THE Spaniards are trying to wcan the
Philippine rebels from their allegiance to
the Americans, Captain General August

patch Boat Wanda OFF Cardenas, May ?S--
Cardenas harbor has been completely
closed by the Spaniards since the attack
on the Winelow ard other American torpe-
do boats. This fact was demonstrated yes
to-day by the attempt OF the English
steamer Myrtledene TO enter the port to
take On a cargo of sugar.
The Myrtledene had begun to take on a
cargo when war was declared and was or
dored out by the American gunboat Ma
cbias. The steamers owners claimed that
under the blockade proclamation. she was
entitled to thirty day to load and Secre-
tary Long gave the ship permission to re-
:l':u and complae her cargo. She found
however. that the harbor was filled with
sunken distractions and could not get in.
She lies outside the harbor, nesting for
long and detected like storm beaten
bird, uncertain whether TO attempt to
bring her cargo out in lishterl or wait foT
the war to end.
