All reports relative to the movemer

nf the my.Krlous Cadiz 6(|uadron are i

eehred by the naval officials ßubjeet-inliii'ifitlon, for experience has taugl'a« m that the Spanish are freely ava

lag themselves of the rather puerile d

vice of pending out numerous false i

lorts of naval movements to mislead oi

iitnpalagn directors.Therefore, in the case of this last r

port, It may turn out to be unfoundt

Ukd tint the Bqua«lron reversed H

aourse after nightfall and turned wesa

va id through the. Straits, bound for th

Tanaiiee. No confirmation has «roaohi1ère of the reixirt from Spanish source

hat the Spanish food-laden srteanie

ur-rlstma Cone« pclon has maaaged t

Up into Manzanillo, Cuba. If this shouli

urn out to be the case there Is a stroni

lisposition to hold somebody accountable

While the town mentioned is not with

n the blockading lines, It Is felt tha«

vith due vigilance the vessel could hav«

een captured by one of the Anuricar

rulsers. Tho vexatious feature of th«

oat's arrival at Manzanillo Is that the

upplies she carries are probably within

each of the Spanish defenders of San-

iago, whom Admiral Sampson Is now

rylng to starve. There are other Ppan-

<h forces In the "neighborhood reportedo be In desperate straits as to food and

inmunitlon, who may be enabled, If this

umor prov«*» tru«j, to continue effective

eslstance for some time.

TIIIKD CALL PKOBABLK.It has been suggested that, owirn; to

y demand for troops, which have

ar exceeded tho number originally be-

¡ttved to be SOflolent, there will be oc-

aakm to lsniie another call for volunteers.

Jlaivlng in mind the length of tima re-

\StrmA to develop raw material Into sea-

soldiers, as revealed by the experl-

!ii es ut Chicluunauga, Tampa, and Camp

tiare Is no doubt tha President

rill be forehanded in this matter, and

hat upon the existence of a reasonable

oubt as to the »ufrlciency of the present

unitary forco, he will take steps to ln-

reaao It. Hut Ixrfore any effurt la made

ment will see to It that the amplest camp

acllities are provided, and that tho équip-

aient shall be ready for the men.

OF GUANTANAMO, Friday. June 17.noon, pev the Associated Press dispatch-boat Wnnta, via KSEOEtOE, JAMAICA.Saturday, June 18..8.«15 A. M..The fol-lowing Intercepted report from the Fpan-1 :i military commander at Guantanamowas taken from the body of an unfortu-nate messenger, who attempted to passthe Cuban lines. It gives the offlcl.tlSpanish version of the attack of theAmerican fleet and the capture of theouter harbor of (Juantannmo a week ago,and discloses the far* that starvation isfacing the Spanish 'troops in EasternCuha.This is verified by extract« already tele-

graphod. taken from a recent issue of a

newspaper of Santiago do Cuba, andfrom the fact that a number of Spanishregular soldiers have surrend«red to Cap-tain McCaHa, ofletrlng sji a reason foruj doing the. neoesatty of obtaining food.

A.'.DHMM Or PROJECTILES.The letter reads as follows:"Caimanera, June 13..To the General

Comrnandrfn'T the Military Division of San-tiago do Cuba: At dawn on Saturdayseven ships appeared before the port ofCaimanera and fired grape-shot and allkinds of projectiles on the Playa del Esteand the Cayo Toro, until they set tire tothe fort on the Playa del Est«, burningthe houses of tho pllirte, which were 00>eupled by a detachment of Americanmarinos. «

"The cannonading, with more or le*sintensity, continued until 4 cfclook in theafternoon. As the Playa del Ente hadonly two nruzzle-loadlng gun« and sand11: trench Hi* ntfc, the detachment could donothing before six ships firing ou themfrom all sides, and they retired Into M_w-nagua and to Cuzco Hill, where tl»ey to*main to-day, making sallies on the beaich."From that day tho soldiurs occupied

Punta Caracoles, observing the move-

ments of tho ¿hip«», which occupy all ".hoouter port with war transports, a varia-ble number of armed ships, other vesselsof war and armed merchant-ships. Thetotal Is never less than four.

"I have also taken the Enr.nto Passea,and the vigilant gunboat Magnet I» here'rtiftdy to fall on them where damage can

be done. I remain In Caimanera, andwill only leave when I think it Is neces-

sary. I have not b.*n able to antagonizethe American ships with rltie-flre, as theships retired to the middle of the chan-nel or the middle of the bay. Bandovalhas not over seven rounds of armor-

pkrclng projectiles and Caimanera bat-tery did not flre, reserving its flr« until

the «hips should enter tho channel, whichIs where its guns reach.

AMERICAN« AT HOME.'1 am told that tho insurgent farces at

Baracoa have come down to Slgnabos,being apparently greatly yleaaed at

noting that the American squadron hastaken possession of tha outer bay, as iffor a base of operation^ tin Aid.*..!- n

ships having anchored as If In one oftheir own ports."Since Saturday the Americans have

cut tho Cablea which are at the entrance

and the centre of the harbor, and I have

not been able to repair them, but theyhave not aRain molested mo. except withtwo cannon-shots on Monday."

It appears from the work which Is be-

ing dono that tho Americans are pre-paring to plant the harbor with mines,or to place th^ir ship« so as to disembark

i at Playa del Beta» thels favorite

place. If this turns out to be the ease,

and I hive been the first to call yourattention to It. I would suggest that some

of our' vessels should come here. Themembers of the fire brigade are In goodpitlia I continue to atari out rationsof everything, but shall be able to reachto the end of the month only, especiallyIn bread. I have no flour of any kind,as I-have previously said, and I luxeno way of getting any, as there has beenno grain here for some time past. Weare euually short of quinine In the hos-pitala However, I have taken posses-sion of the private drugstores, and willhave enough to the end of tho month.

TOWN SUFFERING."The town Is suffering from privation."On Saturday we hud only two men

wounded. At Cralgo Morro tho cable-house was riddled with shell, but it stillstands, and if the Americans abandonthe port, which I doubt, everything pos-sible will be done to re-establish com-

munication, to which end I have every-thing ready. To-day there Is in theharbor a large armored vessel, the Ore-gon, and seven more vessuls, with a largetransport, tho St. Paul, which appearsto te a store-ship. They patrol thePlayo with armed launches."I return to Caimanera after seeing

the bearer of this dispatch started. HeJs worthy of my coiitld.-nce. I earnestlycommend him tu your Excellency, shouldhe arrive. (Signed) FELIX PARAJA,"Commanding Second Brigade, EasUrnMilitary Division of Cuba."
