IMPORTANT DISPATCHES.
Arrival at Key West of Dispatch Bearers
from Gen. Rodriguez to the
Cuban JunLa.

KEY WEST, Fla, June 81 "A vessel
arrived here from the blockade, and re-
ported all quiet along the line. She
brought an officer of the Cuban army
and pilot, who are carrying impor-
tant dispatches to Senior Estrada Palma,
of the Cuban junta, from 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 a
very interesting account of their eXpe-
riences After leaving the insurgent
camp they made their way into the
city of Havana, spent several days
there, proceeded to a small inlet in the
nelghborhood, stole small boat and
rowed out to sea, in the hope of COM
ing 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, costs
so cents per pound, and the army has
been placed on half rations. The mes
sengers class as false the stories that
vessels have succeeded in entering Ha--
vana harbor with supplies. They as
sert that since the blockade began only
three small fishing vessels have en-
tered the hafbor, and that no food
whatever is received from Cienfuegos.

milton.
KEY WEST, Fla, June 81 Another
government vessel which arrived here
reports MORO castle, Havana, continues
firing heavy shells at the blockading
squadron, and it is not believed such

exploded dangerously close to one OF
the American warships, raising n col

high.
