American Prisoners Taken but Not

Stories for Home Use

LONDON, June GA Madrid telegram
says: Regarding the threat Of the United
States to send squadron to the coast Of
the peninsula, 1t is to be said that import
ant centers of trade, like Bilbao, Santan-
der. Gijon, Corunna and vigo. could
promptly be put into a respectable state of
submarine and land defenses and the in
habitants everywhere have already vol
unteered with men and money to coop
crate with the authorities. The arsenals,
such as Ferrol and Cadiz. are well provided
with funds and batteries armed with mod
ern heavy guns, while the approaches have
extensive submarine defenses.
Numerous torpedo boats are attached to
both these ports and the same can be said
of Carthagena and Ceuta, while prepara-
tions for defense are being actively pushed
at Barcelona and several other ports, as
well as the Balearic islands. For some
hours yesterday tho authorities at Cadkz
put land and sea forces and batteries
through a sham defense against attacks
from the seasin the presence of thousands
of inhabitants, who lined the walls and
esplanades and showed much enthusiasm
over the excellence of the artillery prac-
tfce.
The latest reports from Cuba show that
Gen. Luque has been able to detach few
battalions and one mountain battery I'M
der Col Escarce to reinforce Santiago.
The Spaniards during recent fight took
several prisoners, who complained of suf-
fering from lack of provisions and the ex-
cessive heat. The American prisoners re-
ported also that there was a good deal of
sickness in the American forces.
Admiral Cervera has been authorized to
act at his discretion, either to cooperate
in the defense of Santiago or to make u
scrtie. The Spanish officers lay great
stress on the probability of rupture be-
tween Calixto Garcia and Maxine Gomez.
The latter Is incensed at the special atten-
ton shown by the Americans to Garcia,
Sanguilly, Rabi, Castillo and other chiefs,
while not only discarding the Oldest leader
of the rising but providing him sparingly
with the supplies he so seriously needs.

DIED FOR HIS BOY
Fresno County Father Loses His Life
TRYING to Save His Son

FRESNO, June 2S.-Sam c. Smith and
his s-year-old stepson, Tommy Condray,
were run down and killed by the north
bound passenger train at Herndon this
morning about 1120 o'clock. Smith was a
saloon keeper at Herndon and had gone to
the pump house, accompanied by his little
stepson, to chat with friend. While he
was talking in the pump house the lad
was outside playing with some companions.
Shortly after Smith heard the train whistle
and went out to look for his boy. Tommy
was on the other side of the track. but on
catching sight of him started to cross over
toward him. The train was very near by
this time and the agonized father saw
that 1t was all over with the boy unless he
could get to him and snatch him off the
track. 1t was a desperate undertaking,
but Smith did not hesitate. He jumped on
the track, but he had hardly landed when
Neither was run over. but both received in
juries from which they died. Smith was
dead when picked up. His back was brok-
en-, both arms fractured and his bowels

scious and the same train that ran him
down took him to MADEIRA for medical as
sistance. He died several hours later
however. His wounds were all ON the
head. the skull being fractured. An in
quest was held this afternoon and En-
gineer Neff was exonerated by the jury
as he proved that he had whistled and APP

The Sick and Wounded

TAMPA, Fla, June 2S.-The steamer
Olivette is momentarily expected and the
disposition of the sick and wounded she
will bring is question of some concern
here. The report that suffering soldiers
were to be brought here direct from the
Cuban shores without any quarantine de-
tention whatever caused apprehension.
The hospital train is here for the ostensi-
BILE purpose of conveying the sick quickly
to more northern hospitals, but at the
same time number of hospital tents are
being prepared in the camp on Tampa
Heights. If, upon the arrival of the OIL
vette, the government shows a disposition
to locate the sick men here a protest will
be made by Hon. w. b. Henderson, presl-
dent of the state board of health. Mr.. Hen
derson said today that in such an event he
would file a protest with the authorities
and ask that they utilize the hospital they
have recently erected at Edgemont Key.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
American Residents in Cuba Furnish
Valuable Details

WASHINGTON, June 2s.-Two men who
are recognized by the military authorities
as having complete information of tho
ground around Baiauiri, Juragua, San
tiago and the entire field of present war
operations have been at the War Departs
ment. They are George w. Pfeiffer, en-
gineer of the Spanish-American Iron Com
pany, whose headquarters are at Baiquiri,
and c. II. Zeigenfuss, general manager Of
the Juragua Iron Company. They were
asked to join General Skaters staff to as
sst in the advance of our army. They have
been comforting with Brigadier-General
Stone of General Miles staff on the best
means of getting troops, light and heavy
artillery and stores westward from Cen
eral Skaters present base.
Mr.. Pfeiffer says there were 1000 Spanish
troops there when he departed from that
place, and another 1000 al Siboney. They
were all equipped. but there was no or
ganization or drill, as in the American
army. About the only systematic action
was when the bugle sounded for ,ations.
Mr.. Zeigenfuss says the Juragua exists
only in name, as there is no town what
ever. There is a mining plant, but the
town proper is Slboney. This lies on the
coast while the so-called Juragua is four
miles distant. 1t Is between Siboney ana
the Juragua mines that Skaters troops
lie Mr.. Ziegenfuss says the ground 10
densely covered with underbrush, with few
patches of open ground. There are no
roads thus far. The only thing in this
line is trails wide enough for horse or
one man. They would be OF no service
for light or heavy artillery or for any army
unless the engineers cleared them out.
From Siboney west to Santiago the pros
pect for the rapid advance of our army 10
much better. Instead of trails good roads
begin to run toward Santiago.
There is practically an open field around
Santiago, well suited for the maneuvering
of troops. Mr.. Pfeiffer says the city has
practically no defenses on the land side.
There are no walls, no Notifications, NO
block houses and no entertainments.

man engineers. Admiral Camara. at his
present rate of progress, cannot reach the
Philippines before sixty days. 1t is report
ed that he is carrying 10000 tons of coal
and the second class cabins Of the auxiliary
cruiser Rapido are stuffed with coal.
Germany Will Land Marines
LONDON, June 2s.-The Berlin corre-
spondent of the Daily News says:
The following semi official note has been
published here, apparently with the object
of preparing the world for the landing of
German marines at Manila:
"As yet no statement has reached here
about the landing of German marines at
Manila, but 1t is matter of course that
Admiral Won Diederichs will intervene as
soon as it may become necessary for the
protection of Germans there. Such a
measure would have no political signifi-
canoe whatever. Neither at Washington
nor Madrid have negotiations occurred on
this matter"
The assurance that landing of marines
would have no political Significance is very
nice. The only question is whether the
United States or the other powers will
share this opinion. or whether the other
powers will see In the language an act of
interference, compelling them to follow
suit.

captured.
Admiral Dewey has given the rebels 5000

proclaimed today, is in reality effective,
having been initiated by Capt. Sigsbee last
week, when he turned back from that port
a British steamer laden with supplies. The
difficulty of maintaining blockade at this
port, in the face of the Spanish forts and
three Spanish vessels in the harbor, would
be considerable had not Capt. Sigsbee, by
disabling the most formidable one Of these
vessels, made the task easier. AS it 10,
the character of the vessels required to
maintain the blockade at San Juan nee
essarly must be of type superior to the
/ ships required for the blockade on the

of the vessels, such as the Detroit OF the
