About Santiago Preparing for

Copyright, 1925, by the Associated Press.)
CAPE HAITIEN, HAITI, june s--e:io
p. M.--It Is reported here that a great
battle has taken place at calinanera, in
the Bay Of Guantanamo. At half past
yesterday morning (Tuesday) five war
ships OF the American squadron opened
heavy bombardment of the fortifications-
OF the town. There was perfect han
Of bombs In the bay, striking and demoi-
fishing many houses beyond the fortinoa-
tlons.
ON the Spanish side the artillery replied
vigorously, maintaining for some time
stout resistance. The fire from the war
ships, however, never slackened for a.
instant. 1t was regular and carefully
directed, and great majority OF the shots
proved effective. The Spaniards We're
forced TO abandon their positions on the
shore and retreat to the town OF Caima-
nera proper.
1t is supposed that later they fed from
that position, also, with the inhabitants.
Information has reached here that the
Spanish at Santiago and Caimanera are
preparing for a inaL desperate struggle.
and are determined to resist the assaults
of the Americans to the last extremity.
THE TORCH
The commander OF the district issued
orders yesterday to burn Caimanera be-
fore yielding it into the hands Of the
Americans.
The latter forced the entrance OF the
Bay of Guantanamo. and, according TO
the latest advices from Caimaners, 1t
was feared that the Americans would
make an effort TO land forces there this
"wednesday afternoon Measures to
prevent this, II possible, have been taken
by the Spaniards. The American fleet
was still maintaining its position.
Cable communication with Cuba, which
had been interrupted for many hours,
was partially restored this afternoon. but
IL IS still difficult and precarious. The re-
port of the bombardment at caimanera
came by cable
The bombardment destroyed little
house which sheltered the shore connec-
ton of the French cable at Calmanera,
though whether by the explosion of bombs
from the water or by explosives used by
a party sent for that purpose Is not
known. The cables uniting the main
cable with the office at Calmanera and
the town OF Caimanera with Santiago,
were cut. thus accounting for the pr0-l
ionged absence OF intelligence here as to
operations in that vicinity. IT is also
believed that the cable at Santiago is cut,
as no direct news from Santiago has been
received at Cape Haitien since Monday
at midnight.
CABLE OPERATORS ROUTED.
915 p. M--Even before the cables in
Guantanamo bay had been injured, so
that they could not be worked, the ope-
rators at the Caimanera station were
forced to flee by the firing of the Ameri-
can warships.
Up to this hour, 9I5. there has been no
direct cable communication from San
uago since Monday at midnight.

not cease TO fire an instant during the
fight. and all the batteries are In con-
dltion to reply to the enemy's fire. Du-
