Sty Daiks VOL. XI THE DALLES, OREGON, THURSDAY MORNING, MAY 26, 1898. NO 01 CAMPAIGN T BI RUSHED Dynamite Cruiser Vesuvius to Be Made Use of in Destroying the Hidden Mines in Santiago Harbor. CHEAT CONFIDENCE PLACED IN SAMPSON It Is Now Only a Matter of a Short Time Until Ccrvcra Must Succumb to the Inevitable. Ki:v West, May So. The dispatch boat Wanda has just returned here and reports alio left Admiral Sampson's fleet nt I.oIhih Koy light. Tho Wandu fol lowed the fleet nwny when It left here Saturday morning lust. Sampson's (lent left Havana for Santiago Monday. Admiral Corvera's fleet is bottled in Santiago harbor, and Sampson and Schley are outside preparing to destroy the Spanish cruisers. When Sampson starts the bombard ment of the city, the beginning of tho end will have come. His orders have been to find the Spanish fleet and de stroy it. Tho Spaniards will not have an opportunity to outfit and make a dash for the open sea at night. Strategists give Sampson credit for leaving Santiago harbor open to Cervera. His chief object was to prevent the fleet from entering Havana harbor by guard ing Windward Passage, and ho accom plished this. No orders have beon given as to whether the fleet shall force an en trance into the passage or shall take some other means to get at Cervera. Great faith ib placed in Sampson, whoso knowledge of torpedoes, mines and ordinance is second to that of no other officer in the navy. If it Is possible to reach the Spanish ships they will be attacked almost im mediately. Sampson will first demolish the outer forte and then under Are of the fleet, destroy tho mines in the chan nel. The dynamite cruiser Vesuvius can be usod to good advantage, as by hurling huge masses of high explosives into the chuunol all tho hidden mines can bo exploded. Strategists believe that Sampson will waste nor more time than did Dewey at Manila, nnd when he has finished Spain's last weapon of defense on this continont will be gone. Commodore Schloy left Koy West last Friday and with him wore the battlo fillips Massachaotts and Texas, armored cruiser Brooklyn and the auxiliary crui ser Scorpion. The battleship Iowa fol lowed Schloy on Friday and was over taken by the torpedo boat Dupont ofF Cape San Antonio. OREGON BOYS HAVE SAILED San Franslsco Went Wild With Enthus iasm on the Occasion. San Fkanoisoo, May 24. San Fran cisco gavo an exhibition of American patriotism never before approached in tho city's history when 2500 of Uncle Sam's troops departed on the transports the City of Pekln, the Australia and the City of Sydney, to establish Amorican wle In the Philippines. Fully 100,000 people surrounded the fleet for two hours before it weighed anohor and steamed for the Golden Gate Crafts of every description, from an or dinary Whitehall to the big ocoan liner Ronoko, were in the stream. Every ves sel flew the start and stripes from every mast. Each vessel carried a band of intnie and the Intermingling of twenty national airs, titer cheers front thous ands of soldiers, the responses from tho fluet of the excureionistp, and of the thousands who had packed the dock for four miles along the water front, made a scene that will lie as long as the mem ory of ttiosts who witnessed it. San Francisco simply turned loono and gavo tho soldier boys a Bend-on" befitting nn epoch-mirking occasion in the history of the nation. Three o'clock was tho hour set for the sailing of tho fleet, and for hours before a stream of humanity moved toward the water front with the intention of gain ing some point ol vantago to watch tho departure of tho troops. Ily two o'clock it was estimated that 100,000 people oc cupied the dockB nnd places from which ngood view could be obtained. The shipping along the front was gaily deco rated with bunting and flags of every nation except Spain.

SCHLEY OFF A Speofly Attack Will Be Made Her ycra is ThongW to Be Securely Caught in the Yankey Trap, PLANS MADE FOR CAPTURING CERVERA The Fleet Has Not Been Seen as the View is Obscured By the Hills Surrounding the Bay. Washington, May 25. The plans of the navy department for crushing the Spanish fleet under Cervera, and thus obviating the necessity of keeping American Bhips to guard the entrance to Santiago, has been matured. Samp eon's views on that subject are awaited witlt interest. A dispatch from Samp son whs received this evening; but its contents was not disclosed at a late hour. Naval officers agree that the prospect of crushing Cervera is not easy to accom plish, and the main point involved is whether it shall be attempted now or not until other plans are carried out. It is the deBire of the military author ities to begin invasions of Cuba and Porto Rico as soon as possible; but it must depend largely on the resources of tho navy. By keeping four armor-clads before Santiago, only Boven would be left for operations elsewhere. The Cadi, reserve squadron has become a fuctor in the situation, and while strate gists hardly imagine it will be sent to the West Indies, surprise must be guarded against. There is a desire on the part of the naval authorities to inaugurate a speedy attack on Cervera by the arinor-clade. No matter what difficulties may be en countered, it is considered preferable to resorting to the slow process of starving out the enemy while a second Spanish squadron roams the seas. A cipher dispatch from Commodore Schley was received at the department this evening. He is off Santiago guard ing the entrance to prevent the escape of the Spanish fleet. In his message Schley gave some of the information that came from him yesterday about the presence of Cervera in Santiago bay, but it is understood that the Spanish ships are not visible from the position occupied by Schley, on account of the hills surrounding the harbor. It is said that the statements from Schley that Cervera had not left Santiago was based on information furnished him by one of the fast scout ships that have been watching off that port for several days. CONFLAGRATION IT ASTORIA Disastrous Blaze Sweeps Out a Part of That City Loss Estimated at Fifty Thousand Dollars. Abtokia. Or.. May 25. The most dis astrous conflagration since 1883, visited this citv today. It started in the box factory of the Clatsop Mill, and fanned by a strong westerly breeze the building was ouicklv consumed. The flames spread eastward with great rapidity and in half au hour from the time that tue alarm sounded everything between the box factory aud Kopp'a brewery was burning. The Pacific Union Cannery building followed the box factory, and in a few minutes the Columbia Cannery caught. In the former were a large number ot nets, thirteen of which were lost, to gether with several boats and personal effects of the fishermen. The Columbia Cannery was not in operation, but con tained a large quantity of machinery. When it was seen that the two can neries could not be served, tho firemen bent all their energies toward saving Kopp's brewery, and succeeded. Mean while the net racks for a quarter of a mile eastward had caught from embers, and both canneries were seriously threatened, but a well organized force under Manager Chuttar saved it. The old Leinenweber cannery building next caught on Are and was almost to tally destroyed in half an hour. About twenty fisherman lost their nets and a few boats. There were no fatalities, al though two employes of the box factory were seriously burned. The total loss is estimated at $50,000, which was only partially covered by in surance. ZELANDIA TO GO TO MANILA Coal for Our Ships Steamer Ning Chow Arrives at San Francisco. San Francisco, May 25. The steamer Zelandia will be prepared to sail for Manila with troops. Under act of con gress she is admitted to American char ter, and when Ehe sails next it will be with the stars and Btripes at her mast head. Captain Howard will lose no time in discharging the vessel and pre paring for the accommodation of troops. It is expected that she will be ready to sail in a week. The steamer Ning Chow has arrived with a cargo of coal from Puget Bound. The government has been negotiating for the charter of the collier for several days, and it is possible that she and her cargo may be sent to the assistance of Dewey's fleet. A big cargo of coal al ready purchased by the government has arrived here on tho Peter Jensen, which may also go to Manila. The Oceanic Steamship Company has been wiped out of steamers by the gov ernment, and as every other vessel in port is engaged, it is expected that the passengers booked for Honolulu will be turned over to the Occidental & Oriental Company for passage on the Doric. An effort was made to charter the new steamer Senator, but owing to the enor mous accumulation of grain at Tacoma she could not be spared by her owners. SPANISH DONS They Attempt to Induce the Cubans to Bear Arms Against the United States With Promises of Freedom. Pakib, May 25. Senor N. De Cande nas, financial delegate of the insurgent Cuban government, who is now in Paris to raise funds for the insurgents, said today : "Eight days ago I was vieited by a friend who informed me he was charged in the interests of Spain to approach me and other Cubans in Paris before going with proposals to Cuba to ask the Cuban Insurgents if they would range them selves on the side of Spain and against America if Spain agreed to grant Cuba independence. I refused to eutertain any proposal of the kind, "Castillo's movements are connected with those attempts to alienate Cuban insurgent sympathies, and the Spanieh embassy here is cognizant of, if not di recting what is going on."
