Spain positively refuses to give up Lieutenant Hobson and his men, and to emphasize that refusal, Blanco an nounces that ho will hereafter recoa uize no flag of truce. Havana's Morro castle has fired on our warships. The fusillade contin ued at intervals, all day Saturday and tne shots were fairly well aimed, indi eating the presence of imported gunners, Affairs are izrowinrr worse at Mm. vana. The insurgents are raiding the province from all directions. Thev constantly harass the city, cut off eup lilies and destrov thft mails. An at. tempt by Spaniards to dislodge the Cu- oans resulted disastrously. The blockade is to be strengthened The fleet will be reinforced after the debarkation of the troons at Santiago Tlie ships ure to close up, and naval ofiieials say that all danger of Spanish vessels running the blockade will thus be eliminated. Food is renorted senrcfl in Pnrtn T?i Prices have advanced and starvation is imminent nmonu the lower cluquoa Since the bombardment of San Juan by Sampson's warships, the inhabitants of the city live in terror of a repetition of the awful experience, and reliable news is unobtainable in the islund. The Cubans renort fond Rtmnlips in Havana extremely scarce, and that the Spanish army has been placed on half rations. A Cuban oiheer who has ar rived in Key West says that in two weeks the whole poDulation of ( ar- ilenas will be starving. He described the people as livinu on palm buds and dog meat, which ho claimed is cnn. 6ldered a delicacy. The Philippines have been declared free. Insurgents have proclaimed n provisional government at Cavite ami renounced j-panish authority. There were great ceremonies and a forum I dn. laration of independence was read. Aguinaldo was made president and Don Pirondo vice-president. The insurgent government will not opose an Ameri can protectorate or mnnnntlnn. Preparations are being hastened for the third expedition to the Philippines. Five steamers loaded with troops will probably sail from San Francisco for Manila about July 1.

There is now n Probability that the islands will have bten formally an nexed to the United States before two weeks have elapsed. The achievement of the Vesuvius at Santiago is regarded as remarkable, and opens a new era in warfare. The effect of her giant shells upon the fortifica tions with which thev came in contact was destructive to a degree heretofore utiequaled by any death-dealing ma chine in existence. The captain of a German steamer which has arrived in Gibraltar reports having sighted tho Spanish Cadiz tleet oir the north coast of Africa, opposite Gibraltar Friday evening. The war ships were going in an easterly direc tion. The tleet consisted of two battle ships, four huge cruisers nnd four tor-pedo-boat destroyers. Lieutenant-Colonel Arna of the Cu ban army, who has just arrived in Key West, says that as soon as war between the United States and Spain was de clared, the Spanish guerillas in Pinar del Km province went through tho country districts butchering the pacifl cos, women, children ond old men whoso bodies lie in the roads and Heidi tiu buried to this day. A special cable from Hong Kong to the New York Journal savs that tho most severe and strong battle since Dewey s annihilation of the Spanish tleet has occurred at Manila.

Spanish power is crumbling in the Philippine islands. General Pena and a thousand Spanish soldiers have sur rendered at Santa Cruz. Similar sur renders have taken piano at Lnguna and at Pampanga, and in each case hardly anybody was killed. It is reported that Rear-Admiral Dewey is unable to restrain the insur gents, but their conduct is satisfac- tory.

Spanish Itenerve Fleet Leave Cadiz for I'likiiotrn Destination. Washington, June 20. The state department has received the following dispatch from its agent at Gibraltar: "The Carlos V. rPolayo, Eapido, Pa triot, Auduz, Osudu, Prosperiua, lr alda, Prelejo Colon (with the minister of marine on board), .i;onzo Doco, Canondong, Atnonio Lopez, Isla Pauos, Buenos Ayres and Sau Francisco, left Cadiz yesterday. Tho first 11 passed the rock bound for Carthagena for or ders; the last three had troops on board. This is Admiral Camartf's Cadiz squadron and appears to be in the Mediteiranean, bound for African shores." The army officials were satisfied, on learning today that the Cadiz fleet had sailed, that the ships wonld go to Porto Kico rather than to Cuba, if they crossed to this side. It was pointed out that this move would be the natur al strategic one for tbe Spanish com mander to take, as there waa still euiue Liiiug lufi, fur liiuui Lu save ill Fui uo KICO. The naval view is not similnr tn Hint. taken by the army officers. The former ao not attach as much importance to the fleet as tho latter, and few officers can be found to believe that tho ships will ever venture far from the Spanish coast, much less attempt to cross the Atlantic or go to the Philippines. The list ot vessels in this fleet is rather formidable in sound, but as a matter of fact it includes not more than two up-to-date war vessels, excepting the small torpedo gunboats. It is certainly tlie opinion of naval officers here that if Dewey had the Monterey with him he would have no trouble in repulsing the whole Spanish force, while tlm ! .

Starving and famine-stricken, convinced of the ultimate triumph of the American urms, and without faith in the Spanish soldiery, the people are believed to have deter mined to leave their houses in ushes bo. hind them and seek safety in the hills of the north. Tho scoutts declare that the story is accurate, and sav that every building of the town is' being rapidly prepared for the torch. The situation of the beseiged is fear ful. The people are eating horses aud mules and are scouring tho hills lor fruits and herbs. Occasionally brief bombardments by the American fleet leave the helpless citizens terror stricken, no preparations for defense be ing made. It is also stated that tbe Spanish gunboat at Caimanera has been loaded with inflammables, and will he burned with tho city, her commander declaring that she will never become an American prize. Tbe scouts say the Spanish soldiers are in almost as complete a state of panic as are the civilians, and that they could easily be induced to- sur render. Some of tho prisoners taken by the marines eay they believe the Spanish troops are on tho verge of sur render, on account of the lauk of food. Captain McCalla, of the cruiser Marblehead, and Lieutenant-Colonel IluntilP'ton. in command i if tlm mm rines, are not so sure, however, of the reported Spanish rout. They received information yesterday that a eeneml attack by a force of 8,500 Spanish sol diers and guerillas on Camp McCalla is contemplated within nii-bt Preparation was made for an assault. BEYOND REPAIR. Santiago Forts Ara ltnlnert by tlie American liuinbui'ilini'iit. Off Santiago de Cuba, via Kingston, Jamaica, June 21. A careful inspec tion of the hills defending Santiago harbor since tho bombardment Thurs day morning shows that the American iunners siircad wreck nnd ruin every where. Some of the batteries were de molished beyond repair.- The vultureswhich circled over the hills as thick as swallows around a nhimney tor hours after the firiuj ceased, furnished uruesoma evidence of the fatality among the Spanish sol diers. Hundreds of troops could be Seen from the shins fliircrim, in timiltnll! of er.rtii, piled by tho explosion ot the projectiles tiom the heavy guns, for bodies, while their heads were fanned by tho wings of the black scaveiniuiS of tho battle-field. There were two stints, one on the east and the other on tho west r.f the harbor entrancu, which were denuded or their foliage. The hilltops seem to be totally blown nw.iv.

Neither Admiral Sampson nor Com modore Schley believe that Lieutenant Hobson and his party have been killed.
