Defenses at Caimanera, tlic Terminus of the
Railroad Leading to Guantanamo,
Were Reduced.
CAMP M'CALLA, Guantanamo Bay, June 15, via
Kingston, June 10. The- brick fort and earthworks at Cai
manera, at the end of the railroad leading to Guontanamo,
wore demolished today by a terriffic bombardment conduct
ed by the Texas, Marblehead and Suwanee. The warships
opened fire at 2 p. m., and the bombardment lasted an hour
and a half.
The Texas steamed slowly up the channel leading to the
fortifications, followed closely by the Marblehead. The Mar
blehead stood off to the west side of the bay and opened with
her 5-inch guns, knocking down part of the wall. The
Texas then throw in some 12-inch shells, tearing down the
walls of the fort and throwing bricks and mortar thirty feet
in tho air.
After badly damaging the fort, the Marblehead shelled
the earthworks and barracks at the west end of the harbor.
She knocked them into tho air, and when the Spaniard fled
from the fort, they were shelled by the St. Paul and driven
into the bushes.
Tho Spaniards only fired five shots, which did no dam
age. After the ships stood out into the .harbor. the.Spaniards
opened fire on the Marblehead's launch, which replied vig
orouslv. The Suwanee then turned back and shelled the
bushes, driving the Spaniards
DESTROYS CHANCES
OF EARLY PEACE
Departure of Shutter's Expedition Com
mits the Government to a Vigor
ous Prosecution of the War.
Wahiiinhton, June 10. A leading
member of thu diplomatic corps said to
day that the departure of Shafter'a army
of invasion into Cuba put an end to all
preHont prospects of peace. While none
of the foreign representatives had ever
made peace representations to the gov
ernment, yet peace negotiations always
seemed to the members of the diplomatic
fraternity as -litliin the bounds of possi
bility, and even probability, so long w
tho troops remained at Tampa and Key
West. Now, however, with 15,000
A in i f on ii us till lit ra it limit to take a noa't-
tlou on Spanish soil, it 'ih said tho con
ditions heretofore opportune for peace
have- undergone a material change, as
the United States is committed to an
nggresaive land campaign, and it also
makes it impossible- for Spain to adopt
any other course than that of defending
her soil against invasion.
The cabinet crisis in Franco may ex
ert indirect influonco on the present
war. Hanotaux, the minister of foreign
affairs in the present French cabinet,
lias been foremost in overcoming tho
anti-American spirit shown by the poo
pie and the French press. He lias,
moreover, exercised a strong repressive
influence on Spain. He was able to do
tills through ids peculiarly close and
persoual Intimacy with the Spanish
ambassador at Paris, Sonor Castillo, and
through him to have a considerable part
in shaping the policy of the Spanish
government.
The course of Hanotaux lias been
hlghlv gratifying to the authorities here,
and they would be glad to see lilm re
gain control of foreign affairs in France.
What is feared particularly in demo
cratic circles is that Hanotaux' with
drawal, along with that ot the Meline
cabinet, will bring some llery deputy to
the head of the foreign ofljee, thus giv
ing free rein to the popular ill-feeling
ugainst thu United States.

An English Divine Expresses the Patri

Country.
Washington, June 10. Hon. James
F. Meline, assistant United States treas
urer, lias received through Speaker
Heed a letter from Hume Elliott, of
Manchester, England, enclosing a postal
order for 10 shillings, 0 pence. In the
course of his letter Mr. Elliott says:
"Will you kindly accept half a guinea
as a very small token of a great regard
for tho United States in its present high
and righteous enterprise? It may fur
nish a cup of cold water to some mem
ber of your army or navy, bravely con
tending in the interest of Immunity and
justice.

Six Thousand Volunteers and Many Regulars
Flee From Puerto Principe and Neuvitas
to Join the Cuban Army.
NEW YORK, June 1G. A special from Key West says
that advices from the headquarters of the Cuban civil gov
ernment in La Guanaja, Camaguay, report that over 0000
Spanish volunteers and many regulars from Puerto Princi
pe and Neuvitas garrison have deserted to the Cuban patriot
army. The immediate cause of the desertion was fear in
spired by the proximity of the American fleet.
GERMANY DARE
NOT INTERFERE
European Powers Would Not Tolerate
an Attempt to Turn the American
Victory at Manila to the Kaiser's
Advantage.
New Youk, June 10. A World dis
patch from London says :
Neither HuBsia nor France, and still
leBB England, would tolerate any at
tempt to turn America's galhint over
throw of the Spanish fleet and virtual
capture of Manila to Germany's special
advantage. In the jealousies are a
gaurantee that America will not be
troubled by any interference in the
Philippines. This is the opinion in
high political quarters here, where the
utterances of the Berlin chauvinist
press are treated as of no account.
The arrival at Manila of Admiral
Diedrich, the German naval chief, it is
said, is simply because of the desire to
witness the operations of Admiral Dew
ey's squadron for nayal reasons.
ALL MUST SERVE
THE FULL TERM
Disgruntled Sailors on the Harvard

New Yosk, June 10. A Tribune spe
cial from Newport News says:
Those of the American line employes
abioad the scouting ships Yale and Har
vard who have not deserted will be
forced to servo their full time according
to the term of the mercantile enlistment.
The 000 foreigners on board the two
ships, however, maintain that the
American line and the government is
breaking the agreement with them and
norpietentlv refuse to go to sea, or it car
ried by force, to discharge the duties
that will be expected of them. The
British and German vire-coneuls Have
refused to interfere iu the matter, and
the only course left open for the men is
tn ilesurt. and if they do they tan be
apprehended by officers of the law.
