THE DEFENsEs OF SANTIAGO
Cannot Withstand Attack Of the
American Forces

Kingston, Jamaica, June 23-Residents
of Santiago de Cuba and vicinity who are
at present sojourning in Jamaica. among
the number being several men connected
with the Juragua Mining Company and
its railroad, say that if the Americans
think the Spanish defenses between San
tiago and Baiquiri are strong they greatly
over-eStimate them. Any strength that
these defenses have has been added
since the outbreak of the war. and the
facilities that the Spaniards have at their
command have not been sufficient to al
low them to strengthen them materially
Most of the defenses consist of moth
ing more formidable than planks and
earth, and some of them are very old
They could not withstand the fire of
an enemy for any time The men who
gave this information added that the ap-
proach to Santiago from the east is easy.
and there is an abundant supply of ex-
cellent water along the route
The town of Seboney is supplied with
water through four-inch pipe, which
leads from the river, from which thc
Americans can also draw their supply
The country in that part of Cuba is
healthy, and outside the city of Santiago
itself there needi be no fear of yellow
fever. eG
These people are business men, not en-
thusiasts. and their knowledge of the
topography of the country and the re-
sources of the Spaniards leads them to
believe that Santiago will be easily taken
by the American forces. They hope to
celebrate the fail of the city on the
Fourth of July.

The fact that a premium has been

other plans for securing some of the

then an assignment of the subscription.

New York; June 23-There were only a
few subscribers at the subtreasury to-
day for the 8 per cent bonds and the
rush of the small investors is evidently
over for the present. The subtreasury,
however, is receiving small patches OF
subscriptions from some of the banks for
their customers.
The first most marked effect of the sub
scriptions for the bonds in sums of $500
or less was-seen in the exchanges at the
clearing house yesterday and today. Not
withstanding the fact that the Treasury
is paying out large sums of money for
war purposes as well as for ordinary ex-
penses, the subtreasury was only debtor
at clearing house yesterday in the sum
of S227, 600, and today the subtreasury
was credit at the clearing house $1,000.
It collected from the banks of this city

was on checks of $500, received from the
country banks in payment for the bonds.

There is going to be room for many
kinds of heroism in this war. A conflict
which takes place in two groups of semi
tropical islands with two distinct varieties

actly suited to troops from a temperate
zone, is bound to require considerable
pluck and endurance as well as daring.

Refugees recently from Havana assert
that food is growing scarce for anybody
but soldiers and the very rich. and that
the poor are actually starving. The rank
and file of the army are coming to real
ize that Spain cannot hold Cuba, and
are inclined TO give up rather than be
shot down fighting in a, hopeless strug-
gle. IF these reports are true it IS prob
able that the capture of Santiago will
promote internal trouble, which may
render it Impracticable for Blanco to make

When it comes to the Spanish ''ex-

to be taken as an exemplar. it is an
article very badly spoiled and fly
blown. In this connection the story of
a scandal which set Europe buzZing
some time after his defeat is worth
referring to by way Of illustration. The
war having collapsed, Don Carlos
found himself bankrupt. To raise the
wind it was alleged that he gave his
collar Of the Golden Fleece to his faith
full general, ,Darregary, to pawn for him.
The latter raised considerable amount
on the richly jeweled decoration from
a Venetian banker. About this time
the pretsnder had occasion TO attend a
court function at Vienna or some
where at which it was proper for him
to wear the order. Its absence was no.

CarranEa Remains in Canada Merely

Montreal, June 2S-There was a hearing
on the capiast taken, ont by Detective Kel-
lert against Senior Du Bose and Lieut..
Carranza, who had him arrested
on a charge of stealing Carran-
za's famous letter. Curzon Dobell one
of the ledger keepers of the Bank of Mon
treal, testified that Du Bose closed his ac-
count with the bank on June last, re-
ceiving an accepted check for sl3, 745. So
far as the witness knew the check was
still outstanding.
Senor Du Bose. the next witness, adj
mitted that he withdrew the money from
the bank so that it should not be at
tached. The money was owned by the
government Of Spain and he thought it
was his duty to- protect it, He, had ab-
solute control over it. Senor Du Bose de-
clared that he owed Kellert nothing, and
that he never intended. to leave the coun-
try to defraud any one. No proceedings
of any kind had been taken to force him
and Carranza to leave Canada. He had
not been notified to go, nor had he been
advised to do SO by the Canadian, Span
ish or British government
Lieut. CarranZa testified that he had at
present no intention of leaving Canada,
though he might do so whenever he felt
inclined as there was nothing to keep
him here. He was in Montreal merely for
enjoyment and when ne left he might go
to any other part of Canada Or out of it
as he pleased. He had no intention of
going to British Columbia. He had re-
ceived no instructions or advice from any
government to leave Canada.
