WORRYING THE SPANIARDs
The Blockading Vessels, Interfere Seri-
Ously With Their Wen While Put
ting Up New Forts and Telegraph
Lines,

patch Boat Kate Spencer, of C~ardanas,
May 9.-Via Key West, Fla. May 10
The Spanish soldiers are displaying
much activity along the line of n
from Bahia Honda, forty-five miles
west of Havana, to C~ardenas, sixty
five miles eastward. AS the ships OF
the ~blockading fleet have Instructions
to prevent the erection of new fortif-
cations and have at various points
shelled working parties, the task of
strengthening existing defences and
throwing up earth works is carried on
principally at night, save in the i'm
mediate vicinity of Havana. Along the
Oas fresh sand batteries are being
thrown up almost every night, but
these works are of a fimsy character
and would be reduced by the fire Of the
big gum in a few minutes.
The Hornet and the WinslOw, now
blockading Matanzas, have had a live
ly time for several days Smelling Span
ish details at work on batteries and
telegraph lines outside Of the entrance
of the harbor. There, as at other
points most of the work is done at
night, and each morning sees fresh
earthworks thrown up.
On Sunday morning the Hornet found
a party putting a telegraph line from
the lighthouse and signal station a
mile cas- Of MatanZaS harbor to the
batteries west of Point Sabanilla, on
the other side of the bay. The batteries
here are said to be of some magnitude,
mounting a few high power guns. To
stop this Geographic activity the Hor-
net steamed quietly in and dropped a
shell in the midst of the workmen.
They scattered like rabbits, and the
line grounded then and there. Several
other telegraph parties have been dis
cOuraged in the same way at other
points. It is evidently the intention of
the Spanish to establish communica-
ton by wire with all coast blockhouses
and batteries, with a view, possibly, of
massing troops and guns Ito oppose a
landing whenever threatened. Here
after they will probably carry their
wires behind the first range of hills,
where they will be less subject to
sudden interruption.
1t is not possible that there are
enough guns at the command of the
S~paniards to mount them in ali the
new sand batteries s%pringing up, but
as there is a railway from Havana to
MatanZas, quite close to the oas the
authorities may delude themselves
with the idea that they can transport
heavy guns to the batteries nearest the
threatened landing point whenever
their watches telegraph the appear
ance of the American troops Off the
coast.
