Z Guantanamo Bay, July 12.-The known
presence of yellow. fever at Cai1nanera.
Guantanamo, and other towns in the
vicinity Of Camp MoCalla, and along the
coast has resulted in the establishment of
the strictest quarantine Hereafter no
communication will be allowed with the
north side of the bay, and no one will be
permitted to land from vessels entering
the harbor here without special permit
from the commanding officer. This may
result in considerable Inconvenience to
the newspaper boats. 1t also cuts off
communication with the insurgent feces
around Guantanamo under the command
of General Perez and the regiment of Col.
Thomas. EsN
The rules will also be rigidly enforced
at Camp MoCalla, although the general
health of the American marines is re-
markably good.
The Spaniards in and around CaiIna-
nera have been showing great activity
during the past two or three days and
their forces have been apparently in
creased from Guantanamo. The boldness
of the American launches in venturing
up beyond the port and the presence of q
large number of warships in the lower
bay have evidently led the Spaniards to
believe that an attack is planned at that
point.

BIDS FOR DOCKS.

Washington, July H. The navy depart

docks, the two to cost not exceeding $780,

Chief Endicott of the bureau of yards and
docks has been anxious to get some of
these structures in order to send them
down to the gulf and possibly to Cuba
where our cruisers, gunboats and auxilt-
ary craft could be docked in them with
out the necessity of sending the ships to
northern docks.
Two such docks are located in New
York and three more in and about New
Orleans. An officer of the bureau is now
in New Orleans looking over the docks
there in anticipation of their being offered
to the government.

INTO SPANISH LINES.
Terrible Fire Poured by America
Guns.

Before Santiago de Cuba, July IL, via
Port Antonio, July II, via Kinsgton,
July 10, p. m.-When the fra opened
from the American lines, after the con-
clusion of the armistioe, our men were n
a much better position. Capron's and
Illness batteries were posted on the
heights on the left of the line and in the
rear Of Bates's lines. The Hotchkiss,
Gauiing and dynamite guns occupied
crest on the right centre and on the ex-
treme right Best's and Grimes's batteries
were posted in the centre of Lawson's
division. Our right was strengthened by
a brigade of Kent's division, ths 9th and
10th regulars and the 7lst New York
which was pushed to the westward until
with Garcia's line it formed an arc reach
ing within quarter of mils of Camera,
which skirts the bay and forts.
The only road by which General Toral
could escape was thus commanded.
Small detached bodies of Spaniards had
been observed skipping out of town west
ward early in the morning, including one
squad of cavalry. A move was made to
cut off their retreat and o land lombard
ment began. A shot from the Grimes
battery was followed by one of Capron's s
guns on the left and in the right centre
the Gatling and Hotchkiss batteries
opened fire. For the first ten minutes the
firing was quite general, the Spaniards
replying spiritedly, but the rifle fire on
both sides soon waned, and from five
o'clock to half past six, when the action
ceased, the firing was confined almost
exclusively to artillery.
Our batteries soon got the range and
poured shells into the Spanish entrenoh-
ments. The Hotchkiss battsry swept the
outer line of the entertainments back and
forth, QUITTING down the brush shelter like
a scythe. The Spanish were soon forced
to evacuate the blockhouse.
A Spanish battery on the left of the
town, engaged by Capron's battery fired
only few shots, but battery on the
right fired spiritedly until gun cotton
shell from Woods dynamite gun exploded
directly in front of it, tearing ND two
trees and dismounting a gun. It was the
last shot OF the afternoon and was greeted
with cheers Two men in General Kent's
division We're killed by shell and several
were wounded. Sergeant jefferson and
Private st. Clair of troop B, 9th cavalry

SMELLING SANTIAGO.
Was Accomplished Successfully By
Fleet.

Of Aguadores, July Ii. 2 p. M, via
Kingston, JAM. July 10, 10 p. m.-The
United States navy has the following
problem presented to it-what is the best
manner of effectively bombarding a city
distant four and one-half miles, and con-
cealed by range of hills $50 feet high at
its lowest part? The problem has been
satisfactorily solved. So if the army
hereafter never fired shot and merely
guarded the roads the navy could make
Santiago untenable, if indeed it did not
totally destroy it in few days. Sunday
and today the sea was calmer than usual,
SO the opportunity for good practice was
afforded. In pursuance of Gen. Shafter' S
request Commodore Schley, Rear Admir- al
Sampson being absent at GuatanaJuo, at
8 O'Clock on Sunday afternoon ranged the
Brooklyn, Indiana and Texas to within
500 yards of the shore at a point almost
due South of the city of San tiago, dis
tant little over four and one-half miles.
The ships were about half mile apart.
The Brooklyn opened tire with ner inch
guns, these being the heavist calibre used
as yet by many Of the ships. The army
signal men were on the beach opposite
the ships and also on the crest of hill
overlooking both the ships and the city.
These men wig wagged the result of each
shot, telling the ganners if the shell was
aimed too high or too low, or not in line.
sundays practice was good but it was
better today when the firing WAS opened
bby the New York, which returned from
ia bay during the night.
H. n W IL
We're the ships which participated in the
shelling this morning. Each shot was
carefully calculated and the wig wagging
from the shore to the ships told where
