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.

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

The captain further reports that while
on the way to this port he met the

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.
