MUST FIGHT
OR EVACUATE
This Is Sampson's Ultimatum
to the Spaniards. .
Madriti, July 9. Captain-General
Blanco baa cabled the government
that Admiral Sampson ban issued an
ultimatum to tbe Spanish 'forces in
Cuba that they must evacuate all ports
on tbe island within 48 hours under
penally of every Cuban port being'
bombarded, and asks for instruc
tions. The news creates intense excitement
here, and it is the general opio-'
the government will instru' h
to Ignore tte ultimatum, prepare
to defend the Spanish po aa long as
he has a man left.
Washington, July 9. Inquiry at
the departments concerning Samp-
son's ultimatum fails to elicit any in
formation. Officials refuse to confirm

been ordered to make any demand
upon Blanco.
ORDERED TO VAN-
CO TJVER BARRACKS
Disappointment to the Soldiers of
Battery A.
Portland, July 9. There were a
lot of long faces among tbe men who
comprise battery A when they were
informed that they were assigned to
quarters at Vancouver barracks in
stead of being ordered direct to San
Francisco and from there to the
Philippines with the next expedition.
However, they cheerfully accepted the
inevitable and left today for Vancouver
where they will be quartered uutil
ordered to the Philippines.
Capt. Greenleaf's men had expected
to be given an opportunity to engage
in active service at once, and it was a
sore disapointment to then that they
should be huddled into tbe barracks at
Vancouver there to await orders.

AFFAIRS IN PORTLAND.
The New Reform Administration Not
in Good Repute.
cial correspondence.!
'Portland, July 8. The Mason re
form administration, after being in
only a week, is being severely criti
cized by the people. More saloons are
violating the 1 o'clock closing ordi
nance than ever before, all the Chin
ese lotteries are running full blast.
there are as many disreputable dance
houses as ever, and the festive nickel'
in-the-slot machine is found smiling
in every gin mill.
It Is understood that the blackmail
collected from saloon-keepers, so that
they can violate the closing ordinance,
has been increased, the price charged
for the big slot machines remains at
$5 per week, and it is to be presumed
the other violations of the law are
winked at for a well-establlsbed fee,
Of course these matters are not
pressed home to the people by the
dally papers here. It is not to the In'
terest of these sheets to disclose tbe
fact that the "reform" administration
is as much on the "graft" as its prede
cessors.
THE OLD EMPLOYES
Of the fire department, removed by
Mayor Pennoyer, after being out for
two years, are practically all in line
again. It is somewhat singular that
only a very few of them obtained very
steady employment during their en
forced abstinence from public pap.
Either times were very bad, indeed, or
they possessed no qualifications for
successful private undertakings. It Is
safe to wager that those who have
been removed now will hibernate for
the next two years, living on the hope
that their "push" will again win. It
is a very sad matter to contemplate
that after the average citizen has bad
a public position, no matter how sub
ordinate, he Is practically unfitted for
any other work.
Brier Notes.
The Oregon Press Association will
meet at Spokane j'lntly with the
Washington Association on
August
nrntrinrf
25th, 26th and 27th. It is understood
that means are being taken to have
the Idaho and Montana newspapermen
to also attend.
The Oregon Industrial Exposition
will hold its annual meeting In this
city, opening on September 22d, and
continuing for thirty days. Tbe man
agement is already actively at work to
make it a very successful exhibition.
A BAD
OUT
LOOK IN SPAIN
Destruction of Cervera's Fleet Liable
to Precipitate a Revolution.
London, July 8. A special dispatch
from Madrid says all Spain knows of
Cervera's defeat, and the people are
begining to realize '.he magnitude of
the disaster. The conservative press
exhorts good citizens to maintain
peace. An important circular has
been sent to all republican organiza
tion signed by the leardera, bearing
the motto "Prepare."
In the meantime extraordinary mil
itary precautions have been taken to
quell internal troubles. General Cor
rea, the minister of war, Is working
day and nlyht. A second call has
been Issued for tbe Canary island re
serves, and additional forces of home
infantry and cavalry are being raised
while the artillery is being augmented
by two pieces to each battery. The
Peninsula armies will total up 220,000
men by July 15.
Talk of Intervention.
LONDON, England, July 8. Dis
patches from the Continental cap
itals still talk of European inter
vention in the Hispano- Amer
ican war. France is being represented
as taking the initiative, and Germany
and the other powers are deolining to
interfere.
By way of France comes a rumor
that Senor Moret is advocating that
Spain should sue for peace, "because
It is ridiculous even to suppose that
she could tire the United States," and
because -'Spain can only expect fresh
defeatx, placing her in a worse posi
tion than ever."

Nothing definite has been' received
from Sampson up to this hour,concern-

that hard fighting is goinson.
Strict orders have been .iBSuedJboth

HOBSON TELLS HIS STORY.
How
He Sunk the Merrimac
How He Surrendered.
and
Following Is Lelutenant Hobson's
account of the darrlng deed he per
formed at the enterance of Santiago
harbor.
"I did not miss the entrance to the
harbor," he said "as Ensign Powell, In
the launch, supposed. I headed east
until I got my bearings, and then made
for It, straight in. 'Then came the Br
ine. . It was grand, flashing out from
one side, then the other, from those
big guns on the hills, the Vlzcaya'
lying inside the harbor, joining in.
"Troops from Santiago had rushed
down when the news of the Merrimac's
coming was telegraphed, and soldiers
lined the foot of tbe cliffs, firing wildly
across and killing each other with
their crossfire.
"The Merrimac's steering gear broke
as she got to h-strella point. Only
three of the torpedoes on her side ex
ploded when I touched tbe bottom. A
hugh submarine mine caught her full
amidships, and hurling water high in
the air aDd tearing a great rent in the
Merrimac's side. Her stern ran up on
Estrella point.
"Chiefly owing to the work done by
the mine, she began to sink slowly.
At that time she was across the chan
nel, before she settled the tide drifted
her around.
"We were all aft, lying on the deck.
Shells and bullets whletled around us.
The six-inch shells from the Vizcaya
came tearing into the Merrimac, crash
ing into wood and iron and passing
clear through, while the pludglng
shots from the forts broke through
her decks.
" 'Not a man must move,' I said,
and it was only owing to the splendid
discipline of the men that all of us
were not killed, as shells sailed over us
and Routes became hours of susp ense,
I The men's mouths crew narched. but
The men's mouths grew parched, but
we must lie there till daylight, I told
them.
Now and again one or the other of
the men lying with his face glued to
the deck: and wondering whether the
next shell would come our way, would
say, 'Hadn't we better drop off now,
sir?'. But I said, ' Walt till daylight.'
It would have been impossible to get
the catamaran any where but to the
shore, where the soldiers stood shooting
and i honed that by daylight we might
be recognized and saved.
The graud old Merrimac kept sink
ing. I wanted to go foi ward and see
the damage done there, where nearly
all the fire was directed, but one man
said that if I rose it would draw the
fire on tbe rest; so I lay motionless.
It was splendid the way those men be
haved. The fire of the soldiers, the
batteries and the Vlzcaya was awful.
'When the water came up on the
Merrimac's decks tbe catamaran float
ed amid the wreckage, but was still
made fast to tbe boom, and we caught
hold of the edge and clung on, our
head.4 being above water.
One man thoguht we were safer
right there; it wa3 quite light, the fir
ing had ceased, except that on the
New York's launch, and I feared En
sign Poweu and Lis men had been
killed.
"A Spanish launch came toward the
Merrimac. We agreed to capture her
and run. Just as she came close, the
Spaniards saw us, and half a dozen
marines jumped up and pointed their
rifles at out beads.
'Is there any officer in that boat to
receive a sui render of prisoners of war?
I shouted. An old man leaned over
under the awning and waved his hand.
It was Admiral Cervera. The marines
lowered their rifles, and we ware help
ed into the launch.
"Then we were put In cells In Morro
castle. Afterwards we were takea in
to Santiago. I had the court-martial
room in the barracks. My men were
kept prisoners in the hospital."

POLITICAL GOSSIP
Ex-Senator Corbott Will Not Be Elect
ed Senator.
Portland, July 12. One of the
most prominent republican leaders of
the state is credited with the state
ment that some dark horse will be
elected C. S. senator. In his ewn
words be said, "Mr. Corbett is the
logical candidate for U. S. senator,
but under no circumstances can he
coutrol more than 40 votes. There
will be no binding caucus excepting
upon terms that will eliminate all ac.
tive candidates and especially Mr.
Corbett. There will be no deadlock.
The opponents of Mr. Corbett will
vote for such republicans as George H.
Williams, Binger Hermann, Stephen A.
Lowell or Governor-elect Geer. As
soon as it is seen that Mr. Corbett can
not be elected, but practically that
any other republican can be, the pres
sure of the people for an early settle
ment of the question will be so great
as to sweep all before It.
