THE DALLES WEEKLY CHRONICLE, WEDNESDAY. JUNE 8. 1808.
AN ENTRANCE
WAS FORGED
The Bombardment of Santi
ago Eenewed.
TWO SPANISH
VESSELS SUNK
One American Vessel Said to Be Badly
Damaged Troops From Key West
Effected a 'Landing Attack Soon
to Be Made.
Poet ao Pbisce, Jone 6. Advices re
ceived here today Uate that , tbe bom
bard men t of Santiago was resumed this
morning by the American fleet.
It is said the American fleet succeeded
in forcing tbe harbor, having first de
stroyed the wreck of the Merrimac.
After entering the harbor they en
gaged the Spanish fleet and after some
very hot fighting sank two of them.
It is reported that one American vea-
83l was damaged, bat this is not con
firmed.
The United Stales military expedition
consisting of 5000 troops, which re
cently left Key Wet, has been landed
at Ponta Gorda. Tbe expedition is said
to be thoronghly equipped with siege
gone which will be need in the reduction
of Santiago.
The Landing party comprised three
regiments of infantry, three batteries
and one battalion of engineers. Tbe men
who landed werennder protection of the
battleships and got ashore expediently
and without seriousVipposition. There
are now twenty-nine American warships
hovering off Santiago.
GREAT VICTORY
FOR REPUBLICANS
Geer Elected by 7000, While tbe State
Ticket Will Be Elected fcy 5000.
man the Merrimac eight men, . who
are now prisoners of . war in
Santiago, performed an act of great
peril, which can scarcely be appreciated
at this distance and that there should
have been four thousand eager to volun
teer for duty, demonstrates more forci
ble than could be demonstrated in any
other manner that the American navy
is composed of men who can be de
pended on for any sort of perilous duty
on any occasion. Every one of the Mer
ri mac's crew fs certain to be prom'oted
as soon as they 'are released, and it is
likely that some means will be devised
whereby warrants or commissions will
be provided for enlisted men.

EXPECTED
Schley Reports That tlie Battle of Sauti
ap Will he the Bloodiest of the

Torpedo Boat Terror Recently Cap
tured Clears the Way for the
Transportation of Troops.
Portland, June 7. The returns from
- tbe state election show a complete vic
tory for tbe Republicans.
The plurality of Geer for governor will
approach 7,000, and it is almost certain
that tbe entire Republican state ticket
will be elected by at least 5,000 plurality.
Tbe Republicans have elected the ma
jority of the members of the legislature
"d both congressmen. M. A. Moody,
the Republican nominee for congress in
the Second district, will have at least
2,000 plurality, and probably more;
while Thomas Tongue, in the First dis
trict, will be elected by 1,000 majority.
In Multnomah county all the Repub
lican legislative ticket has been elected,
while tbe contest for state senator be
tween Joseph Simon and W. T. Home
is considered very close.
Washington-, June 6. Tbe sinking
of the Terror, a Spanish torpedo-boat
destroyer, by the Oregon, still further
clears the situation so tar as tbe-send-
ing of troops to Porto Rico is concerned.
According to the best advices of the
navy department there is today not a
single vessel of tbe Spanish fleet any
where in the vicinity of the northern
coast line of tbe Antilles more formida
ble than a gunboat.
The troop-ships, which have sailed
from Mobile and which are to receive
reinforcements fro in Tampa and Jack
sonville, will require fewer convoys than
it was . originally intended to send witb
them. So long as the Terror, which tbe
navy department fully believes has been
destroyed, was fl she was a dan
gerous menace to t fleet of transports.
The Terror's epeed was twenty-eight
knots an hour, and she might have sunk
half-dozen troop ships before she
could have been overtaken by even the
fleetest vessel in the squadron.
There are etiil believed to be three or
four Spanish vessels in the-vicinity of
San Juan, but they are not of such a
character as to create the slightest ap
prehension on tbe part of tbe authori
ties there. Consequently the Porto
Rican expedition will be pushed with
all possible speed, and present indica
tions are that by the first of next week
a landing will have been effected which
will reeult in the speedy capture of that
island by the American forces.

Washington, June 4. Soon after the
meeting of tbe house on Monday a reso
lution will be introduced, calling on the
secretary of the navy to ascertain and
report to congress immediately of the
eeven men, who with the naval con
structor, Hobeon, formed tbe crew of the
Merrimac just before she was sunk in
the channel at the entrance to the har
bor at Santiago.
It is tbe present intention to offer a
resolution of thanks to each of the eight
men by name. Tbe magnificent bravery
which tbev displayed in volunteering
for such a perilous task has excited the
admiration of every man in' congress
who has beard tbe details, and it is safe
to say that if those whose names were
known, and if. the boose was in session
tonight, a resolution ot thanks' would go
through unanimously.
. The fact that Cervera, under a flag of
truce, sent to Sampson his recognition
of this magnificient act of gallantry, is
an indication that in volunteering to
The First Expedition From the United
States Said to Have Landed and
Joined Garcia's Forces.
New York, June 6. A special from
Kingston reports that 5000 United
States troops have landed near Punta
Cabrera, a little to tbe weet of Santiago,
wbere a junction was effected with Gen
eral Calixto Garcia's army of 3000 insur
gents. It is added that the landing was
effected under "cover of tbe fire of Samp-
eon's fleet. Witb tbe troops were sev
eral heavy siege guns.
THE DEATH OF
CAPTAIN GRIDLEY
One of the Heroes of Manila Succumbs
to His Wound.
Erie, Pa., June 6. Last night the
family of Captain Gridley, residing here,
was notified by tbe navy department of
the death of tbe husband and father as a
reeult of the battle of Manila.
Captain Gridley has two daughters
and a son. - Mrs. Gridley was in tbe
midat of preparations to go to San Fran
cisco to meet ber husband and accom
pany him across tbe continent to his
home.
NO SEA ROOM
IN JHE CHANNEL
Kky West, June 6. Advice by the
dispatch boat, received here this after
noon, from Santiago, state that only
thirty-one feet of eea room is left in tbe
channel, the rest be'ng now blockaded
by tbe wreck of the Merrimac. There
fore, none but smaller vessels' can get in
or out.
, Washington, June 3. Commodore
Schley has demonstrated to the presi
dent and the navy department in dis
patches received from him today that
Santiago de Cuba . is likely to be the
scene of the bloodiest battle of the war.
The fortresses guarding the entrance to
the harbor are so strong and their guns so
effective that he thought it prudent to
try first conclusions with them at a dis
tance of four miles.
Toe commodore's dispatches were
laid before the president and his cabi
net, and subsequently fuller details
were bulletined at the navy department.
It is now quite evident tbat Schley,
after making observations and before
fiirng on Santiago fortresses, "sent for
Sampson and a large part of .the rear
admiral's squadron.
Schley's dispatches made it manifest
to tbe preeideut and bis cabinet tbat tbe
final flattie at Santiago will be the turn
ing point of the war, and that place can
only be aesanlted successfully by tbe
combined American fleets.
The navy department bulletin con
firms in all important details the Jour
nal'a vivid description of last Tneeday's
engagement.
The bulletin issued at this late day
is important only for its buggestions.
Two lines are important, witn significant
reading between them. First, that tbe
decisive battle now pending or in pro-,
gress, must be at long range.
Second, that the foots are weli sup
plied with large long range guns.
This clearly implies that thecombined
fleet of Schley and Sampson will be re
quired to do the work.
Schley on the 29th of May, after re
ceiving reports, sketches and observa
tions from Sigsbee on the St. Paul, sent
Capt. Sigsbee to find Sampson. Tbe
rear-admiral moved, according to all re
ports, on Monday night to make a junc
tion with Schley. In the meantime, on
May 31st, Schley forced tbe Santiago
forte to reveal their place and power.
- The last reports from Sampson were
by Sigsbee; who met the rear admiral
moving east along the north shore of
Cuba. Sampson was then conveying
part oi a transport fleet, and this fact
explains why Sampson had not arrived
at Santiago de Cnba on Tuesday at 1 :45
p. jn. when Schley opened fire on the
batteries.
The bulletin was commented on un
favorably by some of the department
people. They said thatthere is nothing
in the text to affirm without qualifica
tion that Cervera's equadron is in San
tiago harbor.
The department, it is noted, did not
think it necessary to report in the
space of the bulletin issued the
official statements of either Sigbee or
Schley, and the press reports confirm
the fact that at least tbe Crietobal Colon
was in evidence on tbe day of the en
gagement.
