Saturday, 10.30 A. M. The American fleet is on its way to blocade the port of Havana. The volunteer army bill has passed both houses of congress and was signed to-day, Avail has been issued for 60.000 volunteers. The Asiatic squadron is on its way to the Philipine islands. The navy department considers the battle ship Oregon perfectly safe and predicts that if any Spanish cruiser or torpedo boat attempts to capture her, the Spaniard will have cause to repent of his rashness. The Spanish steamer Buena Ventura captured yesterday was bound for Rotterdam. The cap tain did not know that war had been declared and was much suprised when Uncle Sain's ship ordered him to stop. A report is current in eastern cities that a ship just in from southern ports claims to have wit nessed an engagement between a Spanish gun boat and an American transport ship, The transport was attacked by the Span aid and was handled rather roughly at first, but an American torpedo boat showed up in time to give the Spanish ship more than it had bargain" ed for. The final result was not knowu The report ha« not yet been verified. A Vigorous Reply. Editor Watson of the "Abusive Repub lican,” after putting himself ill a trap palpable to anyone who lead his previous article, proceeds with a few more lies and abuse of myself, to which I do not purpose to answer other than with my list. Happily I have friends in this county of over twenty veins standing, much better acquainted with my character, than this blantnt carpet bagger of five montl s residence, and no acquaintance whatever. Charles Pye. Not a Republican. SATURDAY APR. 23 7 05 P. M. The battle ship Oregon and the gunboat Marietta are in no danger. The authorities know where the ships are but will not divulge the secret. No news has been received from Capt. San:- «ou's fleet since last night when a dispatch stat ed the fleet to be off the coast of Havana. Two fine Spanish ships, the Catalina and the Miguel Joze which sailed from the N. H. lor Havana Thursday are practically certain of be ing captured by the Americans. The Spanish are reported to have captured the American ship Shenandoah, which sailed from San Francisco in January for Liverpool. A report from Bo’.fast, Ireland says that the American, I.iuer l aris, was captured by a Spanish Cruiser, but tlie »eport has been auth entically contradicted. The blockade of Havana was established yesterday at 11:00 P. M. The American Cruise**, N w York, captured the Spanish steamer Pedro today, almost under the guns of Moro Castle. The Spanish fleet has sailed. It left the Canaries several »lays ago. The steamer Mangrove left here today (Key West) today going to South Eastern Cuba to destroy Spanish cables. Havana’s defendants are alert, but of a fear ful heart. The Spaniards can now see the American ships in fu 11 sight and fear ami dis trust prevail. Everybody is ruslCng out of th« city to the fortifications. The U. 8. ships are in the best possible position for bombarding the city. Tillamook, Or., April 26tli, 1893. To the Editor of the H eadlight : Some time ago, a communication dated Tillamook, and signed “X” ap peared in tlie Oregonian, and was generally understood as being directed at myself, although it had no foundation in fact, and was as faise and malicious ns it was cowardly and uncalled for. In justice to some who have been wrong fully accused of participating in the pxp iration of that letter, I feel bound to say that upon investigation I have seemed evidence showing the letter was written by one man and sent to the Oregonian by another; that neither ol these men are connected with the R - publican patty; that the letter did not originate in “politics,” but in petty, personal spite.

M, The guns of Morro Castle were turned oose on some of the vessels of the blockading fleet yesterday but the marksmanship of the Spaniards was very poor. About a dozen shots were fired, but nil went wide of the mark. There was absolutely no excitement on the American ship during the Spanish attempt at gunnery. Three more Spanish ships have been captur ed by the Americans—the Rebus, the Pedro and ¿he Matilda, )he latter being loaded with rum a: d being captured right under the guns of Morro Castle. The Spanish steamer. Catalina has also been captured. She is of 3490 tons burden ami was captured 12 miles outside of Hadana. No news has been received from Havana sin e the blockade commenced A number of America steamers have been chartered and the troobs will be landed on Cu ban soil as quickly as possible. Twenty thousand troop« will be mobilized at Chick am agua to day. No father news has been received from flic American Liner Paris and it is believed that she is safe. MONDAY Apr. »5 7:30 P. M. DIED.
