Spanish Authorities Refuse to Ex
change HObsOn and His Men.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Juno 2O.-Seorotary
Long received this morning tho following
dispatch from Commander Watson, com.
manding tho blockading fleot off Havana
Captain general says that tho Span,
ish government refuses to exchange
p"isOnors."
This rolates to Liontenant Iobson and
tho crow of tho Moryimao, and is tho out
como Of tho visit of Capt. Ludlow to
Havana. .....a.. ...-..
Tho refusal of tho Spanish authorities
to exchange Lioutonant Ifobson and his
mon eXoites tho utmost indignation.
This action on tho part Of tho Spanish
American officials, but by foreign authori.
tics on International law as absolutely
unjustifiablo and unworthy of q civilized
nation.
No doubt is folt that Iobson and his
mon arc being kept at MOrro Castle fol
tho purpose of giving that fOrtificatior
immunity from attack, and that they arc
being retained as prisoners for tho pur.
poso of using thom as n shiold foY tho
! safety of tho Spaniards. 1t is not only
that IIobson and his mon are being used
| thus as n hostage, but they must ncces
| sarily, whilo retained as prisoners, be
| subjected to the danger of disease and
| of privations and famine.
Not only would every shot fired agains

| intlict upon thcm all tho suffering whicl
is logitimatoly brought upon tho Span
| ish forces.
If food is scarce at Santiago Hobsor
and his gallant crow arc probably tho
| first to go hungry. Tho wants of the
Spanish army will be tho first cared for
| and whilo tho Spanish soldiers arc OF,
a!!GHt -&t;oi5, it L; iiCtt likely thai tiius,
prisoners aro gotting much food.
1t is recognized rs legitimate in war
fare that the feeding of soldiers should
| first be looked after
But it is not legitimate in warfare to
retain prisoners whom an exchange is
| possible so that thoy shall suffer famine
General BlaEco has notified tho Amcri.
can blockading fleet that he will here
after recognize no flag of truce, adding
that cvcry vessel within six miles range
will bo fired upon, whetor flying the
stars and stripes or n white flag.
| Another government vessel which ar.
rived at Roy West this morning reported
that MORO Castle keeps firing heavy
shells at tho blockading squadron and il
| is not believed such accurate shots can
| bc fired by Spanish gunnors.
On Friday a 12-inch shell exploded
dangerously close to ono of tho Amcri-
| can warships, raising II column of watcl
| and smoke over ono hundred feet high
The result of these Spanish moves can.
| not now be determined further than that

prisoners arc rescued; and that more
vigorous war policy will DO pursued from

5 Is OFF Santiago Negotiations for
rs 3 ..I.. Peace are Begun. y

On Board the Associated Press Dis,
patch Boat Dandy, Mole ST. Nicholas,
Tuesday aiorning, Juno Oh Tho United
States army Of tho invasion Of Cuba,
commanded by General Shafter, arrived
off Santiago do Cuba yesterday at noon.
The troops, numbering about 10, 900 men,
wore on board thirty-seyon transports.
When tho fleet of transports, with its
freight of fighting mon, swopt up tho
Southern coast and slowed up within
sight of tho doomed oity of Santiago de
Cuba, tho anxiously awaited soldiers
wero grooted with ringing cheers, which
family echoed to tho transports from tho
decks of tho blockading warships far in
shore, they wero answered by tho troops
most heartily and in kind.
1t was 10 o'clock yesterday morning
whom tho outlook on board tho armored
cruiser Brooklyn reported seeing tho
smoke of several steamers away to the
southeast, and q moment or so lator he
announced that dozen transports were
in sight. ..-
Thon signals wore exchanged from ship
to ship. ,gladdoning tho hearts of tho
woary blockaders. Then tho United
StatHs auxiliary cruiser Gloucostcr, for
merly, j. Pierpont Morgans yacht Cor
hitir, dashed away to meet and welcome
tho troops. About half an hour lator {:
grim forest of masts had sprung up ap-
parontly from the soa and most i'm
pressiye sceno was presented as tho
armada swept gracefully up from tho
horizon toward tho shores whore tho
great struggle is to take place.
Tho transports were ranged in thrcc
shifting limos, with tho battlcship Indiana
on tho oXtremc right and tho othor men,
| of-war on tho outskirts cf tho i1cot. In
this order tho transports and thoir scouts
| steamed slowly in toward tho hills whore
tho Morro's rod walls cleaned in tho
| sunlight. 1t was intended to take tho
entire flcot to tho limos of Rear Admiral
Sampson's fleet of war ships, but an
ordor from tho admiral stopped tho
/ advance of tho ships about fiftoon miles
to tho southeast, and, escorted by tho
Gloucester, Con. Shaftor went forward
on the Scguranca to confer with the
admiral
Tho transports lay on tho smooth sea-
whilo tho plans were discussed by the
leaders on board tho flagship. Not the
| faintost intimation of their intentions re-
garding tho landing has boon allowed to
escape. Undoubtedly, however, some
of tho troops will bo landed at Guauta-
namo bay in order to roliovo tho marines
thoro,. but it is generally believed tho
main body Of tho troops will DO landed
| much nearer Santiago.

Last week tho first land battle in
Cuba bctwccn tho forces of tho United
States and tho Spaniards took place on
tho bay Of Guantanamo. Before sDnd-
ing ashore eight hundred marines the
little fort was battered to pieces by wal
vessels and tho onomy dislodgod. The
Spaniards returned aftor tho first night
and for two days harassed tho marines,
killing four and wOunding others. Tho
marines changed their camp to a
point bcttcr protected by tho ships
and organized parties to attack tho
Spaniards in tho bush and drive thom
out. Tho enemy wCro completely routed,
several hundred boing captured and
about forty killed. Camp McCalla can
bo now easily hold until tho delayed re-
inforccmonts arrive. Tho Vcsuvus fred
three experimental shots at Santiago
with satisfactory results. Tho thrcc gun
cotton bombs woro fired noiselessly, but
tho explosion on shore was awful, max.
inS big gun sound ike IL fire poppor.

The Spamiards have finally refused
to exchange IIobson, realizing that
they have a valuable prisoner. Many
OF tho forts at Santiago aro badly
disabled and Sampson will finish
his work as rapidIy as possible. Thirty
two transports, carrying fifteen thousand
soldiers, two barges and hospital ship,
accompanied 10y Il convoy llCct, made ono
of the most impressive naval spcctaclcs
