THE BLOCKADE OF CUBA.
Spain Trying to Prove That it is In
effective.
(Ry Tclegrapfl) ----

WASHINGTON. June ol-The Wash.
ington Post tomorrow morning will
say: .H. ...
The Spanish government is endeav-
oring to prove to the European powers
that the blockade of Cuba is Ineffective
Naval officers in'AVashington yesterday
discussed with no small amount of
interest the published statements that
supplies We're being smuggied into Gu
ba in large quantities.
Secretary Long. in speaking of these
reports to a representative of the Post,
pointed out that the Presidents proc
lamation did not propose n blockade Of
the entire Cuban coast. but was only
of certain ports, among them Havana
and Cienfucgos.
These ports" said the secretary,
are effectively bockadcd. 7 am con
fident that no ships have been able to
enter Havana. even white the larger
vessels OF the navy have been at SAM
nago. unless, perhaps. n few small
schooncrs may have slipped in at mid
night. The blockade Of Havana Is as
tight as wax. am also sure that the
entrance to the harbor of CienfuegoS
is absolutely closed. Probably at other
places along the coast some small yes
sells have been able to run in and out.
but. as ] have stated there are small
towns against which q blockade has
never been proclaimed | am certain
that Spain has no good ground upon
which TO aprcal to the powers against
the effectiveness Of our blockade"
