CAMP McCALLA, Outer Harbor of Guantanamo, June 17 (pe- the Associ- ated Press Dispatch Boat Wanda, via Kingston, Jamaica, June 18).—The fol- lowing Intercepted report from the Spanish military commander at Guan- t mo was taken from the body of an unfortunate messen~er who attempted to pass the Cuban lines. It gives the official Spanish version of the attack of the American fleet in the capture of the outer harbor of Guantanamo a week ago, and discloses the fact that starvation is facing the Spanish troops in Eastern Cuba. This is verified by extracts already telegraphed taken Santiago de Cuba and from the fact that a number of Spanish regular sol- diers have surrendered to Captain Mec- ty of obtaining food. The CAIMANERA, June 13—To the com- manding general of the military division At dawn on Sunday ven ships appeared before the port of Caimanera and fired grape shot a 11 kinds of projectiles on the Playa d and the Cayo Toro, until they set fi o the houses of the pilo pied by a detachment of American marines.

From Caracole: allles on with war transports, a variabl umber of armed ships, other vessels of less than four, fall on them where damage can be done. I remain in_Caimanera and will only leave when I think it necessary. I have not been able to antagonize the American ships with rifle fire. Forts Sandoval and Cayo Toro fired their pieces of artlllery, but their effectiveness was interfered with by the shortness of their range, or when the ships retired to the center of the channel and took up a position in the middle of the bay. Sandoval has not over even rounds of armor-piercing projectiles and Caimanera battery did not fire, re- serving its fire until the ships entered the channel, which 1s where its guns reach. I am told that the insurgent forces at Baracoa have come down to Signabos, being apparently greatly pleased at noting the American squadron has taken poses- slon of the outer bay as if for a base of operations, the American ships having orts. I am continuing to serve out half ra- tions of everything and in that way I shall be able to reach to the end of the month only, especially in bread. I have no flour of any kind, as I have previous- 1y said, and I have no way of getting any, as there has been no grain here for some time past. We are equally short of qui- nine in the hospitals. However, I have taken possession of the private drug stores and will have enough until the end of the month. The town is suffering form privation. On Saturday we had only twenty wounded. At Craigo Morro the cable- house was riddled with shell, but it still stands, and if the Americans abandon the port, which I doubt, everything possible will be done to re-establish communica- tion, to which end 1 ready. To-day there is in the harvor a large armored vessel, the Oregon, and seven more vessels, with a large transport, the St. Paul, which appears to be a store ship. They patrol the Playa with armed jaunches. I returned to Caimanera after seelng the bearer of this dispatch start- ed. e is worthy of my confidence. As a messenger of brigade he has rendered me great service. y sea I have a ready Youth, who has served in the navy and who volunteered to go. I earnestly rec- ommend him to your Excellency, should he arrive. FELIX PAREJA, Advanees made on furniture and pianos, with or witbout remova® 4.
