Vice Consul Fox Of Santiago. Has Poor Opinion
OF Cuban Notifications.

Baltimore, May 1.-Chares Fox.
former United States vice consul at
Santiago de Cuba, arrived at his home
in this city, today. He came on the
British steamship Cabral, which sailed.
April 49, the day war was declared with
Spain. When the news was received
that war had been declared all the yes
sells in the harbor were notified to leave
by s. p. NJ, and any that remained af-
ter that time We're liable to have their
stores of provisions confscated by the
Spanish authorities.
Speaking OF the Notifications on the
Cuban coast" said Mr.. Fox why I
think they are very poor. There is
something that they call fort at
Santiago, but l do not think it would
exist for many minutes during bonn
bardment. AS for MORO Castle at Ha-
vana, it is not all that is claimed for it,
