DIFFICULTY IN GETTING NEWS Nothing Confirmatory Concerning Cer vera's Whereabouts He Has, in All Probability, Escaped. New Youk, May 28. A special re ceived from the Lallan News Bureau in explanation of last night's report of Cuvora's uscapo, says : 'Our Kingston story of last night merely quoted ono of tho Scorpion's ollicors as saying he had not located Covera nt Santiago. Schley's report to tho war department Into this afternoon gave no confirmation of the fact that be had Schley bottled up in Santiago har bor." Key Wekt, May 28. Advices received tonight state that Cervera has escaped, and his whereabouts aro unknown. The Associated Press in its assertions con cerning Corvera being bottled up was unwarranted by any facts, and their re ports tonight have him escaped. THE SITUATION AT MANILA Dewey Has Cut the Last Telegraphic Communication Between. Manila and Spain. Ho.no Ko.no, May 28. Dispatch boat 'afarla hus just arrived, bringing Mr. Williams, former United States consul at Manila, to consult with Consul Wild man at Hong Kong, concerning the posi tion of tho insurgent force. The situa tion at Manila is unchanged. Aguinal do, the insurgent leader, has his head quarters at Cftvita, and it Is crowded with volunteers, fie captured on Wednesday outside of Malila two bul lock carts of ammunition mid 4000 rifles, without lose of life. The Spaniards hnvo been using tho oible line batween Manila and Lloilo in connection with a swift steamer to La baan, British North Borneo, whence there is coble connection with Spain. Dewey diicovered this and cut the tele graph line, thus isolating Captain-Gon- oral Augusti from communication with Spain. Tho captain-general insists that relief for Manila is on its way from Spain. The best of health prevails on Ameri can ships at Manila. Ni:v Youk, May 28. A dispatch to the World from Manila via Hong Kong says : The situation of tho besieged inhabi tants of Manila is growing more and moro desperate, owing to tho cutting off of supplies. The blockade by Dew ey's squadron Is complete, while tho inBiirgonts have surrounded tho city on tho land side, thus effectually closing the place in. Dewey has deferred further aggressive action nt this point until the arrival of the cruiser Charleston witli coal and ammunition, and of the promised troops for the mi!U tory occupation of the islands. GETTING READY TO VOLUNTEER Quotas of Various States Under the Second Call Will Rapidly Come Forward. St Louik, May 28. In the courRe of a few days tho second call of the nation for volunteers will be answered by the state of Missouri. Adjutant Bell several days ago devised plans and decided upon the section of the Btate for the raise of n new national guard in case of an emer gency. The Adjutant has decided not to form any more regiments, but to organize the companies over the state, giving prefer ence to those sections not already rep resented in tho volunteer army. Mis souri's apportionment of the call 1b over 300 men and of this number St. Louis will furnish six companies. Immense purchases of fancy groceries were madejyesterday for the army in the South by Captain Dunstan, commissary of supplies stationed in this city. The orders placed aggregated $50,000 and the goods will be shipped us fust as possiblo to Chickamauga. While these orders were placed by tho government through its commisslonary here, the goods will not be dolivered to the soldiers ub part of their regular rations. They will be sold to the officers ami men at cost price as extras for their mess. ATTACK0N MISSIONARIES Chiuesc .Mob Loots and Destroys Amer ican Mission. Troops Ordered to Ouell the Outbreak.

Washington, May 28. There is a very ugly etory nflrnt today, which involves the Australian ambassador in act of hostility towards the United States and which will certainly lead to another DeLome Incident. If the inves tigation proves it to be true, it is said that Secretary Day has been advised by ProfosEor Schoeufeldt, who occupies the chair of ancient and tfl.od.ern. history In the Columbian university, a naturalised German-American, and formerly tutor to DeLoite'fl children, that he has been invited to act a Spanish spy. The etory goes that a former atache of the legation called upon ProfoESor Schoen faldt with a proposition to secure infor mation for the Spaniards. He is said to have satisfied the professor that be was sent by the ambassador above referred to. Sehoenfeldt promised to consider the proposition, but, although sympa thizing with the Spanish side of the Cuban question, he submitted the mat ter to the state department. Secretary Day is absent and no one else in the department knows anything of the facts. Assistant Secretary Meiklejohn, of the war department, who has charge of the secret service, declares that be bas not heard a word on the subject but this is not surprising at all, as the state de partment would naturally consider It a diplomatic affair, and not such as need be referred to the federal detective force as yet. ADMIRAL DEWEY'S NEXT PLAN. The Caroline Islands Will be Seized No Doubt About the Capture of the Philippines. Washington, May 28. The complete capture of the Philippines by the army and navy of the United States will be followed by another important campaign in the South Pacific Caroline islands. The dependency of Spain, it is under stood, will be seized. Some of Admiral Dewey's ships and possibly the admiral himself will undertake the conquest. It is the opinion here that the islands will fall an easy prey to our Pacific fleet un less Spain should send naval reinforce ments to the Pacific, which is consid ered extremely probable. The Caroline islands have given the American govern ment a good deal of trouble during the last few years because of the persecu tion of American missionaries. CAPE VERDE HIS DESTINATION It is Thought Cervcra Has Left for That IVtut The Whole Matter is a Mystery. Key West, May 28. Positive infor mation by a dispatch boat trom Santi ago says that no Spanish squadron was there Tuesday. As far as could be seen the American ships but not Schley's squadron nre blockading that port. The best authorities say that there is no probability of the Spaniards going to Santiago because when there they would be unable to communicate with Havana as the insurgents hold all the country back of that city. Tho Span iards could communicate with Havana if they should go to Cionfuego, but it is known Cervera was not at that port Tuesday and it is absolutely certain he cannot get there without fighting. The scouts might try to find him in Porto Rico ports boou with success as the Spaniards must soon go to the port for coal. Many think they nre returning to Cape Verde and it is not impossible that they wero off the north coast of Cuba Wednesday but not likely. It Is now certain they aro not on the shore side of Cuba. This information comes direct from high authority. OFFERS OPPOSITION With Assistance of Italy She Will Qp pose the Concession of the Philip pine Islands, Rome, May 28. It is certain that tho government of Germany has demanded the odherance of Ita'y to oppose any possible cession of the Philippine Isl ands by Spain to France or any other country. The Italian government is in perfect accord with Germany on this question. t General Saletta, chief of the Italian general staff, is in Berlin on an import ant mission, in view of probable Euro pean complications.

CONCERNING THE RESERVE. B. B. Ormsby Writes a Letter Express ing Ills Views on the Subject. Fred W. Wilson, secretary of the Wool-Growers Association, received a letter from the special forest agent and supervisor, which is as follows : Salem, May 23, 189S. Fred W. Wilson, Secy. O. W. G. A.: Dear Sin: I am informed that cer tain parties (sheep-owners) have con cluded that they do not care to obtain a permit to graze their sheep on the Cas cade range forest reserve the coming season, and also propose to enter the reserve when they please and go where they please. It is not to bo denied that the matter of government control of the grazing lambs of the reserve will be in a large measure experimental the present season and based on the good faith and desire of harmony of the sheep owners themselves. Neither is it claimed that the few who have made this threat will not be able to carry out their present intentions in the absence of a sufficient force to guard the reserve; but of one thing be assured, that there will be a final settlement of the matter in thu near future. And if it will require a great deal to keep sheep off the reserve before the alloted time and control their movements sufficiently, the same guard may be used to exclude them from the reserve entirely next season. I am aware that these remarks do not apply to ninety-nine per cent of sheep owners who have evinced a desire to be fair and honorable in this matter, but It must bo evident to eyery member of your association that tho lawless acts of a few cannot fall to injure t'ie many. As icgards my own action I can only obey instructions and enforce the re quirements of the department the best 1 can with the foice at my disposal. 1 have ordered an officer of the depart ment to the Fish Lake region and shall do what I can to protect those who show a disposition to observe the require ments, in their rights cu the range. Regarding the assignment of territory it will bo plain to every one that from the descriptions given me one may overlap another or the same location hediller ently described and therefor assigned to different parties. For this reason no one should throw up his range of last season and apply for that of another, nor should one seek to dispossess another of the range he has formerly occupied with the idea that he will he permitted to hold it permanently. It may be stated I think as a certainty that a new assignment of territory will be made next season. Respectfully yours. S. B. Ohmsiiv, Special Forest Agent and Supv'r.
