DASH Cavalrymen Fought the Spaniards. ENEMY WAS DRIVEN BACK Twelve Spaniards Known to Have Been Killed—Roosevelt’s Hough Rider* ! in the Thick of the Fichte—Spaniard* Opened Fire From Thicket*. Off Juragua, via Playa del Este, Guatanamo Bay, Jane 27.—This morn ing four troops of the first cavalry, four troops of the Tenth cavalry, and eight troops of Roosevelt’s rough rider«, lees than 1.000 men in all, dismounted and attacked 2,000 Spanish soldiers in the thickets within five miles of San tiago de Cuba. The Americans beat the enemv track ! into the city, but loft the following dead upon the field: Rough riders—Captain Allyn K. Capron, of troop L; sergeant Hamilton Fish, jr.; Privates Tilman and Daw son, of troop L; Private Dougherty, of troop A; Private W. T. Eiwin, of troop F. First cavalry—Privates Dix, York, Bejork, Kolbe, Berlin, Lennock. Tenth cavalry—Corjtoral White. At least 60 Americans were wounded, including six officers. Several of the wounded will die. Twelve Spaniards, dead, were found in the bush after the tight, but their loss was doubtless far in excess of that. General Young commanded the ex pedition and was with the regulars, while Colonel Wood directed the opera tions of the rough riders, several miles west. Both parties struck the Sjianiards about the same time, and the fight lasted an hour. The Spaniards opened fire from the thickets and had every advantage of numbers and position, but the troops drove them back from their station, stormed the blockhouses around which they made a final stand, and sent them scattering over the mountains. The cavalrymen were afterwards re inforced by tne Seventh, Twelfth and Seventeenth infantry, part of the Ninth cavalry and the Second Massachusetts and the Seventy-first New York. The Americans now hold a position at the threshold of Santiago de Cuba, with more troops going forward con stantly, and they are preparing fur a final assault upon the city. The officers wounded were: Major Brodie, shot through the right forearm. Captain McClintock, troop B, shot through the right leg. Lieutenant J. T. Thomas, troops L, shot through the right leg. Hie condi tion is serious. All the foregoing officers are rough riders. Other officers who were wounded are: Captain Knox, whose condition is serious. Major Be.ll, Lieutenant George L. Brvam. These officers are of the First cavalry. The following are among the soldiers who were wounded: Rough riders—Troop M, Privates E. M. Hill, Shelly, Fisher, M. S. New comb, Fred Beale and Corporal Rhodes. Troop E, Cor[Oral James F. Bean, Privates Frank Booth, W. Bert Chart- ley, Dailey, Halvers, E. G. Atherton, Clifford Beed and Sergeant G. W. Ar- ringo.

Meagher, Edward Calvers, Nathan P. Poe. Tenth cavalry—Troop B, Privates Russell, Gaines, Miller, Cross., Brax ton, Wheeler. Troop I, Privates Ridd, Mayberry. Edward Marshal, correspondent of the New York Journal and Adver tiser, was seriously wounded in the small of the back. It is probable that at least 10 in the list of wounded will die. « TO SPAIN. Lieutenant Bryan. WHERE THE TROOPS LANDED. Description Washington, June 27.—The war is 1 to be carried into Africa, metaphorical ly speaking, if Spain is foolhardy I enough to tend the Cadiz fleet through j the Suez canal to attack Dewey in tl»e Philippines. It is announced on good authority that before the last Spanish vessel has parsed through the canal, an American squadron will be steaming at full si>eed across the Atlantic, stiaight to the coast of Spain, to bring the war home to the Spanish jieople. There is no doubt that Dewey cat» take care of himself against tha Cadiz fleet, since his own squadron will be reinforced by ironclads long before Camara’s ships sight the bay of Manila, and he will have the shore batteries with him. instead of against him, in the struggle. It has been con cluded by the administration that nothing save tire most severe measures will suffice to bring the Spanish peo ple to a realizing sense of tire bopless- ness of the continuance of the present war, and even kindness, it is hold, will dictate such a blow as that which it is proposed to administer, if the Spanish persist in this last project. After the fall of Santiago and tha capture or destruction of Cervera’s squadron, Sampson will have an abund ance of vessels to spare for the task set for him. Probably he will divide the attacking fleet in two squadrons, the first, a flying squadron, to Ire composed of tire swiftest vessels of the fleet, such as the Columbia, Minneapolis, Har vard, Yale, St. Louis, St. Paul, New Orleans and such craft. This will Ire followed by another command, either under Sampson or Schley, composed of battle-ships, which Captain Clark’s experience with the Oregon has 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, ami the lees powerful vessels of the flying squadron, the Spanish coast would be speedily swept clear of all commerce, all Spanish shipping would be destroy ed and some of the best ports blockaded ot bom ba rd oil. Washington, June 25.—Army officeis were intently scanning the map of the country around Santiago today with a view of locating the troops and fixing their formation on the eve of the ad vance. Daiquiri is about 15 miles east from the mouth of Santiago harbor. A small river runs inland at that point, affording additional facilities for land ing. The map shows a road direct from Daiquiri to the entrance of Santi ago harbor, and thenoe along the har bor to the city of Santiago. Besides this road, a railroad starts a few miles west of Daiquiri, running along the coast up to the mouth of .Santiago har bor. Juragua, the other point mentioned in these dispatches, is midway between Daiquiri and Santiago harbor. It also has a small stream, giving addi tional facilities for landing, and the railroad appears to take its start along the coast from that point. Back of this railroad and highway, the maps show a mountainous forma tion, which would make the progress of an army difficult. It seems evident, from an examination of the army map, that General Shafter’s troops at Dai quiri and Juragna will move westward along the highway, perhaps utilizing the railroad and appioaching Santiago from the southeast. Distinct from this landing, which is east of Santiago harbor, it seems evi dent that at least a part of General Shafter’s force will land west of the harbor, thus allowing an attack on Santiago from the northwest. The dis patches state that a demonstration was made against Cabanas, which is shown on the military map to tie a small place just west of Santiago har bor, and not more than two or three miles from the mouth. Further to the west is Aeerradero, where General Rabi and General Garcia have a large force of Cuban troops. 1 t is clearly in expedient for this Cuban force to make ¿m inland circuit clear around Santiago and form a junction with General Shafter to the east of Santiago har bor. Their natural base, therefore, will be to the west at Acerraderos, co operating with such of General Shaf ter’s troops as land to the west of the harbor. A road runs from Acerraderos to CabanaB. No road is shown along the west line of Santiago harbor, and the march ol the American and Cuban troops making the assault on the west side of the city may be slow and labor ious, through the tangled tropical un derbrush, swamp and rock.

BLANCOS SUPPLIES CUT OFF The Complete Investment of Santiago <le Cuba by Land and Sea—Blockade Runner* Have Landed Under the Lee of the I*le of Vines» Off Santiago de Cuba, via Kingston, June 25. — With the complete invest ment of Santiago de Cuba by land and sea but few days off, the admiral has decided to strengthen the blockade of tiie large ports on the southern coast westward of Santiago. For three weeks the south coast, west of Santiago de Cuba to Cape San Antonio, has been practically unpro tected. The blockade has been simply on paper,'in name only, with the result that it is known that quite a number of ships have run the blockade, and that an immense quantity of provisions has been smuggled into Havana. Most of the blookude runnerB have landed their cargoes under the lee of the Isle of Pines, and thenoe the provisions, etc., have been taken in small boats to Ba tabano, whence the railroads runs to Havana, only 30 miles distant. The admiral has now decided that blockade running must cease, and yes terday dispatched four fast ships to pa trol the coast from Cape de Cruz to the Isle of Pines. REPORT FROM MADRID. A* Usual, a Glorious Spanish Victory Is Claimed. Madrid, June 25. —An official dis patch from Santiago de Cuba, dated June 25, says: The attack commenced yesterday. The enemy concentrated a landing force in front of Punta Berraco, lying eastward of our left flank, which ex tended for eight leagues along the coast. Another official dispatch from Hav ana says: The oommander at Santiago de Cuba announces that the American squadron lias commenced the bombardment and is trying to disembark at Daiquiri and at Punta Berraoo.- An American war ship has shelled and destroyed a small wooden fort near Cienfuegos. Seven Spaniards were slightly wounded. Cable dispatches received here from Admiral Cervera say the crews of the Spanish warships at Santiago have joined the land forces in order to take part in tire defense of the city. He adds that the situation is critical, but a later dispatch affirms that the Span iards "have victoriously repulsed the enemy.’’ MORE SOLDIERS. New National Guard for Oregon Ordered by Governor Lord. Portland, Or., June 25.—The Oregon National Guard will be reorganized and placed on a war footing at once. Orders to that effect were issued yes terday by Adjutant-General Tuttle by direction of the commander-in-chief. The orders are as follows: “The Oregon National Guard, pur suant to G. O. No. 13 c. s., this office, consists of four inde]>endent or ganizations, as follows: ‘‘Battery A, troop B and separate companies A and K. "The organization of the Oregon National Guard, as authorized by the military board, contemplates for the infantry, one regiment, to consist of three battalions, each of four compa nies, the companies to have a mini mum enlisted strength of 56 and a maximum of 72 in peace, and in war a maximum of 106 or such number as may be prescribed by the war depart ment for the volunteer army, to be des ignated Third regiment, Oregon Na tional Guard. “One battalion will be organized in each military district, that is, one in Eastern Oregon, one in the Willamette valley and one at Portland. "The organization contemplates a practical military one, based on the requirements of actual war, as regards physical qualifications, etc., that the organization may be available as a whole for muster into the service of the United States. "On account of the expense relative to equipping companies with the nec essary lockers, gunracks, targets, desks, etc., places where companies were lo cated prior to the consolidation to form the Second Oregon volunteers, having these articles, will be given preference in accepting new com|ianies in the re organization. ” Refugee* From Havana. Kingston, June 25.—It is understood the British warship Talbot, which brought 34 refugees from Havana five days ago, sailed from Porto Rico yes terday for Havana, to bring away the British consul and any British sub jects who are desirous of leaving the Cuban capital. London, June 25.—The Madrid cor respondent of tire Mail says: Senor Sagasta informed the chamber of dep uties today that Admiral Camara’s squadron was on the way to the Philip pines. Senor Salmoner, in a bitter attack on the government, declared that the monarchy was to blame for ail that baa happened, and he warned the ministers that if they suspended the oortee, justification would be afforded for the arc of other means. His speech roused a tempest and ths sitting was suspended. of the Country Santiago. BOUND FOR Th. ¡Shafter’s Armv Landed! Near Santiago. MANILA. Monitor Monadnock and Collier Nero Sailed From San Francisco. San Francisco, June 25.—The coast defensse monitor Monadnook sailed for Manila via Honolulu this afternoon. The collier Nero, which will accom pany the Monadnock, went out first. The warship followed in a few min utes. Tne men on the Monadnock think that the ship will maae the trip to Manila in about 23 days. The Monadnock has sufficient coal to carry her to Honolulu, and will make that port under her own steam. From Honolulu the Nero will tow her to Manila, and the best appliances for that purpose have been put on both vessels. Tiie Nero has at least 5,000 tone of coal. The vesssels were given an enthusiastic send-off, all the steam vessels on the water front blowing their whistles, and the ciowds on tiie docks cheering ami waving adieus. Re Iaforceuieuts Hurried to Santiago. Newport News, Va., June 25.—The auxiliary cruiser Yale, with the Thirty- third Michigan regiment and one bat talion of the Thirty-fourth Michigan, eailed from Old Point at 6 o’clock for Santiago. The troops, 1,600 in num ber, are in command of General Du ffield, Colonel Boynton, of the Thirty- third, second in comamnd. The men arrived from Washing ton early this morning. A large crowd assembled to see tire troops embark, and when the Yale weighed anchor and headed for the capes, a mighty cheer went up from the soldiers and civilians on the government pier. The auxiliary cruiser Harvard will leave Old Point for Santiago Monday or Tuesday, with another expedition. Oil Works Burned. Philadelphia, June 25.—The exten sive plant of the Philadelphia Oil Re fining Company, at Point Breeze, in the extreme southeastern part of the city, was destroyed by fire tofiight.

Typographical Union. MET WITH SLIGHT RESISTANCE Baiquiri, the Debarking Point, First Shelled by the Warships—New Or leans, Detroit and the Smaller Ships Did the Work. Off Baiquiri, via Playa del Este, Guantanamo Bay, June 24.—As 9 o’clock, the hour supposed to have been fixed for commencing the disem barkation came and passed, the expe dition was in suspense, but the ships lay rocking complacently outside the little bay. Alxiut 9:15 A. M. tire bombardment of the hills surrounding the village of Juragua, some six miles off, suddenly began to distract our attention from out affairs. Then, steam pinnacles, trailing strings of empty boats, began speeding to and fro among the trans ports, and gradually, though impercep tibly, filling with troops. At 9:45 Cuban scouts appeared west of Baiquiri, and immediately the New Orleans, Machias, Detroit, Suwanee and Wasp began bombarding. Forty- five rounds were fired into the bushes during the first quarter of an hour, and many rounds from the quick-fire guns. Not a shot was fired in response. At 9:45 the first Imatload, contain ing the men of the Eighth and First infantry, started for the shore, fol lowed by the Twenty-fifth (colored), Tenth and Twelfth infantry at 10:10. Prodigious cheering from the shore, caught up by the nearest ships and fly ing from vessel to vessel through the squadron, announced the momentous fact that the army had begun a land ing on Cuban soil, the honor of set ting the first foot on the land falling to a detachment of the Eighth infan try, which wag towed ashore by the tug Wampatuck. This important operation thus quick ly completed without loss of life or at tack, the troops on land formed and moved up and away to quarters with out confusion. A force of mounted Cubans, which had been under the fire during the bombardment, now arrived and congratulations were exchanged. The inhabitants of the village, assured that the worst was over, came out, col ored women and children creeping into sight from subterranean shelters. A 11:30, a detachment of the Second Massachusetts volunteers started for the shore and by noon probably 3,000 men had landed. Other detachments were following as rapidly as the steam launches could. 1« made available. The sea was calm and the sky clear. A oool breeze was blowing. The troops were in tire highest spirits, and strains of "Yankee Doodle” were greeting every string of boats coming in. The press correspondent, going ashore at 1:10 P. M., found that the 8)>aniards had done little wanton mis chief. A roundhouse, a locomotive, a few care and railway offices had been destroyed, but tiie bulk of the village was left standing intact. The tiring on Jarugua still continues as this dispatch is filed, but it is desul tory and is directed over tiie first line of lulls to dear the country beyond. Landing Officially Reported. Washington, June 24.—Official dis patches received tonight by Secretary Alger and Secretary Long indicated that the landing of troops near Santi ago is progressing most favorably. The first landing was effected at Baiquiri this morning and met with compara tively slight resistance. This war stated in a <lis|mtch received this even ing by Secretary Alger, which, though brief, was full of news and meaning. It. follows: "Playa del Este, June 24.—To the Secretary of War, Washington: Off Baiquiri, Cuba, June 24. — Landing at Baiquiri this morning. Very little if any resistance. SHAFTER.” Shortly after Secretary Alger re ceived this dispatch, Secretary Long received a more extended cablegram from Admiral Sampson. It, too, was dated at Playa del Este, at 6:50 this evening. Tiie text of the dispatch, translated from the navy department cipher, is as follows: "Landing of the army is progressing favorably at Baiquiri. There is little if any resistance. The New Orleans, Detroit, Castine, Suwanee and Wasp shelled the vicinity before the landing. We made a demonstration at Cabanas to engage the attention of the enemy. The Telas engaged the west battery for some hours. Site had one man killed. The submarine mines have been re covered from the channel at Guantan amo.

London, June 24.—The Daily News publishes a statement, alleged to come from • correspondent having aocess to good information, that the occupation of Manila by parts of crews of foreign warship« ii an accomplished fact, al though it may probably be three or four days before the official news ar rive«. MARKET WEEKLY Around Crushing Blow Fully Decided Upon If Cadiz Fleet Goes East. Washington, June 27.—That the Spanish Cadiz 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 tiie ships, and availing themselves of every relia ble source of information. So when word came from one of these agents to day that the squadron was sighted off Pantellnria day before yesterday, the officials were bound to accept the state ment as beyond question. The first re port to that effect, which came through an Italian newspaper, was taken with some reservation, owing to tire known efforts of the Spanish government to mislead our naval authorities by just such publications tn friendly neutral newspapers. By reckoning of 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, for it is confidently felt that the whole Spanish movement is nothing mote than a spectacular dis play, gotten up to meet the irresistible demand of the Spanish [topulace and particularly the clerical party that something should lie done to save the Philippines to Spain. There is a question whether the canal authorities will allow the heavy Spanish armored shijo to risk the pas sage ot the canal, even if Admiral Ca 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 offioers are confident of the ability of Dewey to successfully resist attack by the Spanish squadron. According to their calculation, the splendid doubie-turret- ed monitor Monterey is very near Ma nila, under oonvoy of the Brutus, and her arrival mav be expected within Hamilton Fish, <Jr. two or three days.

End ot LETTER. the Remarkable Wheat Deal. Leite. (Reported by Downing. Hopkins & Co., Ine.. Board of Traite Brokers, 711 to 711 Chamber or Commerce building, Portland, Oregon.] Leiter's wheat deal has become a thing of the past. It was a big one while it lasted, but, like its predeces sors, came to an untimely end, leaving! a corpse in the shape of 14,000,000 bushels of cash wheat and over 10,000,- 000 bushels of futures. Of the cash wheat 7,000,000 bushels is in tjii» country, nearly 5,000,000 bushels be ing in the Northwest. The greater portion of it has been turned over to Armour to liquidate, while the foreign holdings aud those afloat are being at tended to by Alexander Gedds. The (5,000,000 in profits have disappeared, and with them a possibility of losses of from (3,000,000 to <5,000,000. The latter cannot be determined until the wheat is liquidated and all accounts! are adjusted. Some think that L. Z. Leiter will Dot have to put up very rnuoh money in final settlement. The latter, who has taken a band in the liquidation, says the losses will not be as large as the trails expect«. He is a close figurer and is in a position to know what he is talking about. The trade may never know what the losses really are. Prices have reached a [xiint where buyers need not be afraid of being badly hurt by the bull side. September was down to 66, a drop of 29o from the high point It is now the price wheie it should be attractive to buyers were it not for the fear that there is more liquidation to come. In the past seven years September wheat has sold in June between 55c and 87 %c; the highest was in 1893, and the lowest in 1896, Last year the range was 66 l-8c and 66)$c. In 1896 it sold from 55c to 64 3-8, and in 1895 at 70 5-8 to 82)£. The trade has lost its bull leader and is completely de moralized. Liquidation by longs, combined with short selling by large professional traders, has more than ¡equaled Leiter’s holdings, bo that they have liquidated his line for him in one sense. The selling fever has taken bold of the speculative crowd and it will have to run its course just the same as the buying mania did. Prices are liable to be carried too low, and when it comes to covering, there will be a big rally. There is one thing against heavy advances; it is the ab sence of a leader to absorb the surpiue and take it off the market.
