THE DALLES WEEKLY CHRONICLE SATURDAY. JUNE 4, 1898.
THE 110 FLEETS
A Combined Attack on
and Schley Five Thousand Insurgents Will
Strike From the Land Side.
CAPE HAYTIEN, June 2.-A report which is considered
jeliable states that the combined fleets ot Sampson and
Schley are hammering away with their strongest guns at the
-defenses at Santiago.
Advices received here are to the effect that the two fleets
formed a junction near Santiago last night. There was a
conference on board Sampson's flag-ship, with the result that
this morning at 10 o'clock a combined attack was begun.
There were said to be sixteen warships in the combined
fleets.
Up to a late hour no report had been received here as
to the outcome of -the battle, or whether the mined entrance
to the harbor had been forced. -
A significant feature of the bombardment was that the
insurgents who were armed and equipped were co-operating
with the Americans and were attacking the city from the
land side. Their number is variously estimated at from
three to five thousand.
THE PROGRAM
UNMASKED.
The Publication of General Alger's
Letter Throws Light on the Ques
tion of Invasion.
I.
Washington, J one 2. The unexpected
publication of Secretary Alger's letter to
the speaker of the house yesterday, in
which he outlined the plan for the in
vasion of Cuba and Porto Rico, has
practically unmasked the program of
the war department. The publication
of that letter was a grave mistake, due,
perhaps, to the failure of the clerks in
the war department who inclosed it, to
signify that it was s confidential cqm
mnnicatk. v,- 'he envelope. But the
damage is done sow. and the public ad
vised officially of matters which the war
department wonld not have heBitated to
deny but for the exietence of the secre
tary's letter.
' It baa practically demonstrated, too,
that the administration has purposely
subjected itself to criticism by permit
ting semi-official publication of the al
leged fact that the Cuban invasion has
been indefinitely postponed, notwith
standing the harsh comment which fol
lowed the news of the supposed aban
donment of the Cuban expedition.
No word wnld have been permitted
to leak out froui official sources concern
ing the plans of the invasion but for the
premature publication oi that letter.
. Today it is admitted, however, that a
large body of troops has already depart
ed for the purpose of landing in the
province of Santiago. The exact time of
their departure is still kept a secret, and
whether these troops have already land
ed or will be ablk to land before Satur
day, is known only to the authorities
who arranged for their transportation.
The distance between Tampa and the
barbor of Santiago is about eight hun
dred miles. At least fifty-four boors
would be required to move transports
from the Florida roast to the doomed
city, if all transports are moderately
speedy vessels.
In the meantime a report reaches
Washington, by way of New York, that
Schley has again bombarded Santiago
todar and that he is being 'supported
from tbe land side by a large body ot in
surgents. In view of the fact that
Schley has been advised that Sampson is
on the way to reinforce him, tbe depart
ment is not disposed to credit thid re
port. ' It is eald by naval officers that if there
has been an engagement, it is doe to an
attempt having been made by some of'
Cervera's ships to escape.' There is no
question now that the insurgents are -prepared
to mass all of their - forces in
tbe province"of Santiago, around the
town of that name, and to afford , all
P0P1JIII
Santiago By Sampson
possible aid to the American lai . force
when the real work of the attack begins.
The authorities here, however, do not
believe that there will be anything more
than a skirmish between the Americans
and the Spanish before Sunday at the
earliest.
LEFT TO DIE
ON AN ICY TRAIL
Cruel Abandonment of an Aged Klon
diker on His. Way Home, by Other
Members of His Party.
Sioux City, la., June 2. Loaded
with wealth, but deserted and starving,
Jon Eochel, once a well-known manu
facturer of this city, perished last April
on the trail between Dawson and Dyea,
Alaska. The news of his death reached
here in a letter to his widow by Richard
Hendrickson, from Seattle. .
The details of Bochel's death are mea
ger, but from what can be gleaned it
appears that he was returning from tbe
mines after disposing of a valuable
claim. His party was short of provi
sions, and as Rochel, who was quite an
old man, delayed the march, it was de
cided to abandon him.
Rochel bad been engaged here In the
manufacture of brick, but was tempted
by the stories of immense wealth in Al
aska. From all accounts be was among
the luckiest of the miners at Dawson,
but was unable to bring his winnings
back to civilization. His body will be
brought here for burial.
KAISER'S BROTHER
MADE THE APOLOGY
A Hong Kong Incident in Which the
Spirit of the Hero of Manila to Be
Was Demonstrated. . '
Chicago, Jone 2. Charles N. Poet,
vice president of the Lyon & Healy
Company, who has just returned from a
tour of the Orient, met Admiral Dewey
in Hong Kong, March 25. Mr. Post
tells of a social passage at arms between
Dewey and Prince Henry, a brother of
Emperor WiliUm, commanding the
German squadron at Hong Kong.
Prince Henry, immediately after his
arrival at Hong Kong, gave a banquet
to the high officers oi the other fleets,
among whom was Rear-Admiral Dewey.
At the feast the prince proposed a toast
to his own country, then to Great Brit
ain, then to all tbe great powers, except
tbe United States. Finally just before
the dinner was over, the royal host pro
posed a toast to this country. When
Rear-Admiral Dewey saw . that appar
ently his country was to be slighted, he
lett the banquet without ceremony.
The next day a representative of
Prince Henry sent a roundabout appolo-
gy to the American commander. Dew-;
ey sent back word to . the emperor's
brother that he would accept nothing
but a written or personal apology from
the prince, The latter then called upon
Dewey and apologized,- saying that in
the confusion of the dinner he thought
lessly neglected to put the American
toast in its proper place on the pro
gram. . '
While Mr. Post was at Hong Kong,
Prince Henry gave a ball, but Admiral
Dewey .although invited, did not attend.
Tbe affair was not allowed to get out,
and Mr. Post received it first-hand from
one of the officers of the American
fleet. ,
OLD GLORY FLOATS
OVER CUBA
The Stars and Stripes Have Been
Hoisted on Cuban Soil Span
iards Powerless to Remove It.
Key West, June 2. For two weeks
the American flag has been floating over
Cuban soil, and the people of the Car
denas have been wild with Spanish rage,
because they are-powerless to haul it
down. It is on the little island known
as Piedras Kay, two miles' from the
weal month of Carienas harbor.
The gunboat Leyden ran in one day.
Whereupon a few of the inhabitants,
who were left to guard tbe lighthouse,
rowed to mainland. Then a boat's crew
went ashore and hoisted an American
Sag on a thirty-foot pole. With three
gunboats in the harbor, the inhabitants
dare not come ont to attempt the re
capture of the lighthouse, and are con
tenting themselves with towing ont
lighters filled with iron and stone and
sinking them in the only channel un-
mined. The Leyden on Thursday got a
shot at them, whereupon they fled.
A RASH SUICIDE

G. W. Dillman of the Astoria & Colum
bia River Railroad Blows Out His
Brains at Young's Bay.
Astoria, June 2. G. W. Dillman,
a civil engineer employed by the A. &
C. R. R, came down from Clatskania
Monday and disappeared Tuesday. In
vestigation by friends and the police
failed to disclose his whereabouts; but
this afternoon bis body was found on the
shore of Young's bay, sooth of this city,
with a revolver bv his side and a bullet
hole in his right temple.
He has been employed for over two
years in the engineering department of
the A. & C. R. R., and came here from
Spokane, where he is understood to have
a brother prominent in politics. . He
was married to Mrs. Funge, of this ciiy,
about a year ago. '
The reason prompting the rash act is
unknown. --'

ships of tbe navy, has been ordered to
prepare to go to Manila. She is on the
Paget sound and can be got ready in a
short time. She, with the Monterey,
will make quite an addition to Dewey's

VICTORY EXPECTED
AT ANY TIME
Purpose to Hold Naval Force
in Check Till Infantry
Arrives Abandoned.
Little Uneasiness is Felt About the Ca-
diz Fleet Coming to West Indies
It Is More Likely to Turn Its At
tcntion to the Philippines.
Washington, June 2. The navy de
partment is waiting anxiously for news
of the big battle at Santiago. According
to tbe belief of the naval officials famil
iar with the instructions sent to Samp
son and Schley, an engagement proba
bly occurred today. It is evident that
the purpose of holding the naval force
in check, until tbe military force ar
rives, has been abandoned, and nnder
Sampson's directions, the United Statee
warships will again be permitted to en
gage the shore batteries, and, if possible,
attempt to run through the mines to en
gage Cervera in the harbor.
Sampson has joined Schley and their
combined divisions comprise six power
ful armor-clads and a number of other
vessels. It is the understanding that if
Sampson arrived yesterday an attack
would' begin this morning. The feeling
prevails in the administration circles
that tbe battle of Santiago may in effect
end the war. The indications that
Spain is anxions to sue for peace have
been plentiful lately and officials evi
dently have soire knowledge causing
them to credit the reports that the
Madrid government is already tired of
the struggle. The Cadiz reserve fleet is
not considered as a factor and the offi
cers do not think it will ever come to the
West Indies. It was considered more
probabl that they would go to the
Philippines, but this is not believed. It
is contended that with Cervera destroy
ed or captured, Spain would not be
foolish to continue the struggle,
but the conviction that Spain is about
ready to give in is based largely on tbe
reports concerning the bank of Spain,
without the aid of which the govern
ment would be powerless to continue tbe
war.
The likelihood that peace negotiations
may be begun unexpectedly has caused
the administration to push tbe cam
paign agrinst Porto Rico.
Sampson was heard from yesterday,
and his position at the time of the dis
patch warrants officials in believing lie
reached Santiago last nightor this morn
ing.
All of the armor .tlad vessels of the
United States navy except the Indiana
are at at Santiago, and news of a victory
may come at any momejt.
