Siege Guns Landed and Will Soon Be Position, HIE SANTIAGO CABLE SEVERED Connecting Havana With Santiago Heavj Rains Drown tho Soldiers Out of the Trenches and Make the Roads Impas sableAmericans In a Position to Strike the Enemy on the Left Flank and Make the Entrenchments Untenable. Playa Del Rstc, July 13. (Irneral Toral lias sent out a reply to General Shatter's second demand for tho un conditional surrender of Santiago, made by tho latter Monday afternoon. In his reply General Toral referred to his refusal to accede to the American demand made on Sunday, and atraln reiterated his determination to resist. Notwithstanding this, the American batteries did not open lire yesterday, and the renewal of the bombardment will probably be postponed until today. when It is hoped that General Ran dolph's batteries will be In position The siege Runs landed Monday will also be brought up as soon as possible. Torrents ot rain fell Monday night, drowning out the boys in the trenches GICNKItAI. TOItAt,. and making the road almost Impas sable. Tills may deluy the batteries and siege guns. The volunteers, who are being hurried to the front, are be ing located along the right center in the positions which they have occupied by General Law-ton's division, whllo the latter has moved forward, extend ing our right until It almost touches the road to Calmones, over which Gen eral Toral would have to retreat If he should now be foolhardy enough to make the attempt. Captain Young, of the Hist, com manding one expedition composed of the Hist, Hornet nnd Wampatuck, Monday morning while off Santa Cruz succeeded In cutting the cable con necting Havana with Santiago, via Clenfuegns, Trinidad, Tunas and Man zanlllo. Fnder cover of the night Cap tain Young went In, facing superior forces, and located the landing place of the cable. He remained In hiding until daybreak and then cut the cable 15 miles southwest of Santa Cruz, In 10 fathoms of water. Then ho cut off 1G0 feet of the strand and towed the end In opposite directions, each for a couple of miles. The Cubans under General Garcia took Caimniies without opposition on Monday nlwht. nnd lmve entrenchments on either side of the toad. The Ameri cans are now in position to strike the enemy on the left flank and roll It up, making the Spanish entrenchments north of the city untenable. General Toral. realizing the weakness of this flank, has been busy during the existence of the truce In doubling back with entrenchments und Hxlng his guns in the direction from which he Is threatened, Most of General Ran dolph's guns will be located upon the heights In tho center of General Law ton's new position, whore they com mand the town. Mnndny afternoon tho Capron and Hnnes batteries, on the light, succeeded In tearing up the em placements for a "palm" battery, as It Is called, and In plumping shells into sever.il blockhouses on salients, but the shots directed at tho Spaniards In the trenches did not appear to have much tffect. Shrapnel was rapidly broken directly over the trenches, yet In flvo minutes the trenches at every point of explosion would be alive with men. They would watch for the Hash of our guns and drop before the shells ex ploded, ! Our mortar flro was directed at the Spanish bull ilug nnd toro up almost everything In the vicinity. It Is under stood that the bull ring Is being used as a barracks. Tluee large steamers lie In the har bor alongside the Phlludulphla Iron company's wharf and a small Spanish gunboat Is anchored at the head of the bay.

Two Would-be Hlockadc Runners Loaded With Proviilons Brought to Key West. Key West, Flu., July 13. The British nloop Wary, another would-be blockade runner, captured by the United States auxiliary cruiser St. I.ouls, arilved her yesterday under a pilze qrew consisting ot Fort nrrieer V. J. Allireelit nnd two men. The Wary Is a 21 ton vessel, and was loaded with provisions of a mis cellaneous character. She, under Cap tain Jeremiah Moss and three men, all Jamaica negroes, was bound from Klnsston for Cupe Cruz. It was first suspected that her Ilrltlsh flap; was a subterfuge to enable her to pass the blockade, but later It developed that her patent, dated April 10, 1807, was bonaflde, and that she was boldly at tempting, In tho fare of all risks, to land her outgo for the starving Span lards on the island. When sighted by the St. Louis the slonp was becalmed, und Captain Moss, who was unfamiliar with the water thereabouts, was expecting; a pilot to take lilm In. The St. Louis sent four or live shots from her six pounders, but as the sloop showed no Indication ot surrendering, the gig was lowered and half a dozen men pulled towards her, peppering her sails with shot from their small arms. Captain Moss said he thought all this was done In spoil, but when lie found himself a prisoner of war ho became badly f tightened and spent tho whole time between capture and arrival hete in pruylng and weep ing. Another schooner, lho Wickerson, was captured by one of the converted yachts at about the same place two days before tho Wary was taken. She was owned by two German merchants, who were aboard and who protested so vigorously that the prize was taken over to Santiago for a formal report to Admiral Sampson. She was bound from Jamaica to Manzanlllo. Tho prize crow of the Wary say that many ships are loading on the coast of Jamaica and getting cargoes of pro visions safely into Cuba by southern ports.
