II, 8 a. m.-The possi-
bility of peace with the United States
is being widely discussed in the news
papers and by the public. The con-
servative papers declare Spain is pre-
pared to accept peace provided it inn
plies only the loss of Cuba But, they
assert, Spain would prefer war
routrance if the United States should
claim Porto Rico. the Philippines or
immense indemnity which would be
impossible for Spain to pay
The Correspondence" asserts that
General Correa the Minister for War,
does not disagree with the other Cab
met Ministers seriously as is generally
the Cuban situation it is possible he will
no longer oppose peace. provided the
conditions are not too onerous.
The public connects the recent confer
the Spanish Minister for Foreign Af-
fairs. and the French ambassador, M
Patonotre, with the report that the
French ambassador at Washington. Nj.
Cambon, has been instructed to learn
the lightest constructions on which
peace is obtainable.
Other Spanish newspapers continue
the violent anti-peace campaign. The
"Ejocito Espanol," a service paper,
says:
If we make peace now we deserve to
be shot in the face If Santiago falls
there remain 10000 Spaniards in Cuba
who are determined to defend the ter
ritory"
The Correspondence military and
service paper, declares that the Govern
ment must act in conformity with the
wishes of the army in Cuba, which, it
adds, desires to continue the war.

PEACE DISCUSSION.
Madrid Dispatch Of Alleged Cordi-
tions Looked on as a Fceler.

WASHINGTON, July 12-The dis
cussion of a possible peace settlement
was continued to-day, although it was
lacking in any tangible basis, as Off
cials, Government and diplomatic, con-
tinued to say that no overtures from
Spain or any other quarter had been
made. The dispatch from Madrid de-
failing the series of alleged peace con-
ditions was looked upon as a feeler."
1t is said that no such proposition has
gone from this Government. The al
legged terms-Spanish evacuation Of
Cuba and Porto Rico, $40, 100000 war
indemnity and retention of the Philip
Zines until the indemnity is paid-are
in general line with the conjecture
afloat here for some time, but officials
never have given this conjecture. any
Endorsement and if the Madrid dis
patch is put forward as a 'feeler' it
has not proved successful in inducing
the authorities to disclose their posi-
ton on these terms as whole or sep
arately. Each one of the propositions
involves a general policy, and it is
doubtful whether any such general pol
icy has been determined toward outside
possessions. severally or together
The Spanish Cabinet crisis is looked
upon by officials here as likely to bring
about direct issue on which Spain will
sue for peace or continue the war to the
bitter end The retiring Premier, Sa-
gasta. has been for war. Now that
he retires, the Queen Regent must make
choice between a Premier and a Cab
met more radical than Sagastas for
war or else a Cabinet for peace. The
idea of officials here is that the middle
ground occupied by Sagasta is no long
er tenable and that the Cabinet of the
next few days Will be radical either for
peace or for war If for peace the ne
gotiations are expected to take form
very soon. If for war, then the peace
conjecture Will be summarily disposed
of, and at the same time there will be
assurance Of stubborn Spanish resist
ance. The departure of ire French
ambassador last evening takes out of
town for the present every diplomatic
chief likely to be interested in any for
eign movement connected with the

1t is expected she will arrive in the

The Surgeon General has assigned
Surgeon Pursens to take charge of the

Pursens has recently been at the re-
