AT SANTIAGO DE CUBA.
A Reign of Terror Prevailing
Among the Populace.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, April 2T (via
steamer Remus, filed at Port Antonio,
Jamaica, April 9).-(Copyrighted, 1898,
by the Associated Press).-Don Arsen-
20 Linares Pombo, Commandant- Gen
eral of this division of Cuba, proclaimed
four days ago that every man between
j. and 30 years of age must enroll that
night with the volunteers for military
service, under penalty of arrest and
military trial and death.
Senior Chucho Manduley, Magistrate
of the High Court of Santiago, and
known as an intense Spanish sympa-
thizer, one of the most prominent men
in the city, has left for the camp of
the Cuban Brigadier- General Cahavl-
los. He was accompanied by several
knsmen. and his going produced a
vivid impression.
The exodus from the city has contin-
ned by night, the Spaniards making
no opposition. except that a few men
have been arrested as examples. Five
thousand persons have left for the
country since the proclamation, four
fifths being women and children.
The Spanish soldiery now assume a
bullying attitude, and threaten to kill
every Cuban man and to outrage every
Cuban woman left in the city when
the blockade begins. When the Amer
lean fleet appears all the non-combat-
ants will be expelled. Though the Gov
ernor of the city, Enrique Capreles, has
seized for the Government all the large
stores of food in private houses. many
shops still do business with small
stocks the prices doubling day by day.
Monday meat was 40 cents a pound; {;
Tuesday 20 cents, and to-day it is a
dollar a pound Other prices in food
to-day are: Rice, 24 cents. a pound; ;
beans, 21 cents; flour, 19 cents. and
lard 30 cents. Chickens are 81 so
apiece.
The Governor announced to-day TO
quiet public alarm, that a ship loaded
with provisions was expected but
when, where from, or what her name
IS, nobody knows. The story is not be-
lieved

MINNEAPOLIS, April 3O-A Duluth
special to the journal" says:
Captain King, a diver of much ex-
perience, has arrived here. He says
he was employed for three months last
summer laying mines in Havana har-
Dor for the Spanish. He is thoroughly
familiar with the harbor and its
strength, but he signed articles binding
him to secrecy as to the location OF
any of the mines, and will not say much
about them except that the harbor is
sprinkled with them. Anywhere with
in the five-mile limit of the shore
from the channel into the remotest
part is covered with these mines, he
says Some are filled with dynamite
and some with gun cotton, and all are
exploded by an electric shock from the
shore.
When one considers what mine did
to the Maine" Captain King says, 1T
can be realized what strength they
have. The mines are round masses
about the size of a barrel, and are
moored to the bottom by cables.
Captain King said: 1t is not going
to be an easy thing to take Havana
1t may take two years. The bay IS
fortified for many miles. The haroor
IS wide but the entrance is narrow ana
fortified strongly 1t is true many OF
the guns are old. but they have some
fine guns of the Krupp make, and they
will not be easily silenced. l think
long siege will be necessary to take
the city. While preventing supplies
from being taken in, the forts will nave
to be battered down one after another
This done, boats can be sent in with
divers to cut the mines.
II know little or nothing of the ap-
proaches from the land side, but II Is
generally believed in Havana that the
mountain passes through which en-
trance must be made are all heavily
mined. Another danger lies in the in
surgents themselves. They are all ig-
norant, and if a clever talker goes
among them and convinces them that
the United States is trying to get their
land for itself they will fight the Amer
lean troops Fully armed and equipped,
they will put up a fight that will be-
wilder the Spaniards."

CoNsCRIPTIoN OF CUBANS.
Blanco's Order Shows Dire ExtreIn-
ity to Which He is Put.

! WASHINGTON, April 30.-Secretary
Quesada of the Cuban Legation here
said to-day that General Blanco's order
conscripting Cubans between the ages
of u and 30 in the Spanish army show
ed the dire extremity to which the
Spanish commander was driven.
Quesada says that up to this time the
Spanish authorities have not utilized
the service of a single Cuban company
or regiment, knowing that the Cubans
were at heart devoted to the cause Of
Cuba, and would take the first opportu-
nifty to turn their arms against Spain.
For this reason the volunteer forces at
| Havana and elsewhere, he said, are
recruited exclusively from Spaniards.
| Quesada says the present move to
raise Cuban conscripts will be futile,
and such Cubans as are forced to enlist
under the Spanish flag will find an op-
portunity to use their strength in the
cause of Cuba
! The Cuban military authorities at
| tached to Quesada's staff in Washing
ton ridicule the conscriptiOn of Cubans
| for Spanish defense, saying that the
danger which has kept General Blanco
| from utilizing these forces thus far will
be doubly great now that the Cubans
are aware that the United States has
taken up their cause
In high Cuban quarters the opinion
prevails that President Masso of the
| Cuban Republic and his Cabinet Will
remove soon from Sancti Spiritus,
where they are thought to be at pres
ent, to the neighborhood of Matanzas,
with a view to establishing the seat of
| the Cuban civil Government at or near
MatanZas. It is said, however, that
this will depend much upon the instruc-
tions carried by Lieutenant Rowan, q.
S. A, to the Cuban commanders. The
nature of these instructions is not dis
closed.
A singular complication over the Gu
| ban flag, which is five stripes and q
single star, may arise at an early day
| Numbers of small craft are plying be-
tween Florida and Cuba owned by Gu
bans. If one of these raises the Cuban
! flag and approaches the Havana squad
