C I J VOL. IX THE DALLES, OREGON, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1896 NO 210 TO DESTROY KEV WEST Latest Plot of the Spanish Authorities. WILL ATTEMPT TO BURN THE CITY General Weyler Has Appro ed Sanctioned the riot Spanish Troops Coming to Cnba. Key West, Sept. 7. A letter was re ceived from Havana last night by the steamer Mascotte containing the infor mation that the Spanish authorities are plotting the destruction of Key West. A similar report reached here several days ago, but at that time it was not generally believed. The ' letter was written by a Cuban in Havana to a friend in this city. The writer says that a few days ago he went to the govern ment in Havana and was informed by a friend employed there that Spanish au thorities had determined to burn Key West and annihilate the nest of "in surgent snakes." The plan of the Spanish is to send emissaries to Key' West in the guise of Cuban sympathizers, who are to fire the city in as many places as. possible when opportunity arises. It is said that Captain-General Weyler is cognizant of the plan and approves of it. He is reported to have said that if Key West and Tampa were laid in ashes he would soon be able to settle the rebellion. It is said that in the event of the success ot the plot Weyler has ordered that the emissaries be paid $10,000. The people nere are so wrought up that it is feared an attack may be made on Senor Gruse, the Spanish consul and bis assistant, Senor Hernandez. It.waa reported today that these,, gentlemen, becoming alarmed for their safety, had gone aboard the Cnited States revenue cutter Winona and demanded protec tion, and that they were told to remain on the vessel until the excitement died out. , The citizens have determined to form a vigilance committee, and every per son who cannot give a good account of himself will be forced to leave the city, PKBD1CTS A HIED WINTER.

The Herald pub lishes the following-special correspond ence from Palmacita, Cuba, under date of August 30 : 'jCescoro is in ruins, and another step has been taken toward' the ultimate ex pulsion of Spanish troops from, Cuba. The forces of Rosa and Pena have laid waste the entire heart of the town, leav ing the occupants of the forts in a pre carious position. The inmates of Ces . coros forts are now in a pretty bad way, no food of any kind being allowed to en ter the place. Cescoro is a small place, oui important irom the tact that it Is a relay station for troops marching be? tween the cities of Puerto Principe and Guayamaro." - - A Whale Is Landed. Tacoma, Sept. 7.

General Jones and Mr. Remmel, the Republican candidate, made an active canvass of the state, but Flies, the Pop. ulist nominee, made no speeches. -The Democrats put forth special efforts to make a Iirge -majority, for its moral effect on the free silver cause, in other states, in November. ' Memphis, Sept. 7. The Commercial Appeal's Little Rock correspondent tele graphs that the Democratic majority in Arkansas will reach 60,000.

Why Spaniards Will Transport Troops In American Vessels. New York, Sept. 7. The news that Spanish government has chartered seven American vessels to be used in trans porting the troops to Cuba was brought to the attention of Fidel Pierra, member of the executive committee of the Cuban junty in thia city yesterday. Mr. Pierra said : " ' k ' "They are afraid to carry their troops in their own vessels. They know that the Cubans would think twice before blowing up a boat sailing under a foreign flag, and that we will not hesitate for a moment to blow np a Spanish vessel. I do nit see any other reason why they should charter these vessels, for the .Spanish transportation company has enough boats to carry all their troops to Cuba, and would be glad of the oppor tunity of making the money. Then, Spain is very intimate with the trans portation company, and their ' vessels ought certainly to receive the preference. "They expected to send 40,000 men to Cuba, and at the rate of 10,000 a month it will take them until December to do so. By the time they get the last ,10,000 there the first 10,000 will have disap peared, and more, perhaps. I do not think they will send as many as 40,000 men, although tbey need them to replace those that have already died. - - "We here in the United States do not know the number of sick men they have, who, if they recover, will never be worth anything to themselves or any one else, but we have an idea of the enormous number, by the fact that they cannot find buildings .enough in ' Havana and other large cities in which . to bouse them.- Even the building of the house of chanties in Havana, which was occu pied by about 300 little girls, has been. transformed . into a military hospital, and the little children scattered over the city, and every other establishment of that character has been treated in the same manner. The number of sick and wounded Spanairds is' something enormous.'- . . ----- Unoklen'o Arxnca naive.
