CAMPAIGN MAPPED OUT.
Flu fo a Combined Lad and Naval
Attack em Baiaaa Maw Complete.
New York, April !, A Times
Washington special says: The plans
for the joint land and naval attack upon
Havana have been practically decided
upon. They have been the subject of
deliberation at a number of meetings
s)( the naval strategic board, of councils
of the joint war and navy board, and ot
conferences between the governmental
and military officials.
From the hret it was considered ab
solutely essential that there should be
a joint movement of land and naval
forces ot the united States against the
Spaniards in Cuba, and the only thing
left tor discussion was the best coursu
to be pursued in carrying out this plan.
One difficulty that has continually pie
Rented itself is the fact that the navy
is ready for an advance on Havana
within an hour after the declaration ot
war,- while the army could not possibly
throw any considerable foroe into Cuba
in less than 48 hours. Should the fleet
of Captain Sampson wait until the
army is ready? has been asked, or
should it as soon as war was determined
upon, proceed to carry out its instruc
tions and invest Havana from the sea?
It is now decided that the fleet will
at once move on Havana, invest it, and
at the same time hold open the Florida
Bt raits for the free transportation of
troops in the island. A pait of the
fleet will be employed for this purpose
as well as to keep open the gulf to the
west of Havana for a like purpose.
As soon as the army is ready, wbioh
will be within 43 hours, a considerable
body of troops will be thrown into the
province of Pinar del Rio, in the neigh
borhood, probably, of Bahia Honda,
and an advmoe upon Havana will be
begun at once. The fleet will co-oper-
ate with the land forces from the mo
ment they land in Cuba, and both will
attack Havana simultaneously. Even
if the resolution finally passed by con
gress does not recognize the present
Republican govrenment in the island,
the plan of the army is to nnite with
the armies of ttomez and Garcia as
allies against the Spaniards. '
It is probable that troops will be sent
to join these revolutionary armies in
Puerto Principe or Santa Clara, or that
ships will be Eent to transport some of
the Cuban troops to the vicinity of the
capital. , In any event an effort will be
made to co-operate at once with the
armies of the revolutionary leaders in
the work of driving the Spaniards out
of the island.
With the establishment of a stable
and independent government in free
Cuba the army will have nothing to do.
at least with the preliminary part of
the campaign. Its task is to sweep the
Spaniards out ot the island. To do
this most effectively it will at once
seek the closest alliance with the revol
utionary troops. The war department
is certain that Gomes and Garcia have
respectable armies in the eastern part
of the island. This conclusion is based
pon the fact that they have been able
to bold back the Spanish arms, and
even to win notauie vie tones against
some of the best officers of Spain.
These revolutionary troops, aided by
some American regulars and supplied
with arms and ammunition, will be
able, it is thought, to do. very effective
work against the soldiers nnder Blanco
and Pando.

Schley, commander of the flying squad
ron, yesterday, which caused him to
leave his anchorage off Fortress Monroe
at 2 o'clock Wednesday and proceed to
sea. It can be authoritatively stated
that Commodore Schley had no other
instructions. Should it be deemed ad
visable while he is at sea to direct him
to a better strategic point than Hamp

structions will be sent to him by one
of the vessels now lying at Norfolk or

The authorities are desirous of sta
tioning the flying squadron at a better

It is understood that the squadron will
proceed first to Porto Rico and thence
to European waters, and it is there
fore considered a wise plan to put the
ships, as near Porto Rico as possible, in
order that no time may be lost alter

There has been some talk of having
the ships drop down as far south as

great gain in the distance saved, snd

"We. the Republican voters of the

state as well as of the whole nation on
the unmistakable fact that the dark
cloud of adversity, which has hung like
pall over our fair land, has been dia-

ot prosperity is due to the restoration
of the Republican paity to power.
We are in favor of the maintenance
of the present gold standard; we are
unqualifiedly opposed to the free coin
age of silver and to all other schemes
looking to the debasement of the cur-
rency and the repudiation of debt. We
believe that the best money in the
world is none too good to be assured by
the government to the laborer as the
fmit of his toil and to the farmer as the
price of his crop. We condemn the
continued agitation for free silver as
calculated to jeopardise the prosperity
of the country and to shake the conn
dence of the people in the maintenance
of a wise financial policy; we particu
larly condemn as unpatuoticthe efforts
ot the free-silver agitators to array class
against class and section ftrunst tec
ion; we declare that the interests ot
all classes and of all sections of our
country alike demand a sound and
stable financial system.
"While we deplore the imminence of
war, we recognize that the country is
on the eve of war, undertaken for the
vindication of the national honor and
the performance of a work diotated by
every instinct of humanity; we declare
that the administration is entitled in
this conflict to the confidence and sup
port of the entire people.
"We are firmly attached to the prin
ciples of the federal constitution; we
recognize that representative govern
ment is one of these principles, and we
are opposed to any change in law or
constitution which will abrogate this
time-honored principle.
We are in favor of retrenchment
and reform in state and county matters.
"We demand strict economy in pub

The salmon fishing industry, so
fruitful a source of revenue to the state,
should be fostered, and to that end we

We affirm onr allegiance to the
principles of the Republican party of
the United States, as enunciated by the'
Repnblican convention in Bt. Louis in
1896.
"We denounce the fusion party of
Oregon as an aggregation of spoilsmen,
who are ready to subordinate principles
to offices. Each of the parties to this
compact is willing to stultify itself and
form alliances with elements which it
has heretofore denounced as dangerous
and unfit to be intrusted with power;
we declare that good government can
not come from such an alliance."

The Prohibition party ot Oregon

made:
Representatives First district, L.

The national platform, which was
adopted, follows:
"The prohibition party, in national
convention assembled, declares its
conviction that the manufacture, ex
portation, importation and sale of al
coholic beverages has produced such
social, commercial, industrial and po
litical wrongs, and is now so threaten
ing the perpetuity of all our social aud
political institutions that the suppres
sion of the same by a national party,
organized therefor, is the greatest ob
ject to be accomplished by the voters
ot oni country, and is of such import
ance that it of right ought to control
the political aotion of all our patriotio
citizens until such suppression is ac
complished. The urgency of this cause ;
demands the union without further de
lay ot all citizens who desire the pro
hibition of the liquor truffle; therefore,
"Resolved, That we favor the legal
prohibition, by state and national leg
islation, of the manufacture, importa
tion, exportation and interstate trans
portation and sale of alcohol io bever
ages; that wa declare our purpose to
organize and unite all the friends of
prohibition into one party, and in order
to accomplish this, end, we deem it but
right to leave every prohibitionist the
freedom of his own convictions upon

BIGGEST FIND OF ALL.
A Great Mine Nssr Susanvllle, Grant
County.
W. P. Mount, of Susan vi lie, arrived
in Canyon City Wednesday, having iu
his possession some of the richest and
most beautiful free gold quarts speci
mens ever seen in this country, taken
from his recent discovery, the Sky
scraper mine. The specimens exhibited
were of the pretty white quartz variety,
almost identically the same as taken
from the Vitrnemine, near Baker City,
and came nearer Deing nuggets than
"I have known for several months I
past that the Skyscraper would, if suffi
ciently developed, become a bullion-!
producer of no mean importance, said
Mr. Mount, "but the past week has
shown it to be perhaps the richest mine
on the coast Even prior to the finding
ot the extremely rich body of ore uncov
ered a few days ago, the normal and
continuous wealth of the ledge was re
garded by practical mining men as
phenomenal, the returns from samples
taken indiscriminately ranging from
80 to 350 per ton. April 1 a body of
gold was encountered in. the level fol
lowing the ledge, a description of which
would sound moie like fiction than
fact. At this point the lively, clear-
cut, bard quartz is literally welded and
bound together by the yellow metal,
samples going as high as $150,000 per
ton. From eight ounces of this ore $25
was extracted in coarse gold, while se
lected specimens would give greater re
turns. From the result of three days
stripping we estimate that $30,000
worth of ore will be taken out. The
deposit of gold has been traced along
the ledge for a distance of 1,700 feet,
showing an ore chute of very unusual
length, and the ledge ranging in width
frnm nnn In fnm feui. Kvnrr narticln
0f the rock extracted from the com-
mencement of operations last August
up to the present time will aveiage
$100 per ton, something unknown in
the history of gold mining the world
over.
"It is not a pocket ledge by any
means, as may be surmised from its ex
treme richness, but at times the gold
seems to be concentrated in .very rich
bunohes, though without interfering a
particle with the regular precipitation
of the wealth characteristic of the ledge.
"Negotiations aro under way for the
erection of a modern stamp mill of
large capacity, including rockbreaker,
concentrator and self-feeder. Jnst as
soon as the roads are in good condition
the plant will be forwarded to the prop
erty without delay."
The Skyscraper is not the only mine
in the Husanville district, by any
means. Messrs. De Witt and McLean,
Operating the Hughes group in the in
terest of a Ban Francisco company,
have completed their shipment of ore
and are now pushing development work
vigorously and as soon as the roads will
admit they will have a 10-itarnp mill.
Tbe ore body exposed by Horace Sloan
last winter looks like a bouquet to a
miner's eye, and is already attracting
the attention of mining men. ' The ore
chute is between five and eight feot
wide, and in the neighborhood of 60
feet long. Milling tests show a free
gold deposit of almost $9 per ton, while
a concentrating test will go $30.
Tbe Gem of the Mountains, owned
by Mr. Blake, of Canyon City, now
bonded to Mr. Mount, though base, is
one of tbe most promising mining prop
erties of that nature in Eastern Oregon.
Development work is limited, but what
has been done is sufficient to demon
strate that an ore body of prodigious
size will be unfolded as depth is at
tained, and also that the precipitation
of gold will be greater. Tbe average
value of the heavy base ore is in the
neighborhood of $50 per ton, and the
ledge is fully five feet wide in the bot
tom of the 80-foot shaft. About 80
feet a bo re this ledge is another strong
one, running parallel aud carrying a
small deposit of free gold, and from the
trend" of the two ledges they will cer
tainly merge together at no very great
