Americans in Peaceful Possession of the Harbor after Effectively Shell ing the Forts and Bombarding the Town Cuban Reinforce- . i ments They Make Good Fighters The Marblehead and Texas Strike Contact Mines More Cannonading at Santiago Strengthening Fortifications at San Juan. (Copyright by the Associated Press.) Off Santiago de Cuba, Friday, June 17, 7 p. m., per the Associated Press Dispatch Boat Wanda, via Kinston, Jamaica, Saturday June 18, 8:40 a. m. The week's campaign in eastern Cuba has resulted in the practical de molition of the outer fortifications of Santiago de Cuba, in anticipation of the arrival of the troops, and the oc cupation of the fine harbor of Guan tanamo, in which today are anchored such magnificent ships as the Oregon, and the St. Paul, together with the Marblehead, Dolphin, Suwanee and eleven other auxiliary gunboats, col lier and press dispatch boats, in an average depth of seventeen fathoms of water. The military resistance tb the defi nite occupation practically ceased since the bombardment of Wednesday. An intercepted official report of the Spanish military commandant indi catess that his military resources are exhausted. His soldiers are now on half rations. There are supplies for the remainder of June. The command ant has already seized the private drug supplies, in order that they may be devoted to the use of the soldiers. The close cordon maintained by the Cubans about Guantanamo is illus trated by the fact that official Spanish communications, sent in duplicate by land and water, liave been intercepted and the Spanish messengers, in both cases, have been shot by the Cubans while attempting to pass the lines. quiet in the Marine camp. For the past three nights there has been comparative quiet in the camp which the maries' hold on the crest of the hill near- Guantanamo bay and over which the American flag, floats. At tlusk volunteers from the warships go ashore and camp near the hill, to be on hand in case of an emergency, and the Cubans go farout in the chap poral in order to prevent the Spaniards from stealing a march on the camp. CUBAN REINFORCEMENTS. General Perez, commanding the eastern division of the insurgent ar my, called on Captain McCalla, of the Marblehead, yesterday and reported that he had 3,000 men, of whom 1,200 would reinforce the marines in a few days. Many bands of insurgents are now gathered along the coast, west ward to Santiago de Cuba. The warships have done no firing since Wednesday's bombardment of the fortifications of the inner harbor and the town of Calmanera. NARROW ESCAPE OF TWO OF OUR WARSHIPS. Since the narrow escape of -the Mar blehead, and Texas from destruction by torpedoes in the channel greater pre cautions have been observed. Both ships struck contact mines without exploding them. Each mine contained forty pourrdfe of guncotton, sufficient to destroy any vessel. . BOMBARDMENT OF GUANTANA MO.

The Marblehead then turned her at tention at the barracks and breast works southwest of the harbor and speedily demolished them, sending the Spanish garrison flying for their lives. As the Spaniards ran down the main land, the St. Paul's 4-inch guns were trained on them and several of the soldiers were seen to fall. The num ber of killed and wounded is not known. The bombardment lasted an hour and a quarter and was accom plished for the purpose of preventing a movement of Spanish troops from the town to the fortifications. CUBANS GOOD FIGHTERS. The insurgent forces, which have been armed and equipped by Captain McCalla, not only proved to be daring scouts, but turn out to be brave fight ers and good shots with the Lee-Met-ford rifles. Our own men are warm in their praise, and look for unexpect edly strong co-operation upon the part of the Cuban army . THREW SHELLS INTO GUANTAN AMO. Mole, St. Nicolas, Saturday, June 18, 6:30 p. m. News from Guantanamo bay up to this morning shows that na val operations there continue most ac tive and with the advantage on the side of the Americans. Yesterday morning at 9:30 o'clock the American vessels resumed the bombardment of Guantanamo town and in the course of one and orie-half hours threw into it seventy-five projectiles, a great ma jority of which appeared to have been effective. Six of these shells were 13-inch projectiles, eight 8-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 oth ers feH among the shipping and com mercial buildings near the water's edge. i Smoke arose in dense, clouds from the places where the shells fell and it is believed that the damage both by the impact of the missiles and consequent conflagration was very great. On Thursday evening the ships had thrown four 13-inch and nine 8-inch Shells into the town. This bombard ment began at 4 o'clock and ended at 5 o'clock. Much smoke and confusion were discerned in Guantanamo during its progress. Crowds of people and troops of soldiers were seen moving about and the vessels in port hurried ly changed their anchorage. MORE CANNONADING AT SANTI AGO. On Wednesday night the Texas pen etrated into the bay of Santiago, passed Morro castle and poured a well direct ed fire both upon that stronghold and the castle Zocapa. This battle began about 1 o'clock and ended about mid night. There was very little response from the Spaniards and such as there was did hardly anyjdamage. Nobody was killed in any of these actions on the American ships. Two Spanish officers who were cap tured, on Wednesday in Guantanamo bay are reported to be on board the Marblehead. The news of the work on Wednes day night by the Vesuvius and New Orleans in Santiago bay is confirmed. The Vesuvius threw shells into the water to explode the mines, while the New Orleans engaged the fortifica tions along the shore. The Marblehead has captured a Spanish sloop in Guantanamo harbor arid made eight soldiers who were on board urisoners. The Americans are now practically in full possession of Guantanamo bay and the white tents of the land force present a rather imposing spectacle. There is occasional firing from the Spanish land forces, but it is always inefficient and of no importance. CONCENTRATING TROOPS AT SAN JUAN. St. Thomas, Danish West Indies, June I8.i-The latest advices from Porto Ricfo say that Spanish regulars are being concentrated in the vieinity of Sari Juan. The port of Mayaguez has been mined and the buoys have been changed. Nine-tenths of the pec ulation, according to these advices, prefer annexation to independence. The British cruiser Intrepid, having on board . the governor of the Lee ward islands, has arrived at St. Thom as on a tour of inspection. - 'I thing DeWi'tt's iWtCh Hazel Salve is the finest preparation on the mar ket for piles."

Off Santiago de Cuba, Friday, June 17th, 2 p. m, per the Asodated Press Dispatch Boat Wanda, Kingston, J a., Saturday June 18. 8:45 a. m.-A hot brush 'between some Spanish troops and a reconnbitering party, in steam cutters, occurred at daylight this morn ing in a small cove west of Jorro castle. The Massachusetts steam cut ter, in charge of - Lieu tenant Harlow, entered the cove to take oun dings and reconnoitre. , When well inside the inlet a detachment of Spanish infantry opened fire upon the cutter from a blockhouse. The fire was. vigorously returned by the marines in the Massa chusetts boat and also by marines who were in the New York's cutter,, which was in charge of Naval Cadet Powell and which will be followed in. The New York's cutter was hit ten times and a marine in the cutter of the Massachusetts had the stock of his rifle shattered, but by good luck no one was hit. The Texas opened fire with her 6-pounder on the hillside and the Vixen steamed right into the cove and pep pered the 'blockhouse with her rapid firing guns. Eventually, the Spaniards retreated to the woods and the two steam cutters withdrew. The Yankee arrived here yesterday and Captain Brownson reported that on (Monday last while off C'ienfuegos, a Spanish gunboat came out to meet the Yankee, evidently mistaking her for a merchant vessel. The Spaniard, however, soon saw his mistake, turned tail .and opened "fire; Which was hotly returned toy the Yankee. The latter chased the gunboat until the Spaniard topk refuge in the harbor, whose forts opened fire on the American vessel. Thereupon the Yankee en gaged the eastern and western batter ies, but, seeing no chance of catching the gunboat, Captain Brownson with drew. During the engagement a Span ish shell burst over the Yankee and a falling fragment struck a landsman named Kennedy, formerly an insurance clerk in New York city, 'inflicting a severe flesh wound on his right shoul der.

A SIGNIFICANT CONFERENCE Between British aud Spanish Bepre- : sentatives Citizens of Spain Demand ing Peace 'Madrid, June 18. There is considerable comment here today over a long confer- 'i ence which has just taken place between the British ambassador to Spain, Sir Henry Drummond-Wolff, and the Span- , ish minister for war, General Correa. The newspapers of this city publish the text of a manifesto from the inhabitants of Catalonia, of which Barcelona is the capital, in favor of oeace between Spain and the United States, xne manifesto is signed by' thtrcy-nve- associations - and eig-hteen .local newspapers. It says "the present evils are due to the existing regime, which is nothing but a govern ment of disorder and neglect." After re calling the fact that the Spanish mon archs. have lost possession af ter posses sion, it says: "The United1 'States government is guil ty of unjustifiable aggression, but if the war is prolonged Spain will completely be ruined. A painful amputation is a hundred-fold preferable to a terrible and dis astrous war, and any transaction eventu ally made will not be more honorable after the country is ruined, the blood of her valued soldiers shed' and starvation ravaged a majority of the workmen's has homes. ' "Spain asks immediate peace, despite the opposition of those who desire the litter destruction of the country in order to impose their domination upon its ruins. The sooner peace is concluded the more advantageous it will be. It is the duty of everybody to endeavor to force the government to obtain peace." Spain Tnes the Yellow Fever Scare j Madrid. June 18, 7 p. m. According to private telegrams received here from Cu- ? ba, yellow fever is raging among the American marines encamped near the en trance to Guantanamo and several cases of the disease are reported to have oc curred on the ships of the squadron.

The . original plans of campaign for the "conduct of the war against Spain will be adhered 'to and will be pushed with vigor and energy. That decision was reached at a war council held at the White house today at which were present President MoKinley, Secretaries Alger and Long, General Miles, Assistant Secretary Meiklejohn, Admiral Sicard and Cap tain Ma'han. Of course there will toe some light modifications, made neces sary by the Changes that have occur red since the beginning of hostilities, but these, after all, will not affect the plans of operations, , General miles returned from Florida ! with- information respecting the con dition of the troops, difficulties to be expected in the progress of the cam paign and neds in the matter of trans portation and terminal facilities that will be freely availed of to correct the defects in the present system that ex perience has developed. The conference was . entirely har monious. The only reaison that the commanding general did not visit the White house yesterday was because of a desire on the President's part that his war counsellors should have the benefit of General Miles recital of his observations at first hand. MILES NOT IN DISFAVOR. The stories that there has been fric tion, between General Miles and his official superiors are pronounced to be absurd toy all concerned, and today's proceedings given ample evidence of the fact that the utmost harmony characterizes the relations v 'between the chief executive and the military branch of the government. There Were,'- of course, some differences of opinion among the persons present at the war council, but there has been no disposition in any quarter to resist for an instant any conclusion which has secured the approval of the president. CAMPAIGN MOVEMENTS. The official declaration to the effect that the campaign is to be pushed with vigor does not necesarily mean an immediate attack upon Havana, al though such advice has been tendered. It does mean that the very best ef forts are to be put forth to get the army in condition where it can ibe Used -with overwhelming effect at any point or points at almost a moment's notice. To this end the troops now in camp are to be .thoroughly trained and hardened, and when they leave the United States their equipment will be the (beat a soldier can have, fit for any season, wet or dry, cold or hot. With" such an army at command, numbering no less than 100,000, the fate of Havana cannot long remain in doubt wmen once this army is hurled upon it. Meanwhile the smaller expeditionary movements are to go forward unin terruptedly. When Santiago is captured,- the trained regulars Who do the work, there will toe rushed on to Porto Rico. If all or most of them are need ed for this expedition then the "provis ional force," referred to toy General Shaffer in his orders, protoaibly will. toe dispatched immediately from the United States to garrison the town of Santiago and to relieve the regulars. PrObatoly knowledge of some such in tention has led to the rumor which found free currency today to the effect that 4,000 men from General Graham's camp had been ordered to proceed im mediately to reinforce Shatter at San tiago, making the passage on the big ocean liners Harvard and Yale, late the New York and the Paris, which are now in Hampton Roads. As a matter of f act. Secretary Alger said this af ternoon that he had as yet given no or ders for the sending of troops away f rom Camp Alger, nor had he ordered an extensive movement elsewhere. The rooms Of Secretary Alger were thronged today by friends of the many candidates for appointment from civil life as second lieutenants in the army. There are, to be 200 of these ap point ments and it was announced this afternoon that they will be made public in the newspapers Monday, morning. THE CADIZ FLEET. Word came to the navy department through the agency of the state de partment that the Spanish Cadiz fleet was. still headed eastward today. The basis of the report is not known, but b probably the skipper of some mer chant vessel which has passed the r ;uadron; for the ships Of course have, long sintee escaped the range of observa tion of the lookout of Gibraltar. All reports relative to the movements of these mysterious squadrons are re ceived by the naval officials subject to confirmation;' for experience has taught them that the Spanish are free ly availing themselves of the rather pueriledevice of sending out numerous false reports of naval movements, in the hope to mislead our campaign di rectors. Therefore in the case of this last report, it may turn out to be un founded and that the squadron re versed its course after night fall and turned westward throush the straits, bound Tor the Canaries. RUMORED ARRIVAL OF THE PUR ISIMA CONCEPCION. No confirmation '-has reached here of lit' Troops, the report from Spanish sources thatl the Spanish fobd-laden steamer Pur-1 isima Concepcion has managed to slip into Manzanillo, Cuba, and if thia should turn out to toe the case there ia a strong disposition to hold somebody, accountable. While the town mention ed is not within the blockading lines, it is felt with due vigilance the vessel could have been captured by one of the American cruisers. The vexatious feature of the boat's arrival at Man- zanillo is that the large amount of sup plies that she carries "are 'probably within reach of the Spanish defenders of Santiago, whom Admiral Sampson is now trying to starve out.' There5 are other Spanish forces ,in the neighbor hood reported to be in desperate straita as to food and ammunition, who may. be enabled, if this rumor .proves true, to continue affective resistance for some time. i j TO COLL FOR MORE TROOPS. . Washington, June 18. It has 'been; suggested that, owing to the heavy de mand for troops, which have far ex ceeded the number originally. believedi to be sufficient, there will be 'occasion to issue another call for volunteers. Having in mind the length of tima required to develop raw material into seasoned soldiers, as revealed by the experiences at Chickamauga, Tampa and Camp Alger, there is no doubt the president will be forehanded In this matter, and that Upon the existence a reasonable doubt as to the sufficiency of the present military force, he will take steps to increase it; but before another effort is made to raise more troops, the war department will see to it that the amplest camp facilities are ! provided and that the equipment will be ready for the men. i EXPECTING NEWS FROM THE WAR EXPEDITIONS. There was much anticipation in offi cial circles tonight of the official dis patches telling of the arrival of the Santiago and the first Philippine ex peditions at their respective destina tions. Secretary Long, in response to a query as to the probable date of ar rival of the first Philippine expedition said tonight: "It is likely to reach there any day now. I should think to morrow." ".::" 1 Asked when word of the landing of the Santiago expedition might be re ceived his reply was:, "Possibly to morrow afternoon, probably Monday mofning.
