Cuban spy who was recently in Santiago de Cuba says a reign of ter ror exists among all classes there, ow ing to' the nightly attacks of the Ve suvius with the terrible explosion of her dynamite shells. A week ago to night one of her shells, striking Cayo Smith, - demolished several warehouses and a fort there, besides dismounting several guns. Windows, it also ap pears, were broken in the city and the general effect was similar to that of an earthquake, among the soldiers and citizens. - - CO-OPERATION OF THE AMERI CAN AND CUBAN ARMIES.

General Calxto Gar cia, wiin, u.uuu tjuDan insurgents irom the mountains west of Santiago de Cu ba, was landed here today. The Cu ban troops were brought here on board the American transports. ; Fully 5,000 insurgents, nearly, the entire available fighting force of .tlhe insurgents in the southern part of Santiago de Cuba concentrated at or province, are novy near Jaragua. Three-fourths of them are armed with modern rifles and have abundant supplies of ammunition. The soldiers are almost reduced to naked ness. Most of these men arcthordugh- ly accustomed, .to the bushwhacking methods of. the .Spaniards and are- per fectly familiar with every trail in the vicinity of Santiago de Cuba. With the Intention to protect the American advance on Santiago, detachments will also" be sent towards Guantanamo to give warning in case an attempt is made to form a Junction with General Parido's army In Santiago. - - A conference between Major General J snaiier ana uenerai ;uareia wm ; De held1, tomorrow. The planr.of co-opera tion of the American and Cuban ar mies has been agreed - upon,, not J only in the campaign in Santiago,- but the subsequent movement on Havana and Matanzas. .- . GARCIA'S PLAN. " General Garcia's plan is to march his j entire army ever land and along- the nortnern coast or .uyDa,- Keeping in touch as well as he can with the Unit ed States army. As goon as possible he will effect a junction with' the insur gent forces Under General Maximo Go- ; tnez, who is now west of Havana. Oth er bodies of insurgents, it is said, will , also be brought in, it being the .plan '. of the Cuban leaders to have at least' 20,000 men before Havana when the time comes for the investment of that city. ... . ' , - - INVESTING SANTIAGO. On the Rio "Guama, Sunday, June 26, noon, via Kingston, Jamaica,' June 27, (9a. m. The advance force of the American army rests on this stream with the city of Santiago de Cuba ur and a half miles westward in plain sight. . , Last night, the outposts, consisting of t,wo companies", of the Seventh in fantry, under iMaJor- Collidge, occupied positions at right angles to the road, guarding the I crossing a mile and a half beyond Sabinaila, where three regiments of General Lawton's divis ion camped, the First, the Fourth and the Seventeenth. The Eighth, Second and Twenty-second . Masachus'etts, with the rough-riders. Tenth cavalry and portions of several.other regiments were strung out behind them towards Juragua.' - About 800 Cubans under General Gon zales were camped around General Lawton's headquarters, but! less than fifty of them did scout duty ilast night. General Wheeler . today with the First, Secpnd and Tenth cavalry and the roughriders, ith dynamite guns, moved up to where General Lawton's outposts-'were last nigfit, and four bAterles of the Third aritllery and four Gatllng guns,' with a special de tail under Lieutenant Parker, were brought up and planted on the brow of a hill overlooking the basin in which Santiago lies. Not a shot was fired from the American side last night, though the front of the American line was not 2,800 yards from the entrenchr ments where the Spaniards proposed to combat the advance on Santiago de Cuba. Cannon hots were heard during the nights They seemed to come from the distant Spanish; batteries or perhaps from seaward. . The top of every hill and mountain 1 nqrth -and east of Santiago is; occupied by blockhouses from whence the Span lards 'can. view the movements of the American army as it advances beyond Sabanilla,, while to the eastward of the City, gashing every-knoll and bit of liljfh-ground, are Spanish entrench ments. -,ftie correspondent of the As sociated Press from an elevation j to the right -of the American line today counted thirty-four of ' these entrench ments, completely fencing every ap-? proacfr to the city. The trenches have been dug as the conformation of the grounds Admitted. The ends of the trenches, overlap where breaks in the line occur, thus securing compartively safe retreat from rifle , fire in case -parta of .the trenches are captured. Upon one of these works modern guns have been mounted. They can be plain ly seen with the naked eye. -Spies report that inside the entrench- 4w,ents "are four parallel lines of rifle its, houider deep.ana in rront or tnem are marked" ranges and several 'rows of barbed. wire ences. x 5MORB ARTILLBftT NEEDED 4rheVir4l obinion is that' more ar- iiBerv wrilt b necsssary before U will be safe to attempt to make an assault uon the Spanish works, as the fire of the rifle pits must necessarily be dead ly and 8?fBclent to ; demoralize V any force, no matter how iirtlliant to yttp courage when 'to&e4 Iby- wire - obr structldns.

' Off Santiago de Cuba, Sunday. June 26, via TCingston, ' Jamaica, June 27 (Monday), 11 a. m.--It is believed Ad miral Cervera contemplated making a dash out of the harborilast night. Four columns of smoke were seen at sun down advancing toward tlfe mouth f the harbor and two small boats, be- lleved to be torpedo boats destroyers, were observed in the neighborhood of the sunken Merrlmac. Consequently Rear Admiral v Sampson ordered extra precautions to be taken. The torpedo boat Ericsson and Porter stood very close in to the harbor all night, but no ships came" out. . Shortly after midnight the dynamite, cruiser Vesuvius fired three guncotton shells in the direction of Morro castle. They exploded on the ridge and behind the eastern hill. - The damage done is not known. , The - blockade continued without other incidents. ' PUSHING FORWARD.

He had been Complaining some days, but was up and attending to business in. the morning. :The cause or nis aeatn was hearjt trouble. ! Mr. Oldenbuttel was born in Casse- brock, Hanover, in Germany, Novem ber 29, 1849, and was aged 49 years, 5 months and 28 days. He came to this country June 24, 1866, ' and for many years has been in the, mercantile business- at Tenth and Market streets. He, was a member of Howard Relief Fire Engine Company, was foreman a number of years, was its president for ten years or more, and was chief of the Wilmington Fire Department "f during Mayor-Fowler's term.

Seven broke out rumor tlmes since the war to this t-ffet-t. have circulated, but life project had not ma tured. It required the Spanish move ment toward the Philippines by'.."Ca-j mara's squadfon to decide th navy department id adopt this bold stroke'. The first announcement today -through a bulletin posted at the navy depart ment the government's intention was ; received ywith incrtjdulity. There was a'suspiciiln that the story was be ing floated todeceive the Spanish gov ernment, t However, Jhen later in 'th? day the detail of thervessels selected to consti tute ("ornmJdore Watson's eastern squadron, wtis announced and official' orders'were liven to provision the fleet for four mojiths, it became apparent to the ast doubter that the government wasjin earnest in this purpose to dis patch the fleet to Europe. The three -vessels selected as colliers have Started already on their way to Newport News to take on a large sup ply of coal. It will require about a weelC to get this down to" Sampson's fleet, so. if the start is to be made from that pfint it will be impossible for Commodore Watson to get away be fore the 4'tff of July." This would seem to be an auspicious date for the be ginning of an expedition that will, for the first time in the world's history start from the New World, to attack continental EUrope. No attempt is made to deny that the government is influenced in ordering this movement by a desire to" check the progress east ward of the Cadiz fleet. It,. was. not believed that the Spanish admiral could be guilty of the folly of uncover ing his home ports in this fashion, but inasmuch as he seems determined - to lo so the naval strategists could hot do less than take advantage of the magnificent opportunity thus afforded ti strike a crushing blow al,Spain and therehy perhaps save 'much time and loss of life and money in the conduct of the--tedious.ma1if)aign in Cuba. THE CADIZ FLEET AT PORT SAID. to The determination to s'end- this squad ron against Spain was, the-outcome of aect official advices reaching the te and navy departments as to the igress of Admiral Camara's squad- on. These - advices give a list of the Spanish ships now nearlntr, the Suez -canal, .which differs somewhat- from te list given in the press dispatches jffitl by' Lloyds. The official list is as follows: Pelayo, Carlos V, Audauz. Osada, Prospering Patriota, llapido. yen(js Ajrea, iul ue raney, voion, Covandonga and' San .Francisco. The - additional information comes f rom official sources that this sauadror. "is at Port Said and expects to take on board, 10,000 trns of coal befftrt, enter ing the. Suez canal. Such a. heavy coaling will -take some time. It dis closes also that the admiral experts to mlake a long sail, and Is doubtless headed for the Philippines, a point which tlie officials. here doubted at first. ' - . . . This squadron is the most formidable Spain hds 'afloat, " in i total . tonnage strength of individual ships, armor and guns.. It is apparent that the main re liance of Camara's fleet is oh the bat tleship . Pelayo, the . armored cruiser Carlos V, andfTietwo new torpedo de stroyers, iudauz and Osada. The oth ers are auxiliaries and : colliers. As therejare. only two "armored ships in the lot-;.

THE SPANISH COAST. . When the- American fleet sails far Spain it will take ; with it complete? information: as to the entire stretch of Spanish coast with detail maps of ev ery harbor and its. fortifications. The war board has a mass of this informa tion before it today and spent a good part of the day t Studying Spanish charts and fortifications, with a view to outlining the series of. blows which are,, to be delivered at Spain at home. The Spanish, coast line is 2.J22 kilo metres long,-; 'of ; which 769 kilometres are on, the north coast, while 1,353 kilo metres is along the Mediterranean and the Atlantic on the south coast The coast is described by naval strategists 1 J 1,1. l nuiuyi a.ii luuunuuuuuii, wuu oiuut, -ous inletsand-gulfs. resembUng the -fiords of Scandinavia.
