FOOD FOR STARVING CUBANs.
Warships Will Escort Red Cross Relief
ship.

Washington, April 2S.-Supplies for
the starving reconcentrados in Cuba
will be landed before the end of this
week. The steamship State Of Texas
is expected to reach Key West on
Thursday and will receive orders to
sail for that point where a landing is TO
be effected. The navy department now
incines to the choice of Sagua for the
destination of the Red Cross ship. A
letter was received from Sagua dated
April H., reciting a condition of affairs
which is deemed favorable to the object
in view.
The letter conveyed the information
that there had been no cessation of the
work Of relief up to the 18th inst. There
were still 100 tons of provisions on
hand. and they were being distributed
regularly. There are 1000 sick Spanish
soldiers in Sagua who are sharing sup
plies with the reconcentrados. The ar
eument in favor of the selection OF
Sagua is based mainly upon the fact
that the garrison force consists of only
500 Spanish able to fight, and II resist
ance should be offered they could be
overpowered easily.
The supply steamer will go into the
harbor flying the Red Cross insignia
and also a flag of truce. A warship Will
be within striking distance IL her serv-
ices are needed. The insurgents have
suggested Caibarien, a port east OF Sa-
qua. as the ultimate base Of supplies.
They say that IL the 5000 United States
troops are landed with supply OF
arms, ammunition and clothing, 1t Will
be possible to arm Cubans In suffcient
numbers to hold the place against any
force which Blanco can send there.

Watch for the Montserrat.

Washington, April 2S.-Navy officers
are disturbed and disappointed at the
news In a dispatch from Havana that
the Montserrat has landed at Cienfuegos
with 1000 soldiers, eighteen guns of
large caliber and SS,000,000. If the
Montserrat has succeeded in running
the blockade it is a great triumph for
the Spanish, for the attention of the
blockading squadron has been chiefly
directed toward her capture. The news
comes from Spanish source and may
be put out to deceive. No official con-
firmation has been received.
