Trying to Induce Gcmez to Betray
Cuba's Cause,

| Kingston, Jamaica June 23.-The Span
ish government in Cuba has been making
| advances 10 the insurgent leaders. en-
10 their cause.
One of the missions of Virgilio Lopez
Charez after he has reached Manzanillo
is to see Bartholomeo Masso. who was an
old friend and comrade of Charez before
the war. and make proposals to him.
Gen. Pando went on a similar mission
to Gen. Gomez, offering him large sums
of money if he would join the Spanish
forces and any position he desired in the
army. The lieutenant general of the
Spanish reserves in Havana stated OFF,
cially that Gen. Gomez replied that hs
would consent if he were placed in COM
mand of 1000 men TO go and fight the
Yankees.
The Spaniards who arrived from Ha-
vana on the steamship Adula have not
the slightest knowledge of the real state
of affairs, and believe the Americans
have been defeated and that the insu--
gents are going over TO the Spaniards.
Food conditions in Havana grow worse
every day. Gen. Arolas, the military
governor. published June 16 and edict for
bidding wholesale transactions in food
stuffs. and only allowing them to be sold
at retail and at prices fixed by the gov
ernment. Importers were compelled to
furnish within twen,y-four hours a list
of the stocks they have on hand. This
edict was directed against the wealthy
merchants who had stored up huge sup
plies and were selling for enormous
prices.
At the Villeneuva railway station in
Havana province. was discovered a xRe-
house in which many hundreds of barrels
of flour were concealed by Spanish mer-
chants. This was confiscated
The government has published a decree
prohibiting the courts hearing any claim
for rent amounting to less than 81. Sill

Two refugees report that they came by
railway from Havana to Cienfuegos The |
people of Havana they said. are almost |
starving. Provisions of all kinds are |
very scarce. Only those holding military |
positions can obtain any for themselves. |
The Spaniards are now beginning to be |

TROOPS FOR PORTO RICO
Thirty Thousand Men Will End
Spain'S Rule in the Island.
san JUAN AFTER SANTIAGO
When General Linares and Admiral
Cervera Shall Have Been Crushed
and the American Flag Shall Have
Been Placed ON the MORO, San
Juan VIII BE Attacked.

Thirty thousand American troops Will
engage in the invasion of Porto Rico
This number has been determined upon
by the Administration.
1t can be stated on authority that there
is no intention to delay the dispatch of
the expedition. 1t will be sent as soon as
1t can be got ready, and Secretary Alger
and Major General Miles are devo;ing all
their energies to its formation.
There has been no intention on the part
of the President of attempting to invade
Porto Rico before the fall of Santiago de
Cuba and the destruction of the Spanish
fleet. Several members of the Cabinet
strenuously urged upon the President the
advisability of sending troops to San Juan
Immediately, but Secretary Long oppos-
ed such action on the ground that the
fleet was now engaged in blockading Ger
vera in the harbor of Santiago, and it
would be criminal to weaken the force
at that point and thus give the enemys
ships an opportunity to escape.
The matter finally resolved itself into
the plan to invade Porto Rico az soon as
the operations against Santiago had ac-
complished the desired result. This plan
has not been changed, and officers look
for the commencement of operations
against Porto Rico within the next two
weeks.
In these operations it is proposed to
utilize most of the troops now with Gen.
Shafter. On account of the danger from
infectious diseases and the climatic con-
ditions at Santiago it is desired by the
officials 20 remove the Americans from
this point with all dispatch.
The transports which conveyed Gen.
Skaters troops to Santiago de Cuba will
conseque ntly be utilized TO carry them to
Porto Rico. while an additional force WIZ
be sent from the South as to swell the
total number of troops to 3J,0JO. Eleven
transports have already been secured.
and seven more are required for the
transportation of troops from the United
States.
As ne has done in the front Of Santiago.
Rear Admiral Sampson will direct the
operations against Porto Rico. As soon
as Cervera's fleet is destroyed he viii
proceed 10 San Juan, reduce the fo-tiii-
cations and pave the way for the landin.
of the army.
Il Will be possible for him to conduct
his operations with smaller squadron
after the Spanish men-of-war are out OF
the way. and the flying squadron. NTH
Commodore Schley in command, will be
formed Tor operations against Admiral
Canara's fleet, the CaEaEies and the
Spanish coast.

PEACE AT ANY COST.
spaniErds Realize the H0pcIcssncss
of Continuing the War.

Paris, June 23.-Le Temps publishes a
long letter from its Madrid correspondent
He has interviewed an important mem
Der of the Conservative party, who saws:
Peace is necessity. The great fault
of the government has been lack of cour-
age. Knowing that Spain was not ready
Tor war, ii ought 10 have accepted every-
thing rather than enter into a fight of
which the issue was not doubtful
War is ruin to us under the present
conditions. Our colonial empire is lost.
Ii will be puerile 10 have any illusions.
There are also in preparation dangers
that are always possible in our country
The government ought to disband the
colonial army. The soldiers should re-
ceive their leave in Cuba. They could be
embarked in patches. disarmed and sen.
back to the Peninsula. and the officers
would return after the men had been sent
to their homes.
People might not understand why we
should abandon our colonies without
lighting. but statesmen ought to look in
to the future. They will commit a crime
against their country if they allow the
war to go on.
I'VE must have peace, cost what it
may. 1t will save us from ruin, and also
save the monarchy. 1t is the only means
of driving off the dangers of civil war or
frightful demagogy."

CUBAN PORTS CLOSED.
Vessels Carrying ProNiSions Cam
not Clear for ThcEt.

Secretary OF the Treasury Gage has is
sued an order which will stop all COM
merce between the United States and
Spanish ports in the West Indies.
Heretofore there has been nothing TO
prevent vessels flying 4 neutral flag
clearing from ports in the United States
for ports in Cuba and Porto Rico. which
are not biockaded. The order OF prevents
the clearance OF such vessels for any
Spanish West Indian ports with cargoes
that might be in any way useful TO the
Spanish troops without regard 10 whether
the por; for which clearance IS desired
is blockaded or not.
This will prevent any supplies from the
United States reaching Havana or anv
other point where Spanish troops are To-
Gated by being taken TO some port not
blockaded and thence transported over
lanr to the place where they are wanted
Secretary Gage has authority conferred
upon him by Congress to stop the expor-
tation of coal and supplies from the
United States 10 ports now under Span
ish jurisdiction. II is not probable any
such action will be taken as il is known
where every vessel of the Spanish navy
is located. and there is no danger that
any shipments to neutral ports will fall
into Spanish hands

General Blanco has not been attacked
by anyone in any way nor is he wounded
He drives about Havana evenings. visits
the batteries day and night. and overlooks
the outside zones, always accompanied by
only one adjutant.
1t is known that exchange of the Mer-
rimac prisoners was refused because It
was understood Hobson and his men could
have known all about the Cuban port by
examining its defenses, and prudence ad-
Vised not to give them their freedom.
1t has been deereed that ships fiyinc
hagS OF truce are not to be allowed nearer
the harbor than six miles, in order that
they may not make observations of the
fortifications. The United States gunboat
Maple has approached the land frequently
lately and has been seen to make signals
Cen Blanco does not absolutely refuse
TO exchange prisoners, nor does Parlia-
ment, but he does insist that proposals
shall be made in due form.

and In Santiago great enthusiasm is re-
