OFF SANTIAGO DE CUBA, June H.
Correspondence of the Associated Press.t-
The United States cruiser Marblehead, un-
der command of Lieut.-Commander Nc
Gala has done remarkable work in the land~
ing of ammunition and the driving out Of
the Spaniards. Believing that Guantanamo
was a good place for base for the Amer
lean army il it came, and that the sheltered
bay would prove a good smooth spot for
the smaller vessels to be coaled in Commo-
dore Schley, acting under Rear Admirs4
SIMPSONS ORDERS sent the Marblehepc
down to look over the ground. It had been
asserted that the place was In control Of
the insurgents, but Commander McCalla
found that this was not true, for no sooner
did the cruiser point her nose into the har-
Dor than two 4-inch shells flew over her.
Discovering the gunboat that had fired the
projectiles, the Marblehead made target
of it, and in a short time the Spaniard
steamed away into shallow inlet where the
cruiser could not follow. .-..s
Commander McCalla then looked around
and came back to the squadron and reported
1t as suitable place for landing troops.
Then, taking collier with him, he went
back to the bay and under the very nose Of
the enemy, deliberately tied up to the collier
and for several hours coaled his ship
The Vixen and Gloucester two converted
yachts, in the meantime carried on active
work with the insurgents at Acerradero.
The value of making this place point of
operations may be better appreciated when
it is known that 1t is half way between Ju-
caro- and Manzanillo, two encampment
places of the Spanish, and Santiago de Cuba.
Behind Jucaro and Manzanillo and running
down close to the shore to Santiago are
high and almost impossible mountains, so
that operations between the three places
must be conducted along the shore line OF
the Caribbean Sea. A railroad line was
constructed running from Jucaro to Santi-
ago, and in March last Gen. Paredo put a
large force Of troops at Jucaro and Man.

was selected as a place for interior move
ments and to menace the insurgents and
the work of connecting it with Manzanillo.
so as to have triangle with troops at every
angle, was begun. The operations Of Adj
miral Sampson have broken the most inn
portant side of the triangle by putting the
insurgents in possession Of Acerradero, ana
the triangle has been broken again by the
landing of marines at Guantanamo. In all
dition to this it is learned the insurgents
have torn up the road and destroyed COM
munication between Bayamo and Santiago
de Cuba SO that 1t is evident that the three
stations of Spanish troops are thoroughly
isolated from one another. M
The arrivals of newspapers and mail on
June 10 was hailed with Joy, but much
amusement was caused by the various acs
counts of the bombardment by Commodore
Schley. The orders issued on May 81 were
not to fire at the batteries but only at the
ships seen in the harbor. No damage of any
sort was done to the batteries on shore. Tho
Spanish warship Reina Mercedes was hit. a.
was also the Cristohal Colon, but not
seriously injured. The object of the exps-
dition was to find out what the defenses on

RUsSIA'S ATTITUDE
The New Ambassador Says the Gear Is
Friendly

WASHINGTON, June 22.--Thc new Rus
sian Ambassador, Count Cassini, will be
formally received by President Mckinley
within a day or two. The coming of tho
Ambassador at this time when Europe is
keenly alert to the progress of the war,
excites more than ordinary interest, for 1t
Is known that he brings a message of the
heartiest good will on the part of the Rus
sian government and one making 1t quite
evident that the long-existing friendship
between Russia and the United States will
not be shaken by the events of the war.
When the Russian Ambassador ex-
pressed his satisfaction at having the op-
portunity of renewing at this juncture the
cordial sentiments which have so long ex-
listed In Russia toward the United States, ne
said he was authorized to give this senti-
ment full and positive expression. The SYM
pathies between the two countries have be-
come traditional, he said, and at no time
was the feeling more hearty than at pres
ent.
When Count Cassini was asked If the
Russian people and press shared the feel
ing of the Russian government. he an
swered that the people thoroughly shared
In it. AS to the press, however, he said
that its power for good had not been de-
veloped in Russia, and there was no es-
tablished press rejecting the views of the
government and serving as powerful ex-
ponent Of public opinion. One Russian
newspaper, having a Jewish editor, has
published an article somewhat unfavorable
to the United States which the Ambas-
sador understood had received rather SER
ious attention in this country as an evil
dence that Russia was not entirely friend
ly. But this paper, Count Cassini said,
expressed only the views of its editor and
was without standing with the govern
ment or authority to express its views.
AS matter of fact. this publication was
directly contrary TO the attitude Of Rus
STA toward the United States.
Count Cassini was asked whether Rus
STA looked with apprehension upon the
American occupation of the Philippines.
He replied that Russia was naturally deep
ly concerned in any movement affecting
the great problem in the Far East. The
Philippines were, to some extent, a part
or an outpost of the Far East, and who was
to control them If they passed out of the
control of Spain was of interest and i'm
portance to Russia, but so far as Russia
herself was concerned, Count Cassini said
that her sphere of activity was confined
to the Far East proper and not to the
Philippines and other outlying islands
which could have only an indirect and re-
mote influence in the development of the
East. In response to an inquiry as 20
whether Russia was likely alone or with
other powers to look with dsfavor upon
the control of the Philippines by the United
States, the Ambassador said that he did
not apprehend any change in the present
good relations between the United States
and Russia. He added, however, that it
seemed to be quite undesirable that the
possession of the Philippines should pass
into the hands of England, as 1t would
certainly disturb the equilibrium in the
Far East.

HOSPITAL WORK
The Government Providing for the

Care Of the Wounded
NEW YORK, June 22.-The Washington
correspondent of the Tribune says
The effect of General Miles strenuous rep
reservations of the urgent military exigen-
cies which demand immediate additions to
General Skaters army Is evident on all
sides. The decision to send at least one
regiment of volunteers on the fast auxil-
larry cruiser Yale from Newport News on
Thursday to be followed by others on the
Harvard a few days later and another bri-
gade from Camp Alger during the ensuing
week are fair instances of the success of
his recommendations.
A serious problem whose solution was de-
termined upon by the authorities today is
that of the disposition of the vast number
of prisoners who must fall into American
hands whenever Santiago capitulates. This
number is variously estimated all the way
from 5000 to $4,000 men, and as the United
States will not permit them to suffer any
avoidable hardships, provision has to be
made at once for their maintenance 1t
has been definitely decided that they cannot
be permitted to remain in Cuba, and 1t will
therefore be necessary to provide large
number of transports to bring them to this
country, where they may be more readily
fed and guarded. This will require much
larger fleet of transports than that which
carried General Skaters army, and con-
sidering the extreme difficulty which the
War Department has already encountered

Of yellow fever at McHenry. Miss, is re-
ported in today's official dispatches. 1t

discovered. The outbreak at McHenry has

cases, but SO far all have been found to be
groundless. They nevertheless imposed con-
siderable work in the way of investigation

THE HAWAIIAN CABLE
Promoters of the Enterprise Ready to
Commence Work

NEW YORK, June 22.-The passing by an
overwhelming majority in the House Of
Representatives of the joint resolution for
the annexation Of Hawaii to the United
States and the probability of like action in
the Senate have caused a revival of interest
in the bill to provide for Geographic COM
munication between San Francisco and
Honolulu, says the Washington correspond
ent of the Tribune.
Nearly everybody admits that the acqui-
sition of Hawaii will render the establish
ment and maintenance Of such communi-
cation necessary. Interest in the project
has also been stimulated anew by the in
telligence that the Hawaiian Legislature
has granted franchise to the Pacific Ca
BILE Company to lay and maintain tele-
graphic communication between that coun-
try and Japan and China the operation of
said franchise being conditioned on favor
able action by the Congress of the United
States within the next IS months on the
bill nPNi peeRajng before it.
This Mn,u which was reported from the
House Committee on Interstate and For
eign Commerce by Mr.. Bennett of New
York on March g. authorizes the Postmas-
ter-General to contract with the Pacific
Cable Company for the payment to said
company of not more than 800 900 year,
payable quarterly for twenty years, for the
construction and operation of a submarine
cable for the transmission of messages of
the United States from San Francisco to
Honolulu and thence to such other points
on the coasts of Japan and China as the
company with the approval of the Post
master-General may select. Within fif-
teen days after the approval of the act
the company must deposit with the Post
master-General $250,O00 in United States
bonds to be forfeited to the United States
in case of it's failure to carry out its con-
tract.
The friends of the measure are not hope
full of action by the House before next
winter unless the present session is pro-
longed to date considerably later than Is
now expected, although they are strongly
OF the opinion that the work of establish
ing Geographic communication between
San Francisco and Honolulu should be be-
gun as soon as annexation takes place and
vigorously prosecuted to a speedy conclu-
sion.
Two members of the Committee on Inter.
state and Foreign Commerce. Messrs. Cor
liss of Michigan and Fletcher of Minne-
sofa. opposed a favorable report on the
Pacific Cable bill and filed a statement Of
their reasons. 1t is understood that the
majority is in favor of the measure.

Hemorrhage Of the Brain

An inquest was held last night at the I'M
dertaking rooms of Peck & Chase, on the
remains of Ernest Wolf, who died at the
county hospital on Tuesday. Wolf was
found partially unconscious on vacant lot
at the corner of Bellevue avenue and San
Fernando street on the 10th inst. There was
cut over his right eye and it was first
thought some one had struck him. The old
fellow, who was 60 years of age, was taken
to the county hospital and finally died. The
jury decided that he had come to his death
by .hemorrhage of the brain. He evidently
had fallen and made the cut over his eye,
causing blood vessel in his head to burst
and form clot on the brain.
