OFF SANTIAGO DE CUBA, VIA KINGSTON,
Jamaica, June 2.-Rear-Admiral Samp-
-on and Commodore Schey, with their
combined forces, are slowly but surely
placing such a network about Santiago
de Cuba and are cutting OFF so effectually
every source of outside aid that within
short time starvaton's tapping will
give way to deaths solid knock for
admittance at the doors of the iIl-fated
places.
Within three DAYS three separate
sources Of supply and reinforcement have
been cut off, and Santiago de Cuba, is
now isolated from the world, and is down
to famine rations.
When Admiral Cervera arrived at SaE-
tiago de Cuba with his fleet, the people
there welcomed him for the relief they
thought he would bring, but instead of
food he brought them seven hundred
more men to feed. The only aid he had
to offer was the tons of ammunition in
his ships magazines.

The Administration gives no credence

and another has been frequently re-

long since been received that Germany
had no such movement in contempa-
ton. 1t is believed that these stories
are circulated with malicious purpose,
probably at the instigation of Spanish
influences, with the hope of exciting ir-
ritation between the United States and
Germany. They have not been success
full, however, in this, since the circuIa-

OF the second onslaught on Sunday night
OF the Spanish forces at Caimanera, at

were natives of Ireland, one came to this
country from Nova Scotia, and the other
two are American born and bred. They
We're all comparatively young men, like
the heroes found on the same field a
day before after the first conflict on
Cuban soil. The men were among the
pick of the Marine Corps, and were Sc
lected among the first to go to the SER
vice at the front. The casualty list of
the second fight reported in the dis
patches, is as follows, the sketches of the
men being taken from the official
records:
HENRY GOODE, Acting Assistant
Major of the battalion actually ranking
ing as First Sergeant. He enlisted at
Boston, December 2, 1889. He had ser
vice on the u. S. S. Chicago, and was
honorably discharged from that vessel
December 2, 1894. He re-enlisted the
following day, going back to duty on the
same vessel. Later he was detailed and
ordered South, where he went forward
with the other marines composing the
little band Of men now holding their
own on the exposed crest of the hill at
the entrance to Guantanamo harbor.
GOODE TAUMAN, private. enlisted
at the Navy yard at Norfolk, Va, Nov
ember II, 1897. He was born in Henrico
Va, and was scarcely twenty
two years old. He lived formerly at
Gayton, Va. An aunt, Mrs ]. B. Wood
of No. Z East Main ssreet, Richmond,
Va, is his next of kin. Tauman was
one of the youngest men in the field,
and his length of service lacks five days
Of seven months.

names are:
Corporal B. HAGGNEY, Company b,

| WASHINGTON, June l5.-Reports wer
received here tonight from Camp Nc
Gala, near Guantanamo, and are to TIN
effect that the marines who planted tb'
American flag there, took sweet reveng'
on the spaniards for the atrocities com
mitted by the latter since the American!
landed there.
In an attack on the Spaniards yestsr
day, the latter were completely routeG
from their position. Several hundreds
of the latter were killed and probably zoe
wounded.
In addition one Spanish officer and
eighteen privates were taken prisoners
and the Spanish blockhouses were
burned. One American marine was
slightly wounded and one OF the Cuban S
who fought with thej Americans was
killed.
The continual fire from the bushes to
which the American camp has been sub
jected evidently became unbearable, and
detachments OF marines were sent out by
roundabout routes to attack the Span
iards from the rear and fianks.
The enemy thus caught between two
fires probably broke and ran, for in no
other way could the small loss of life on
the American side be accounted for.
Wien driven from cover the guns of
the American ships would also create
great havoc in the Spanish ranks,
The anxiety here for the safety Of the
marines and for the terrible strain to
which they have been subjected be-
cause of the continuous attacks, day and
night, has given away to rejoicing over
their splendid victory, and especially as
it entailed no loss of life on our part.
The War Department is informed by
General Merritt, that the second ex-
pedtion for Manila sailed from San
Francisco at Las this afternoon on tie
steamer Zealandia, China, Gallon and
Senator.
One of the regiments that sailed was
the Tenth Pennsylvania, who were hur-
ried across the continent two weeks ago
for this express expedition. The third
expedition will start as soon as trans
ports and equipments can be flnnisht d
for the State troops now awaiting item
at San Francisco.
Tie President, in recognition OF the
heroism of Assistant Naval Constructor
Hobson, OF Merrimac fame, who is now
confined in the Spanish prison at Santi-
ago, will tomorrow nominate him for
ten grades III his rank.
This will give him the title of Naval
with the relative rank Of
Lieutenant.
The House this afternoon passed the
new lands resolutions for the annexation
If the Hawaiian Islands by the unex-
oectedly large majority of los, the vote
being 209 to 81, But two Republicans
'oted in the negative.
The resolutions now go to the Senate,
