THE DALLES WEEKLY CHRONICLE SATURDAY. MAY 28, 1898.
BRILLIANT EXPLOIT
OF THE MARBLEHEAD
Successful Landing of the Supplies and
Ammunition.
Key West, May 2G. Commander
McCalla, of the Marblehead, baf again
given the Spaniards along the southern
coast of Caba a eevere attack of heart
disease. On last Tuesday morning,
twehty-five miles east of Cienfuegos, he
ran close in shore without Mole station,
and landed 30,000 rounds of ammuni
tion and 160 pairs of shoes for the in
surgents. These supplies were contrib
uted by the crew of the Marblehead.
While landing was being made arrange
ments were effected whereby the Mar
blehead should run down to a point near
Cienfuegos mi the following morning and
bombard the block . houses along the
coast, while the Cuban attacked them
in the rear.
. Early on Wednesday morning the
Marblehead steamed down toward Cien
fuegos and stopped opposite the four
block houses which are scattered along
the shore about a halt a mile apart. A
eix-incb shell from one of the cruiser's
bow guns was the Spaniard's first inti
mation of danger. The shell flew high
and exploded in the woods beyond the
fort, and a second shell hit heavily the
paliieade building square in the center
and exploded. It tore the entire side
out of the building and cut a great hole in
the rear." A squad of Spaniards fled for
their lives and reached the heavy woods
in Eafety. A second fort met with a
like fate and the Spaniards made off.
They were attacked by the insnrgente,
while the third and fourth block houses
were also destroyed, and then the Mar
blehead steamed away, leaving the
Spaniards and insurgents to fight it out.
The rattle of infantry fire could be plain
ly heard along the border of the forest.
There were about 200 insurgents in the
attacking party.
LAND ATTACK
. ON SANTIAGO
An Attack By Water Not Practical
Naval Experts Think the Spanish
Fleet Will Be Taken in Good Shape.
Washington, May 26. In attacking
San Juan Sampson found that the guns
on board the ships could not be elevated
sufficiently to do effective work against
the fortifications on the high hills, eo the
government considers a land attack on
the Spanish warships in Santiago
harbor would prove more effect
ive. Santiago is almost surrounded
by high hills, and with siege guns
.mounted on these the United States
- troops could make it uncomfortable for
. an enemy in the water below. Cervera
would have to abandon his vessels or put
to-8?a to meet Schley. As matters
stand, Cervera's position appears to be
impregnable from the sea. With insur
gents controlling the territory around
f- . I , J- . ,J U
-Santiago, me landing oi troupe cuuiu ue
.easily effected. Naval experts think
that Cervera's fonr cruisers can be can
- tured in a fairly good condition. If this
program is carried out, it is the govern
ments desire not to destroy these ships
as the American navy could use them to
. a' good advantage.
THE SITUATION
HIDE CLEARER
A Cipher Dispatch Has Beeu Received
From Schley.
Washington, May 26. At 11 :45 to
night the navy department received, a
cipher cablegram from the West Indies
statin? that Schley is off Santiago har
bor guarding ' the entrance. Official
knowledge that Schley is on band and is
ready to. prevent Cervera's escape from
there makes Sampson's course clear. He
will proceed to San Juan and reduce the'
fortifications as eoon as hp has received
official information that Cervera is in
Santiago harbor.
The navy department is morally sure
that Cervera. did not leave Santiago.
A United States ecout boat saw him
enter the harbor. While the scout boat
was absent time neceeeary to reacn a
cable station Cervera's fleet might have
emerged, but this possibility is regarded
so far rerftote as to be considered impos
sible. Schley is arranging with the in
surgents in the rear of Santiago to get
absolute proof. The countermining of
the harbor is understood to have been
commenced by Schley. The latter ex
pects to get some action . in connection
with Cervera within 43 hours.
, KO FEMALE NUHSES. '
Only Mem Will be Allowed to Accom
pany the Army In This Capacity. ,
Washington. Mav 26. Sureeon-Gen-
eral VanBeypen,ot the navy, and Stern-'
berg, of the army, have decided that no
female nurees shall accompany' the
army that is being sent to the Philip
pines. Only male nurses will be al
lowed to go and they will be obliged to
enlist in the volunteer or regular army
as members of the hospital corps.
REASONS FOR -SIMM'S
MOVE
Lack of Ammunition Caused Him to
Return to Key West Arguments
in Sampson's Favor.
Washington. Mav 26. Sampson re
turned to Key West alter the bombard
ment of ban Juan of his own volition and
for the pnrpoee of replenishing bis stock
of am munition.
It is unjust of the strategy board to
blame those officers for ordering him
away' from the Caribbean sea or the pas
sage leading to the north from that body
of water. This statement was made by
a member of the house commute on
naval affairs.
It is added that Sampson's ships were
supplied with sixty Bhells for each of
the 12 and 13-inch guns. There was no
large supply of ammunition of small
caliber used in the bombardment of San
Juan. An average of 32 'shells were
fired from each of the big rifles.
Sampson concluded, therefore, that it
wonld be nnwiee to attempt to meet an
enemy and engage him with his largely
depleted stock of metal in the maga
zines, and this is the secret ot his return
to Key West, to the surprise of every
one. "I may say," added the epeaker,
"that the bombardment of San Juan
was contrary to the orders under which
Sampson sailed."
"Do you mean to say that Sampson
was guilty of disobeying orders?" he was
asked.
"No, not exactly that. You saw the
orders which were sent to Dewey? They
were 'Find the Spanish fleet and destroy
it.' Similar orders were sent to Samp
son. He beard of Deweys great feat in
Manila harbor and perhaps he hoped to
duplicate it."
"But it is asserted that the first shot
was fired by the forts at San Juan."
"Oh, yes, that s all right; but I was
out west with a gun during the closed
season once, -when a labbitcame out and
kicked me. Of course I shot him, but
unfortunately ,1 had not a witness to the
assault by the rabbit.
TROUBLE BREWING
WITH AUSTRIA
Shooting of Austro-Huogarian Subjects
Promises to Add a New Feature
to the Present Situation.
Vienna, May 26. Ttere is a suspi
cion in well-informed circles here that
the refusal of the United States to com
ply with with Austria's request for rep
aration for the death of twenty-three
Anstro-Hungarian subjects shot at Ha
zelton. may be magnified by the admin
istration government into a pretext for
hostility toward the United States. It
Is well known that the emperor of Aus
tria has failed in every attempt to aid
his niece, the queen regent of Spain, by
embarrassing the United States through
the concert of the European powers,
The sturdy attitude of the British gov
ernment has brought all Austria's plans
against the United States to naught
As the emperor now has ground for
picking a quarrel with the United
States, the next step in the Austro-
American difficulty is looked for with
anxiety. - ' '.
CUBANS WILL
. FIGHT ALONE
They Ask Only Arms and Ammunition
and They Can Do the Rest
Key West, May 26. The United
States has begun in earnest the Wok of
supplying Cuban insurgents with am
munition. The torpedo boat Dupout
brings word of an important landing of
cartridges on the southern coast, where
the patriots are hemming in Cienfuegos.
The insurgents declared that with a
few more gnus and cartridges they
would take care of Cienfuegos them
selves without any further aid. They
declared they were closing in about the
city and keeping up constant forays and
alarms.
Word came from General Gomez that
he had 23,000 men at his call ready to
co-operate in any part of the island with
the American forces. ; All he wanted
was arms and supplies and he would
pledge himself to reduce the entire isl-
land, with the exception of Havana.

WAR WILL BE
QUICKLY ENDED
Government Preparing to Begin Active
Operations in Cuoa, the Philip
pines and Porto Rico at Once.
Washington, May 26. An important
conference of high officials was held with
the president at the White House to
day. Among those present were Secre
taries Long and Alger, General Miles,
Adjutant - General Corbin, Captains
Maban and Crowinshield, and Admiral
Sicard, of the naval strategv board.
The conference lasted several hours, but
none of the parties were willing to
speak of the matters under discussion
beyond the statement that it was the
first time the strategy board had joined
the other officials in a conference. The
whole field of military and naval opera
tions, present and prospective, was gone
over. There is reason to believe that
notwithstanding this reticence, a move
ment on Porto Rico is in contemplation,
and ehould it appear that the Spanish
fleet is hemmed in in Santiago, as is
believed, active operations will begin in
the near future against Cuba,' Porto
Rico and the Philippines.
This is believed to be the president's
purpose in calling for 75,000 additional
volunteers, and it is eaid to be not un
likely that other calls will be made as
rapidly as the troops can be equipped
until the effective force of the army will
be sufficient to make short work of the
Spanish forces wherever and whenever
encountered.
POLICY ADOPTED
BY M'KINLEY
News From Schley Looked for Hourly
Cervera's Fleet Will be Destroyed
in Order That Schley May Operate
Elsewhere.
Washington, May 26. Definite ad
vices from Schley telling of the condi
tions at Santiago and confirming the
understanding of the government that
the Spanish fleet is- still there, are ex
pected hourly. The naval officers are
in a position to speak aotboritively, and
say that they know positively tbat Cer
vera is still at Santiago; bnt the abso
lute assurance, in the opinion of those
who arranged the policy of the navy, is
that the first thing to do was to captnre
or destroy Cervera's ships. This policy
has been adopted by the president. If
were done, Schley's ships would be free
io operate elsewhere : but as the matter
now stands the energies of the war and
navy department will be put into play
to route out Cervera as soon as confirm
atory advices from Schley have been
received. ' ' -
SENSATIONAL
WAR RUMORS
No Information to Warrant Such Re
portSpanish Fleet Still at San
tiago De Cuba.
Washington, May 24. Sensational
war rumors were Irequent throughout
the day, but they were all denied as
soon as they were brought to the atten
tion of f the -navy officials. Secretary
Long announced at the close of the day
that be had no information to warrant
the report that a battle had taken place
in Windward Passage, tie expressed
the opinion that the Spanish fleet was
still at Santiago 'de Cuba.

in New Mexico.
Saste Fe, N. M., May 26. A bloody

last. A special from Albnqurque to
night says that Under-Sl.eriff FraDk
Vigil, Deputy .Sheriff Gustamenta and
an Indian ecout were shot dead by the
desperadoes. The two officers named,
together with seven Pueblo Indian trail
ers, had surrounded the robbers, who
were camped on Aimosa creek, about
seventy miles west of Bolen, where the
holdup occurred. The bandits were
commanded to surrender bnt instead
they opened fire with their rifles, with
result as above stated. Both bandits
escaped without their horses and one
man was wounded, leaving a trail of
blood for a short distance. Another
large posse is in pursuit. -
