by the Cubans while attempting to pass
the lines.
For the past three nights there has been
comparative quiet In the camp which the
marines hold on the crest of the hill near
: Guantanamo bay, and over which the
American flag floats. At dusk, volunteers
from the warships 60 ashore and camp
near the hiri, 10 be at hand in case of an
emergency, and the Cubans go far out in
the chaparral, in order to prevent the Span
tards from stealing a march on the camp.
General Perez. commanding the eastern
division of the insdrgent army, called on
Captain McCalla.1 OF the Marblehead, yes
.terday. and reported that he had 5000 men,
of whom 800 would reinforce the marines
In q few days.
Many bands Of insurgents are now gath
ertne along the coast westward to Santiago
de Cuba
The warehips have done no firing since
Wednesdays bombardment of the fortiflca-
tons of the inner harbor and the town of
Caimanera.
: Since the narrow escape of the Marble
head and Texas from destruction by tor
pedoes In the channel. greater precautions
have been observed. Both ships struck
contact mines without exploding them.
Each mine contained forty pounds Of gum
cotton. suficient to destroy any vessel.
The bombardment of Guantanamo bay
was not SO heavy as at Santiago but 1t was
very heavy. The spaniards fired only five
-shots and then ned. Three shots struck near
the Marblehead, but none hit her.
The ships steamed within $500 yards OF
the fort before opening fire, and then fired
with deadly accuracy.
: The Texas stopped in the narrow cham
mel in order to avoid grounding. but the
Marblehead steamed ahead and swung
around the south side OF the harbor. Her
first shots went wild. but the little Su-
vance. which was following her, found the
range and sent shots straight into the
of the forts, hurting into the
air bricks and dust.
? The Texas finished the business, two OF
her twelve-inch shells reducing the fort
to a picturesque and useless ruin.
: The Marblehead then turned her atten-
tion to the barracks and breastworks
southwest OF the harbor and speedily de-
molished them, sending the Spanish gar
rison- hying for their lives. y.
As the Spaniards ran down the main land.
the st. Paul's five-inch guns were trained
on them and several OF the soldiers were
seen to fall The number of killed and
wounded is not known.
The bombardment lasted an hour and q
quarter, and was for the purpose OF pre-
venting movement Of Spanish troops from
the town 10 the fortiHcations. The in
strgent forces, which have been armed and
equipped by Captain McCalla. not only
proved to be daring scouts. but turned
out to be brave. fighters and good shots
with the Lee-Medford rifles. Our own men
arc warm in their praise nnd look for un-
expectedly strung cooperation upon the
part OF the Cuban army.

With the advantage on the side OF the
Americans. Yesterday morning at $50
O'clock the Americans resumed the bonn
bardment of Guantanamo town, and in the
course of one and one-hnlf hours threw
inte-it seventy-fve shells. a great majority
OF which appeared to have been effective.
Six of these shells were 13-inch projectiles,
eight s-inch and the rest smaller. The
men In the tops could see many of the
shells strike in the very midst of the
town, while Others fell among the chip
ping and commercial buildings near the
waters edge.
Smoke arose in dense columns from the
places where the shells fell. and i; is be-
lieved that the damage both by the i'm
pact of the. missiles and consequent con
fiagration was very great
On Thursday evening" the ships had
thrown fear ls-ineh and nine S-inch shells
into the town. 1'his trombardment began at
O'Clock and ended at 5. Much smoke and
confusion We're -tiiscerned in Guantanamo
during Its progress. Crowds of people and
troops of soldiers were seen moving about
and the vessels In port hufrielly- changed
their anchorage.
On Wednesday night tho Texas penetrate

upon that stronghold and the castle Socapa.
This battle began about II o'clock and

body was killed in any of these actions
on the American ships.

CAPTURES . Republican Convention
By HAVING Hanna Men Elected
by Force.

by Force.
CLEVELAND. O.. June 1s.-As one Of the
results of the senatorial fight Of last win
ter, the Republicans Of Cuyahoga county
had to-day the fiercest and most turbulent
convention battle ever seen in Northern
Ohio. At the caucuses Thursday night the
struggle between the Hanna men and the
forces Of Mayor McKisson was keen and
bitter, and the outcome was SO doubtful
that, on Friday, both factions claimed to
have elected a majority Of the delegates
to the county convention. The convention
opened In Army and Navy hall this morn
ing, and the greatest excitement prevailed.
A large squad Of police was on hand. The
county committee of fifteen, controlled by
the Hanna men. insisted upon It's usual
privilege of naming the temporary chair
man. and sent c. W. Collister to the plat
form in that capacity. Amid a storm Of
shouts and yells and the greatest confusion
on the floor and platform, the McKisson
men demanded that F. L. Taft be tempo
rary chairman. Taft went to the platform
and stood beside Collister. Pandenonium
broke loose. No one could be heard, and
there were number of angry personal
encounters. The police charged on the plat
form, climbing over the reporters tables
and forced Coilister and every Hanna man
with him out Of a side entrance Taft
called for vote on temporary chairman
and before 1t ended every Hanna delegate
had left the hall. Mayor McKisson was in
a side room. ''-'
The Hanna men went to Riblet's hall
near by. and held a convention OF their own
choosing delegates to the coming state con-
and a county committee of fifteen
for the ensuing year. The McKisson men
In Army ana Navy hall did the same. The
state convention will decide which delega-
ton shall be seated, and the courts will
probably have to decide which committee
Of fifteen was legally chosen.

TOPEKA, June 1S.-(special) A serious
proposition confrents the wheat growers
