greatest confusion followed and the
sitting was suspended. When busi
ness was resumed, Robledo continued
his remarks. He asked if the govern
ment desired peace or war. If pnuoe,
he added that Spain bad better have
negotiated directly with the United
Suites, as the powers would demand a
broker's commission in case they in
tervened. In the course of the speech
Robledo censured the minister of ma
rine and Admiral Cervera, accusing the
minister of granting unpatriotic inter
views. Captain Aunon defended the navy.

with the announcement that Admiral
Camara was on his way to the Philip

TO BLOCKADE
SOUTHERN COAST
It Will Extend from Cape
Frisco to Cape' Cruz.
Washington, June 28 The presi
dent ha issued a proclamation declar
ing a perfect blockade of the southern
coast of Cuba, extending from Cape
Frisco, the extreme western point of
Pinar Del Rio to Cape Cruz, ths west
ern terminus of the province of San
t ago de Cuba, also blockading San
Juan. Porto Rico.
The fleets under Admiral Sampson
and Commodore Schley will be dis
tributed along the southern coast of
Cuba with instructions to prevent the
landing of any vessels bearing war
supplies or provisions. :
This blockade is intended to prevent
the Spanish army from getting- sup
plies of any kind, and with the block
ade maintained along tbe northern
coast of Cuba, will bottle up the
Spanish army as completely as is tbe
fleet bottled up at Santiago. Shut off
from provisions and ammunition tbe
Spanish army In Cuba can hardly bold
out longer than two months.
REIGN OF
TERROR -AT
HAVANA.
Severe Orders Issued by Captain
General Blanco.
Key West, June 27. A Rritish sub
ject who arrived yesterday from Ha
vana, says affairs are in a critical state
at the Cuban capital. The city is
panio stricken, the inhabitants ex
pecting every moment to be bombard
ed by tbe American fleet, since Blanco
pursued a course that releases the
United States from the obligation of
givine the customary bombardment
notice.
Blanco has issued a proclamation
announcing that any one daring V ex
press an unfavorable opinion of, or
suspected of being dissatisfied with the
present policy of the government, will
be summarily shot without trial or in
vestigation. This proclamation, it
appears, caused dissatisfaction among
the members of the police force, who
threatened to revolt if full rations
were not given them. It is expected
that, as the police force is a numerous
body, trouble will result. Spanish in
fantry and artillery soldiers are main
taining guard over them .at every
corner. -
Famice is imminent, food supplies
having become ' very scaroa. The
troops are suffering from hunger, and
volunteers see their wives and child
ren starving to death. Under these
conditions, it will be difficult to keep
down riot much longer, and a revolt
among the soldiers is liable to occur
before the Jity is bombarded by Amer
icans. There are about 120,000 .me n
under arms in Havana, and many of
them would rather surrender than suf
fer longer from hunger.

" (Spain.
Washington. June 26. The prop
osition to attack the coast of Spain it
self, while not having progressed to
any definite stage, has not been abon
doned by tha administration. In this
connection, the statement of a cabinet
official ; yesterday that he favors an
early ordering of about ten of our
vessels of the first rating, with orders
to ca-ry what will be needed in the
course of so long a journey, to be taken
away from our fleet in Cuba and sent
direct on this misuion. is significant.
He said he believed that until some
such work as that is dooe by our forces
j Spain will fail to apprecaite the re
sources of the goverinent with which
he is at war.
Members of the adminstratlon have
no hesitation in sayiag such vessels
might be easily spared before long
with out detriment to our campaign
In Cuba.

GlenmoragT to be Wrecked.
All visitors to Ilwaco for the past
few ynars will remember the Glen
morag that went ashore on North
Beach. Several attempts have been
made to haul her into deep water, but
without success. At one time she
could have been floated bad a big tup;
been in readiness to give assistance
but since then she has gradually work
ed toward the shore, and is settling In
tbe sand. John Kierman, who bought
the vessel since she stranded, has
abandoned all hope of eyer saving her
and intends wrecking her for the iron
ropes, fixtures, etc. He will probably
come out about even on his invest
ment, as he has expended quite a sum
in the hopes of saving the vessel. To
those who have been aboard and walk
ed around the Glenmorag since she
has been in the present predicament,
it seems a shame that such a handsome
and large vessel will haye to be sacri
ficed in this manner. However tbe
old hull will be quite an attraction to
visitors at the beach, and many will be
the snapshots taken at the once mag
nificent Glenmorag which e proudly
vailed the Pacific.

A Crook I onnty Klondike.
Warde Huston, of Trout creek, is in
the city, and brings a good account of
the quartz ledge recently discovered in
that section by Alex, Friend and Clyde
Gay. The ledge he says averages
about four feet In with and can be
traced for several miles. So far the
ledge has not been prospected to any
extent, holes having been sunk only a
few feet on the load. Tbe ore is free gold
and the yellow metal can be seen with
the. naked eye, though only crude tests
have as yet been made.
Mr. Huston says tha discovery has
caused quite an excitement, and
large number of claims have been
located on the lodge and in the vicin
ity where the discovery was made.

The number of bogs about Salem is
being considerably reduced by reason
of an epidemic that is prevalent
throughout the valley, says the Salem
Journal. It is not thoroughly under
stood, an! the proper course to pursue
to evade Its fatal results is not known.
At first it was supposed to be cholera,
but from the fact that the hogs suffer
from the disease tor two or three
weeks before death occurs, it is con
sidered a more serious aliment.
