1t is supposed that later they fled from
this position also. with the inhabitants.
Information has reached here that the
Spanish at Santiago ard Caimenera are
preparing for final desperate struggle,
and are determined to resist the as
saults Of the Americans to the last ex-
tremity. The commander Of the district
issued orders Tuesday to burn Calm
anera before yielding it into the hands
Of the Americans. The latter forced
the entrance Of the Bay ofGuantanamo,
) ard according to the latest advices frCn
, Caimanera il was feared that the
Americans would make an effort to land
forces there yesterday afternoon. Meas
ures to prevent this, if possible, have
, been taken by the Spaniards. The
American fleet was still maintaining its
position.
News Comes by Cable.
Gable communication with Cuba
which had been interrupted for many
hours. was partially restored yester-
day afternoon. but it is still difficult and
precariCus. The report Of the lombard
ment of Caimenera came by cable. TIL:
bombardment destroyed little hous,
which sheltered the shore connection o
5 the French cable at Caimanera, though
whether by the explosion of bombs from
+ the water or by explosives used by {
party sent fer that purpose. is no
: known. The cables uniting the mail
cable with the office at Caimarera an,
the town Of Caimanera with Santiag,
were cut. thus accounting for the pro
longed absence Of intellengence here a
TO operations in that vicinity
Operators Forced to Flee.
Even before the cables in Guantana
mo bay had been injured So that the.
could not be worked the operators a
the Caimanera station were forced t
fee by the fire from the American war
ships. Up to this hour there has bee
no direct cable communication fror
Santiago since Monday at midnight.

Associated Press.) - Yesterday the
Marblehead reduced the antiquated
Notifications Of Guantanamo harbor.
The insurgents cooperated from land.
The place will be held until troops
arrive. 1t is contemplated to estab-
lish general base here. The Marble
head cut the Haytien cable there also.
Arms and supplies for the insurgents
were landed from Suwanee yesterday.
The Marblehead Monday, when the in
surgents pressed forward west of
Santiago, shelled thee Spaniards, who
fled to the mountains, abandoning the
dead and wounded enroute. Santiago
is on the verge of starvation. All food
has been seized for the army and navy,
and troops and sailors are on half ra-
tions. Sampson has officially declared
his purpose of bombardment of San
tiago to clear way for the troops
until his object has been attained.
The Spanish commander referred
the matter of the exchange of Lieut..
Hobson and his men to Capt. Gen.
Blanco. The matter is likely to he
prolonged.

Two Nuisances Referred To.
To the Editor Of The Evening Star:

10 the EDITOR OF The Evening Star:
The Fourth of July is nearly a month
away, but the frecracker nuisance has
commenced already. The regulation on
this subject cannot be we'll enforced BY
policemen in uniform. but a few patrolmen
IN plain clothes could make dozens of cases
every day. The sale of explosives is regu-
lated by license, and sales should not be
permitted, except perhaps a day or two
preceding the Fourth and on the day actu-
ally celebrated.
1t was mistake to amend the police
regulations so as to permit the crying of
extra New York and other outside news
papers on extraordinary occasions" with
out restriction as to hours. Fake New
York extras have been a public nuisance
ever since the war excitement began. Citi-
zens are willing to be disturbed at all hours
to read an extra Washington paper. but
they do not wish to be kept awake by the
yelling of yellow" extras published go
miles away. The restriction as to extra
ordinary occasions amounts to nothing
The Spanish war itself is an extraordinary
occasion, existing continuously. 1t can be
made an excuse for an extra at any hour
of the day or night. The amendment is in
the interest OF no resident OF Washington
except the night owl newsboy and il
should be rescinded before the expiration
of the thirty days of grace.

WAS PREMATURE.
This Boy Started Fourth of July BE-
fore the Time.

David Jordan, colored boy not more
than ten years old was taken in custody
by Policeman Cochran yesterday because
of his too previous celebration of INDIE
pendence day. He was not released be
cause the amount of collateral asked was
SO, and today he appeared before Judge
Scott. 1t was the polceman's complaint
that Dave had been setting off frecrackers
on + street. and he thought he did 1t to
tantalize him.
What about your mother and father?'
Judge Scott asked the boy.
Il amt got 10 father" he answered,
land my mother works on Vermont ave-
nue."
Annie Brown, who takes care of the boy
while his mother is in service, spoke d
coed word for the boy. She thought his
mother would not want him sent to the
reform school.
The boy, in his own behalf said tina.
another hoy had given him some torpedoes,
and he had thrown them in the street.
why amt you down in Cuba with your
tcrpedoes?" the boy was asked
Judge Scott disposed of the case by i'm
posing a fine of $40, and said he would do
what he could to break up this practice of
using explosives too early. They are cal
cu,ated to brighten horses, he said, and
cause other trouble and damage.

Solace at Key West. and said that it was
the first hospital ship of the kind he had
seen He was impressed with the
completeness of the Solace's outfit, and in
dcated that this modern device for mli-
eating the horrors of war would attract
the attention of foreign countries and De
generally adopted.
The Solace arrived at the Brooklyn navy
yard last Sunday and transferred her "A pa
tents to the naval hospital at Brooklyn
She sailed yesterday afternoon to rejoin
Admiral SIMPSONS feet, and take away
such further sick and wounded as may be
there. DR.. Van Reypen sent aboard $1,0Jo
worth of deicaces contributed by private
parties, and also gave the chief surgeon of
the ship $500 for further use in this line
This is an addition to the substantials on
beard, and it will mean much to the parch-
ed threats of the sick and wounded who
come from SIMPSONS fleet.

CONFIDENCE MEN


1t appears that confidence" men are
reaping a harvest out of the passengers
on the Kennebec and Sagadahoc. Their
fled of work is in Boston and the police
in that city have not as yet succeeded in
breaking up the gang.
A few days ago a man was buncoed out
of a roll of $50 but not wishing to let
the public know how easy he was, the
matter was kept quiet.
Monday, young fellow with a little
hard earned cash in his pocket was ac-
costed on the Boston wharf by a man
whose appearance at once stamped him
as right honest good fellow. He Incl
dentally picked up an acquaintance with
the young man and telling him that he
was an Augusta merchant, asked him to
accompany him up town.
The supposed merchant bought a lot
of goods and rendered in payment a 500
bill. which the wholesaler could not
change. He then turned to his young
friend and said. Haven't you any
change" The victim went down in his
pockets &C.. fished out $29. The conf
dence man says. my wife and child
are on the boat and If you go down I
will join you in few minutes
The inexperienced man did as told but
he waited in vain for his elderly COM
panion to arrive. He at last awoke to
find that he was loser. He told the Of
ficers Of the boat of his misfortune but
they. Of course. were unable to help him.

Death Of Charles Edward Bradstrees.

Charles Edward Bradstreet died at his
residence In Pittston. Tuesday forenoon.
at a few minutes before II o'clock, Of
cancer on the throat, aged about "a years.
A wife and two sons survive him. He
had been sufferer from the disease for
a year past, and though several opera
tons were performed. the relief was but
temporary. He was great sufferer. but
bore all with the rare fortitude that was
his and only gave up his position as first
months since. when it was impossible for
him to continue longer.
Mr.. Bradstreet was born in Pittston,
and was the son of Charles Edward
Bradstreet and Abigail Smith, who was
of one of the Smith families who gave to
a portion of the town of Pittston the
name of Smithtown. He was one Of
eight children. four boys and four girls.
When a young man he married Miss
Della A. Reed of Dresden, the union re-
sulting In two sons. Leslie and Harry.
the latter living with his parents on the
old homestead farm.
Mr.. Bradstreet was a sea-faring man
from his youth. In the old days.
when American shipping was In its
glory, he was in the employ of his rela>
tives. the Gardiner Bradstreets, who
were then among the prominent ship
builders in the State. He began the life of
a sailor on the ship Valley Forge. then a
new vessel commanded by the late Capt.
William Counce Of Gardner. and which
was at that time engaged ir the guano
trade from the Chincha islands. About
the year 1866 he entered the employ of
the Kennebec & Boston Steamboat Co.
as second mate of the steamer Star OF
the East, now the Sagadahoc, where he
served faithfully, being promoted to the
position of first mate. When the new
steamer Kcnnebec .cGas built. he was
given corresponding position on her
list of officers. which he held until he
was obliged to retire on account of ILL.,
ness. He was one of the Oldest steam
boat men upon the river. and always per-
formed his duties with degree of faith
fulness and integrity that won for him
the confidence of his superior officers,
and theesteem and friendship of large
circle OF Acquaintance.
He was a Democrat of the old school,
although he never entered deeply into
politics. AS man he was straight
forward and honest. OF a quiet DISPOSE
ton. unobtrusive. and firm in his belle;
of doing right. he lived up to his prin-
ciples to the end. He was good friend
and always a gentleman. and many are
they WHO will mourn his death and share
the grief Of the loved ones left behind
