Washington, June 21-A dispatch has
been received from Commodore Wat.
son of the Mockading fleet off Havana,
stating that Captain General Blanco
says the Spanish government refuses
to exchange Hobson and his men for
Spaniards now in our hands This is
supplemented by news from Key West
that Blanco not only refuses to ex-
change the prisoners, but adds that he
Will not again recognize flag of truce
and will fire on any ship approaching
within six miles of the shore. A gov
eminent vessel which arrived at X ey
West today reports that Moro Castle
keeps firing heavy shells al the blockad-
ing squadron, and it is not believed
such accurate shots can be fired by
Spanish gunners. On Friday a u inch
shell exploded dangerously close to one
OF the American Warships. raising a
column of water and smoke over 100
feet high.
In regard to reports received from
Key West today asserting that Havana
is being supplied with food despite the
blockade, It is stated that the naval off,
Gals have long known that supplies Of
all KINGS, with the exception of raw ma
terial, have been reaching Havana from
the south by way Of Batabano and the
short line of railroad connecting that
town with Havana. They are not. how.
ever very deeply concerned al that fact.
rs 1t is not believed to be the main
purpose Of the campaign to cause the
surrender OF the capital through this
starvation of its inhabitants.

Lieutenant Anderson Returns Cerveras
Courtesy and Makes Observations.
Camp McCalla, Guantanamo Bay,
June 21.-Lieutenant Edwin A. Ander'
son of the Marblehead, who has just re-
turned from the Spanish gunboat SAN
dovai. to which he was sent under
flag Of truce with letter from Span
ish lieutenant to General Pare1a, mas
reported that the, >Sandoval is In snip
shape and fighting trim. This caused
some surprise, as she had been reported
partly dismantled and about to be
burned to prevent her falling into the
Americans hands.
Lieutenant Anderson's mission was
intended as sort Of return courtesy
for Admiral Cervera's message telling
of the safety of Lieutenant Hobson ana
other heroes Of the Merrimac. The cap
tain of the Sandoval made Anderson
his guest. and at dinner they chatted
over the situation. The Spaniard spoke
Of the sinking of the Merrimac as an
expensive joke on the Americans, say
ing that the sacrifice of the $375,000 yes
sci had not accomplished the object
sought, as there was room on either
sue VI tIe SuIlheIl VESSEL lOT the DISSCst
man-ofwar to pass. This statement Is
doubted by the Americans here.
Such Of the Spanish troops as Lieuten-
ant Anderson saw were in good shape
and apparently confident, not bearing
out the Cuban idea that the Spanish
troops are fearful of the arrival of the
American army. In preparation for at
tack they are establishing new batter
les and mounting fieldpieces about Cali
manera.
A Spanish spy has come and gone
within the lines here, but he could have
learned little that would be of value to
the enemy. The Portia picked up on
the beach ragged wretch who claimed
to be Cuban just escaped from
Spanish prison. He begged for food,
and the way he ate it justified belief in
his assertion that he had tasted for SO
hours. He was accepted as a recruit,
armed and detailed for guard duty.
When the relief reached his post, he
had disappeared with the rifle intrusted
to him.

ABOUT JULY l,

Start For Manila.

This Is the Date General Merritt May
Start For Manila.
San Francisco, June 21.-Major Gen.
eral Merritt may sail for Manila on the
cruiser Philadelphia, which has just re-
ceived orders to be ready for sea by
July /. The prospective governor gen
eral of the Philippines is anxious to
reach the islands as soon as possible,
and it has been assumed that he would
go on the Indiana Of the third fleet OF
transports. However, he would be
somewhat hampered by the slow prog
ress of this vessel, while if he goes on
the Philadelphia he will probably reach
Manila fully as soon as the troops un-
der General Macarthur.
Major General Otis will go with the
fourth squadron, which will probably
consist of the City Of Puebla due here
on the 21st from Puget sound; the Peru,
due here on the oath inst. from Hong
kong; the Alameda, due here from Aus
tralia, and the Acapulco, now on the
way from Panama and due here on the
goth inst. They will be pressed into the
service If necessary.
To these may be added the Northern
Pacific company's steamers Victoria and
Olympia, now at Seattle. Both these
vessels have been granted an American
registry and are available as troop
ships. Combined, this fleet will accom-
modate all the troops that will be left
at the camp, so the ships will only then
be required for further drafts of SOL
diers.
The Aston Light battery, numbering
10l men, including three officers, ar
rived In San Francisco today. The men
composing the battery are by far the
most handsome appearing soldiers that
have arrived In this city. They are
thoroughly equipped, their outfit being
the regulation United States artillery
equipment. The battery arrived on
this side of the bay early, and the Ia
dies Of the Red Cross society served
breakfast to the men. besides adorninp
them with California flowers. rhe
streets were crowded With spectators
and the soldiers were g1vvn a great -.
