a clean bill of health from DR.. Guiteras,


the yellow fever expert.
Mr.. Taylor says the first transports
met with much trouble and delay He
was on board the Oiivette. which follow
ed the Indiana to Baiquiri. After arriy-
ing off that place on Monday it was not
until Thursday night that he was able to
land.
As soon as practicable after disem-
barking the troops, with the Rough Rid
ers in front, pushed on over the noun
tain roads to Siboney. 1t was while
making this trip that the Rough Riders
ran into an ambush. After getting out
of that predicament the troops camped
in the grass. The army kept marching
forward. and during the following week
Gen. Shafter established headquarters
within five miles of Santiago.
The Spanish soldiers. Mr.. Taylor says,
generally fight desperately. This, how
ever. is the result of having been taught
that capture by Americans means death.
A prisoner who was offered a drink of
water refused, saying that he could see
no reason why he should not die thirsty
as well as hungry.
On being Informed that it was not the
intention of his captirs to kill him he
seemed surprised and then begged for
water and food.
Mr.. Taylor also gives an interesting ac-
count of the fight at AQuadores. The
Thirty-third Michigan Regiment to reach
Aquadores was obliged to pass within
range of two batteries on the east and
west of the outlet of San Juan River
Two Americans were killed and six
wounded. Once across. the Thirty-third
was supported by the fire from the
Suwanee and New York. the former en-
gaging the eastern battery and the New
York opening on the western battery.

American army in Cuba, arrived in WASH
ington this morning.
He reached Old Point Comfort yester-
day aboard Of the steamship City of
Washington, which brought about 200
wounded soldiers from Siboney.
Mr.. Taylor tells an interesting story
of the march from Baiquiri to the hills
overlooking Santiago. He has not a high
regard for the Cubans as soldiers, though
they make good sentinels, and are apt
scouts. 4v5s.
Mr.. Taylor tells of the hardships and
dangers to which the Americans are
exposed. 3ii5t
The saddest sight of the war, he said
was the wounded as they were being
carried off the field to the hospitals. The
mountain roads are rough, and the army
wagons are without springs. so that from
the first turn of the wheels to Siboney
it was one long jolt. Besides this. the
wounded were exposed to the fire of
Spanish guerrillas. who were in ambush.

Gated by his fire, the American sharp

or capture. on. the run.
Another trouble which the American
forces have to contend against, Mr.. Tay-
lor says. is yellow fever.
The first to take the fever was Major
Webb. of the Thirty-third Michigan, and
within a few days several other cases de-
veloped. Fortunately the fever SO far is
of mild type. 1t is necessary now be-

Reports Received From n Refugee
Who Recently Ls II the City


Who Recently Ls II the City.
Key West. July IA young and intel
lisent sailor named Blanco. who arrived
in this city yesterday, having made his
escape from Havana last Monday. says
any attempt by American vessels to en-
ter the harbor would be useless for the
reason that heavy chains extend under
the water across the entrance from Nor
ro Castle to La Punta. These are firmly
fastened on either shore, being controlled
from the Morro Notifications. A line of
torpedoes also has been placed across the
mouth of Havana Harbor. The same. he
says, has been done at the entrance to
the harbors of Cabanas Mariel, Bahia
Honda and other places along the north
ern coast of Havana and Pinar del Rio
provinces.
Blanco adds that there are several ma
val vessels bottled in Havana Harbor.
notably the Marquis Ensenada, Conde de
Venedito. Nueva Espana and two others
whose names he cannot recall, together
with the Pinzon, the gunboats F'iecha.
Aguila, Filipinas and MagaIlanes. Those
whose condition and machinery permit
are kept constantly under steam for an
emergency. The former warship Alfonso
XII is now being used as a hospital ship
The merchant steamers Josefita. Maria
Herrera and Adela are also bottled up in
the harbor. t7
Blanco states positively that the large
Spanish merchant steamers Montevideo
and Santo Domingo ran out of Havana
and evaded the blockade several weeks
ago. Both had guns mounted on their
decks before leaving the harbor.
When asked about the conditions ex-
isting in the city, he said that but slight
changes were noticeable. The places of
public amusement were open, notwith-
standing the fact that the attendance is
reduced. Public hacks. omnibuses and
street cars are still running to the
suburbs of Serro and Jesus del Monte
although the hacks are few in number.
while cars and omnibuses run less fire.

Ferryboats when he left, were making
regular trips across Havana harbor to
Regla and Guanabacoa, and trains ar
rived from the interior with passengers,
as usual. Certain lines of provisions were
scarce and the prices of others beyond
the reach OF the masses, entailing great
suffering on the poor. 'it
