SANTIAGO DE CUBA MENACED.
Insurgents Trying to Hem In the Cit,
"A BOastfuI Governor.

Copyright. 1898. by the Associated Press)
KINGSTON, May 19.-Refugees who ar
rived here to-day from Santiago de Cuba
on board the steamer Adula say the insur-
gent district commanders in eastern Cuba
are moving nearer and nearer to Santiago
de Cuba. It appears that Brigadier General
Mindez by order of Gen. Calixto Garcia
has brought insurgent forces from the ex-
IRENE east to the neighborhood of Caima-
nero on the south coast, and Brigadier
General Castillo. of the insurgent army, has
shifted his command to within twenty-five
miles of Santiago de Cuba. Small insur-
gent bands engage in nightly raids past the
outlying garrisoned towns to within about
TX miles of the city of Santiago de Cuba.
Phey retire without pursuit after their
1orays. The concerted design is to cut off
the meat, vegetable and fruit supply of the
city and produce the effects of a siege. In
the meantime the prices of provisions at
Santiago are even less than they were three
weeks ago. during the first panic following
the outbreak of hostilities between Spain
and the United States and the expectation
OF being blockaded. Small cargoes of flour,
groceries and canned goods have been re-
ceived by schooners from Jamaica and
Haiti, and the markets of Santiago de Cuba
are full of fish.
Senior Enrique Caprileo, governor of Sam
fiago de Cuba, in an interview printed in La
Bandera Espanola of May Is is quoted as
saying: Spain has 100000 regular troops
and volunteers In Cuba, and we fight on
cur soil. Those of us who are from Spain
are acclimated and we are intrenched

patriotism and thoughts of our wrongs. Our
flag has been called the golden and bloody

win that name"
The feeling against Americans in Santiago
de Cuba Is most bitter. The Spaniards
threaten to confscate the plantations owned
by Americans.

THE SPANISH CABINET
SENIOR LEON Y CASTILLO DECLINES
THE FOREIGN PORTFOLIO.
Says He Can BE More Useful as Am
bassador to France, the Posi-
ton He Now Occupies.

MADRID, May 19.-The new Cabinet min
listers took over their portfolios this after
noon, except Senior Leon Castillo, who
declined the foreign portfolio.
LONDON, May 2O.-The Madrid CORE
spondent of the Times says: 'Senor Leon
Castillo has again wired Senior Sagasta,
developing the reasons already advanced
why he might be more useful in his present
position as ambassador to France than as
member of the government This dispatch
has considerably impressed the Cabinet.
Recent events, especially Mr.. Chamber
lains speech at Birmingham, have opened
up new political horizons. Spanish states
men anticipate the possibility of a universal
confagration wherein Spain would find eff
cient allies. Their eyes naturally turn to-
wards France and Russia. Therefore, it
seems important that Spain should be rep
resented at Paris by an ambassador well
acquainted with the tangled skein of Eu-
ropean diplomacy, and persona grata to
the French government. 1t is believed that
Senior Leon Castillo will fulfill these con-
ditions Hence, Senior Sagastas hesitation
to recall him. On the other hand it is diff
cult to find in the ranks of the Liberal party
a man equally qualified for the Foreign
Office portfolio. do not venture to predict
the final decision.
Meanwhile it is announced that the Cab
met council to-day Thursday decided to
strengthen Immediately the defenses and
garrisons in the Canary and Balearic
islands and at Ceuta Morocco Opposite
Gibraltar), a decision which is very sgnifi-
cant, as no apprehensions have been enter
tanned that the United States would extend
the operations of the war to the Mediter-
ranean. During the last few days hopes of
diSinterested Intervention by the powers
have almost disappeared, it being recog-
nized that the powers are too much divided
among themselves This being the case, it
is asked whether Spain ought not to stimu-
late friendly feelings in the case of one or
more powers by holding out the prospect of
some material advantage. The idea is as
yet embryonic, but it may easily develop
into something definite
LONDON. May 20.-The Paris correspond
ent of the Times says "Senor Leon y Cas-
tillo, the Spanish ambassador, will start for
Madrid tomorrow (Friday) to talk over the
Cabinet situation with Senior Sagasta.'
The Madrid correspondent of the Stand
ard says: Senor Sagasta will make a
statement Of the policy of the new Cabinet
tomorrow (F'riday) The Republicans and
Carlsts intend to obstruct the budget until
the end of June. The premier's contention
is that the policy must be dictated by the
march of events. and must, therefore, be
opportunist in domestic matters and inter
national questions, while devoting all its
energies to the requirements of the war"

LONDON, May 20.-The Madrid CORE
spondent of the Daily News says: THE
Spanish correspondents say that Gibraltar
has received within a fortnight 100000 tons
of coal and large Quantities of ammunition.
The new Spanish Cabinet nearly came to
grief on Senior Gamazo's demand that it
should not be bound by the outgoing Min
istry. The government intends to increase
the means of defense of territories exposed
to foreign greed, and is considering the ne
cessity of keeping basis of operations in
Spain. In the Philippines a majority of the
people are loyal, and the Americans and
their few native allies are unable to con-
fore keep at home the 1000 troops intended
for the Philippines until further notice, and
will Immediately send the Cadiz reserve
squadron to Manila to chastise Dewey"

Worse than ''FOrty Rod"

There are worse things than hard cider,
apple-jack, 'forty-rod" whisky or even

in the district chiefly populated by Lithua-

a quart, whereas ether can be purchased
for sixpence. and more than answers the

complained that it was impossible to get

is decidedly abating in Spain, and the long

crisis is that there is not a single public
man who inspires the smallest confidence.

viewed by the masses with despairing in

ion daily growing among thinking men that
Spain is drifting toward defeat may at any
moment determine the formation of peace

upon the great activity displayed in
strengthening the coast defenses of Spain,
says: Special naval and military vigilance
committees have been formed to watch the
approaches to the harbors. The reasons
for this are unknown, but possibly there
are fears of an American naval raid or
there is prospect of European complca-
tions. Captain Aunon, the newly desig-
mated minister of marine, who favors an
active naval policy. especially at the Phil
ippines, has had long conferences to-day
