Spanish Cannon at Santiago de Cuba

Santiago de Cuba, Aug. 14.-Several
days ago it was discovered that the
two modern 6-inch Spanish guns COM
prlsing the. Punta SGorda battery,
which commands the entrance to the
harbor of Santiago, were missing.
This battery and the guns Of tie Sa-
copia battery were the only modern
cannon employed by the Spanish
against. the United States warships,
with the exception of those landed
from the. Spanish. cruisers. During
the day the harbor police discovered
the guns, which had been carried to
forest onethe other side of the bay
and been broken by explosives, ready
for shipment as old metal. =
: Several Spanish ships had been
searched by the police, who had ex-
pected to discoved that the guns were
being shipped by the Spaniards to
Spain. The sentries guarding them
were removed six months ago. It was
considered impossible to carry off the
guns and there was no fear of ma
hcious destruction. The thieves are
now in Jail.
