BLOCKADE EXTENDED
Five Hundred Miles of Additional
Cuban Coast Added to Block
AIDED Territory.
IMPORTANT PORTS CLOSED
Vessels for the Purpose Will Be Taken
from North Atlantic Patrol Fleet
SIMPSONS Fleet Freed from At
tack in Rear.

Washington, June 2S.-By procla-
nation issued today the president gave
notice of the intention of the government
to assume the formidable task of blockad-
! ing about 500 miles of Cuban coast line
in addition to the sections already
blockaded. This increases the extent
of the blockade fully four fold. The
demands upon the navy will not bt
nearly so heavy in proportion to the
territory to be covered, as in the case OF
the initial blockade, as the new block
ade coast line lies entirely within a
great blight on the south Cuban coast,
in which the water is very shallow, and
the ports are few into which vessels of
any draft could enter.
The most important of these ports are
Manzanllo, Trinidad and Tunas. West
of Cenfuegos, which is already block
AIDED effectively. there is no port to be
bockaded until Batanabo is reached.
This port is only about 40 miles from
Havana by rail and is believed to have
been the principal source of food sup
plies for the Spanish capital. For $50
miles west of this, clear over to Cape
Frances, the western edge of the block
AIDED territory, there are no ports deep
enough for vessels of any considerable
draft. and even If there were. the coun-
try in the interior of Pinar del Rio is in
the hands of the insurgents, and sup
plies could not be sent through to Ha-
vana. The purpose of extending the
blockade westward to Cape Frances was
to command the channel between the
s;I Il ,,ft hn Tsln
Frances, and thus render much easier
the task of blockading vessels.
The vessels for this additional block
aiding service will be supplied almost
entirely from the patrol feet which,
under Commodore Howell, has been
guarding the north Atlantic coast from
Maine to South Carolina. The blockade |
of San Juan, proclaimed today, is in
reality already in effect having been
by Captain Sigsbee last week
when he turned back from that port a
British steamer laden with supplies
The character of vessels required to
maintain the blockade at San Juan
must be of type superior
to the ships required for blockading the
south coast of Cuba. Probably some
such vessels as the Detroit or Montgom-
cry will be assigned to the duty.
In defeating the Terror, Captain Sigs-
bee has not only relieved Admiral Samp-
sons fleet Of the apprehension of an at
tack in the rear some dark night, by
this vicious little boat. but has demon
that an auxiliary cruiser is
amply able to take care of herself
against torpedo gunboat, showing that
the offensive power of this manner of
craft has been very much over-rated.

SPANISH TERROR DISABLED.
Auxiliary Cruiser St. Paul Attacked by
Two Warships -spaniards Compelled
to Retreat Badly Damared.

Washington, June 2s.-The Navy de-
partment today posted the following
bulletin: Admiral Sampson reports that
the Yale arrived yesterday and dis
charged the troops. Captain Sigsbee
reports that on Wednesday afternoon,
while off San Juan de Porto Rico, he
was attacked by Spanish unprotected
cruiser and the Spanish torpedo boat
destroyer Terror. The Terror made
dash which was awaited by the ST. Paul.
The st. Paul hit the Terror three times,
killing one officer and two men, and
wounding several others. The Terror
dropped back under the cover of the
fortifcations with difficulty, and was
towed into the harbor in sinking con-
dition, where she is now being repaired.
Later the cruiser and gunb0at started
out again but remained under the pro-
lection Of the forts.

eastern batteries. During the night d
loud explosion occurred on the shore
near Aguadores. 1t ~ sbelieved to have
been caused by the Spaniards trying to
blow up railroad trestle. 1t is now said
that Jaragua may be selected as the
permanent coaling harbor for the fleet.
Gustav Weinecke, an ordinary sea-
man of the flagship New York, was
drowned yesterday. The New York
was coaling in front of MORO castle,
from the collier Alexander, when
Weinecke jumped from the collier in an
attempt to get on board his own ship.
He fell between the collier and flagship
and sank at once. The Dolphin has
gone to the Havana blockade. The
Helena and Yankton have gone to the
southern blockade. A bulletin issued
by Rear Admiral Sampson says: From
Il report made by one of the wounded, a
nephew of Surgeon. Bcrryhill. of the
flagship New York, a considerable part
of the damage to our troops of Friday
was done by seven milimetre machine
guns manned by seamen, so there would
seem to be some probability in the re-
port of the use ashore of the crews
from Admiral Cervera's squadron.

A DYNAMITE BOMB.
N. Salmon Narrowly Escapes Death at the
Hands of An Unknown Person.

Saturday N. Salmon received an in
fernal machine through the mail. The
instrument of death was turned over to
Deputy Sheriff Huber, who carried it
to the jail and gave it soaking in tub
of water, after which he opened it. The
machination was cunningly contrived,
consisting of a clockwork affair which
was destined to explode chamber OF
dynamite by a spring, when opened. A
liberal supply Of shot was laid in the
dynamite chamber. The machine and
bomb were placed in bored holes in a
block of hard wood and sealed. There
was scattering among the prisoners
and other inmates of the Jail when the
deputy sheriff opened the block after
having it soaked in water sufficiently
long to render it harmless. Mr. Salmon
is congratulating himself on his FORUM
ate escape and the deputy sheriff is in
vestigating the matter.

maica, June 2s.--Lieutenant Victor
Blue OF the auxiliary gunboat Suwanee,
returned to the fleet today from another
investigating trip ashore. He reported
that Admiral Cervera's ships are all in
the harbor with the exception of one
torpedo boat destroyer. They are at
anchor and show no signs of activity.
Rear Admiral Sampson warned the
feet this morning to exercise great care
in shooting at the hills east of MORO
castle, pointing out that the American
army had advanced and our own troops
must be deployed on the hill side. 1t is
hardly likely any serious action will be
taken by the navy until Wednesday.
BY that time the army is expected to be
ready for another forward movement.
