TRICK of sPANIARDs.
Attempt to Lure BIOckaders Within
Range of Batteries.

KEY WEST, Fla, June IA, S45 a. m.-
Captain General Blanco has apparently not
yet abandoned the hope of Turing the Amer
lean war ships within range of the Havana
batteries. He tried it again on Friday morn
ing last, but with no better success than in
his previous attempts. Advices received
here to-day are to the effect that five Span
ish ships ran out to the mouth of Havana
harbor on the day mentioned and headed in
an easterly direction. The vessels of the
blockading squadron were lying well off
shore. On sighting the Spaniards they ran
in a short distance and opened fire on them.
The volley of shot and shell brought no re-
Spouse from the enemy, but the quintet of
ships speedily turned tail and, hugging the
shore, under the batteries, ran back into the
harbor. The American ships, however, did
not accept the bait, and made no further
attempt to modest them The character of
the Spanish boats could not be positively
fixed on account of the distance, but the
American officers who participated in the
affair say one or two were small gunboats
of the class which has been maneuvering
all along the north coast in futile efforts to
draw the American ships within the fire of
the Spanish batteries.
Yesterday afternoon three of the Havana
batteries-the Santa Clara battery and Sand
batteries Nos 1 and deliberately opened
fire on one of the auxiliary gunboats which
was cruising along the shore. About half
a dozen shots were fired, none finding any
other mark than the sea- although several
dropped too close for comfort. The gunboat
made no reply, but hurried out of range and
reported the attack to the flagship OF the
blockading squadron No attempt at retail
1ation, however, was made.

off Cienfuegos, about ten miles from shore.
The Spanish gunboat Diego Velasquez went
to ascertain her character. When the
stranger was within five miles it was seen
that she was a cruiser. She hoisted the

LONDON, June 15.-The Standard pub
fishes a dispatch from Kingston, Jamaica
from Mr.. H. j. Whigham, who has arrived
at Kingston on the British cruiser Talbot
from Havana, where he was recently tenn
porarily in custody on charge of being spy,
until he had satisfied the authorities in
Cuba that he was the Standards corre-
spondent. Mr.. Whigham says:
THE garrison at Havana, including the
volunteers, numbers $4,000 men, while re-
cruits are enrolling daily. There Is no pros
pect of starvation for some time to come, as
meat is selling at only 10 pence (about 80
cents) a pound, and while flour is scarce,
there is plenty Of cornmeal and rice. The
in month (Mr. Whigman left Havana on
June 81, and leave the city In darkness AS
yet there are 5000 tons in sight, and 1t is
reported that 1900 tons may be available.
According to my own observation, the
temper of the Spanish troops is excellent
and their health good, while large numbers
of CubanS are veering around towards
Spain. General Messopara, an insurgent
leader, ha seven raised a thousand troops
to assist the Spanish troops The defenses
of the town have been greatly strengthened
since the war began. Two hundred guns
have been mounted on the shore batteries
including six twelve-inch cannon. In short
Havana is now practically impregnable,
provided the Spaniards make a good fight
Two lines of defense have been completed
inland In the last month or two, and 1t is
believed that the capture of the city will re-
'quire at least $4,000 American troops
The General Messopra referred to in the
insurgent leader Masso Para who, shortly
before the war broke out figured in the
dispatches from Havana, as already con-
verified to the Spanish cause Even then he
was regarded as traitor by the insurgent
chiefs.

THE GUNBOAT MARIETTA.
TweIve-ThOusand-M Trip Made
without Stopping for Repairs.

WASHINGTON, June H.-In the general
admira ton excited by the splendid perform
ance of the big battle ship Oregon in rum
ming from San Francisco clear around
South America to join Sampson before San
tiago, the equally meritorious run of the
little gunboat Marietta over most of the
same course has been lost sight of. Like
the Oregon, the Marietta is the product of
a Pacific coast shipyard, and the high char
acter of the work done in constructing this
ship is shown by the captains statement
that the little boat made this long twelve
thousand-mile voyage without stopping for
repairs. Considering the great disparity in
the size of the Oregon and the Marietta
the performance of the latter is certainly
quite as remarkable as that of the Oregon,
even though the time made not as
good The formal report of Captain
Symonds, who commanded the ship, has
just been made public by the Navy De-
partment 1t is dated Key West. June s. and
reads as follows:
''Sir-Referring to the recent trip of this
vessel from San jose Guatemala, to this
port it gives me pleasure 10 report as 10
the satisfactory performance of her engines
and boilers as also the other departments
OF this vessel. Upon no occasion were we
obliged to stop for even slight repairs and
when en- route from Punta Arenas to Rio
de Janeiro, accompanied by the Oregon, no
difficulty was experienced in maintaining
the full contract horsepower of the engines.
Upon arrival here after the from San
Jose Guatemala. about twelve thousand
miles. had immediate service been de-
sired she could have proceeded to sea at
once after coaling. This general condition
of the vessel is due in a great measure to
the zeal of the officers and crew conse-
quent upon the demands of war. The cheer
fulness and efforts of all to prevent any UNI
necessary delay in our arrival at this place
is deserving mention. and was most forcibly
illustrated at our last coaling point the
Praa river. The crew having worked all
one night. engaged in coaling in temper
allure that was trying in the extreme were
the following forenoon. despite their zeal
unable to maintain their record for fast
work. whereupon TO encourage them two of
the watch officers, neither of whom were
on watch AT the time. seized wheelbarrows
and assisted in coaling until all was on
board and I'm consequence the vessel was
ena bled TO get TO sea that day."

May Try to Run the Blockade.

NEW YORK, June H.-The agent of the
Cuban Republic at Nassau has advised the
Cuban delegation In this city that an at
tempt will be made in the near future by
Spanish schooner at that port to carry pro-
visions to the Spanish army in Cuba. The
name of the schooner which it is expected
will attempt TO run the blockade is the

on her arrival at Nassau, had on beard eight
Spanish passengers. The Belenceta was
finally sold TO a man named Vargas who is
a British subject On this account he OBJ

Why Cablegrams Are Delayed-The
Sunken City of Port Royal.


Sunken City of Port Royal.
Correspondence of the Associated Press.
IN KINGSTON HARBOR, Jamaica, on
Board the Associated Press Dispatch Boat
Wanda, June THE war correspondents
who are telling the world the story of the
struggle for Cuban independence have had
some very interesting experiences. Espe-
cially here in the West Indies they are con-
stantly getting into odd corners of civiliza-
ton. Conditions are met here which the
average American could hardly believe to
exist anywhere in the world where Bibles
and textbooks have been seen.
Since the war news center changed from
Key West to the southern coast Of Cuba
1t has been necessary to cable all matter
from West Indian points. The Island of ia
maica Is the nearest point to Santiago de
Cuba and most of the dispatch boats have
made for the various ports of Jamaica with
their news. The result is that the cable Of
fees have been swamped with messages,
and no matter how important the news
may be, nothing more than the briefest bull
letin can reach the outside world in less
than from forty-eight hours to week AFTER
the copy is filed. The readers of the Ameri-
can newspapers have often seen prefxed TO
the cablegrams from these tropical points,
delayed in transmission. That expression
is truthful as far as it goes, but the words
delayed by lack of facilities would ex-
PLAIN the SITUATION mucn more trutnIuliy.
For two days the Wanda has been lying
here in the beautiful harbor of Kingston.

Port Royal. More than two centuries ago.

great earthquake shook the island and
the city went down. 1t was the home of the
old Spanish pirate kings and in the midst of
a night of lavish revelry and debauchery
the sea swallowed them up. Not a stones
throw from our boat red buoy swings and
rocks in the moonlight 1t marks the spot
where the old city's cathedral sank The tall
spiral lifts its pinnacle up into the sea
and the buoy Is placed there to prevent
ships of heavy draft from striking it. When
the sunlight penetrates the water at the
right angle the undiscovered roofs of the old
city may still be seen. The natives never
trouble themselves about this buried city.
They are content to go on dreaming
through the various generations, hoping
that another earthquake will never come.
