THE DALLES WEEKLY CHRONICLE, SATURDAY. MAY 14, 1898
THE OREGON
WILL TAKE PART
It Is Expected Tnat Moro Castle Will
Be Reduced in Twenty-Four Hours.
Washington, May 11. The Oregon
bu been directed to make all possible
speed towards Key West, and she ia now
expected to reach the rendezvous be
tween Key West and Cuba in time to
take part in the bombardment. It can
be stated positively that the forts guard
ing the entrance to the harbor of Ha
vana will not be shelled nntil every
thing is in readiness for a combined at
tack of the navy and military forces.
When shelling does begin, it will proba
bly be the -most furious bombardment
that ever occurred in tbe history of an
cient or modern warfare.
The Iowa, Indiana, Oregon, Puritan
and Terror together throw from their
big guns twenty shots at a simile dis
charge, averaging about a thoueand
ponnda each. Should the entire fleet
engage in the bombardment, which is
highly probable, tbe total weight of the
steel hurled against Morro castle will
approximate something like 75,000
pounds at each time the batteries are
discharged. American gnnners have
demonstrated their ekillfulness, not
alone in Manila, bnt at target practice,
which is the great secret of their mark
mansbip. There will be no repetition pf tbe
siege of Yicksburg, when hnndreds of
tons of mortar shells were thrown into
that city without any apparent damage.
Bided cannon and steel shells have
made modern gunnery far more deadly
and destructive in its effect than was
the case in the days of tbe old smooth
bore; and tbe practice which the fleet
has had along the Cuban coast shows
clearly that at least seventy-five per
cent of the shells need reached their
destination. It is the belief of naval
experts that Morro's guns can be si
lenced in twenty-four honrs.
AN UNSUCCESSFUL
ATTEMPT TO LAND
The American Forces Repelled by tbe
Spaniaads in Attempting to- Land
Men and Ammunition in Cuba.
Havana, via Jamaica, May 12. Fonr
American vessels, which have taken a
position .off Cienfugos on tbe south
coast, opened a heavy fire on the town
early this morning. A number of steam
launches simultaneously left the ships
Bides and were towing barges and land
ing men and arms. The Spanish troops
hastened to the shore and assisted by
the guns at the lighthouse and two
pieces of artillery, drove off the invaders,
Fonr Spaniards were wounded and tbe
cable station was destroyed by the
American fire. After the invaders with
drew they took a fresh position on tbe
other side at the entrance to tbe bay and
reopend fire. They later reattempted
to land, towing the barges into a small
river. The Spanish troops, however,
again prevented their getting ashore.
Altogether four Spaniards were wound
ed. The Americans, must have sus
tained considerable loss. The fighting
lasted for eight hours.
AMERICAN SHIP
FIRED UPON
The Erastus Does Not Obey the Orders
' to Heave to, and a Patrol Boat
Sends a Shot Through Her Bow.
Ukw Haves, Conn., May 11. The
passenger steamboat Erastus Corning,
of the Stann line, wrs today fired upon
and struck by a United States patrol
boat while leaving New York harbor.
The Corning arrived here seven hours
late with thirty passengers. She was
ordered to stop, and upon her refusal to
.heave to, a shot was sent crashing
through ber bow. For six hours the
BteambOiit was detainad by the patrol
boat, and thorough eearch was made of
. ber cargo for contraband of war. Cap
tain Robert Bishop protested ; but the
reply to his protests was a careful in
spection of the manifest and cargo.
The Corning had' proceeded but a
short distance out of New York harbor,
. when the United States patrol boat
' bore down upon her. Captain Bishop
did not at first know that he was the
object of the patrol boat's approach;
- while a pnff of emokn from the deck of
tbe patrol was tbe first intimation that
he was expected to heave , to. Real ex
citement prevailed on board the steam
er, and it amounted to a panic when the
: .patrol fired a second time, and with a
sharp crash the shot tore the steamer's
bow.. Then Captain Bishop hove to at
once, and the patrol came alongside.
SECOND CALL
TO BE MADE
May Be Necessary to Call for More Vol
unteers to Uphold the Flag.
Washington, May 12. The is a great
deal of talk heard about a second call for
one hundred thousand volunteers and
every manufacturing concern in the
country that is capable of making small
arms, ammunition and war stores has
been requested to keep its force of work
men employed day and night in order
that the necessary, equipments may oe
ready in caee of need. In this connec
tion it may be said that the department
baa gained wisdom by the experience of
tbe civil war.
Every manufacturing contractor has
been virtually kicked out of the depart
ment when he has applied for a chance
to get at tbe government again.
Only the best materials are accepted
and the most rigid rules of inspection
are adhered to in the examination of
goods furnished nnder contract.
Should the war last 60 days the offi
cers of tbe subsistence and ordinance de
partment feel certain that they will be
in position to place in the field an army
twice as large as that which has already
been called to nphold the honor of the
American flag.
RESULTS OF
THE BLOCKADE
Famine a Reality Restaurants Are
Guarded by Volunteers-'-All Ships
Which Left Were Packed With
. Refugees.
. Hakaka. via Galveston. May 12. The
effects .of the blockade have assumed
alarming proportions. Fam me is near
for the rich, and a reality for the poor
Restaurants are guarded by volunteers.
and only customers are allowed within
The few ships leaving Havana since
tbe blockade began were packed full of
refugees.
The story circulated that the Montsu-
reat ran the blockade and entered Ha
vana is nntrue. .
There is still plenty of . water, but
meat is bard to obtain and the price of
bread is nearly prohibitive.
DISSATISFACTION
IN ARMY SELECTIONS
Politics are Apparently Governing the
President's Recent Appointments
for Military Service.
' . i '
WASHiNGTON.May 12. In the nomina
tions that the president has sent to the
senate during tbe past two days there
are evidences that politics have entered
very largely into the selections tor adju
tants, quartermasters, commissioners
and other staff places. In view of the
fact that there are scores of lieutenants
in the army today who have grown grey
in service, and who have never yet
reached tbe grade of captain, because of
slowness of promotion, there Is a great
deal of dissatisfaction expressed over
the course of tbe president in ig
noring the claims of men who have
served for twentv years or longer in
lower grades, and has selected for staff
placeB sons and other relatives of men
who are, or have been, prominent in
political affairs in the country. Among
men who have been appointed during
tbe last two days to soft berths in the
army, are the names ot Blaine, Logan
and Harrison. James G. Blr-ine, John
A. Logan and Russell Harrison have cer
tainly never distinguished themselves
in any manner warranting their selec
tions for staff appointments in the army,
but these are not the only ones given
command over men. who have spent
years in tbe hardest sort of campaigns
on the frontier. ' ' .
The list of nominations fairly bristle
with politics. Among them are to be
fonnd sons and nephews of Secretary
Alger, Senators Grey, Foraker and Alli
son. Representative Catching and Hull,
tbe son of John New, of Indiana, and a
score of others equally well known be
cause of their blood connections with
men at one time great, but for no other
reason.: . : ; -- "
Suicide of a Spy."
Washington, Mav 12. George Down
ing, the Spanish spy 'arrested, here sev
eral days ago, committed suicide this
morning by hanging hlmeelf at the bar
racks in which he was confined.
AN ENGAGEMENT
IN CARDENAS HARBOR
Torpedo-Boat Winslow Suffers Serious
Damage Under Fire Spanish Gun
Boats and Land Batteries.
Kkt West, May 12. In an engage
ment in Cardenas, harbor yesterday
afternoon between the. United States
torpedo-boat Winslow and the gnnboats
Wilmington and Hudson on one side and
some Spanish gunboats reinforced by
land batteries on the other, the Wins
low was badly damaged, one officer and
four sailors were killed, and the captain
and five men were wounded. The other
American .vessels engaged were not
damaged, . , i
Tbe land batteries of Cardenas sup
ported tbe fire of the Spanish gunboats.
The engagement commenced at 2:05 p.
m., and lasted for about an hour. - Tbe
battle bile it lasted was terrific. Tbe
Wilmington and Hudson were ahead,
and opened fire on the Spanish boats,
which were lying at the dock. The fir
ing began at a range of 3500 yards.
A few minutes later tbe Winslow came
up and also opened fire. In an instant
the entire attention of the Spanish gun
boats and land batteries was directed
upon her. From all sides shot and ehell
poured in upon the little torpeda-boat
The Wilmington and Hudson still kept
np their fire. The crew of the Winslow
never faltered for a moment. . At 2 :35
a solid shot crashed into the hull of the
Winslow aud nocked out her boiler. In
a moment sbe begun to rock and roll
helplessly. Then there was a moment
of awful suspense. A fierce cheer of tri
umph went np iroai the Spanish on tbe
gnnboats and in the batteries. '
Tbe storm of fire was continued upon
tbe helpless boat. Tbe gunboat Hudson
laying near by, started to ber assistance.
She ran along side of. her and tried to
throw a line to the imperiled crew.' ' Up
to this time, with the exception of the
shot which disabled tbe Winslow, the
firing of the Spanish gunboats had been
wild, but she ..lay relling in the. water.
The range grew closer and sheila began
to explode all about her. It was diffi
cult for the Hudson to get near her, so
terrible was tbe fire.
Finally, after about twenty minutes,
tbe Hudson approached near enough to
throw a line. Bagley and bix men were
standing in a group on the deck of the
Winslow, ready to catch tbe rope. A
line was thrown and at about the same
instant a shell buret in tbe very midst
of the. group. Bagley was instantly
killed and a few others dropped about
him. HSlf a dozen more fell groaning
on the blood-stained deck. One of tbe
men plunged headlong over the Ride of
the boat, bnt bis feet caught on an iron
rail and be was hauled back. . Bagley'e
body was etreached on deck with his
face completely torn away, aud tbe up
per part of bis body shattered. ,
When the shell burst in tbe group on
board the Winslow another wild shout
of triumph went np from the Spanish
boats and batteries, and again a heavy
fire was opened on the torpedo-boat.
Finally the Hudson succeeded in get
ting a line on board tbe Winslow, and
was towing her out of the deadly range
when tbe line parted and again both
boats were at tbe mercy of the Spanish
fire.
At 3 :05 p. m. tbe Hudson managed to
get another line on the deck of the
Winslow and the damaged torpeto-boat
waa towed to redras leiana, wnere ner
dead and wounded were removed. At
9:10 yesterday evening the Hudson,
with the dead bodies and some of tbe
wounded, started for Key West.
SENT TO THTK BOTTOM
Spanish ' Torpedo-Boat Destroyer
Blows Up in the Straits of
Gibraltar,
London, May 11. A dispatch to the
Globe from Gibralter eays a British
Bteamer just arrived there reports of
ficially that . ehe passed a Spanish
torpedo-boat destroyer yesterday which
was guarding tbe strait. Shortly after
the steamer passed her all tbe lights of
the destroyer ' were suddenly extin
gnished a terrific explosion followed
immediately and the destroyer diap-
peared. The disaster waa' apparently
caused by an explosion of her boilers.
It is believed all on board perished.
A RESOLUTION IS IMMINENT.
Popular Ruing: In Italy Cannot Long Be
. ' Delayed. , . .
Pacts, May 11. Tbe correspondents
in Rome of newspapers in this city all
affirm that a revolution in Ilalv ia im
minent, . and . tbat a popular rising
throuhout tbe country will not be long
delayed. The news causes great Batia
faction here, where a republican Italy
ia regarded as a natural friend ot France
and as an enemy of the dreibund. - ;
ATTEMPT TO HOLD UP A STAGE
Highwaymen Three Times bhot the
- Driver.
' Redding, Cal., May 11. Just at dawn
an attempt was made to hold up the
stage ' running from ; Altnras to this
place. When about three miles-from
town the driver, William Connory, be
came aware that some one was climbing
on his stage from behind.
As the driver turned, the wonld-be
robber fired point blank in his face, tbe
bullet passing through bis cheek, car
rying away several teeth and a portion
of the roof of his month. A hend-to-
nana connict ensued, tbe driver nsing
bis heavy whip, while the robber shot
three or four times at his intended vic
tim. A second bullet 'grazed Connory's
face and a third burned his neck. The
fourth bullet flew wide.
Connory finally succeeded in forcing
the robber to the ground, and the stage
horses dashed away, carrying the plncky
driver out of hnrm'a reach. He is in a
precarious condition from bis wounds.
DEPARTURE NOT
MADE KNOWN
The . Cruiser May Leave Sunday or
Monday San Francisco Harbor
Has Been Set With Torpedoes.
Vallkjo, May 12. No one at Mare
island pretends to know just when
tbe Charleston will sail for Manila. . No
orders have been received by Captain
Glass, and tbe best information obtain
able is that the cruiser ia expected to go
some time Sunday .or Monday. The
Charleston haa a crew of 300 men, and
this ia to be augmented by the marine
guards.
Almost without the knowledge of peo
ple around and about San Francisco, for
two weeks past tbe harbor and its ap
proaches have been set with torpedoes
and mines. The work is not entirely
completed, bnt nearly so. For 14 days
the government tug boat, Unadila, has
been placing submarine destroyers.
Over 300 torpedoes are said to have
been placed in position.
SAMPSON STORMS
PUERTO RICO
Fortifications Crumbling Under Fire of
the Heavy Guns.
Cape Haytien, May 11. The town is
full of a story that Admiral Sampson
battering at the gates of San Juan de
Puerto Rico. The story goes here that
action began this afternoon and that the
ancient fortifications were rapidly cram
bling under the fire of the heavy guns
Havana had evidently heard the news
also and was wildly excited over it, for
all sorts of inquiries for information
have been cabled here. No definite in
formation can be bad from Puerto Rico
which strengtena the idea here that
something nnusnal is going on there.
SIEGE THROUGHOUT SPAIN.
Reports Exaggerated--Rioting; and Loot
ing of Warehouses Continues.
Barcelona, May 11 By special com
ler to Perphigean, France State of
siege has been proclaimed throughout
Spain. Civil and military authorities
seem to have entirely lost their hopes.
Surveillance of foreigners, and censor
ship of mails ia absurdly exaggerated
Republican papers are fanning the
flames, and preparations are being made
for a revolution at tbe first opportunity.
Rioting and looting of grain warehouses
continues at a doz9n cities, and the an
thorities are afraid to go to extremes
and suppress riots with Weyler'a sure
methods, knowing that they would pre
cipitate an instant and universal upris
ing, which would end in the overthrow
of the monarchy and chaos in its place.
The trans-Atlantic liner Colon has
left here for Cadiz, with urgent orders
from headquarters to embark troops for
the Philippines. About thirty officers
of various grades and 1500 troops have
arrived and are awaiting orders..
NO NEWS . FROM SAMPSON.
The Bombardment of San Juan Porto
Rico Doubted.
Washington, May 12. At a late hour
tonight the navy department professed
to have no news about Sampson's re
ported bombardment of San Juan Porto
Rico. The officials admit that Sampson
might be bombarding the Porto Rico
capital. Officials also- said tbat they
had nothing to confirm the report that
tbe Spanish fleet was at Port de France
Martiqoe. but tbe genera belief was
tbat the return of tbe fleet to Cadiz was
nntrue. -
