A Kingston,' Jamaica, dispatch says .16 warships have beon sent to leinforce '' : Cerveia at Santiago. ' . . A St. Petersburg dispatoh says tne new 'Russian cruiser Sveitlana, 8,828 -! tons displacement, has been ordered to 'ther Pacific. The movement against Porto Rioo is likely to ' be launched immediately. Sohley's warships are to be left to dis pose of the Santiago matter, while the military forces.will at onoe begin the ' oampaign of conquest at the island further East ' ' . Major-General Merritt has been or dered to hasten the dnarture of the Manila expedition. The administra tion Intends to get the entire Philip pines expedition under way at the earliest practicable moment. Measures have been taken to render Manila bay impregnable. " The auxiliary oruiser St. Paul, Cap- v tain Sigsbee commanding, has arrived at New York. Sigsbee says he had " plenty of target praotioe off Santiago and that Cerveia is bottled up. While cruising before Santiago he went in bo 1 close to. the harbor that he was able' to make sketches of the fortifications, ( which were sent to Washington. 1 Commodore Sohley's official report of the Santiago fight has been received by the president. He says there is no reasonable doubt that Cervera's fleet Is inside the harbor, that his firing was to leain the strength of the enemy's batteries, and was in that respect en tirely satisfactory. None of his vessels were hit and no casualties ocourred. A speoial from Kingston reports that 6,000 United States troops have land ed near Punuta Cabrera, a little to the west of Santiago, where a junction was , effected with General Calixto Garoia's army of 8.000 insurgents. . It is added that the landing was effected tinder cover of the fire of Sampson's fleet. With the troops were several heavy guns. ..'"' Ambassador Hay called at the foreign office in London, Monday, and presented evidenoe that Spanish offi cials are making Canada a base of ope- , rations, and protested against the con tinuance of this practice. The protest is based on the fact that it would be a breaoh of neutrality for Great Britain to permit her territory to be used for such hqstile purposes. Hay also re- : oentiy drew the attention of the foreign office, to the small exportations from Great Britain of war munitions for . Spain. , " ; . . '. Madrid newspapers maintain that Cervera 'a floet is sailing in the direc tion of the Philippines, , i The secretary of ' war has sent con gress a request for appropriations , amounting to $53,879,859. These ap- piorpriations .will be used for the equipment and maintenance until June 1, 1899, of the 125,000 volunteers re cently called for by the president. Santiago is to be invested by a land force. Government officials think a naval attack alone might not be effect ive. Haste is essential, as the prospeot of tliq, early approach of the cyolono - ' season makes Schley's stay in the open sea perilous. Sooretary Alger intimates : that the ' invasion of Porto Rico will promptly follow the fall of Santiago. The state department and the attorney-general, by direction of the presi dent, are working hard in the prepara tion of a form of government for Cuba after the Spaniards are driven out. An effort' is being made to have a complete plan for these operations ready, to be . put into effect as Boon as peace is de clared. ' : N Loaded with wealth but deserted and starving, John Roche), once a. well known manufacturer of Sioux City, la., perished last April on the trail between Dawson and Dyea, Alaska. - The news 'of his death reached Sioux City in a letter to his widow by Richard Hen- . dricksori, from Seattle. : He was aban doned by his comrades and- left to die. ' In the engagement at Santiago the Spanish, flagship Cristobal Colon was struck twice by shells from the Massa chusetts and the batteries were badly, damaged by the' firing of the cruiser New Orleans. - Three hundred shots were fired by the Americans.- No American vessel was hit and no one on the ships injured. The Spanish loss was not heavy. '' l'.,, . . .. ' Chas. W. Post, who has just re turned from Hong Kong, says that pre vious to the battle of Manila, Admiral Dewey had a social passage at arms with Prince Henry, a brother of Em peror William of Germany. Prince Henry slighted the United States at a Beriea.of toiiBts tendered at a banquet, . and was. made to apologize to the hero of Manila. The apology was written. The first-class armored cruiser Maria Teresa is reported to have been riddled with shot and sunk by the American warships at Santiago. The bill for the removal of all po litical disabilities arising from the civil war isjnow a law, President Mo- jviniey Having iormany opproveu it; A special from Alberni, B. C, says the bodies of seven white men, suppos ed to have been victims of the Jane Gray disaster, have been picked up on the, beach near the Clayoquot reserva tion by Indians, while a sack of cloth lng with an Italian name on it waa washed ashore not far from Clayoquot. A dispatch to the London Times from Manila, referring to the fight on May" 80, and June 1, says: The Span ish loss in killed and wounded and prisoners was heavy, but the most seri ous feature of all for the Spanish is the defection of hundreds of natives. The Spaniards are endeavoring by every means to win - over the rebels, who are attracted by promises of par don and high offices. But Aguinaldo's attraction is stronger. He has com pletely surrounded Manila by outtjng the railroads and holding the rivers by which food had previously reached the city. If the city is not starved into surrender the rebels may carry it, hav ing an increasing number of rifles and field guns. Fighting before and in the vicinity of Santiago continued the greater part of Monday from 7:45 A. M. Ten war ships maintained a steady and oareful ly directed fire against ' Morro castle and the batteries at Punta Gorda, Soo apa and Cinnremles, in addition to bombarding the Spanish fleet in the harbor. The military commander of Santiago acknowledges the loss of six Spanish officers and many soldiers. Ho also admits severe loss of naval forces. The loss on the American' side, Santiago reports ,- say, - is not known. The Spaniards acknowledge that a great deal of damage was inflict ed on the Spanish cruiser Reina Mer cedes, and say Morro oaslte shows great gaping breaches in its walls. A special from Cape Haytien de scribing the bombardment of Santiago on Monday says the forts of the harbor are now a mass of ruins. Scarcely a yard of coast from Port Cabrera on the west to Aguadores on the east escaped the deadly ' oannonading of the 10 American ironclads, which passed back and forth 'discharging their heavy guns as they steamed along. Later in the day tho old cruiser Reina Mercedes was discovered attempting to clear the channel of the Merrimao wreck. . A 13 inch shell from the Oregon landed squarely abaft her pilot-house and tore her npper works to shreds. Many of her officers and crew were killed or wounded and the vessel so , badly dam aged that Admiral Cervera ordered her abandoned about noon. . ' Thet" first-class . armored Spanish bruiser Carlo Alberto, bound for Cuba, has arrived at Gibraltar. , ' The Oregon 'election' returns indioate. that Qeer, for governor, and Tongue and Moody, for congress, are elected. - Saturday afternoon the torpedo-boat Davis was successfully launched from the iron works of Wolff & Zwicker, at Portland, Or. , . ' A joint'., resolution has been intro duced into ihe..house directing the sec retary of the navy to. have prepared and delivered suitable medals of honor to Lieutenant H6bson'hd each mem ber of his crew, for ' the gallant service they rendered the United States. Cape Haytien advices of June 6. .say: At 8 o'clock this morning strong can nonading was heard before Fort Agua dores, A quarter of an hour later the noise of oannonading was greatly in-creaed,- the firing evidently proceeding from guns of the largest oaliber. '- It is reported from Kingston, Jam aica,, that the battle-ship Oregon, 'saw a long craft sneaking close to shore and heading towards Santiago harbor. She signalled the oraft to turn, and the sig nals were Improperly answered, where upon the Oregon opened fire upon her, A 13-inch shell struck - the torpedo boat amldship, and she sank with all hands. The vessel is supposed to have been the Spanish torpedo-boat destroy er Terror, trying to make her way from Porto Rico into the harbor of Santiago, to rejoin the fleet of Cervera. . The department of war Monday morning tent a list of prisoners at Fort MoPherson to Admiral Sampson,', and the admiral himself will enter into communication with Cervera respecting an exchange of prisoners. Cervera will be allowed to select from the list per sons whom he is willing to take in ex change for Constructor Hobson and the gallant orew that manned the Merri mac on her last run. . The officials hardly expect to complete the exohange of prisoners in leea than two weeks. A . Madrid dispatch . says: At 1 o'clock Sunday evening 20 American warships . opened a hot ' attack on Santiago, but they were so far distant their shells did not reach the forts. Seeing the futility of the enemy's cannonade, the Spaniards made no re ply to their fire, awaiting the near ap proaqh of the ships, but the attacking fleet remained in its distant position. The dispatch further says the bombard ment laBted 45 minutes and was not re sumed. Sixteeen American warships are still moored at the same place, in sight of Santiago. The Insurgents Drive in Manila Outposts. : 1 FIERCE HAND-TO-HAND FIGHT Great Slaughter of Spaniard by A gut naldo'a Men Fought While Typhoon Haged The Rebel- Now Hold the ' Suburbs of the City'. " T '.'" . ", Y i t Manila, via Hong Kong? June 8. The Spanish outposts have been driven in all along ' the line simultaneously, and with great slaughter. It is said over 1,000 have been killed ' 1 There has been fierce hand-to-hand fighting for- 70 hours, despite the typhoon which is raging. The violent winds' and torrents of rain render the riflesof the Spanish troops unavailing. The natives easily win at every step with their slashing knives. Today the insurgents hold Malabon, Taralac, and Bacoor. They are now attacking San Tamera and Moorlate, the suburbs of the city, which is completely enclosed for a dis tance of seven miles. - -. - ' A native regiment under Colonel Agiunaldo, cousin of the insurgent leader, yesterday joined the insurgents. The governor has issued a despairing proclamation begging the insurgents to come to terms, and now he is arrang-, ing to remove all the Spanish popula tion inside the old walled city. He is filling the moats and testing the draw bridges and placing strong guards on the principal streets and artillery along the walls. All the other troops are camping in the suburbs. The weather is terrific ,. , ,.. . Later It now appears that the rock ets yesterday were not signals to the natives, but a warning from the Ger man consulate of the approach of the typhoon, issued for the benefit of. the ships in the harbor. -' -.-" I visited Cavite without the Span iards knowing it, and found there 197 wounded and 56 prisoners, among the latter six Spanish officers. All were Weill treated. . Chief Agiunaldo, in the course of an Interview, has said that the insurgents are eager to make an attack on Manila forthwith, but that Admiral Dewey re fuses to "allow hordes of passionate semi-savages to storm a civilized me tropolis." .-,' ,, , ' ' , Admiral Dewey wants to await the arrival of the American troops.' In the meantime the. insurgnets have been forbidden to cross the Mutate river, seven miles south of Manlila. Other wise the Petral will be stationed there to bombard them. ' The volunteers smelt powder yester day. An officer was killed and three wounded., They retired rapidly. ' FIRED AT BY FLEET." :'i American Thought They Saw a Span ish Torpedo-Bout Destroyer. Kingston,' Jamaioa, June 8 Whether the American fleet sank "a Spanish torpedo-boat destroyer Friday night has not been absolutey confirmed. At 10 o'ecock Friday night the cruiser New; Orleans discovered what appeared to be a torpedo-boat destroyer close to the. shore, and signalled the flagship New Ysrjt that it was evident that a night torpedo attack was to be made. The New Yorkvand New Orleans opened fire and their shells burst around a dark objeot. Finally a 18-ihnh shell fiom the Massachusetts (not the Oregon, as first reported) wasflred and- exploded, and the searchlights t, the vessels were turned on th spot where the supposed destroyer had been sigh ted, but not a trace of the boat could be found, and it was believed by jhe officers of he New York she had been sunk . ',,' The first assumption was thai the vessel was the Terror, but it is believed now that it was the Pliitonor Furor, is the Terror was not known to be at Sari-, tiago. Two Schwarzopkof torpedoes were found floating two miles south of Morro. This class of torpedo is used by : the Spanish, and one of the two found had only the practice head. Admiral Sampson is determined not to allow the Spanish to remove the Merrimac from the spot where'Bhe lies. Saturday . it was i reported that they were working at the hull, and the American fleet formed in line of battle with orders to bombard. It turned out that the Spanish were not so engaged and the fleet withdrew. Admiral Sampson has given speoiflc orders that El Morro, where the Merri- mao's crew are imprisoned, be spared in firing. Admiral Cevera's polite as surances were accopmanied by the statement that Lieutenant Hobson and his men were confined there. . This placing of the prisoners in direot line of fire is denounced by the American officers as a 13th-century defense, an act of incarnate crueltv. General Castillo, commanding the Cuban forces in the west and north of the province of Santiago, has been con centrating 4,000 Cubans in the vicinity of the city. Bantl ' Port an Prince, June 8 Advices from Santiago de Cuba today say that this morning about 7:45 o'clook a live ly cannonading was heard in the direc tion of Aguadores. It increased in in tensity on both sides, and toward 8 o'clock it was very furious.' : No further details have been re ceived, but it ' is believed that the Spanish ships anchored in the bay of Santiago held the insurgents in check when the latter were attaoking the ton. ' , ' ' . " ' ''' 'ii'' It is said here but the source of the information is dqubtful that a United ' States troopship debarked troops under the protection of the fire of the Amerioan squadron. ; - News has been reoeived from Mole St. Nicholas that a naval combat took place yesterday off Jean Rabel, be tween Port Le Paix and the mole. Three Spanish and four Amerioan war ships were engaged. After a brief, but lively contest, the American ships re tired. This news lacks confirmation. SPIES IN HOT WATER. Carranza and Da Bosa Are Arrested n the City of Montreal. Montreal, June 8 Lieutenant Ca'r anza and Senor Du Bosc were arrested at 4:30 o'clock this afternoon on a capias in which it is alleged they were about to leave the country. The capias was taken out in connection with a suit fpr damages for defamation of character entered by Deteotive Kellert. The ar rest was made at the residence of the Spanish consul-general, and the P-VB-oners were immediately taken , before Judge Mathieu, who released them i,n $1,000 bail, which was promptly fur nished, the authorities deolining to say by whom. The writ is returnable fn six days, and no aotion can be taken until the end of that time, unless the prisoners consent to a speedy hearing. American Troop Landed. j . New York, June 8 A special frojn Cape Haytien, dated Monday, says: : j At daylight this morning the Ameri can troops landed at Aguadores, a few miles east of Santiago de Cuba, under cover of Admiral Sampson's guns.

London, June 8 The Madrid corres pondent nf the Daily News says: . The cabinet has deoided that no effectual blockade exists and will so notify the powers. An informal notifi cation has already been made. Madrid, June 8 In the, chamber of deputies today Senor Giron, minister for the colonies replying to inquiries, said the government had no information tending to confirm the Spanish report that the cruiser Baltimore had , been blown up by an internal explosion at .Manilla, except the fact that the gaz ette had erased the boat from the list of American ships. , . .. x ' i Improvements in Oregon.' ,, Washington, June 8 The conferees on the' sundry civil bill have been un able to agree on the amendment appro priating $80,000 for a quarantine sta tion at Afltoria, and it is still in confer ence .

VANGUARD OF CA)IZ FLEbT f tiie flnnnfah and Four American Ves sels Engaged The Latter Proba'bly Scouts A i. Bpanlsh . Torpedo-lloat Destroyer Snnk at Santiago.- ' . ' Cape Haytien, June 7. The United States troopship Resoulte, formerly the Yorktown, ; under convoy of tho tor pedo boat destroyer Mayflower, the convertd Ogden Goelet ' yacht of the same name, arrived at Mole St. Nich olas Saturday and departed shortly after. " Advioes from Mole St. Nicholas say that Saturday, some distance off Jean Rabel. a port on the west coast of Hayt'i, half way between Port de Paix and Mole St. Nicholas, a combat took place between three Spanish and four Amerian ' warships. The Amerioan ships are said to have withdrawn from the combat. One of the Spanish war ships entered the harbor of Jean Rabel for water. Officers of ships lying at St. Nicholas Mole were extremely reti cent. Jean Rabel is an insurgent seaport, and there is no telegraphic station there. It Is thought possible that the Spanish ; ships encountered were the vanguard of the Cadiz fleet. The names of the American ships were not ascertained, but It is believed here that they were probably scout boats. Troopship Pursued. : . Port au Prince, June 7. Acoording to the latest advices from Santiago de Cuba,' there were not more than 17 ships in the offing all day, and it is believed there that the three missing vessels have gone for provisions and munitions of war. : 7 ; -: At 6 o'clock this evening,, the steamer Nouvplle Voldreguo- arrived here from Cape Haytien, after touching at all the ports along the coast She reports that yesterday, at -Mole St. Nicholas, she saw the United States troopship Resolute awaiting instruc tions. The vessel was under convoy. ; It was ascertained from passengers on the Voldrejrue that the Resolute had been pursued, between Jean Rabel and Mole St. Nicholas, by two Spauish cotvettes. From the same source, it is learned that Admiral,., Cervera's squadron is not, in its entirety, in the port of Santiago de Cuba, but that only, a oruiser, supposed to be the Colon, one torpedo-boat and two auxil iary cruisers are there. . , ::; ! A (lispatch from a government source at Port au Prince says: -, '. ; "A Haytien informant, now in San tiago do Cuba, says the destitution has greatly increased since the bombard ment began, and the military comman der, has been forced to reduce ' the ra tions' of the soldiers, among whom there ia muoh discontent." ! Spanish Destroyer Sunk. Kingston, Jamaica, June 7. A dis patch from Port au Prince says a ves sel that has arrived there from Santia go de Cuba repoits that the America ns sunk on Friday night 'the Spanish torpedo-boat destroyer Terror. The assumption, based on dispatches from Madrid, has been that the de stroyer Terror, after leaving Fort de France, went to Porto'RIoo, and it is possible that the Port Antonio dis patch confuses her with her sister de stroyer, the Furor, as has several times been done in dispatches from other points. 1 CHARLES V. GRIDLEY. Death of the Commander of the Cruiser ! Olympla. Washington, June 7. Captain Chas. V. Gridley, commander of the 'Cruiser Olympia, and one of the heroes of the brilliant viotory at Manila, is dead. The announcement of his death was re oeived at the navy department this afternoon in a cablegram from Pay master Gait, of the navy, dated .Kobe, Japan, June 4, and directed to Secre tary Long. The dispatch contained this simple statement: . "Captain Gridley died today. The remains accompany me on the Coptic." Captain Charles Vernon Grid ey is the first American officer of great prom inence whose death is a direct result of the existing war with Spain. As the commander of Admiral Dewey's splen did flagship and one of the admiral's chief ... advisers, Captain Gridley achieved distinction at the battle of Manila bay and added to his ' previous laurels by winning high praise from his superiors for distinguished gallant try and ability. He fought his ship from the conning tower, while Ad miral Dewey directed the movements 6f the squadron from the bridge of the vessel. It was not known . for soveral weeks after the engagement that Cap tain Gridley had suffered from it, and n now the precise' nature of his "He it not disoloaed. No Room for lieutenant Carransa In the Dominion of Canada. . : Washington, - June 7. Steps have been taken by. which 'Lieutenant Car ranza, who has conducted the Spanish spy system at Montreal, with his asso ciate, Senor du Boso, the former , first secretary of the Spanish legation here, will be expelled from Canada within the next few days, unless they adopt their own means to leave before an in ternational : question is raised as to their presence in. Canada. .The Car ranza letter, Jetailing his spy system, was communioated to the British am bassador, : Sir Julian Paunoefote.i gether with ' all other information bearing on the operations of the Span iards in Canada. The ambassador was quick to aot in the matter, and. with-, out awaiting the slow " process of the mail he cabled the entire matter to the foreign office. . ' No doubt : is entertained as to the speedy action of the authorities at Lon don, now that a specific case has been made out against the Spanish officials in Canada. They would have taken the initiative, had there been more than suspicion as to the operations of Carranza. But the Carranza lettet was proof positive, and the British officials will move quicklyjandjof their own voli tion toward securing adequate redress. : The state department has not cabled Ambassador Hay, not deeming it nec essary to do more than simply lay the facts before the British ambassador here. It is expected Lord Salisbury will oall the attention of tho Spanish government to the undesirability of having Carranza and du Boso remain in Canada, as their actions are so obvi ously hostile to the United Status. . , Says He Wrote the Letter. Montreal, June 7. Tonight Lieu tenant Carranza admitted that he was the author of the letter made public yesterday by the secret servioe, and that it was the one stolen a week a-go from his residence. '. ; "It is a translation," he said, "of the letter I Vfrote to my oousin, but it is not as I wrote it. Words have been changed and whole ; sentences yes, even paragraphs inserted to make it suit the ends of the United States gov ernment. .... . , , ON BOARD THE SOUACE- Wounded and Sick Are llrought Back From the Front. - . , ' New York, June 7. -The ambulance ship Solace came into port today, hav ing on board 54 wounded and sick, some of whom had been transferred from the Amerioan warships in Cuban waters and others taken from the hos pital at Key West. Her after-duck had been tented over with canvas, and in swinging hammocks lay half a dozen of the more seriously ill of the pa tients. The convalescing room was -the basking plaoe of a score or more of the poor fellows who had. not given up the fight without a struggle, while the privilege of the decks was accorded all those Who were able to move about or anxious to watch the green hills' as the good ship moved in shoreward. ' ' ! The Solace anchored off' Tompkins ville early this morning, arid ' Bhe was boarded by press representatives. . She left Key .West Wednesday afternoon, and came: through to New York with out incident until . Satuulay night, when the gale tumbled her about to some extent, and made things uncom fortable for the patients. But the sea voyage was a tonic to the men. ' They had left behind the sweltering seas of the tropics, and the exhausting winds for refreshing breezes. : - : . ; Some of them had gathered together in little groups on the voyage up many a time and told again the story of a brush with the Spaniards or the nights on watch at the blockada Four of the heroes of the Nashville and the Mar blehead were among the patients on the Solace, Robert Voltz, of ,San Fran cisco, and Harry Hendriokson, Joe Davis and Kuchmeister, of New York. They are the Wounded of that gallant band of volunteers who cut the cable at Cienfnegos nearly a month ago. It is a tale that has been told before. The effort will live in history, side by side, with the Merrimac's journey down the narrows at Santiago. , The Solace has on board 54 patients removed from southern waters. .BURNED AT THE STAKE. Negro Fiend a Victim of Mob Vengeance , (D xexas. Dallas, Tex., June 7. A speoial from Shreveport, La., says: A thousand people gathered - at Doyline, on the Vicksburg, Shreveport &' Pacific rail way, about 1'8 miles from here: to wit ness the burning at the stake of Wil liam Street, a negro who brutally out raged Mrs. Parrish. The crime was committed May 80. The people erect ed a post near the railroad track, near town; and had the - light wood and kindling saturated with coal oil, pre paratory to chaining Street to the post. ' The flames were started at I o'clook. It was a sickening sight, which lasted 10 minutes, when Street was a charred mass. veii-kncrn lawyers made speeches warning the crowd of negroes that such crimes wonld not be tolerated in a civil ized community.
