THE DALLES WEEKLY CHRONICLE WEDNESDAY. JUNE 1, 1898.
GETTING READY
TO VOLUNTEER
Quotas of Various States Under the
Second Call Will Rapidly Come
Forward.
St Louis, May 28. In the coarse of a
few days the second call of the nation for
volunteers will be answered by the state
of Missouri. Adjutant Bell several days
ago devised plans and decided upon the
section of the state for the raise of a
' new national guard in case of an emer
gency.. The Adjutant has decided not to form
any more regiments, but to organize the
companies over the state, giving prefer
ence to those sections not already rep
resented in the volunteer army. Mis
souri's apportionment of the call is over
300 men and of this number St. Louis
will furnish six companies. A -
Immense purchases of fancy groceries
were made'yesterday for the army in the
South by Captain Dunstan, commissary
of supplies stationed in this city. The
"orders placed aggregated $50,000 and the
goods will be shipped as fast as possible
: to Chickamauga. While these orders
vm nlarad bv the government throush
its commieslonary here, the goods will
not be delivered to the soldiers as part
of their regular rations. They will be
old to the officers and men at cost price
' as extras for their mess.
SCHLEY MiKING
PREPARATIONS
The Clash Is Now Expected In at Least
Three or Four Days.
Kky West, May 30 Any doubt which
may have existed regarding the exact
location of Admiral Carvers s fleet have
. beeu removed by the dispetch brought
In by scout ships. The Spenish squad
ron is acchored in the harbor of Santaigo,
and the problem remains for the com
manders of the American fleet to dip pose
of the enemy, either by "corking the
bottle," or by forcing the long, narrow
passage and smashing the strong Span
ish squadron at anchorage.
The commanders have chosen. It has
been said that the campaign against
Cervera might be ended by demolishing
the forts at the harbor entrance, block
ading the channel and isolating the
Spanish fleet until other problems of
the war are worked out. This, how
ever, is not in line with the American
policy, and simply accepting the view
of the situation taken by naval ox pert 8
here. Cevera will have to accept battle
at once.' It is confidently expected that
a bard blow will be struck within three
or four days, and the result will be
known to the world at the expiration of
that time. '
It has not been dieclosed as to wheth
er Schley will be reinforced, bat it
would not be surprising if some addi
tional ships were sent to him.
Off Santiago De Cuba, May 29;
Commodore Schley and the flying squad
ron have the Spanish fleet bottled up in
the harbor of Santiago. By the most
clever maneuvering the commodore al
lowed the Spaniards to think he had
left in disgust. They took the bait and
ran into the harbor. Schley moved
down this morning, and at 6 o'clock by
going close to the harbor, he saw the
Cristobal Colon, the Maria Teresa and
two torpedo-boats. Schley has acted
upon bis own information and judgment
for six days, and believes the whole
Spanish fleet is there. After the dis
covery of the fleet be went to breakfast
saying:
'' 'I have got them and they will never
get home.'
"The anxitiary cruiser St. Paul ar
rived here this morning, and was eent to
Mole St. Nicholas with dispatches. She
captured a coal ship, which was eent to
Key West by Captain Sigsbee, in charge
of a prize crew. The coal undoubtedly
was intended for the Spanish fleet. It
is believed there is not much coal at
Santiago. '
"The officers and men of the flying
squadron are jabiiant over the fact that
the location of the Spanish fleet has
been definitely established. The tem
perature here is 110 in the shade, and in
the steel turrects the heat is actually be
yond the power of ' imagination. The
American vessels here are the Brooklyn,
Texas, Massachusetts,' Iowa, Marble
bead, and Vixen, a torpedo-gunboat." .
- The Rowan's Coming Trial. . . (
Seattle, May 27.- The official trial
trip ot the torpedo-boat Bowan will
probably take place Monday or Tuesday.
Lieutenant-Commander Chas. P. Per
Icios commanding the. Mod ad nock, has
been designated as preeident of the tial
board.
8lx Probably Drowned.
' Pottsville, Pa., May 28. While
miners were working in the Red Ash'
vein of Caska William colliery, about
ten miles east of here, a large body of
water was struck and six men are sup
posed to have been drowned.
THE SITUATION
IS UNCHANGED
Food Supplies Coming Into Manila
From the Surrounding Country. '
Hong Kong, May 30. The British
cruiser Pique has arrived here from
Iloilo and Manila. The Spanish garri
son at Hollo numbers 100 men, and the
place has no defenses. The foreigners
there are safe. -
Food - supplies are reaching Mapila
plentifully from the surrounding coun
try. - . ' '
The Spaniards are working upon' for
tifications, but their guns are old' and
useless and they are short of ammuni
tion. - :
Admiral Dewey has informed the au
thorities at Manila that he will hold
them responsible for the life of the cap
tain of the Spanish gunboat Callao, cap
tured by the United States fleet. ,The
Spaniards have been threatening to
shoot him for surrendering when con
fronted by the whole American fleet.
Fresh provisions are not obtainable at
Manila, but there is no sickness in the
American fleet.
In reply to a Spanish attempt to win
over Agninaldo's men, the insurgents
are said to have informed the Spaniards
that they are neutral, and will await de
velopments. .
The Americans captured the Spanish
gunboat Leyte, while the latter was at
tempting to run dispatches into Iloilo.
A steamer is reported to have landed
6000 -rifles at Cavite'for the use of the
insurgents. . '
The Spanish have offered $75,000 tor
bead of Aguinalda, the insurgent leader.
SPANISH SPIES
TO BE ARRESTED
Letters are Belived to Be in the Hands
of the Assistant Secretary of War
Which Will Warrant Wholesale
Arrests.
Washington, May 30. When Polo y
Bernabe left Montreal it was generally
supposed that thv principal diplomat of.
the Spanish legation at Washington had
departed from America, but such was
not the case.- Do Bosc, who was first
secretary of the legation here under that
wily Spaniard, is acknowledged to be
the most shrewd and most tricky gentle
man ever connected .with the Spanish
service in the United States.
It has been known for some time that
the Spanish spy system still continues
in the United States. . These. curs in the
hire of Spain are of geveral nationalities.
Of course they do not report direct to
representatives of the Sagasta govern
ment now at Canada.but thoir commun
ications are sent to '.the agents of Du
Bosc at Toronto and Niagra Falls and
other Canadian towns. The secret serv
ice bureau knows many of these men
add have succeeded in intercepting sev
eral important letters in the past few
days, which are likely to lead to numer
ous arrests.'- The incident of the stolen
letters in Montreal is well known to the
secret service authorities here and they
do not hesitate to acknowledge complic
ity in the fact. In fact it is generally
believed that the letters. for which Du
Boec is willing to pay ten thousand dol
lars are already in the hands of the As
sistant Secritary of War Meiklejohn,and
that thiongh the receipt of them there
will be wholesale arrests of these men,
who have been receiving very handsome
stipends from Du Bosc for betraying the
country that protects them. .

London, May 2S. In the Northern
transept of Westminster, where Eng

William Eveart Gladstone were en

SAGASTA'S RACE
ALMOST RUN
An Overthrow of the Cabinet Only a
Matter of Time.
New York, May 30. A dispatch to
tbe Herald from Madrid' says:
The most pessimistic ' rumors are
already prevailing in diplomatic circles
regareing the durability of the new
cabinet recently constructed by Senor
Sagasta.. Harmony dees not prevail in
this cabinet, in which- free-trade and
protection are both represented. The
crisis, which is sbortely expected, will
be precipitated by the discard prevalihg
between Camazo, the minister of
commerce, who is a parties m of the in
come tax, and Puigcerver, the minister
of finance, who is an opponent of the
measure.
While the imminent fall of the Sagasta
ministry is discussed., the talk of
politicians is also as to who is likely to
obtain tbe premiership. The name
which has been heard most frequently
mentioned is Senor Silvela, a progres
sist. ' '' ' ..
AN EMBASSADOR
PERHAPS A SPY
Information in the Hands of the War
Department May Cause A Repeti
tion of the De Lome Episode.
Washington, May; 28. There is a
very ugly, story afloat today, which
involves tbe Australian ambassador in
act of hostility towards tbe United
States and which will certainly lead to
another DeLome incident. If the inves
tigation proves it to - he- true, it is said
that Secretary Day has been advised by
Profossor Schoenfeldt, who occupies the
chair of ancient and modern history in
the Columbian university, a naturalized
German-American, and formerly tutor
to DeLome'e children, that he has been
invited to act a Spanish' spy.( The
story goes that a former atache of the
legation called upon Profossor Schoen
faldt with a proposition, to seen re infor
mation for the Spaniards. He is eaid to
have satisfied the professor that be was
sent by the ambassador above referred
to." Schoenfeldt promised to consider
tbe proposition, but, although sympa
thizing with the Spanish side of the
Cuban question, he submitted the mat
ter to the state department. Secretary
Day is absent and no one else in tbe
department knows anything of the facts.
Assistant Secretary Meiklejghn, of the
war department, who has charge of .tbe
secret service, declares that be has not
beard a word on tbe subject but this is
not surprising at all, as the state de
partment would naturally consider it a
diplomatic affair, and not such as need
be referred to the federal detective
force as-yet.

. Ac Agreement Reached.
Washington, May 30. It is said on
good authority that tha trade discussion
with France, which begun directly upon
the appointment of Mr. Casson to take
charge .of the reciprocity negotiations,
has come to successful conclusion. It iB
understood commercial arrangement
was signed last Saturday by French
Ambeseador Cambon on the barf of tbe
French, and by Mr. Casson, on tbe part
of tbe United States. The agreement
will go into effect in Jane. ,,'..

Bichards, sergeant of artillery, ot duty
at a mortar battery near Fort Taylor,
was fired upon last night by three -unknown
men, whom he says he knows to

says the three men carried a package
containing dynamite, with which they
intended to destroy the batteries. 4 V
