AFFAIRS IN SANTIAGO.
Food Becoming Scarce and Despond
ency Prevails.

Food Becoming Scarce and Despond-
ency Prevails.
Port Au Prince, May 31.-Two Ital-
ians, who set out from Santiago de Gu
ba in a small boat May 10 and landed
near Mole st. Nicholas on the 22d, ar
rived here today, bringing information
as to the situation at Santiago. The
state of affairs there is critical, partic-
ularly so because of the lack of food.
A great many of the unfortunate peo-
pie, especially the reconcentradoes, are
dying of starvation. The whole popu-
lation is terribly discouraged and are
keenly desirous of peace.
The arrival of the squadron under
Cervera without food supplies for the
city deepened the general dependency.
The squadron has disem barked 800 ar
tillerymen and engineers, and landed
0,000 Mauser rifles, great quantity
of ammunition and four big guns des-
tined for the Notifications.
In spite of the strict silence main
tanned by officers and crews, the gen
eral impression, when the Italians left,
was that the squadron would set out
for San Juan de Porto Rico to obtain
supplies and land ammunition there.

The Cruiser St. Paul Secures a Rich
Prize.
Key West, June 1.-The British
steamship Restormel was captured by
the cruiser St. Paul and brought into
port this morning, under her own
steam. by prize crew. She was cap
tured while trying to put into Santiago
with cargo of coal. The steamer was
bound from Can diff to Porto Rico. AS
the Restormel came in the British flag
was. halfway down her mainmast.
Newspaper men are not permitted to
approach within 100 yards of her. The
Restormel was captured by the auxil-
iary cruiser St. Paul, Captain Sigsbee,
under the very guns of Moro castle, at
Santiago de Cuba, at A. NJ, May 25.
She carried 2,400 tons of best Welch
coal from Cardiff, presumably for Ad-
miral Cervera's feet. The st. Paul
had been lying off Santiago for six
days, and early last Wednesday NOM
Ing, the big collier was sighted, max
ing at full speed for Santiago harbor.
The St. Paul fired blank shot, and
the Restormel came to, four miles
from the Santiago forts. The forts did
not fire on the cruiser. A prize crew,
in command of Lieutenant Pattson,
was put on board and dispossessed the
British officers, who made no protest.
Not line was found among the ships
papers relative to the destination or
consignee of the cargo. The Restormel
was headed at once for Key West.
She was leaking badly when captured
and is still in serious condition.
The Restormel now lies in the har-
Dor near the wharf. The British flag
is flying at her stern. Mar ines patrol
the prize and will allow no one aboard.
The members Of the crew are not even
allowed to take newspapers offered to
them from launches that come along
side

Washington, May 31-Adjutant-
General Corbin said today that it had
been definitely decided to use about
$4,000 of the volunteers to be raised
under the new call in filling out deficit
regiments already organized under the
old call. 1t would take about that
number, he thoaught, to fill each regi-
ment to the maximum limit of ,O60
men. The remaining $4,000 will be
organized into regiments of three bat
talions each and distributed among the
states and territories in exactly the
same proportions as under the first call.
No cavalry, however, would be accept
ed. and only very limited number of
artillery.

New York, May 31.-The United
States cruiser Columbia reports that at
7:3O last night, off Fire island during
thick fog, she was run into by the
British steamer Foscolia, ~hence for
Bordeaux, grain laden. The Foscolia

SECURE IN SANTIAGO BAY
Believes That Cervera Will Blow Up
His Ships Rather Than Have Them
Fall Into Our Hands-Invasion of
Cuba Expected Soon.

Washington. May 81. - At 1890
o'clock this morning the navy depart
ment received dispatch from Commo-
dore Schley announcing definitely that
he had located Admiral Cervera's Cape
Verde squadron in the bay of Santiago
de Cuba. The commodore states that
ne has seen and recognized the vessels
of the Spanish fleet.
While the naval officers have been
moderately certain for several days
that Cervera's squadron is in the har-
hor of Santiago, the official announce
ment from Commodore Schley was re-
ceived by the officers on duty at the de-
partment with intense satisfaction.
Assurance is now doubly sure that the
Spanish feet is bottled up and the cork
is in the bottle.
It is not believed that Admira Ger
vera will attempt to escape from the
predicament in which he now finds
himself, as such course would surely
result in the destruction of his ves-
sells, and the loss of many lives precious
to Spain.
The suggestion is made, however.
that the Spanish may blow up the ships
rather than have them fall into the
hands of Schley, as they certainly will

At the regular meeting of the city
council on Thursday night it was de-
cided to put down another we'll in ad-
dition to the ones already planned
for and also to sink all of them deeper.
The change was made on the re-
commendation of Contractor McCar-

drawing water from one we'll caused
those adjoining to lower.
The difficulty is not but what there
is plenty of water, but it perculates
through the peculiar soil of the river
bottom so slowly that with an eigh
foot screen in the wells, the water
does not flow rapidly enough. Its
therefore proposed to put in twenty
foot screen and it is thereby hoped to
get good flow of water.
