splendid and daring work in carrying
communications and arms to the in
surgents and making trips ashore for
the purpose of gaining information.
Upon the gunboats Suwanee and Vixen
this work has chiefly devolved. Lieu
tenant Sharp of the Vixen and Lieu
tenant Commander Delehanty of the
Suwanee have been daily entrusted
with important missions and have car
ried them out successfully. The
ViXen's work has been chiefly confined
to carrying messages to and fro, but
the Suwanee has been occupied in a
more serious task. This little gunboat
arms ammunition, 300 Springfield
rifles, 100 carbines, 1000 machetes, with
equipments and provisions. They were
landed yesterday wednesday, about
10 miles west of Santiago, to some 800
insurgents who came down to the
beach, the main body remaining in the
mountains. The debarkation of sup
plies was tedious, but uninterrupted.
The insurgents reported that irregular
engagements between their forces and
the Spanish cavalry were of daily oc-
currence.
The Cubans were hard up for sup
plies and ammunition and were over
joyed at the sight of the Suwanee's
cargo. Some, almost ravenouS, hacked
They had been living on lines, cocoa
nuts and sweet potatoes.
Ensign Gilpin of the Suwanee went
ashore and accompanied the CubanS
to their temporary camp inland, where
he found 10 or Il wounded men badly
in need of surgical attendance. Band
ages for them were sent from the
Suwanee. The casualties were the re-
suits of a brush on the previous night
with Spanish cavalry.
To the correspondent of the Associ-
ated Press, Ensign Gfpin, describing
his experiences at the camp, which is
about ten miles inland, said:
Il found the insurgents rough-look-
ing and mixed lot of boys and old
men, rugged out any way, carrying
arms of all sorts, and all anxious to
borrow everything 1 had on, from my
blouse to my revolver. Four Spanish
soldiers in uniform, carrying rifles,
marched into the camp while I was
there and said they wanted 20 join the
insurgents. They were enrolled, but a
close watch was kept on them, as they
belonged to the civil guard. A Cuban
soldier told me such additions were
not infrequent. The Spaniards had
Mauser rifles, which were in fairly
good condition.
Conservative authorities believe the
troops will have to carry out their
plan of campaign without placing
much reliance upon the insurgents
Several plucky young officers, like En-
sign Gilpin, have made trips ashore
and taken observations of the interior
harbor and the Notifications, locating
the exact position of Admiral Cervera's
four ships 1t is hardly likely, how
ever, that the Spanish admiral keeps
them moored at the same place both
day and night.

GUANTANAMO ENGAGEMENT.
Not So Important As at First Re-
ported.

Washington, June 10.-The first Off
cial confirmation of the engagement at
Guantanamo last Tuesday came to the
naval department today, and was made
the subject Of a bulletin The terms
IN which Admiral Sampson described
the affair tended strongly to take away
the large Importance that had been
given it in the unofficial discussion
There was notable failure on the part
OF the admiral to mention anything
like landing, although a statement
that the Marblehead now holds the
lower bay, by implication may carry
with it the idea that her marines are
ashore. The navy department posted
the following bulletin:
"On June Z Admiral Sampson ordered
the Marblehead, Commander McCalla.
and the Yankee, Commander Brownson.
TO take possession Of the outer bay of
Guantanamo. These vessels entered
the harbor at daylight on the 18th, driv
ing Spanish gunbOat into the inner
harbor. and took possession of the
lower bay, which is now held by the

Value of Vessels.
San Francisco, June 1870 far as is
now known, the third Manila fleet will
consist of the City of Para, Ohio, Indi-
ana, Victoria, Olympia, Arizona and
possibly the City of Pueblo. The
steamship Peru is the next Pacific
Mail vessel due from China. She is an
American ship and may be taken for
a transport. The City of Rio de jan
GIRO and the Alameda are also likely
to be chartered or impressed into serv-
ice when they arrive from across the
Pacific.
The government has fixed the follow
ing valuations on Pacific Mail steam
ers already taken: City of Pekin,
s65O,00O; City of Sydney, s475.O00; China,
100000; Colon, $3.50, 900. If any of these
vessels should be destroyed by the en-
envy, the government would have to

sells are lost by the action of the ele-
ments, the company must stand the
loss.
