WHERE THE BOMBS FELL.
MUCH DAMAGE BELIEVED 10 BE DONE
Scarcely any Reply was Made by the Span
iards.-Americans now Practically in
Full Possession Of Guantanamo.


Copyright 1893 by Associated Press)
Mole, St Nicholas, Saturday, June Is.
$50 p. m-News from Guantanamo
Bay up to this morning shows that
naval operations there continue most ac-
tive, and with the advantage on the
side of the Americans. Yesterday
morning at $50 o'clock the American
vessels resumed the bombardment of
Guantanamo town and in the course of
one and one half hours threw into it
seventy-hve shells, great majority Of
which appeared to have been effective.
Six of these shells were 13-inch pro
iectiles, eight S-inch, and the rest
smaller The men in the tops could
see many of the shells strike in the
very midst of the town while others
fell among the shipping and commercial
buildings near the waters edge.
Smoke arose in dense clouds from the
places where the shells burst, and it is
believed that damage both by the inn
pact of the missiles and consequent con-
migration was very great.
On Thursday evening the ships had
shells into the town. This bombardment
hogan at four o'clock, and ended at
five. Much smoke and confusion were
discerned in Guantanamo during its pro-
gress Crowds of people and troops of
soldiers were seen moving about and
vessels in port hurriedly changed their
anchorage.
On Wednesday night the Texas pene-
~,
Moro Castle and poured a well-drected
fire both upon that stronghold and the
Castle Xocapa. This battle began about
II o'clock and ended about midnight.
There was very little response from the
Spaniards. and such us there was dad
hardly any damage. 4,obody was killed
in any Of these actions on the American
ships.
Two Spanish officers who were captur-
cd on Wednesday in Guantanamo Bay,
are reported to be on board the Marble
head.
The news Of the work on Wednesday
night by the Eesuvius and New Orleans
in Santiago Bay is confirmed. The
Eesuvius threw shells into the water to
explode the mines, while the New Or
leans engaged the Notifications along
the shore
The Marblehead has captured Il
Spanish sloop in Guantanamo harbor,
and made eight soldiers who were on
board prisoners.
The Americans are now practically in
full possession of Guantanamo Bay, and
the white tents of the land force pre-
sent "A rather imposing spectacle. There
is occasional firing from the Spanish
land forces, but it is always inefficient
and of no Importance.
Day before yesterday our soldiers cap
tured mt Guantanamo a Cuban with dis
patches which he was carrying to the
Spanish general. He was turned over
to the Cuban commander and shot. An
other Cuban was captured the same day
under similar circumstances His fate
is under consideration.

Honolulu as when the vessels locked.
It was late so the order was given to
allow no one ashore; but the next morn
lowed to land. During the day they
we're given the freedom of the city. A

Victoria. b. c., June 1S.-The steamer

Honolulu dated June 8:
The Hawaiian Star of June Bird pub
fishes the following story regarding an
ATTEMPT to blow up the United States
ship City Of Picking, while that vessel
was in port here:
IF the report i'll circulation today is
true, Honolulu came near being the
scene of ms frightful a disaster as that
Of the Maine. and in much the same
way. The story is to the effect that
an attempt was made to blow up the
Picking magazine. 1t was frustrated just
in time An enlisted man, 1t is said,
was caught arranging a fuse connecting
with the magazine. The magazine con-
tains 400 tons of powder and had been
guarded closely. The bastard, it is
said is now under close guard, and
when the Picking gets out on the high
seas will be hanged at the yard arm.
THE greatest secrecy concerning the
matter is being maintained for fear it
would mar the spirit of the present oc-
casion. The alleged culprit is said to
be a half Spaniard The qualifications
caused a sensation in this city. Military
officers on the ship denied the truth of
the story but their denial was made in
a haIf-hearted way. There are many
corroborative features which tend to
prove the truth of the report which
was at first circulated by enlisted men.
Others admitted that the Spanish half
breed was on board the Picking. Two
Honolulu citizens state that they were
on the Picking on June Bird, when they
saw . man in irons and under close
guard. They were convinced that the
prisoner was the man who attempted to
blow up the ship"
