It Is deserted - sorted and as silent as the flight of the vul- lures that wing their way over Its summit. .At Its base the blue sea broakM In llanhcs of foam and the occbn breeze Is cool in the shadow of Its walls. One searches long through Morro's passages and over the roofs that even the lizards fotsako during the noonday bent for sIgns of the guns that nrc said to have replied So valiantly to the fire , of the American fleet , , On tIne tofi battlement ono finds several small mortars , made of bronze and cast in Spain In the caly pant at tIne seventeenth centUry. These are curiously - riously carved. Smanling dragons form their fneltul handles. On the same roof are two mounted cannon of bronse , about fourteen feet long , one of tlieni bearing on Its surface and intermingled with carved coats of arms , flour do Its an&decorations whose elgnifl- canco it Is hard to comprehend , the follpw- lag inscription : "Mars Ultima Rogun , LOuis Charles dci llourbon , Comto do 1i , flue d'Auinaib , Nec Piunibus Impar 12 Jute , 1748 , Jeab Manitz.

The bid-fashioned mortars show signs of having been shotted and handled and balls for their gaping throats are scattered about. Search the castle oVer and you 'will nd several more muzzle-loading guns of a bygone age , Un- mounted , their rusty mouths pointed heli- lessly against the castle's battlements. And this is El Monro's complete armament today. Through the bare chambers are scattered some signs of the recent presence of the Spanish soldiers-old tin cans. tattered clothing - ing , straw hats and forlorn contrivances for cooking. The bare white walls of one room have been decorated by a soldier artistof no mean talent and they bpcak of tedious hours. The steps that load from bastion to turret nr&crumbling and wornm the doors to strange apartments bang open and the old Spanish castle. alive with the Interest and dignity of past ages , protests mutely against the Iqader and the modern conqueror. The southeast bastion that formerly uphold - hold the Spanish flag was knocked Into dust by the shot that carried down the ban- nor. There are signs of shots that. have pecked at the ol1d walls ; a shell carried away the drawbridge and broke through the main entrance , but otherwise 1 Morro bears no noticeable evidence of bombard- mont. , A few hundred yards to the east-and still on the beIgt-ts the , eastern ba'ttery. fleran i'apd I , castto are come , low red' tiled 'hduses , formerly used as quarters .for the garrison of the fort. Here also stood , the lighthouse that marked the harbor en- trance-now shattered and twisted by the ; flr from the American ships , for which It 'doubtlesa offered an ercellent target , Thp aatern battery Is of earth ; barrels of'cemept and sacks of dirt protect the guns. Hero are two small fisid pieces made In SevIlio in 1873 and the ground Is plentifully strewn with unused ammunition , scattered in and out of the ammunition boxes as these werp hurriedly opened. Here also are five bronze muzzle loading cannon , bearing thmtes of their castings as follows : 1768 , 1718. 1779 , 1783 and 1769. These , however , are nounted on modern Iron carriages and they have been ucd. A small house just behind the earth- 'orks Is still full of bags of powder and conical bullets. Just down the bill on the land side are the recently occupied quarters of , the Spanish , troops. Vis to the Castle Entrance. One of these bronze cannon of the past century was ditmounted by a shot from the fleet , The carriage was wrecked and now lies half buried i the torn earth , but the gun appears to be uninjured and may still grace some American park , en object of interest to Sunday visitors , This' Is the only visible damage done. Tb are signs of 'hurried departure on all siea , but the four old muzzle loaders ' poke up 'their noses as defiantly as over. . At this battc'ry there are also two mortars - tars , evidently of modern make , and the fact that a simIlar gun is lying unmounted at the foot of the road mvhlclz lends up to the fortificatIons shows that these urine had recently been landed. All along the road from the dock , in the sheltered cove behind the old fortress , up to the castle entrance are broken and half filled boxes of rifle ammunition and cartridges , 'vith brasa-conte4 Juilot going to show that these projectileS , which inflict a poisoned wound , were used by time Spaniards. The Socapa battery Is on the western sid of the mouth of the harbor. It Is about tli eatna height as the eastern battery , though a little further back from the sea line 'thou the fortification just descrIbed. Here are the two modern sIxteen-centImeter nitloa which our zuen wanted to capture and to turn against Sputiago and which wete among time moat. active In replyipg to the American lire. liens also are three thirty-two-centImeter mortars similar .to those at the eastern battery , and a broad road through the woods and up the bill- aide Bhowe where these heavy guns pasted to their positions , for this earth battery was constructed after tb war began , liar- role and earthftlled sacks protected the men at the morturs , , wbil those wm worked the rifles were behind many feet of bnr4 cement in square blocks , banked on the outsIde by a sloping mass of earth and small stones , The carriage ot the eastern sixteen.centimeter rifle was struck vnd very slightly damaged , hOne the 11111 shows some signs of fire , Shells have piouIid ui the earth and cleared out the trees and the ground is covered with jnany of the sheila that have torn throtigh the Underbrush , Just bebind this battery , El Socapa , en a small island inside the harbor iflOutil and In fu'l ' siBbt of ? .lorro aatIa nestles a flab- ing viliago that for weeks bad liten do. sorted.

ISLE OF PINES IS BARREN Denid d of IdsFooil fleIu)1itCC $ a 1Iontii Ao nnd fllockn4e Ic Seeriy ) Felt , KEY W1ST , Aug. 3.-The report that the isle of Pines Is furnishing food supplies to Cube Is emphatically denied. It can be assorted - sorted on the strength of unquestionable authority that the island Itself was denuded of its food resources a month ago and its own people are now starving. Neuva Grona , its capital , noted for Its salubrious climate , especially as a consumptive - tivo cure , is flow used by the Spaniards for a military hospital camp and only wounded soldiers are there. Rich atid poor from Havana have been flocking thither and as a natural consequence yellow fever and smallpox have followed anti now rage to an alarming extent. This is because the poor cannot procure medicines and the , govprnr' meat .suppiies neither medicIne , nor food. The unfortunate people die in the streets , 'the authorities virtually being compelled to bury them , The entire island Is under Cap- tam General Illanco's government. The residents declare that they have never seen a steamer pass in since the war began and only a few stoops and schooners. This statement has been verified by' thfor- matlon which came by the gunboat Ban- croft and the converted yacht Eagle secured at an Insurgent camp visited ba ' their corn- manders near by. The lAmericans were told there that nothing had attempted 'to get in since the. Eagle sank the Santo' Domingo. There Is reason to believe , however. . that the steamer Villa Verde managed to elude' the blockade seine time ago. The insur- gente in the province of Pinar 'del Rio are well supplied with arms and ammunition , thanks to many successful filibustering ox- peditions. They are now little troubled by the Spanish forces. which are being called rapidly to havana froth every quarter. Where two months ago there were large Spanish garrisons , now there are only a few men and these make no attempt to pursue the insurgents as they formerly did , consenting themselves 'with sim'ply remain- log at their posts. The'biockade'of the ports 'west of the Isle , -of Pines , Is now so iveli maintained that not 'even a , smack could get through , The Eagle , 'which- returned 'here tonight , reports that on leaving the Isle of Pines the Ilancroft'a launch had apparently scored another vie- dory , as' it was then towing out a schooner from shore about eight rnUes away. Captain Stmtherland 'of the Eagle is 'confi- dent that the two 12-inch guns which wore in the hold of the Santo Domingo when it was sunk by his lithe yacht can be 'saved and he thinks wreckers should be sent down for them. When 'the ' Spanish steamer sank these guns dropped to the bottom and so long as the air' does not reaei them they can be saved. Omie of our blockading ships sights the wreck of the' Santo Domingo once every twelve hours to prevent any attempt on the part of the enemy to get the big guns. There is much interest here as to the dcci- sian the prize courts will reach in 'the ' case of the Santo Domingo , which , with its guns and the enormous cargo of food , was valued at close upon $1,000,000. Had the Ee1e succeeded in taking it unharmed there could have been no question as to the legality' of making it a prize , but the Santo Domingo had on board two flve.Inch guns , mounted , primed and trained , and 144 men , while , thp Eagle , with a battery at only six-pounders and only about a score of men , could not afford to take the desperate chances of the big ship escaping and getting its guns to Havana. So , for what are called "military reasons , " the snto Domipgo was 'destroyed. After Its destruction , however , the Eagle's men boarded It and took format possession of it as a prize pf war , Herein lies a nice question for the determination of the co rts , TREATS PRISONERS HUMANELY - , Consul VIiIinnn Denies 8torle cii CrucltT in ( ho Phil- ' ' Ippinics , : ' WAShINGTON , Aug , 2-The State de- parfment has been advised by United States Consul 'SVlldman at Hong Hong that all prisoners taken by Aguinaldo , the insurgent chief , including monks , are "treated with perfect humanity , " and that all reports to the contrary arc absolutely false.

They pleaded poverty end that the ito was their only means of livelihood , Commander Clover of the Ban- croft promised to return It at the proper time. Meanwhile he sent Nevis in to anchor near time wreck of the Spanish transatlantic liner Santo Domingo , sunk by the Eagle a fond weeks ago. Then the Baneroft and Eagle cruised off to Zmauglo Point , where they happened to be put in communication with the insurgent camp. Two hours later they returned , Nothing could be seen of the launch mien the lrlzo. Suddenly Commander - mander Clover , who was scanning tile water with lila glass , shouted to Captain Sutherland - land of the Eagle : . "By heavens , they have recaptured my prize , " The little schooner lay near the wrecked steamer , but the Spanish flag was flying fropm her. . mast and instead of only Noyis and his companion , she was apparently filled with lucre. The gunboat Maple had drawn tip and Commander Clover or- tIered it Into the work of nescue. Vith gnUs ready 'it steamed toward time' shooner , but timb sight that greeted the' Mnpld's ' crew was not u'hat was expected. I'Jevis and his comlimnion sat at one end of the bimat , attempting to navigate it out of the harbor. Each had"his rifle across.jiIs , knee and was keeping a wary eye on a party of half a dozen cowering Spaniards huddled into the other cad of the boat. The Maple asked for information and offered Neyla .a tow , but he replied with a. joke and do- 'dined the proffered assistaace , Then it developed - veloped that In going into anchor he had observed two other small Spanish boats near the wreck' of the Santo 'Domingo and re- solYed to capture them also. He knew it was hazardous work but " " , "bluff" carried him through. He 'took the Spanish 'colors of the schooner , rn them up , and boldly sailed In , There were six men on the other boats and they wat , hed the appreach of their gup- .posed compatriots with a calmness that , epeedily changed to consternation , when ' 'Nevis and the other Jackie suddenly shipped their rifles to their shoulders and demanded ftn Immediate surrender. The scared SpanIsh - Ish seaman lost. no time In complying and lied the unique experience of surrendering to lia1r own flag. Then , scorning all aid , Nevis took them out to his ship and in the most matter of fadt madner ieportd his ad'enturo to 'his astonished , commander. , The capture was no 'mean one , for those men gao important information to the American ship. They were residents of the little town of Cortez , province 'of Pinar dcl Rio , situated aboUt two miles from the Santo Domingo wreck on what is called Pirates In- gooil , because In ancient days it was a favor. ito resort of the brethren of Captain Kidd. The towa has a population of 1,000 , and the only reason for 'its existence is that it serves as a depot for the Vuelta tobacco distHOt and contains a number of large tobacco - bacco wdrebou es. The Bancroft anti Eagle would have taken the town , which is defended only by 100 soldiers , but they could not spare a permanent - manent force to protect the noncombatants , women and children.
