Cape Haytien, June i, 1915 p. m.-The
Spanish government, according to advices
received here from Havana, intend to cut
the cables which connect that city with
Key West if the other Cuban cables are
cut by the Americans.
The Havana papers, the same advices
say publish a dispatch from Madrid, de-
claring that the Americans intend to at
tack Santiago by sea, while the insur-
gents are making an attack by land, and
also 10 land reinforcements at Guanatan-
amo and Santiago de Cuba.
A dispatch from Santiago says: 1.-THE
American squadron, which bombarded
Santiago yesterday, was composed of
fourteen vessels, among which was recog-
nized the Iowa, Brooklyn, Massachusetts,
and Amazonas (New Orleans), a gunboat,
and auxiliary cruiser believed to be the
Columbia.
The five vessels which were recognized
opened fire on the batteries of Punta Cor
da, FL Moro and Zocapa, and also on the
cruiser Crstobal Colon, which advanced
toward the entrance of the harbor and was
visible from the high seas.
The Americans fired projectiles of 30
centimeters and the batteries, as well as
the Colon, kept up an incessant responsive
fire.
Two shots landed on the after part of
the Iowa, causing damage.
"On the Spanish side the damage was in
Significant
The American squadron withdrew at 6
o'clock last evening.
The American squadron reappeared off
Santiago, but contented itself with firing
two shots, which are believed 70 have been
signals agreed on with the insurgents who.
numbering 1900 or 5000, are said to have
concentrated three or four miles from
Santiago.
Great events are expected hourly at
santiago. The Spanish authorities have
taken extraordinary precautions and have
placed in the narrow pass at the entrance
ol the harbor special contrivances which
permit the closing and the opening of the
port at will"
The condition of the population of San
uaSo since the beginning of the blockade
mas grown rapidly worse, and it is said
now TO be nearly desperate.
GOD is very scarce and the poor people
are hnding it almost impossible to obtain
any because of enormous prices
Inc expectation is general that Santiago
must soon fall into the hands Of the
Americans.

Cape Haytien, Hayti, June 1.-The Daily
Bulletin, issued by the French Cable Com
pany here, to-day apparently confirms the
news of Spanish origin to the effect that
a battle has been fought before Santiago
de Cuba. The bulletin is as follows:
Santiago de Cuba, May S1.-To-day at 2
O'Clock the American feet, composed of
fourteen ships, of which one appeared to
be the New York, and flew the flag of
Admiral Sampson, and few torpedo
boats, opened fire on the fortifcations and
on the roadstead with heavy guns.
THE fire of the Americans appeared to
be directed principally on the roadstead
and on the forts of El MORO, Zocapa and
Punta Gorda.
3:45.
'The shells fell in the bay, but did not
reach as far as the town.
after 3:45 the cannonade weakened, and
cannon shots were heard in the offing. The
Americans completely ceased firing after
4 o'clock in the afternoon
AT ? o'clock to-day the American steam
er Fanita arrived at Cape Haytien from
New York and Port de Paix. She reports
that she did not see any warships.

WhOle spanish Fleet.
Key West Fla, June !. p. MAS to
the result Of a battle at Santiago de
Cuba there is but one opinion among naval
men here, and that Is the American fleet
is strong epough to cope with the whole
Spanish navy, let alone Admiral Cerve-
ras light squadron.
Advlces from the blockading fleet off
Havana say there Is nothing stirring
there.
Every morning one Spanish gun boat
skulks out OF the harbOr and moves along
the line Of forts, protected by them, as IL
sent by Capt. Gen. Blanco to tell the
Americans he does not fear them
The stories about a Spanish cruiser be-
ing seen in the straits Of Florida and even
chasing ships, have become the subject Of
laughter among naval officers who say
they would dearly love to sec any such
ship.
Nearly all the newspaper boats have
gone 70 Santiago.
Admiral CerVera's coal ship, the big
British steamer Restormel, has been moor
ed at the naval station dock, where her
cargo Of picked Welsh coal will be un-
loaded. Naval officials have an idea that
they will find something beside coal in her
hold.
IL was the Restormeps failure to reach
Santiago that made 1t impossible for the
Spanish feet to escape.
There were no important naval move
ments to-day.
Seventy-hye naval reserves from Chicago
and 147 from Iowa and Illinois arrived
to-day on the steamer from Tampa. un-
der the command of Lieut. Porter. They
were taken on board the Lancaster. All
were well, except one, who was taken from

BANK OF SPAIN HARD PRESSED.

Help Government.
Madrid, June l, p. m.--The attention of
the public to-day is absorbed in the condi-
ton Of the Bank Of Spain, which is con
sidered more serious than any reverse of
the war, inasmuch as the impossibllty Of
the bank to help the government means
impossibllity TO continue the war
There was long procession at The bank
during the day. All classes Of people were
represented and many women were in
line waiting their turn to change notes
into silver, fearing the notes would soon
be subjected to discount.
IL the run continues there is danger of
the banks stock of silver becoming ex-
hausted, which would compel The govern
ment to resort to forced currency, issu-
ing notes of small denomination.
1t is hoped, however. that the panic will
subside, leaving the bank margin of sill
yer.
The financial outlook of Spain is rather
dark The government has entrusted the
Bank of Spain with the negotiations for
loan of 1,OO0000,0O0 pesetas at per cent.
which sum is 10 be raised as and when
required. The bank will endeavor to raise
the loan at home and abroad

WHAT LONDON THINKS.
Believes Sampson Was Only Drawing

the Spaninrds Out.
Copyright, 1895, by the Associated Press
London. June 2.--Amid the conflicting ac-
counts of what has happened at Santiago
de Cuba, it appears certain that there
were two separate incidents the spanish
torpedo attempt Sunday night and the
American bombardment or reconnaissance
Tuesday afternoon.
Probably neither will turn out of great
importance, except as proving that the
entrance 10 the harbor is better protected
by mines and guns than might have been
anticipated from Admiral Deweys expert
ence at Manila. 1t is believed here that
this is all Admiral Sampson desired 10
discover, and that the Spanish Senate has
little to eXult over
Admiral Cervera is expected to repeat
the torpedo boat attempts. with view OF
keeping the American squadron as distant
as possible, in order 10 facilitate his es-
cape Unless he can do this, the Ameri-
cans are almost certain to eventually cap
ture The three or four Spanish cruisers
now known to be inside Santiago.
The anxiety the Spaniards betray in
publishing reports as TO evolutions of a
squadron outside Cadiz leads TO the sur
mise that Admiral Camara is already on
the way. This, rs the Daily News sug-
gests, may explain Admiral Cervera's tor
pedo movement on Sunday and also Com
modore Schley's tardy action.
Therefore" the Daily News argues,
.''if Admiral Camara Is nearing Cuba an
other complication has arisen, and Admir-
al Sampson will have to take measures to
prevent him from joining Cervera"
The Daily News also says that Commo-
dore Schley's bombardment may have
covered counter-mining operations with
view Of forcing the channel and that If
his vessels were damaged a fresh attempt
will probably be postponed"

Furious Fire Turned on Her the
Moment She Appeared

Copyright, 1S9S by the Associated Press
Port au Prince, Hayti June l, 1915 p M
According to the latest advices from
Santiago de Cuba, when the Spanish
cruiser Cristobal Colon emerged from the
harbor yesterday to the entrance of the
channel, she was welcomed by such a
furious fire as soon as the American
squadron sighted her that she was COM
PEELED to retreat into the bay.
The American squadron, which left San
tiago waters at 4 o'clock yesterday after
noon, returned in front of the entrance of
the bay this morning and fired two cannon
shots, which are believed TO have been a
signal arranged with the Cuban troops

three miles) from the city.
Everybody expects grave events.
