Key West, July 16.-The English
built steamer Grenow Castle, which
for several years piled on the Cuban
coast under the Spanish flag, but on
June returned to her British regis
try, was taken by the Dixie off Cape
Cruz on July 6. She was bound from
Kingston, Jamaica, for Manzanillo
with large cargo of food supplies.
Her captains name is Rust and as
supercargo she had one Wilson, an ex-
port mechanical engineer. Lieut..
Smith, with two marines and two
sailors from the Dixie, were put in
Charge,
The prize crew left Cape Cruz the
same day, taking the western route,
but as the steamers chronometer and
compass were out of order, they lost
their bearings and narrowly escaped
being wrecked east of Cape Antonio.
Next the steamer blew a hole in her
boiler and was obliged to tie up at a
little key near Jardinillos. Then her
coal gave out and when the damage
had been temporarily repaired they
were forced to make for the Dry
Tortugas, where she obtained coal,
after which she put into Key West
yesterday. The crew of the Grenov
consisted of six Spaniards and fou
Jamaican negroes.
The day before this capture the
Dixie took two schooners, the Three
Bells and the Pilgrim, both flying
British flags and both bound from
Montego bay to Manzanillo with
cargos of food supplies. Lieut.. Blunt

put in charge to bring her to Key

The gunboat Uncas towed in yester-
day little Spanish sloop, the Bella
Ynez, taken off Cardenas. The sloop
had no cargo and when caught was
close in shore. Four of her crew of
six jumped overheard and got to land.
The Uncas brought also Ysidoro

WORTHLESS ALLIES.
GarciR's Soldiers Refuse to Fight or Work
Our Troops Despiss Them.

Santiago de Cuba, July 20.-A fact
which is impressed more and more
every day upon the American officers
and men, is the increasing strained
relations between the Americans and
Gen. Garcia's Cuban soldiers. Indeed
the situation has now reached a point
when there is practically no communi-
cation between the armies, and their
relations border on those of hostility
rather than relations which one would
suppose should exist between allies.
After Gen. Shafter announced his
decision not to let the Cuban junta
enter the city of Santiago, deep NUT
terings were heard among Garcias
men. The Cubans were greatly disap-
pointed at the step taken by the
American commander, for they had
confidently counted upon having San
tiago given over to loot, as they had
sacked Baiquiri, Siboney and FL
Caney. Consequently their disap-
pointment was keen when they ascer-
tanned that they were not to be per-
mitted to take possession of the city
after Gen. Toral's surrender.
The Cuban soldiers fully realize that
there is rising sentiment against
them in the army. They hear nothing
but words of scorn from our men as
they pass onward, Juggling their ba-
con and hard tack into the woods.
Our officers no longer conceal their
disgust for their allies, and the warm
friendship displayed towards them at
first has now turned into. contempt,
for the Cubans have neither fought
nor worked. The correspondent who
sends this dispatch saw a group of
Cubans refuse point blank to aid in
building roads, and, during the two
days heavy fighting, while they were
lettering in the rear, our surgeons
sought in vain to secure assistance
from them, even to cut poles for i'm
provised litters for our wounded.
