Description of the IMaeo Where Coivera's Ships Arc Said lo Ho Bottled up. Tho port of Santiago do Cuba, in which tho Cap- Verde licet, commanded by \dmitul Cervem, 9 ' . is said to l?e bottled up, is 'dtuuted on t lie southeast < on t cCuba. By land it is 500 miles from lla\ Mann, which is situated diagonally I across tho Khunl, on the north west coast. The didam < hy wat -r is from 1)00 to l,00o miles. Tho harbor of the port is < in oi i 1 tho hncst on the Cubau onust, Im i it is didicnlt of a s c -s. i'.o.n the sea a deep hut narrow channel | leads into the hurhor I? .;t fringing reefs. The channel is i . ! { over u mile long and at it? narrowest point only ah; ut 5-1 1 t I wide. Its {greatest width is . id to be only an eight h of a mile. Oin-o in the harbor a 'great depth of water is found, an ! spa for the accommodation of a iar *e | licet. Santiago city in situated at the | head of the harbor four or ti miles from the sea.

There aro numerous handsome ' I buildings in the city, punlic and j private, including the rofidonccH ^oj^tljo archbishop and the govern. for of'the pr.w-.nrK. Although the peculiar entrance to the hurhor would seem to make " it possible to fortifv the iiort ini- i pregnably,the defenses of the ha * I hot* are not reputed f?*rmi?Itittin. s|Tho fortifications are said to he ' chiefly of masonry, of little use against modern high-pressure 'l ?,Mins, and the guns mini ited there are generally old fashioned sniooth-hores. '' On the land side there are! v numerous earth works d? fended by small puis, which have been " sufficient to keep back til? insurgents, unprovided with artillery. Nevertheless, for many months (> (ieneral (iareia has kept the ity n practically in a state of siege. ' Communication with the western v part of the island has been had II almost wholly by water. The chief fortification of Santiago V is Morro castle. It stands out * boldly on a hill east of the harbor, l' making a most conspicuous t n pt for the guns of a hostile fleet. Morro castle i-? a rambling, ir'' regular fort, neither circular nor r 1 oblong in shaoo. The fort i 8j known to have five modern 10 inch ' jguns und a largo number of other * old stylo cannon. Directly opposite Morro castle is the Block house, a small stone building, strengthened with heavy railroad iron. This building has 1 some good guns in it. Tho num I h ber is not known outside of Cuba, a for they have been recently placed y in position. y Along the entrance to the bar- j l>or are the Estrella and another ] smaller battery, and the Santa a Catalina fort, none of which isi 1 supposed to l>o formidable. The Bianco battery within the city limits is a small affair. ^ The harbor js further protected r by a number of masked batteries, located at points on both sides of the harbor.
