would indicate the near approach of

act Information as to the location Of
the fleets, this serenity in naval circles
was a fair indication that the official

DEsTITUTIoN AT HAVANA.
Spaniards Determined to Exterminate
the Cubans.

Key West, May 22-Gustav Arangu-
rem. brother of the late Cuban insur-
gent general, Nestor Aranguren, today
received letters from Havana via Vera
Cruz, dated May Z, stating that Cen
eral Blanco's order impressing all Gu
bans into the Spanish army has had the
effect of driving many into the insur-
gent ranks. A. Betancourt, an Ameri-
can citizen, and Gonzales Arounde. the
letter states, have been arrested and
confined in the Cabanas for aiding the
insurgents
The restitution in Havana is frightful
and is increasing. The grocers, all of
whom are Spaniards, refuse absolutely
to sell food to the Cubans, as if de-
termined to starve them. The Cubans
say the Spaniards hate them more than
the Cubans do the Spaniards. Ameri-
canu correspondents declare that the
Spaniards realize that Cuba is lost, but
that before yielding the island they will
endeavor to exterminate the Cubans.
