that Danford opposed giving them the
right of suffrage, but VINO voted for him

bolt him if nominated. The strong
opposition to Danford from SO many

BLANCO'S VAIN HOPE.
Spanish Captain General Attempts to
Draw the Blockading Vessels Within
Range of Morros Guns

KEY WEST, Fla. June 14.-Ss45 a. NJ
capt. Gen BlanD has apparently not yet
abandoned the hope of Turing the Ameri-
can warships within range of the Havana
batteries. He tried it again of Friday
morning last, but with no better success
than on his previous attempts.
Advices received here to-day are to the
effect that five Spanish ships ran out to
the mouth of Havana harbor on the day
mentioned and headed in an esterly direc-
tion. The vessels of the blockadng
squad on were lying well off shore, the
nearest not being closer than 20e0 yards.
Upon sighting the Spaniards they ran in
a short distance and opened fire on them.
The volley of shot and shell broughA no
response from the enemy: but the quin-
tette of ships speedily turned tail, and.
huSging the shore, under the batteries,
ran back into the harbor The American
warships, however. did not accept the
bait and made no further attempt to mo-
lest them. The character of the Spanish
boats could not be positively fixed on ac-
count of the distance; but, the American
officers who participated in the affair say,
one or Two were small small gunboats of
the class which has been manouvering all
along the north coast in futile efforts to
ofaw the American ships within the fire
OF the Spanish batteries
Yesterday afternoon three of the Hava-
ma batteries, the Santa Clara battery and

MAKING FORTIFICATIONS.
Marines at Guantanamo Preparing 70
Further Spanish Attacks.


NEW YORK, June IA special to the
Evening World from Mole st. Nicolas
says the auxiliary cruiser st. Louis has
arrived there from Guantanamo, which
place she left at 8 o'clock yesterday after
noon. The marines who We're at Caima-
nera were, when the ST. Lotus left, hard
at work throwing up breast works and
strong fortifications on a hill top behind
the promontory, where the guns will be
placed for better protection of the force.
Three miles east of Santiago there was
little fishing village, where a consider
able force of Spanish troops was station
ed. 1t was used as a kind of base of OPP
erations for attack on the American
positions, but yesterday, the World dis
patch says, the Dolphin shelled the place
and practically destroyed it. From the
Dolphins deck, the Spanish soldiers could
be seen running in all directions.
This dispatch makes no mention of the
fighting which another special dispatch
reported to have taken place at Caima-
nera Sunday night.

GATHERING WAR NEWS.

Ahe Difficulties With Which Fie.d Cores

correspondence Associated Press
oh Board the Associated Press Dis
patch Boat Wanda, in Kingston Har-
DOT, Jamaica, West Indies, June T.
Inc war correspondents who are tell
ing the world the story of the struggle
Tor Cuban independence meet with
some very interesting experiences.
Especially here in the West Indies
they are constantly getting into old cor
ners of civilization. Conditions are
met here which the average American
could hardly believe to exist anywhere
in the world where Bibles and text
books have been seen.
Since the news center changed from
Key West to the southern coast Of
Cuba it has been necessary to cable
all matter from West Indian points.
The Island Of Jamaica is the nearest
point to Santiago de Cuba, and most
of the dispatch boats have made for
the various ports of Jamaica with their
news. The result is that the cable Of
fees have been swamped with mes
sages, and no matter how important
the news may be, nothing more than
the brlefest bulletin can reach the
United States for period Of from AS
hours to one week after the copy is
filed
The readers of the American news
papers have frequently been prefiXed
to a cable dispatch from these tropical
points the words delayed in trans
mission" That expression is truth
full as far as it goes, but the words "de-
layed by lack of facilities" would ex-
plain the situation much more truth
fully.
For two days the Wanda has been
lying here in the beautiful harbor Of
Kingston. Under the clear blue water
a few fathoms beneath her keel sleeps
the sunken city CT Port Royal More
than two centuries ago, on a June
night lin fact, June this very night
IS the anniversary of the occurrence9 a
great earthquake shook the island and
the city went down. 1t was the home
Of the old Spanish pirate kings, and
in the midst of a night of lavish re-
VERY and debauchery the sea sWal-
lowed them up. Not a stones throw
from our boat a red buoy swings and
rocks in the moonlight. 1t marks the
spot where the old city's cathedral
sank. The tall spire still lifts its pin
nacle up into the sea and the buoy is
placed there to prevent ships Of heavy
draft from striking it. When the sun
light penetrates the water at the right
angle the mud covered roofs of the old
city may still be seen. The natives
never trouble themselves about this
buried city. They are content to go
on dreaming through the various gen
erations hoping that another earth
quake will never come.
A few hundred yards away is the
city Of Kingston, with its narrow
streets and picturesque people. 1t has
population of 10000, and of this num-
Der only 5000 are white. The women
fill the places of horses and wheels
