'3 THE DALLES WEEKLY CHRONICLE SATURDAY, MAY 21, 1898. BOMBARDMENT OF SAN JUAN Only One American Killed Morro Fort the Principal Object of Attack The Forts Badly Damaged. Sky West, May 18. The newspaper dispatch boat has arrived today bring ing details of the bombardment of San Juan May 12th. The most significant features of the bombardment is that the forts were not completely silenced. In fact, a shot from a Spanish gun was fired while the squadron was steaming away, which killed Seaman Minmark, the only man slain duriog the battle. Sampson and the officers and men were greatly disappointed, eince they went there fully expecting that the Spanish fleet, incindiug deadly torpedo-destroyers, would be there. The fleet ;appeared off San J nan at daylight, and the people in the town fled in terror. Sampson sent the tug harbor under flag to annonnce the in tention to bombard, and warning all non combatants to get ont of the city. The flag was fired on, however, and an order was given to bombard without further notice. The ships did not enter the entrance to the harbor, bnt remained in front of Morro castle and Fort San Cristobal, San Carlos and San Greonimo, which are situated on each entrance to the harbor. Our warships sailed right past the batteries and delivered a fire after passing out of ranged Tbey then circled and camo into line again. This being done three times, the battleships de livered a terrible fire, as did also the monitors Terror and Amphitrite. Morro Fort was the chief object of the attack and a storm of shells poured into it. It occupies an elevation of 125 feet and its guns conld, if well handled, have delivered terrible destruction of fire. The first shot, a thousand-pound pro jectile, from the Iowa burst over the fort, tearing a big gun from its emplace ment and hnrling tons of rock and debris far and wide and creating great havoc generally. The Spaniards must hare suffered heavy losses, bnt fought bravely. Their ehots went far and wide. One hit our ship squarely and struck the ventilator of the Iowa and burst, slightly wound ing three men. Another wrecked a lite "boat on the New York, killing a eeaman named Frank Whitemark. These fa talities occurred when the ships were entering the harbof. Morro and the other defenses were badly damaged, as officers through their glasses could see men, rock and earth go tip into the air as the shots struck the fort. The Spanish redoubled their fire when cur ships withdrew. The fight lasted three hours and ended at 8 :15 in the morning. Each commander fought standing ont on the protected bridge of his vessel. Sampson occupied the Iowa as his flag-ship, and observed the fight through glasees he held in bis hand, standing on the bridge of that battle-ship, while shells scattered around and over him. The captainB, aides and the signal officers were the only ones exposed, all others being un der cover. SAMPSON'S FLEET STRENGTHENED The Oregon Marietta and Buffalo Have Joined Sampson. Washington, May 18. Official infor mation was given out late today to the efiect that the battle-ship Oregon is safe. Unofficially it is learned that tbe Ore- - gon, Marietta and Buffalo are all safe. It is learned further that these three vessels have joined Sampson's fleet and thereby have very materially increased . tbe strength of that most formidable squadron. With the Oregon safely within the limits of the West Indian waters, the five great battle-ships of the United States are in a position to cope with the entire Spanish navy, if neces sary, the combined Spanieh fleet. Even granting that the Cieneros, Princess de Austnrias and Cataluna have joined the Cape Verde fleet, they have between them only fourteen guns of 11-inch caliber, which is the largest in the Spanish navy. The seven cruisers, sup posed to be somewhere in the vicinity ' of the north' coast of Venezuela, are - without donbt the most powerful ves sels in the possession of Spain, and yet five battleships in combined squadrons of Sampson and Schley carry twelve 13 -inch guns and six 12-inch Suns between them. In smaller caliber, 8, 6 and 4-incb, tbe American battleships are infinitely more superior to the Span ish. The next news of Sampson will probably come in the shape of a de tailed report of his meeting with the Spanish fleet. If he can accomplish this without scattering his own vessels, and force a fieht between the powerful attlesbips which he will have when the ejia:;ion wit'i Ssi'e, is complete, and the evasive cruisers of Spain, the ' i -1 : ..i-rtl result can ue cuuuueuuj (uiuuku! THE ANNEXATION . QUESTION Bill Meeting With Approval Stirring Session is, Experienced. Victoria. E. C May 18 The bill which Minister Hatch and Thurston recommended should be submitted to the Hawaiian legislature, providing the annexation, and which seems to estab lish an offensive alliance with the United States. A natural movement towards annexation is meeting with con sfderal opposition on the ground that the time is inopportune, and that dur ing the present war the island would be epen to attack. Dale, a member of the cabinet, said in an interview that the bill wonld not be submitted to the leg islature until this government was in possession of more information. Some Honolulu papers have editorials very strongly urging the government to de clare neutrality during the debate on the income tax bill in the Hawaiin leg islature on May 9th. Representative Robertson expressed the regret that th power of money had been plainly need to influence the mem bers of the lower house against the bill. Representatives Lobenstein and Rich ards at once demanded a retraction of the statement. For a time pande monium reigned and an hour was con sumed in disintangling the parliment rules involved, and in voting an appeal from the decision of the speaker as to who was entitled to the floor, and to avoid bloodshed a motion was made to adjourn. This was carried and thus enaed one of the most exciting exper iences during the present session of the house. fiEPUBMGflll TIGflET STATE. For Governor, T. T. GEER, of Marlon County.

UNCLE SAH TO FAY OREGON BOYS DiUnc From Tbe Time of En listment. Oregon volunteers" are to be paid Uncle Sam says so. Information by Adjutant-General Tnttle today advising the adjutant that the troops would be paid by the United "States dating from the time of enlistment. Officers will be paid from the time of mustering. The rejected men will be allowed their subsistence and transportation, nothing more. This will prove pleasant news to the soldiers. They probably would have re received pay from the state, in time, bnt legislatures are uncertain and time is fleeting, and now, by Uncle Sam assum ing the duty of paymaster, there is no doubt about the result.' The state will have to recompense the rejected men for their service. Adjutant General Tuttle believes the state will gladly do this. But for tbe liberality of the government, the state would have to assume tbe entire burden of' paying off tbe regiment, which would be quite different from paying off the few men rejected, the adjutant-general took no pains to conceal his plartre and the other officers are equally pleased. - ' Cash In Sour Cneea.
