Port Au Prince, Ilayti, May 14.
The Americfan fleet under Bear-Admiral
Sampson, bombarded Ban Juan
de Porto Rico today.
The bombardment began this morn
ing. Rear-Admiral Sampson, with
nine warships, arrived before San
Joan just before sunrise. At a signal,
the battle-ship Iowa fired the firBt
shot, whioh took effect.. The battle
ship Indiana then opened fire. In
jew minutes more, Morro lortfess was
reduced to a heap of ruins. The fort
made little effort to respond and was
silenced almost instantly.
The Spanish steamer Rita was cap
tured by the auxiliary oruiser Yale,
BOMBARDMENT
which took her crew on board.
Morro fired but three Bhota from her
lieavy gunB. There were but seven
&hot.s fired from the big guns of the
American squadron. These left Morro
castle a crumbling ruin. Hei guns
were mute and her gunners killed or in
flight.
Then began the attack on the land
batteries and fortifications about the
government buildings and the palace.
Here the cruisers did effeotive service
and soon the postoffice and palace of
the governor were tumbled about the
eais of the officials, the guns dismount
ed or abandoned, wreck, ruin and death
everywhere. The Spaniards pluckily
eerved their guns as long as there was
anv hope, but their fire was Blow and
vi'ld.
One Amelrcan seaman aboard the
flagship New York was killed and nine
wounded. Not a single American ship
was harmed.
The city hod been deserted by mer-
. chants and non-combatants. The for
eign consuls had followed the refugees
into the country and the troops were
reported panic stricken. The volun
teers had fled.
But Governor Macias stuck to his
post, giving oidors and asserting that
' he would die before he would surren
der. A woman remained by his side.
It was his daughter Paulina, the belle
of San Juan. When, other women fled
In yellow fear, she remained. As
great shells shrieked and burst, throw
ing the city into confusion, she was
orged to go, but she elected to stay by
her father. As the terror-smitten vol
unteers rushed pell-inell through the
streets, disordered and loaderless, she
appeared and tried to rally them.
As a last resort she urged the men to
etand by the mines which have been
laid under San Juan's streets, and to
blow the Yankees into the air if they
e boa Id suoeeed in effecting a landing.
But her importunities were in vain,
and the story, as it is told here, repre
sents the Spaniards as eager to surren
der before the city itself is battered
down. '
The Garrisons Surrender.
London, May 14. The Evening News
eays: San Juan de Porto Rioo surren
dered at 6 o'clock yesterday evening.
The dispatch adds that damage was
done to the city and that a number of
important buildings collapsed.
The Iowa and Detroit, according to
this dispatch, fired 430 shots with ter
; rible effect.
The New York was hit once, and one
seaman was killed and fonr wounded.
The Iowa was bit onoe and two men
were slightly wounded. The dispatch
winds up with announcing that the
American fleet is now outside San Joan

Spanish War Teasels Sighted Off Nan
tucket Shoals.
New York, May 14. The British
steamer Menantio, which arrived yes
terday, reports that two torpedo-boats
were passed near Nantucket shoals yes
terday. Captain Mann said:
"At about 1 o'clock on the morning
of May 11, in latitude 40:50, longitude
68, a long, low-lying craft was seen ap
proaching under the shadows of the
Menantic's smoke. It came along rap
idly and was seen to be a torpedo-boat.
It flashed a light on us and crossed
under our stern, going to the east, and
fired a rocket, whioh was answered by
dot-ai)d-dash flashes. The night was
too dark to distinguish anything of the
nationality of the stranger.
"At daylight, about 20 miles east of
Nantucket south shoal lightship, an
other torpedo-boat was seen in the line
of the sun which dazzled the water too
much to make her out plainly. She
was of the destroyer class, and a very
large boat with a large funnel. Guns
were mounted on the bow. , bne ap
peared to be one of the recent English
type of torpedo-boat destroyers, and I
am sure there is no vessel of her class
in the American navy. The Menantio
ran close to the lightship on Nantucket
and reported to the presence of the
torpedo-boats."'

I am maintaining a strict blockade.

The dispatch is evidently a few
days old and does not show that Dewey
has possessed himself of Manila or that
he has received the last orders of the

ders in indioated by the assignment of
two such persons as Major-Generals
Merritt and Otis to command the
troops to be hurried to the Philippines
as rapidly as steam will take them.
General Merritt is the senior general in
the United States service after General
Miles, and in ordinary cases is entitled
to the most important commands, so
his designation for this work may be
taken as an evidence of the president's
estimate of the importance of this ex
pedition. THE CABINET CRISIS.

TORPEDO BOAT DAMAGED
Gunboats Wilmington and Hudson Were
In the Fight but M ere Uninjured
Dead and Wounded Taken to Key
West Caused by Carelessness.
Key West, May, 14. America's first
dead fell yesterday in a fierce and
bloody combat off Cardenas, on the
north coast of Cuba. Five men were
blown to pieces and five were wounded
on the torpedo-boat . Winslow. The
dead are: ' . '- ''- " '' L.-"-. . '

John Varveres, oiler.
John Denfy, first-class fireman.
Q. B. Meek, first-class fireman.
E. H. B. Tunuell (colored), cabin
cook. ' '
Four were wounded.
The battle lasted 85 minutes. It
was between the torpedo-boat Winslow,
the auxiliary tug Hudson and the gun
boat Wilmington on one side, and the
Cardenas batteries and four Spanish
gunboats on the other.
The Winslow was the main target of
the enemy, and was put out of service.
The other Ameican vessels were not
damaged, exoept that the Hudson's two
ventilators were slightly scrutohed by
flying shot ihe enemy's loss is largo'
ly conjeotural. One of their gunboats
caught fire and the men of the Hudson
think it sank. The fire spread to the
barracks and swept away several small
warehouses, and for a time the whole
waterfront seemed to be ablaze.
The Winslow was within 1,500 yards
of shore when the1 shells struck her,
How she came to bo eo close was told
by her commander, Lieutenant John B.
Bernadou. He said:
We were making observations when
the enemy opened fire on us. Ihe
Wilmington told us to go in and attack
the gunboats. We went in under full
steam and there is the result."
He was on the Hudson when he said
this and with the final words he point'
ed to a huddle of American flags on the
deck nearby. Under the Stars and
Stripes were outlined five rigid forms
The land batteries of Cardenas sup'
ported the fire of tbi Spanish gunboats.
The engagement commenced at 2:05
M., and lasted for about an hour. The
Wilmington and Hudson were ahead
and opened fire on the Spanish bouts
which were lying at the dock. The
firing began at a range of 8,500 yards
A few minutes later, the Winslow
came up ami also opened tore, in an
instant, the entire attention of the
Spanish gunboats and land batteries
was directed upon her. From all sides,
shot and shell poured in on the little
torpedo-boat The Wilmington and
Hudson still kept up their fire. The
crew of the Winslow never faltered for
a second. At 2:35, a solid shot crashed
into the hull of the Winslow and
knocked out her boiler. In a moment,
she began to roll and rock helplessly.
Then there was a moment of awful
suspense. A fierce cheer of triumph
went up from the Spanish on the gun
boats and in the batteries.
The storm of fire was continued upon
the helpless boat. The gunboat Hud
son, lying near by, started to the as
sistance of the Winslow. After about
20 minutes, the Hudson approached
near enough to throw a line. Ensign
Ragley and six men were standing in a
group on the deck of the Winslow
ready to catch a rope. A line was
thrown, and at about the same instant
a shell burst in the very midst of the
group of men on board the Winslow.
Bagley was instantly killed and a few
others dropped about him. Half a
dozen more men fell groaning on the
blood stained deck. One of the men
plunged headlong over the side of the
boat, but his feet caught in an iron
rail, and be was hauled back. Bagley's
body was stretched on deck, with his
face completely torn away, and the
upper part of his body shattered.
When the shell burst, another wild
shout of triumph went up from the
Spanish boats and batteries, and again
a heavy fire was opened on the torpedo
boat Finally, the Hudson succeeded in
getting a line on board the Winslow,
and was towing her out of the deadly
range when the line parted and again
both boats were at the mercy of the
Spanish fire.
UNDER HOT FIRE.
Ban Jnan's Forts Were Riddled Slight
Lou on American Side.
On Board the Flagship Iowa, off San
Juan de Porto Rico, May 16. The
enemy's loss in the attack by part of
Sampson's fleet on the forts of San Juan
is believed to be heavy. The American
loss is two men killed and seven men
injured.
After three' hours' firing, the ad
miral - withdrew the fleet, heading for
Key West. He said:
I am satisfied with the morning's
work. I could have taken San Juan,
but I have no force to hold it I only
wanted to administer punishment
This has been done. 1 came for the
Spanish fleet, and not for San Juan."
The men killed were:
Seaman Frank Widemark, of New
York.
A gunner's mate, of the Amphitrite.
The latter died from the effects of the
extreme heet.
Of the injured men, three were on
the Iowa and four on board the New
York. The names of those slightly in
jured on the Iowa are: Seaman
Mitchell, Private Marine Merkle, Ap
prentice Hill. Injured on the New
York: Seaman Samuel Feltman, seri
ously; Seaman Michael Murphy.
The four above-named were injured
by the bursting of a shell on the New
York. This is a complete liBt of the
killed and wounded.
The American ships are uninjured.
The engagement began at 5:15 A. M.
and ended at 8:1$ A. M. The enemy's
batteries were not silenoed. , The town
in the rear of the fortifications probably
suffered. The ships taking part in the
action were the Iowa, Indiana, New
York, Terror, Amphitrite, Detroit,
Montgomery, Waumpautuck and' Porter.
The enemy's firing was heavy, but
wild,; and the Iowa and New Xork
were' probably the only ships hit.
They went right up'under the' guns in
column, delivering broadsides and then
returned. They passed in front of the
forts, pouring tons of steel on shore. It
is impossible to judge, the amount of
damage done to the buildings and forts.
They appeared to be riddled with shot,
but the Spaniards were plucky. ' "
The after-turret of the Amphrite got
out Of order temporarily during the en
gagement, but she banged away with
her forward guns.
After the first passage before the
forts, the Detroit and Montgomery re
tired, their guns being too small to do
much damage. The Porter and Waum
pautuck also stayed out of range.
The smoke hung over everything,
spoiling the aim of the gunners and
making it Impossible to tell where our
shots struck. The officers and men of
the ships behaved with coolness and
bravery. The shots flew thick and
fast over all our ships.
The men who were hurt during the
action were injured by splinters thrown
by an eight-inch shell, which came
through a boat into the superstructure,
and scattered fragments in all direc
tions. The shot's oonrse was finally
ended on an iron plate an inch thick.
Merkle was struck in the arm and may
lose it. ' A' fire was started in the boat,
but was quickly extinguished.
Morro battery, on the eastern arm of
the harbor, was the principal point of
attack.
Rear-Admiral Sampson and Captain
Evans were on the lower bridge of the
Iowa, ond had a narrow escape from
the flying splinters, which injured
three men.
The Iowa was hit eight times, but
the shells made no impression on her
armor. The weather was fine, bet the
heavy swells made accurate aim diffi
cult The broadsides from the Iowa
und the Indiana rumbled in the hills
inshore five minutes after they were
delivered. Clouds of dust showed
where the shells struck, but the smoke
hung over everything.
The shells screeching overhead and
dropping around showed that the Span
iards still stuck to their guns.
At 7:45 A. M., Admiral Sampson
signaled "cease firing." "Return"
was sounded on the Iowa, and she
headed from the shore. The Terror
was, the last ship In the line, and, fail
ing to see the signal, she banged away
alone for about half an hour, the con
cert of shore guns roaring at her and
the water flying high around her from
the exploding shells. But she pos
sessed a charmed life, and reluctantly
retired at 8:15.
As at Matanzas, the unsatisfactory
conditions, the smoke and the dis
tance, prevented any Important con
clusions being diawn. The town of
San Juan must have suffered. Al
though somewhat protected by the
bills, the high shots must have reached
It No traces of the bombardment
were discernible on the forts, except
small fires, which were apparently eX'
tlnguished before the fleet left

OREGON'S SUGAR INDUSTRY.
The Trans-MlssiBslppl Fair Will Un
doubtedly Give It Great Impetus.
A proposition on foot at the Omaha
Trans-Mississippi fair this summer
which is of vital interest to Oregon
farmers. Is the manufactuie of sugar,
illustrated by a plant in operation on
the ground. The complete process, it
is said, will be il'ustrated and all
grades of the staple article will be
made in plain sight of spectators.
In connection with this project, ac
tive interest has been manifested by
the Oregon commissioners. Special
representatives of the commission have
visited the Grande Ronde valley and
the Willamette valley, and have ac
quainted those interested with the plan
for showing the progress made in late
years at utilizing the most plebian
looking plant known to the agricul
turist In a general way it is stated the sub
eot of sugar beet growing will be treat
ed from the time the seed is planted
until the orop is matured and will be
practically exemplified.
Arrangements have been made to
demonstrate at the fair that Oregon's
wondefully fertile soil Is especially
adapted to the growing of the beet,
and that if capital in the middle west-
em states is seeking an outlet in this
promising industry, Oregon offers the
best advantages and every inducement
to come here. It will be the purpose
of those in charge of Oregon's exhibit
to explain what has been done for the
industry at La G-rande and to show
that Willamette farmers will do the
same for a factory here.
The agricultural college faculty,
which has enlisted its support in a
gratifying way, will arrange complete
exuibit of Oregon soils with scientific
analysis. This will be displayed In the
horticultural building at Omaha and
all queries relating to soil and crops
will be answored In a most complete
and satisfactory manner,.- Whatever
shall be accomplished for Oregon at the
Trans-Mississippi fair will be praotical,
as the commissioners have had that
end in view in all they have under
taken to do.
R. D.Tnman, of Portland, who is
largely interested in working fox the
success of the Oregon display, says that
he Is satisfit-d that the Omaha exposi
tlon is to be a great success and ' that
Oregon will reap beneficial results in
greater proportion from the .fact that
the exposition city lies In the path of
thousands bound westward after gold
or a home this season. It is ' nearer
home and the attendance at the fair
will be drawn from all the trans-Mis-
aissippi states and the East. , If the
Paoifio coast states want more people
to settle in their borders, additional
capital and fresh industries, Mr. Inmnn
most heartily believes this is the time
to let the world hear from us. Too
much cannot be done for immigration
for upon future immigration depend
Oregon's advancement.
The General Exhibit.
The suooes of the Oregon display at
the Columbian Fair at Chicago will be
repeated on a far more comprehensive
scale at the Trans-Mississippi Exposi
tion, which opens in June. The state
commissioners appointed by Governor
Lord, bavins in charge the work of
preparation have gone aotiVely to work
and not a day has been lost. Funds
are pledged, there is over 6,000 feet of
space contracted for on the ground
floor of the department buildings at the
exposition, and everything is progress
ing toward a successful end.
From the time the subject was first
broached the proposed Oregon exhibit
at the fair has met with popular favor
The advantages to be derived from th
advertising which every section of the
state will receive there this year, seem
to be clearly realized. The advan
tages, it Is believed, will be greater in
pioportion than came from the Colum
blan fair, although in that world's con
grees of wonderful sights Oregon did
appear as quite a factor. The salmon
fisheries Of the Columbia, the wool
growing industries, the mines and
stock of Eastern and Southern Oregon
the fruits from Hood river and the
fertile Willamette valley, and the
varied other resources of this state will
be represented.
An exhibit at the Trans-Mississippi
exposition which will be noted with
the deepest Interest by the entire medi
cal fraternity will be the baby incuba
tor, and the progress of the poor, puny,
little lives that will inhabit it will be
watched by thousands of eyes. The
uvention Is designed to assist nature
In preserving the lives of newly born
babes who are too frail to battle for ex
istence, and the records show that
since 1891, when it was first Intro
duced, It has saved several thousand
human creatures by forcing pure ozone
into their lungs, providing an even
temperature for their sensitive little
bodies, and protecting them against
the thousand and one dangers to which
these tiny newcomers in this world are
exposed.
Australian Coal for Japan
The price of coal in Japan has risen
very greatly of late, far beyond any
expectation. Australia has been ship
ping coal to Japan and owing to the
high price of the commodity has found
the venture a paying one, notwith
standing the proximity of the Chinese
coal fields. A slight full in prices,
however, will stop the Australian im
ports. Harrow of Giraffes' Bones.
The flesh of young giraffes, especially

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
Trade Conditions In the Leading Cities
of the World.
fReported by Downing, Hopkins & Co., Inc.,
Board ol Trade Brokers, 711 to 714 Chamber of
Commerce building, Portland, Oregon.
A combination of circumstances has-
been at work to make Leiter's position
in wheat comparatively easy. Supplies
the world over are light, and the foreign
stocks are in such a condition that
France and Italy have been forced to
takeoff their import duty of 87c. Spain
has prohibited exports and imports and
Germany and Austria are considering
the advisability of removing or reduc-
ng their Import duty, Admitting that
supplies are low and the price of bread
everywhere is high, flour being up to $7
per barrel, the question arises, does the
real condition of supply and demand
warrant 'an advance of 40o to 53c a
bushel in the leading markets in a week?
If so it must be admitted that prises
have been too low ror months. If there
is not manipulation behind it Short
sellers are chiefly responsible for the
advance, but, even taking into consid
eration the light stocks in store in Eu
rope, there is no sonqd argument in tha
supply and demand theory, to sustain
11.70 for wheat here, when it is consid
ered that over 40,000,000 bushels are
afloat for Europe, against 17,000,000
bushels a year ago.' If all other grains,
were equally scarce, there might be
sound argument in the assertion that
wheat was "worth fancy prices. Specu
lation , !s more responsible for these
prices than the aotual demand, as values
are up to a famine point, and higher
than during the wild speculation that
prevailed at the time of and following
the dose of thecjvil war, allowing for
the premium on gold. One dollar and
fifty cents for oash wheat in Liverpool
and $1.85 or in Chioago, when the
freight charges from Chicago to Liver
pool, whioh are about 80o, including
the oost of selling there do not strike
