NEW YORK, June 22. A special dispatch from Santiago do Cuba, June 20, via Kingston today, says the Cubans have brought information to Admiral Sampson hat Cervera is prepared to make a desperate effort to ake his squadron out of Santiago harbor at the first fa vorable oportunity. The Spanish warships it is reported lave been coaled to their fullest capacity and the crews are refused shore leave. Every night the vessels drop down the bay in order to be able to embrace the first avorable opportunit to attempt to dash past the block ading squadron. It is said to be the Spanish admiral's hope to save at least a portion of his fleet from capture, and in the fight to sink some of the American crafts. 1 !

A Tribune spe cial from Washington says: A teriooB problem the eolution of which was determined upon by the au thorities today, is that, 0f the disposition of the vast number of prisoners who must fall into American hands whenever Santiago capitulates. The number is variously estimated at from 25,000 to 50,000 men, uud the United States will not permit them to suffer any avoidable hardships.

The captain of the steamer Adula, which has arrived hero from Cieufuegos learned there that the Spanish steamer Pur missa Conception, which sailed from Kingston on June Kith with a load of supplies for Spanish troops, and carry ing, it is understood, $100,000 in gold, and south shores until the volunteer regiments now In camp at Chickamauga and other places to a number exceeding 100,000 men, were active participants In driving out the Spaniards and relieving the horrible conditions which compelled the declaration of war, Kant a Clara. The captain further reports that while on the way to this port he met the United States auxiliary cruiser Yankee 70 miles off the Cuban coast. The Yan kee was the only war vessel he sighted during the trip. Off Santiago de Cuba, June 22. The United States cruieer Marblehead, under command of Lieutenant-Commander McCalla, has done some re markable work in the landing of ammu nition and the driving out of the Span iards. Believing that Guantanamo was a good place for the American army if it came, and that the sheltered bay would prove a good, smooth spot for the small er boats to be coaled in, Commodore Schley, acting under Rear-Admiral Sampson's orders, sent the Marblehead down to look over the ground. It had been asserted that the place was in control of the insugents, but Commander McCalla found that this was not true, for no sooner did the crui ser point Ler nose into the harbor than two four-inch shells flew over her. Dis covering the gunboat that had fired the the projectiles, the Marblehead made a target of it, and in a Ehort time the Spaniard steamed away into the shallow inlet where the cruiser could not fol low her. Commander McCalla took a look around, came back to the squadron and reported Guantanamo as a suitable place for landing troops. Then taking a i coiner wiui mm ne weni obck 10 uie bay, and under the very nose of the enemy deliberately tied up to the collier and for several hours coaled his ship. The Vixen and Gloucester, two con verted yachts, in the meantime carried on active work with the insurgents at Acerraderos. The value of making this place a point of operations may be better appreciated when it is known that it is half way be tween Jucaro and Man.aniilo, two en campment places of the Spanish. Be hind Jucaro and Man.aniilo and run ning down close to the shore to Santiago are high and almost impassable moun tains, so that operations between the three places must be conducted along the Caribbean sea. A railroad Hue was constructed from Jucaro to Santiago, and In March last General Paredo put a , large force ot troops at Jucaro and Man-1 zanillo. Bayamo in the interior was 1 selected as a place for interior move-1 ments and to menace the insurgents, and the work oi connecting it with Man zanillo so as to have a triangle with troops at every angle was begun. The operations of Admiral Sampson have broken one and the most import ant side of the triangle by putting the insurgents in possession of Acerrados and the triangle has been broken again by the landing of the United States ma rines at Guantanamo. In addition to this it is learned that the insurgents have torn up the road and destroyed communication between Bayamo and Santiago, eo that it is evident the threw stations of Spanish troops are thor oughly isolated from one another. The arrival of newspapers and mail on June 10th was hailed with joy, but much amusement was caused by the versions of the bombardment by Com modore Schley. The orders issued on May 31st were not to fire at batteries, but only at the ships seen in the har bor. No damage of any kind was done to the batteries on shore. The Spanish St. Louis, June 22. In an attic, clutching a bag of gold :n one hand and a crnst of bread in the other, the police found Simeon Hardin, a miser, slowly starving. He glared at the officers and shouted at them "Begone," hut they took him from his filth v room to the hospital. The bag contained $580 in gold and a bank note from the North west Savings-bank showing deposits of several hundred dollars. Ten years ago Hardin lived with his wife and four children in a comfortable home at Turksville, Cal. His wife remonst.ated with him for being so eco nomical, with his money and he left his family, coming to this city, and has been living in obscurity until discovered today.
