KINGSTON May 19.-Refugees who ar
rived here to-day from Santiago de Cuba
on board the steamer Adula, say the in
| surgent district commanders in Eastern
Cuba are moving nearer and nearer 10
Santiago de Cuba 1t appears that Brig.
| General Mindez, by order of Gen. Calixto
| Garcia. has brought insurgent forces from
the extreme east to the neighborhood
| of Caimanero on the south coast, and
| Brig General Castillo of the insurgent
army. has shifted his command to within
| 26 miles of Santiago de Cuba.
| Small insurgent bands engage in nightly
| raids past the outlying garrisoned towns,
to within about six miles of the city Of
Santiago de Cuba. They retire without
pursuit after their forays. The concerted
design is to cut off fhe meat, vegetable
and fruit supply of the city and produce
the effects of siege.
In the meantime the prices of provis-
ions at Santiago are even less than they
were three weeks ago, during the first
panic following the outbreak of HOSTILE
ties between Spain and the United States
and the expectation of being blockaded.
Small cargoes of -four, groceries and can
ers from Jamaica and Hayti and the
r,arkets of Santiago de Cuba are full of
fish.
senior Enrique Caprites, governor OF
Santiago de Cuba, in an interview printed
in La Bandera Espanola of May Is, is
| quoted as saying: Spain has 100000 reg
ular troops and volunteers in Cuba, and
we fight on our soil. Those of us VINO are
/! from Spain are acclimated, and we are
entrenched. Therefore one of us is equal
to two invaders-yes, to three invaders.
1--WE hear America proposes to assai|
US with 100000 men. Some reports say
1000 men and raw levies We invite
four times that number and will enrich
our fields with their carcasSes- me
greater the number the greater the glory.
Let us keep our hearts elevated by pa
triotism and thoughts of our wrongs. Our
| flag has been called the golden and
bloody flag of Spain. In our hands, it
| may indeed win that name"
The feeling against Americans at Santi-
| ago de Cuba is most bitter. The Span
| iards threaten to confiscate the pianta-
tons owned by Americans
The representatives of foreign capital
| lists WHO at first believed the war oufd
| be a short and victorious one for the
United States, now think that it will be
prolonged for many months.
Among the Adula's passengers are Mr..
Octavi Ano Quarry, a planter, said to
| have been the last American in Santiago,
| and Senior Vinent. Spaniard, secretary
of Senior Caprites, governor of Santiago.

had been killed; at Briggs Station, re-
port was brought Of many buildings
leveled and two persons killed; at
Preston, five were reported dead, and
then the train crossed the Mississippi
into Illinois.
"At Savannah, news was received Of

Savannah across the State, were re-
ceived reports of violent and destruct-
i've storms.
"The property loss by this storm can
not be fifty described said Mr.. Car
roll.
Eat Stillman Valley we had the first
view by daylight Of the awful devas-
tation wrought by the storm. A sec
ton Of the village about forty rods in
breadth was so completely RACED that
not a single piece of wood a yard in
length could be seen. Had the cyclone
veered a few feet northward the main
street would have been destroyed, and
scores of lives would have been sacri
feed
At Marion Mr.. Carroll says there was
very heavy storm Of rain, hail and
wind At Savannah hailstones measur-
ing seven inches in circumference fell.
After it had passed Stillman Valley the
storm turned to the north and wrought
destruction in Wisconsin. But for a
course of $50 miles 1t followed the east
erly track of the Chicago, Milwaukee &
st. Paul railroad, and left, death and
devastation in it's path. Mr.. Carroll
relates that at Dolinger Junction a man
drove up to the railroad station, gave
his horses loosed reins and rushed into
the.depot for shelter. A moment later
the cyclone, sweeping the edge of the
building, caught his horses, hurled
them through the street and killed
both of them So violent was the wind
that their carcasses were torn apart.

here.

south coast of Cuba. Havana is
connected by land lines with San
tiago, and also by one shore cable
with Santiago. The actual depart
ure of the cables from Cuba occurs
at Santiago, two of the lines pun
ming thence to Jamaica and one to
Hayti. The authorities are salts
fed that if the three cables run
ming to Santiago are cut the entire
system Of communication between
Cuba and the outside world will be-
at an end. Santiago is not a
strongly fortified town, and it is
believed there would be little dam
ger attending the cutting of the
three cables at that point.

p. m.-Two American warships
whose names were not discernfble
from the shore. appeared off Santi-
ago de Cuba yesterday while the
steamer Adula, which has arrived
here from that port with refugees,
was in the harbor.
They approached and drew the
fire of the batteries at the harbor
entrance.
1t is not certain whether the war
ships replied to the fire.
The firing continued from noon
to one o'clock. Captain Walker, of
the Adula. when coming out could
not see any marks on Moro Castle,
and inferred that the American
warships drew the fire of the bat
teries to learn their range.
