The lighting ships of Rear Admiral Sampson and Commodore Schley have battered down the coast defences of southern Cuba and have sealed up Admiral Cervera's fleet in the harbor of Santiago de Cuba by sinking the collier Merrimac in the channel at ita entrance, which the guns of - the fleet cover unceasingly. Scout boats, run ning under the shadows of El Morro, have cut the Haytien cable and now hold thirty-five miles of the coast east of Santiago de Cuba, including Guan tanamo harbor. Under the cover of the guns of the fleet eastern Cuba may be safely invested by land and sea. Admiral Cervera'e fleet annihilated and the entire province and its towns aad harbors seised and held after a abort campaign. Fine Base for Operations. The harbor of Gauntanamo is a fine bass for land and sea operations. The harbor is capacious and has forty feet of water. The land approaches are not pj previpitons us to BSntjagS tie Cuba. The low lying hills can be easily crossed with trains of siege guns and there are level roods at San tiago, thirty three miles distant, where s few mountain batteries, be yond the reach of the fleet, will be taken to an eminence commanding toe city and the Spanish ships. Gauntanamo ia an important place. It has six miles of water harbor and will be of great value to the United States as a navy and army supply sta tion, coaling depot and cable ter minus. The Spaniards made but alight de fence. Their batteries were silenced by the Marbiehend in a few minutes1 firing at 4,000 yards. A small Span ish gunboat ran away. The Oregon, Marbiehend and Yankee held the har bor, waiting to land marines. Where is the Amy? The navy 'a work has been done well. Daily and nightly ships patrol the thirty miles of coast, within easy gun range of the shore. The officers and men are ever ready, and impatiently say. What more can we do? We have opened the way. Where is the army of invasion ?" The answer seems near at hand. The Marbiehend returned to Guan tanamo on Wednesday, taking Capt. Good roll, of the marines, to survey landing places. This morning the New York, New Orleans and Porter were close in shore off Baiquiri, east of Santiago, where there are exten sive iron works. A large iron pier offers an excellent landing place. Possibly, one detachment of the navy will land there, another force may land west of Kl Morro and a third body of troops may land at Guantanamo. It is believed the city can be captured within a few daya and that Admiral Cervera will be compelled to fight. The destruction of the shore batteries now makes possible their occupation by troops, giving the American fleet opportunity to en ter the harbor, remove the mines at the entrance, and effect a joint blow of the army and navy, in volving the surrender of the Spanish troops in the Eastern provinces, now practically all concentrated at San tiago de Cuba; and the surrender or destruction of Admiral Cervera's fine ships would necessarily have an im portant, if not controlling bearing in closing the war. It to in this view that such a close watch is maintained to prevent the escape of the Spanish ships and, ne cessarily, the presence of the soldiers is required to prevent the defeat or the work thus far accomplished by the navy. Spaniard Preaalrlag Desperate Defence. On Board Associated Press Dis patch Boat Wajtda. off Santiago de Cuba. Thursday afternoon, June 9th, via Kingston. Jama ina, June 10, 18:30 P M. In Santiago de Cuba there are now about 80,000 Spanish soldiers, chiefly infantry, but with a fair con tingent of cavalry and field artillery drawn from the surrounding country. During the day, the cavalry skirmish in the vicinity of the city, returning at night to barracks. During the test few days the activity of the Spaniards has been particularly noticeable. Oxen trains have been their way to the batteries, ts have been working on ts, and there have been other signs showing that the Spaniards are preparing for a desperate resist ance. Some guns from Admiral Cer vera's ships may be removed to the forts. The insurgents, about 5,000 strong, have taken a position on a mountain to the westward. Two thousand insurgents of this gathering are unarmed. General Maximo Gomez, now about 150 miles inland, is making his way toward the coast. Admiral Sampson is actively co operating with the insurgents. Yes terday General Miniet, of the insur gent forces, and his staff, went on board the New York for a long consultation. where he found ten or a dozen wounded men badly m need of surgi cal attendance. Bandages for them were sent from the Suwanee. The cas ualties were the result of a brush on the previous night with Spanish cav- the correspondent of the Asso ciated Press on the dispatch boat Wanda, Ensign Gilpin, describing bis experience at the camp, which is about ten miles inland said : Insurgents of Little Consequence. "I found the insurgents a rough looking and mixed lot of boys and old men, rigged out any way, carrying arms of all sorts and all anxious to borrow anything I had, from my blouse to my revolver. Four Spanish soldiers in uniform, carrying rifles, marched into the camp while I was there and said they wanted to join the insurgents. They were enrolled, but a close watch was kept on them, as they belonged to the civil guard. A Cuban officer told me such additions were not infrequent. The Spaniards had Mauser rifles, which were in fairly good condition." Conservative authorities believe the United States troops will have to car ry out their plan or campaign without placing much reliance upon the in surgents. Several plucky young of ficers, like Ensign Gilpin, have made trips ashore and taken observations of the interior harbor and the fortifica tions, locating the exact positions of Admiral Cervera's four snips. It is hardly likely, however, that the Span ish admiral keeps them moored at the same place both day and night. More than once the officers engaged in this shore duty have had narrow escapes from falling in with the enemy's cavalry. Loudon, June 10, The Vienna cor respondent of the Daily Telegraph says: "Authentic reports have been received here that the situation in Madrid is advancing with the greatest rapidity. There is no doubt that a crisis exists. Spain will entreat the intervention of the powers almost immediately ;and confidential inquiries in this sense have already been made here." RIOTING IN TAMPA.

By Telegraph to the Mornine Star. kwpoet News, Va., June 11, 2 A. M. A dispatch just received from Fort Monroe says : "Intense excitement was caused at Fort Monroe to-night shortly after 9 o'clock by a dispatch received from the signal station at Cape Henry, stat ing that Spanish warships were lurk ing in that vicinity." A short while later a message was received from Washington instructing the commandant to be on the alert. Reports as to the number of ships seem to conflict. A lieutenant, who was seen after mid night, said he had been informed that a Spanish battle shin, two cruisers and a torpedo boat had been caught under the search light at Cape Henry, steaming from a northerly direction. As soon as it was reported that the enemy's warships had been sighted there was great activity at the fort. The big search light began to sweep the bay and signals were flashed to the cruiser Minneapolis, auxiliary cruiser Dixie, and dynamite cruiser Buffalo, which are anchored off Old Point. Quarters were sounded, and the crews hastily prepared the ships for action. The gunners took posi tions at their posts, where they were ordered to remain during the night. The ships' search lights were kept playing on the waters every few min utes. Iu the fort ammunition was hurried to the big guns and the troops ordered to their posts. Some of the officers were with their families at the hotels and buglers were dispatched for them. The men scurried "out of the hotels, half dressed, and hastened to the fort. In the camp of the Maryland troops orders were given for them to sleep m their clothes with their guns close by. THE NATIONAL LEAGUE. Special to the Washington Post. Bavanwah, Ga., June 9. From in formation received in Savannah from Tampa, through private sources, it is learned that that place was in a state of wild alarm Monday night, owing to the behavior of the United States troops. It was necessary to declare martial law, and place Ihe Georgia troops on guard to quell a riot. The report which comes from Savannah says. During a riot among the United States regulars aud volunteers at Tam pa, on Monday night, four men were killed and several wounded. The news censor at that place is very strict, and it was impossible sooner to obtain full particulars. The facts are that on Monday evening the negro regulars went to the city and started annmng Daa wnisKey. in a snori time they were hilarious, and attempt ed to take the town. While at the height of their drunken revelry a body of Southern volunteers came along, and a fight was precipitated. Some of the white soldiers from the North, it is said, joined in with the colored regulars against the South -eru boys, and a free fight was waged. It is said firearms were used. When the fight had somewhat abated it was found that four of the negro regu lars were dead, and several were dangerously wounded. On Tuesday morning business was at a standstill. The residents of Tam pa and Ybor City were frantic with fear, and remained locked in -doors on Tuesday. The town was immediately placed under martial law and; order was partly restored. On Tuesday night the entire Second Georgia regi ment was placed on duty to preserve order. It is quite probable' that one of the reasons for the breaking of camp at Tampa is the frequent rows between the soldiers from the North and South and the whites and colored. Your correspondent has attempted, without success, to obtain the names of the killed and wounded. Every telegram is marked "Censored." Clashes Between Regulars and Whites. Clashes have occurred between the colored regulars and the whites as well as the volunteers. A policeman shot a negro on Seventh avenue Tues day morning, but the wound was not fataL- The colored soldiers are re ported to have shot a captain, lieuten ant and private of Roosevelt's "rough riders" and two privates in the regu lar army. None of these are reported to be mortally wounded. Fort Brooke is a wreck and is de serted. It is declared by the property owners that they intend to ask the government to pay them damages for the wreck. They declare that it was all the result of the carelessness of the officers in not putting a guard to pro tect their property. The negro troops entered the stores and houses in Tampa and at the points of revolvers demanded goods for which they refused to pay. Three saloons were totally wrecked and their propri etors forced to leave their places of business. Every report that comes in gives fresher and more harrowing details of the actions of the negroes who are wearing the blue of Uncle Sam. THE COTTON ACREAGE.

JU KM Ya Hiii AIwiji Bait Work of the Nary The naval officers have been doing Splendid and daring work in carrying communications to the insurgents, sod tanking arms and ""ftng trips ashore for the purpose of gaining in formation. Upon the gunboats Su wanee and Vixen this work has chiefly devolved. Lieutenant Sharp, of the Vixen, and Lieutenant Commander Delhanty, of the Suwanee, have been daily entrusted with important mis sions and have carried them out suc cessfully. The Vixen's work has been chiefly confined to carrying messages to and fro, but the Suwanee has been occupied in a more serious task. This little gunboat has landed 800,000 rounds of small arms ammunition, 300 Springfield rifles, 100 carbines, 8,000 mac hates, with equipments and pro visions. These were handed over to 800 insurgents yesterday (Wednesday) about fifteen miles west of Santiago, the main body remaining in toe moun tains. The debarkation of supplies was tedious but uninterrupted. The in surgenta reported that irregular en- ts between their forces and ish cavalry were of daily oc currence. The Cubans were hard up for supplies and ammunition and were overjoyed at the sight of the Suwanee's SU, Some, almost ravenous, ed at the slices of bacon and ate raw beef.

Raleiuh, N. C, June 10. The Adjutant General to-day wired Commander Morton that he had in tended to mobilize the Naval Reserves at Wilmington on Monday, but as the Secretary of the Navy had not ans wered his message in reference to tentage and equipment, he would hold back and await orders from Wash ington. However, he hopes to hear to-morrow and as soon as the orders are received, he will notify the di visions to move at once to Wilmington and report to Commander Morton. The regular S. A. L north bound train to-day was two and a half hours bite and necessitated the running of a rsial from Raleigh to Portsmouth. Mary's school has closed and many of the young women left on the Commisson session con tinues dull and no information of great importance was obtained at the morning session. An excursion arrived at noon to-day from Fayetteville brinering several hundred people who are spending the day at Camp Russell. The boys at the camp are much more comfortable to-day than any previous day during the hot spell. The city to-day sent out a street sprinkler and watered the streets of the camp and all around the tents. It has cooled the place greatly. At St. Mary's Commencement Wed nesday night Miss Emma West, of Wilmington, sang a selection by Guonod, "Sing, Smile and Slumber." Critics speak highly of her yoice as one showing great promise. Both morning papers praise her singing and commend the applause received from her audience. Miss Oline Armstrong, of Wilmington, who, with Miss West, represents Wilmington in the gradua ting class, was in the first number on the programme last night. She skill fully rendered her part in a grand duet with Miss Allie Lee. Decrease as Compared With Last Year Condition of the Crop. S By Telegraph to the Mornlne Star. Washington, June 10.
