WASHINGTON. June 2S.-The PresI-
dent to-day issued the following procla-
nation:
Whereas. for the reason set forth in
my proclamation, OF April %. 1898. a
blockade of ports on the northern coast
of Cuba from Cardenas to Bahia Honda
inclusive and OF the port of Cienfuegos
on the south coast OF Cuba, was declared
to have been Instituted and
Whereas, Is has becnmo desirable to
extend the blockade 10 other southern
ports
Now, therefore. I, William Mckinley,
President OF the United States, do here
by declare and proclaim that, in addition
to the blockade. OF the ports specified In
my proclamation of April! %. 1898, the
United States of America has Instituted
and will maintain an effective blockade
Of all OF the ports on the south coast OF
Cuba from Cape Frances to ape Cuez in
elusive. and also OF the port of San Juan
in the island Of Porto Rico.
Neutral vessels lying In any Of the
ports TO which the blockade is by the
present proclamation extended. will be
allowed thirty days to Issue therefrom
with cargo.

Acting Secretary Of State.
WASHINGTON, June 2S.-By procla-
ma ton to-day, the President gave notice
OF the Intention OF the government to as
sumo the formidable task OF blocxading
about 500 miles Of Cuban coast Sine in
addition to the section already block
AIDED. This increases the extent OF the
blockade fully four fold, It having been
confined heretofore to stretch Of lit
tie more than 100 miles on the north and
the, single port of C!enfueEos on the
south coast OF the island. The demands
upon the navy, In the way OF ships to
patrol the coast. will not be nearly so
heavy in proportion to the territory to
be covered as In the case OF the initial
blockade for the reason that the new
blockaded coast line lies entirely within
the great Blight on the south Cuban
coast. In which the water Is generally
'tiS tiic IoIto It" III
which a vessel of any draft could enter.
The most important of these ports are
Manzanlllo. Trinidad and TunIs.
West OF Trinidad is Cienfucgos, which
Is already sblockaded effectively. From
that point westward for nearly $40
miles there Is no point to be blockaded
until Batabano Is reached. This port Is
distant only about forty miles from Efa-
yana By rail and is believed 10 have
been the principal source OF food sup
piles for the Spanish capital /. For $50
miles west of this, clear over to Cape
Frpnces, the western edge OF the block
AIDED territory. there nre no ports far
deep vessels of any considerable draft,
and\ even II there were the country In
the interior. Pinar del Rio, Is in the
hands OF the insurgents and supplies
could mot be sent through TO Havana.
The purpose OF extending tho blockade
westwir To Cape Frances, was to COM
mand The channel between the west side
OF the Isle OF Pines and Cape Frances,
and thus render much .easicr the task
OF the blackadlng Of vessels.

The August pay day for city, employees ,s nou, fast approaching and there is no money in sight for many or them. inc general fund is exhausted. and more than 15OO men are wondering as to where the cash Is coming from to pay house rent and grocers' bills.
 Under Sheriff Clack, speaking Of the matter yesterday. said: We are up against 1t this year, the same as we were two years ago. The only thing to be done by the city employees is to combine and get one of the banks in San Fran cisco to carry them financially until No- vember. This, of course, means loss to the employees, as no bank will cash warrants for less than l per cent d month That means or 5 per cent TOT the time that the bank will have to wait on the city for its money. The percent age. or interest, comes out of our pock- cts. It seems pretty tough that sal arfed men. working for the city, should be held up In this way every year pr two There is never sufficient money 10 carry the city through from one hscal

 The Christian name of the plaintiff is very dim and for the purposes of the trial a correct copy was made and given into the custody of the clerk. After the production of the document, which has such material bearing on the case, Mrs. Quackenbush continued her testimony. She stated that her son. who was known as Charles Quackenbush, was the son or C. J. Moves He was born out of wedlock and prior to her marriage to Quacken- bush After her marriage Quackenbush told her to institute suit against Moves for breach of promise, which she did, but the suit was finally dismissed by stipula- tfon Later another son was born to her and he died in this city in 1888. Mrs Ouackenbush became bewildered at times at the rigid cross examination or Attor- ney Foote but In regard to the main issue she could not be shaken. The trial goes on to-day, and all are expecting sur priSing developments.
