Astoria, June 28. When the Klihu
Thompson, towing the sternwheel
steamer Gamecock und Staghound,
started for Aluska Friday afternoon,
the prediction was freely made that
they would never reach their dostina-
ion. This prediction has come truo.
and the three vessels put back into port
this afternoon. The stern wheelers are
total wrecks; their decks ate nwa&h.
and, but for the cord wood stored be
tween decks, they would have gone to
the bottom.
Eearly this morning tho lookout at
Cape Disappointment reported that the
steamers hud crossed in and anchored.
Tbe report also stated that the' liver
boats were badly battered When tiie
tide began flooding tiie Thompson got
under way and slowly towed the disa
bled steamers into port, reaching tho
city at 4 o'clock. Never were vessels
moro completely demolitdicd by the
aea. The docks were three feet under
water and huge gaps had been rent in
tbe steamers' sides. . The upper works
had caved in, and were carried away
by the seas. Baggage washed about on
the lower decks and broken timUira
were scattered over the vessels. Thev
were docked near the western extrem
ity of the city, whither a crowd of
nearly 6,000 people flocked to view
them.
Tbe expedition met disaster at the
very start Friday evening, while
crossing the bar, the hogchain on both
tho Gamecock and Stughound parted.
Despite this the Thompson continued
on her course. The river steamers be
gan breaking almost immediately. The
situation was not serious, however, till
about midnight, nl the weather wns
comparatively calm. Soon after 13
o'clock the passengers, of whom there
were 87 on the two steamers, became
alarmed. . The holds began to fill and
the timbers wool 1 strain and give
away with every wave. About 1:30
Captain Fisher, of the Gamecock, sig
nalled the Thompson with a red light,
but ahe continued on her course..
By 4 o'clock in the morning, all the
lower woraa of tiie boats were rent
apart and there was two feet of water
in the holds. Boat were sent buck from
the Thorn ton, and tho pussengorg,
who had provided themselves with life.
preservers, were ordered to jump into
the sea. Mr. Knapp, the Kansas City
promoter, as the first man to obey the
command, and the others soon follow
ed. Captains Lane and Fisher, each
with three men, remained on the
steamers. By 6 o'clock, the boats were
leaking badly, and it was decided to
put back to port, after having proceed
ed 85 miles np the coast They crossed
in at daybreak this morning.
REAR-END COLLISION.
veral Members or Torrey'a Beagh
- Ridera Killed. .
Tupelo, Miss., June 28. A railway
accident occurred at this plaoe at 8:40
this afternoon, by which five members
of Torrey'a regiment of rough riders
from Cheyenne lost their live and
others received injuriea.' The accident
occurred on the Kansas City, Memphis
A Birmingham road. The first section
stopped to take water and had whistled
to start on, when the second section
rounded the sharp curve in the track
just before the town is reached, and
dashed into it. The rear car of the fitst
section waa the sloeper Seville, con
taining Colonel Torrey and his staff.
Thia car waa oompletoly demolished,
yet. strange to say, every inmate es
caped unscathed, except the colonel,
who I injured, though not seriously.
The chief fatalities occurred in
coach whioh stood In the center of the
first section, whioh carried troop C,
from Laramie. This ooaoh was com
pletely telescoped, and the soldiers
within were jammed and bruised be
neath masses of timbers, broken oar
seats, and other debris. In the second
aection. one baggage car was thrown
into the ditoh, bnt in this train few
wete hurt, and none soriously.
Immediate action was taken by the
aoldiera to save their impeiilled com
rades, and with axes and ropes, and
buckets of watei they worked like de
mons, tearing away the wreckage to
get at the wounded and dead and
qnenohlng the fire, whioh had started
in the sleeper Seville, which was a
mas of wreokage, covering a steaming,
hissing engine. The wounded were re
moved to a vacant building in the
town.

IN A DEATH TRAP.
Soma More Ietalle at the Rattle of La
Quaalna.
Juragna, Cuba, June 28 Tbe initial
fight of Colonel Wood' rough ridera
and the troopers of the First and Tenth
regular cavalry will tie known in his
tory a the battle of La Quasiua;
That it did not end in the complete
slaughter of the Americana was not doe
to any miscalculation in the plans
of the Spaniards, for as perfect an am
buscade as waa ever formed in the
brain of an Apache Indian was pre
pared and Lieutenant-Colonel Roose
velt and his men walked squarely into
it For an hour and a half they held
their ground nnder a perfect storm of
bullets from front and aides, and then
Colonel Wood at the light, and Lieu
tenant-Colonel Roosevelt, at the left,
led a charge which turned tbe tide of
battle and sent the enemy flying over
the hills toward Santiago.
Jt is now definitely known that 16
men on the American side were killed,
while CO were wounded or are repotted
to be missing. It is impossible to cal
cula to the Spanish losses, but it is
known they were far heavier than those
of the Americans, at least as regard
actual loss of life. Already 87 dead
Spanish eoldiera have been found and
buried, and many others are undoubt
edly lying in the thick underbrush.
The wounded were all removed.
That the Spaniards were thoroughly
posted aa to the route to be taken bv
the American in their advance toward
Seviila was evident as shown by tbe
careful pteparations tbey bad made.
The main body of the Spaniards was
posted on a bill in the heavily wooded
slopes on which had been erected two
blockhouses, flanked by irregular en
trenchments of stone and fallen tree.
At the bottom of these bills run two
roads, along which Colonel Roosevelt
aud eight troops ol tbe First and Tenth
cavalry, with a battery of four howitz
ers, advanced. These roads are little
more than gullies, and at places almost
impassable. In these trails the fight
occurred.
About two and a half miles out
fiom Siboney, some Cubans, breathless
and excited, luebed into .the camp with
tbe announcement that tbe Span
iaids were but a little way in front,
and strongly entrenched. (Quickly the
Hutch kiss irons ont in tbe front were
brought to the rear, while a strong
scouting line was thrown out Then,
cautiously and in silence, the troops
moved forward nntil a bend in a road
disclosed the hill where the Spaniards
were located. Tho guns were again
brought to the front and placed in po
sition, whilo the men crouched in the
road waiting impatiently to give Roose
velt's men, who were toiling over tbe
little trail along the crest of the ridge,
time to get uu
At 7:30 A. M., General Young gave
the command to the men at the Hotch
kiss guns to open fire. The command
waa the beginning of a fight that for
stubbornness has seldom been equaled
The instant the Hotcbkis guns were
fired, the hillsides commanding the
road gavo forth volley after volley from
the Mausers ot the Spaniards.
Don't shoot until yon see some
thitiK to shoot at," yelled General
Young, and the men. with set jawa
nd gleaming eyes, obeyed the order,
Crawling along the edge of the road
and protecting themselves as much aa
possible from the fearful fire of tbe
Spaniaids. the troops, some of them
snipped to the waist, watched the
base of the hill, and when any part of a
Spaniard became visible, tbey fired,
Never for an instant did they falter.
Ono dusky warrior of the Tenth, with
a ragged wound in his thigh, coolly
knelt behind a rock, loading and firing.
and when told by one of his comrades
that he was wonnded, laughed and
said:
"Oh. that's all right; that's been
there for some time."
In the meantime, away off to the
left, was heard the crack ot the rifles
of Colonel Wood's men, and then the
deeper toned volley firing of the Span
ish. Over there the American losses
wore the greatest.
Colonel Wood 'a men, with an ad
vanee gnatd well out in front and tvn
Cuban guidea before them, but appar
ently with no flangera, went squarely
into the trap set for them by the Span
tarda, and only the unfaltering courage
of the men in the face of a fire that
would make even a veteran quail, pre
vented what might easily have been a
disaster. As it was, tropp L, the ad
vance guard, under the unfortunate
Cupron, was well surrounded, and but
for the reinforcements hurriedly sent
forward, every man would probably
have been killed or wounded.
"There must have been nearly 1,600
Spaniards in fiont and to the sides of
us," said Lieutenant-Colonel Roose
velt today, when discussing the fight
"They held the ridges with rifle-pits
and guns, and had a body of men in
ambush in the thick jungle at the
sides of the road over which we were
advancing. Out advance forward struck
the men in ambush and drove them
out, but we lost Captain Capronk Lieu
tenant Thomas and about 15 men
killed or wounded.
"I want to say a word for our own
men,' continuod Lieutenant-Colonel
Roosevelt. "Every officer and man
did hia duty up to the handle. Not a
man flinched."

they made a final stand, and sent them

DASH TO SPAIN.
Crashing; Blow Fully Oeelded Ceon If ,
Cad la Fleet Ooes Sank
Washington, June 27. The war Is
to be carried Into Africa, metaphorical
ly speaking, it Spain is foolhardy
enough to send the Cadis fleet through
the Suez canal to attack Dewey in the
Philippines. It is announced on good
authority that before the last Spanish
vessel ha passed throngh the canal, an
American sqnadron will be steaming
at , full speed across tbe Atlantic,
straight to the coast of Spain, to bring
the war home to the Spanish people.
There is no doubt that Dewey can
take care of himself against the Cadis
fleet, since his own squadron will be
reinforced by ironclads long before.
Camera's ships sight the bay of
Manila, and he will have the shorn
batteries with him, Instead of against
him, in the struggle. It has been con
cluded by the administration that
nothing save the most severe measure
will suffice to bring the Spanish peo
ple to a realizing sense of the hopless
ness of the continuance of tho present
war, and even kindness, it ia held,
will dictate such a blow aa that which
it is proposed to administer, if tiie
Spanish persist in this last project.
After tbe fall of Santiago and the
capture or destruction of Cervera's
squadron, Sampson will have an abund
ance of vessels to spare for the task set
for him. Probably be will divide the
attacking fleet in two squadiona. the
of tbe swiftest vessels of tbe fleet, inch
aa the Columbia, Minneapolis. Har
vard, Yale, St. Louis, St., Paul, New
Orleans and such craft ' This will be
followed by another command, either
nnder Sampson or Schley, composed of
battle-ships, which Captain Clark's
experience with the Oregon bas shown
can easily be counted on for the voyage
across the Atlantic
'With the Iowa, Oregon, Indiana',
Massachusetts and Texas, all battle
ships, supplementing the New -York
and Brooklyn, armored cruisers, and
the lesa powerful vessels of tbe flying
squadron, the Spanish const would be
speedily swept clear of all commerce,
all Spanish shipping would be destroy
ed and some 01 the best ports blocKudoil
01 bombarded. ,
MOVEMENTS OF CAMARA.
Probability That He Will Not
Ventare
Beyond Port Bald. .
Washington, June 27. That the
Spanish Cadis fleet is proceeding stead
ily eastward is no longer doubted here.
Trusted agents of the government on
the shores of the Mediteranean are
watching every movement of the ships, -
and availing themselves of every relia
ble source of information. , , So when
word came from one ot these agents to
day that the squadron was sighted off
Pantellaria day before yesterday, the
officials were bound to accept tbe state
ment aa beyond question. Tbe first re
port to that effect, which came through
an Italian newspaper, was taken with
some reiervatton, owing to the known
effort of the Spanish government to
mislead our naval authorities by jnvt
such publications In friendly neutral
newspapers. By reckoning 01 the naval
officers, the squadron should be now
nearing Candia, south of Greece. At
the rate they are progressing, the .
squadron should reach Port Said, at
the entrance to the Suez canal, about
Tuesday or Wednesday. Beycnd this
point it is not believed that the squad
ron will go, tor It Is confidently felt
that the whole Spanish movement is
nothing more than a spectacular dis
play, gotten np to meet the irresistible
demand of the Spanish populace and
particularly the clerical party that
something should be done to save the
Philippines to Spain.
There is a question whether the
canal authorities will allow the heavy
Spanish armored ship to risk the pas
sage ot the canal, even if Admiral Cu
mara is willing to undertake it Their
draught is so great that they might
easily ground in the canal and thus ob
struct it to navigation indefinitely.
But even if all these expectations are
not well founded, the naval officers
are confident of the ability of Dewey
to successfully resist attack by the
Spanish squadron. According to their
calculation, the splendid double-turret-ed
monitor Monterey is very near Ma
nila, under convoy ot the Brutus, and
her arrival mav be expected within
two or thiee days. There is not an
Ironclad in Catnara'a force that would
care to atand before her.

The decree of the queen regent waa

Prior to the reading ot the decree in
the ohnmber of deputies, which was
crowded, as weie also the galleries,
Senor Salmeron, tho republican leader,
declared that some of his remarks had
been omitted from the official report ot
yesterday's proceedings. The presi

uted to tbe uproar which had probably
prevented the reporter from, hearing
the remarks.
The chamber then adjourned, with
