Navy Has Plans for Spanish Blockade. Apprehensions for Battleship Oregon's Safety. Premature Announcement of the Sailing Unwise, If the Poweis Attempt to Intervene England Is Our Friend, Washington, April 21. It Las b?en learned upon ood authority that the navy has completed Its plans for blockading Spanish ports. Both the Cuban and the Forto Rlcan ports will bo blockaded by our ships of war. The flying squndron and some of the vessels of the North Atlantic fleet will ward off vessels of the enemy which may have designs upon our coast. The second line of defense of the latter will bo made up of smaller craft, ap propriately designated, in the hope fulness of Its pestering quality, as the mosquito fleet. This force will be un der the command of Commander Hor ace Elmer. It is doubtful whether the navy will assume an offensiye attitude un til the military Is In readiness for the Cuban Invasion. If the flying squad ron shonld meet the Spanish fleet, an attack would undoubtedly be made by the American yessels. Much apprehension If felt over the battleship Oregon, which ohas been ordered from the Pacific station to join the North Atlantic squadron. The vessel should, about this time, be In the straights of Magellan. Its course to home waters will take the vessel through thetrack of the Span ish ships. The auhhontlcs of that nation are thoroughly acquainted, It Is now known, with the intended movements of the Oregon and the ves sel presents herself as a very attrac tive target to the enemy. It Is possible that word may be got ten to the Oregon and the vessel taken Into Bio and there await con voys from the fleet. It Is realized now that the premature announce ment of the departure of -the Oregon from San Francisco was an unwise action. The navy department has taken steps to secure a volunteer lino and engineer corps for the nayy. Orders have been Issued for the convenience of the boards for the examination of candidates for places In the line and engineer corps. Instructions were sent to Colonel J. V. Furey, at Philadelphia, in charge of the quartermaster's department at that city, to purchase 81,000,000 worth of supplies for 80,000 men. The pur chase will Include a large quantity of cots campaign hats, tentagc, material for blouses, shoes and camp equipage. General Miles proposes making a trip of tinspection to the points of mobilization In the wuth. He will probably leave within a week, accom panied by the heads of stall corps In A War That's what there is in store, but don't burn your fingers on so-called bargains, closing out sales and cheap goods, Before you invest a cent, investigate our stock and low cut prices, O. F. DABNBY, THE Washington, who will be concerned In the equipments and the transpor tation of the troops. ' London, .April 21. The British government has not yet made any dp- clsslon respecting Its policy on the countraband of war or other elements of the neutrality laws. Great pressure is belDg brought to bear on Balfour to announce tho posi tion of the government, so that deal ers In coal and other supplies which may be possibly effected may be able to make contracts. Important busi ness houses are besieging the foreign ofllce with demands for Information which will enable them to make ar rangements with Spain or the United Stutes. The government steadlyi re fuses to bo drawn Into the discussion or to make any disclosure until the wishes of tho United States govern ment can be ascertained. Ambassador Hay has not discussed the matter with the foreign office and will take no step in that direction un til he has had definite Instructions from the president. Tho British government Is consider ing whether, after tho war begins, work can be permitted to continue on the ships In tho dockyards here, bought by tho United States. France will allow work to bo continued on Spanish vessels In French ports, if England docs. If tho United States declines to employ -privateers and Spain turns corsairs loose on the ocean, tho Span Ish government will arouso hostility throughout Europe and ;it will be de nounced, hampered and threatened by every great commercial nation If, not actually compelled by force to sur render. There Is a rumor afloat that Spain contemplates, as a last stop, placing Cuba in the hands of the great powers, Just as the sultan placed Crete In the hands of combined Eu rope ten months before tho war with Greece. The European governments absolutely refuse to undertake 'such a responsibility. Great Britain has en gaged herself In the mosttsolemn manner not to countenance any inter ference with the United States, and that destroys the concert of Europe, except as to the concert of neutrality. To Fight for Cuba. Newbekq, N. Y April 21. It has been erroneously reported that tucn who filled posts of consuls and vice consuls in Cuba have left that Island. Dr. Andrew V, Jova, of this city, has received a letter from Mrs. John W. Jova, stated that her husband has joined the Insurgent forces and will probably be apsigned on tho staff of General Gomez. John Jova was United States vice consul at Sagua la Grande with Con sul Bake. When Baker left Cuba he sent his rifle and pistol to Gomez, who willjMrs. Jova believes,turnthem over to her husband for use. The letter from Mrs. Jova was written in Car. denas, where she Is staying at the home of her sister. MULTNOMAH CONVENTION. Union Forces in Convention Assembled at Portland. Portland, Or., April 21.

As the various bodies of troops are moving Southward they are greeted wlthgrcut enthusiasm all along tho line. At New Orleans the mayor makes a ringing address of welcome and the people of the city pledge 20,000 troops If necessary. The chamber of commerce and all the labor organizations at Mobile gives a welcome to the soldiers. Clilca manga park resembles the days of the civil war. Tho American flag Is every whercillung to the breeze. At Chattanooga, Tcnn., hundreds of school children cheer the arriving troops and salutes arc tired.

All along the line, stirring speeches and loyalty Is found and every train and boat with soldlera Is given a dem onstration, Hundreds or Americans arrive at Jacksonville Florida today from Ilav ana and they say but few Americans are left on tho Island. Minister Woodford was given his passport at 11:30 o'clock today. Ho at once notified tho United States that diplomatic relations between Spain and the United States were severed and that Spain regarded tho act as a declaration of war. President McKinlcy and 1i!h cabinet decide that no formal delaratlou of war Is necessary as war already exists. The fleet Is now moving on ITayano, and an engagement Is expected to night.

OPENING OF CORTES, Queen Regent Makes a Char acteristic Speech. SAFETY OF THE SON'S THRONE Cortes Will Resist Demands and Vote a Credit of War, Madrid. April 21. The queen re gent read a speech from tho throne yesterday afternoon at tue opening of thecortes, in which she reviewed the situation and referred to the efforts of the popo for peace. She announced that sho had 'summoned tho cortes to defend Spain's rights and appealed ' to them to gaiher behind her son's throne. Tho spectacle presented at the opening of tho cortes was iuag nltlclent. All tho wealth and beautv of tho Castlllan capital were there. and every available Inch of room was taken. Largo bodies of troop3 were drawn up outside tho building and tho diplomatic corps wero all present lu their gorgeous uniforms. The queen legent referred to the trouble at the last meeting of the cortes and said It had Increased, "owing to the attitude of the people of tho United States in fomenting tlie rebellion." Sho added that the threats and Insults had be come Intolerable and they would be obliged to break relations with the United Stntcs. After referring to the efforts of the pope, she centinued: "Possibly, however, tho pcaco efforts may fall to control the eyll passions excited against Spain, and lest this moment arrive, I have summoned the cortes to defend our rights, whatever sacrifice this course may entail," The story that Spain offers Cuba to tho pope to surrender to tho United States Is denied. Great enthusiasm Is reported throughout tho entire country at tho prospect of war with the United States. Everything Is qulet and orderly, although this morning's newspapers arc warlike In tone. The Imparclal contrasts, the mancr of the two coun tries srylng: The aggressor is noisy, Insulting and clamorous, and the aggrieved is resolute, calm aud self-contained.1' The senators and deputies declare thaUthe American demands will be rejected and that war credits will at once bo voted. It Is said In official circles that tho location of first naval battle will be u surprise to every one. Minister Woodford Is making hasty preparations to leavo tho country.

Just after the delayed north bound California overland left Wie Salem depot about 11:15 a. m., today, Mr. Roblin, of Wcst'Saleru, called at tho station office, and reported tho loss of a purse containing about $21, Mr. Roblin attributes tho theft as tho work of somo plck-pockct. Tho south bound Roscburg mall and delayed oyerland passed at this point and upon tho nlmost simultaneous arrival of tho two trains, tho depot platform was badly crowded and Mr, Roblin claims that It was whilo in the jam, that tho theft was perpetrated, no remembers distinctly of feeling some ono crowd against him very closely and thinks It was then that tho purso was stolen. As usual in such Instances there is no cluo what ever to tho guilty party. Mr. Roblin bad accompanied, to the depot, his daughter, Miss Lillian, who left today for an extended visit with relatives at Winnipeg, Manitoba. Up to 2:30 p. m. today Mr. Roblin had failed to notify the police officers of his loss and without tho assistance and co-opcratlon of these experienced gentlemen, tho capture of the party Is quite improbable. At tho Astoria convention during the balloting for state printer W. II. Leeds got 147 votes and Graham Glass 140. This was two mora than there were delegates to the conven tion. This reveals tho fact that Micro were delegates In that famous conclave who had duplicate decks of cards up their coat sleeves. Tho mandatory proceedings Insti tuted yesterday by tho middle of the roaders, to compel Secretary Klncald to placo their ticket on tho official ballot, as the People's ticket, were not intended to win. This moyo Is a cry for Uuncombo and is a fine demo goglo play. It will save tho "keep-In- the-mlddlo-of-the-road" fellows from displaying their weakness by going on record at tho polls, and at tho same time will give tho calamity howlers a glorious opportunity to expiate on the Iniquity of those in power. Spain Is rushing Into a hopeless war to save a tottcrlngdynosty from being deserted; with equal folly u few old People's party leaders enter Into a legal fight to retain the confidence of a handfull of zealous supporters. Portland Tribune, April 2i: Gover nor Lord has been steadily In favor of tho policy of President McKlnley. Ho has believed It was the true policy to avert war if It could bo done with out compromising the dignity of this country. He has felt that If war must come, wo should not only be ready wtth troops and munitions of war, but our causo should bo just and find its support in tho patriotism of our people and tho enlightened sense of the world, no thinks that the policy of tho president, which, after much discussion, has been adop ted by congress, with reference to Cuba, will be found to bo much bet ter than the policy urged upon tho country by tho jingoes in and nut of congress.

A number of young ladles from tho Paclflo Uni versity, of Forest Grove, last evening debated with an equal number of their sex from tho McMinnvllle col lege, at tho latter placo. The subject discussed was "Resolved, That the present system of electing senators by the direct yoto of tho people Is not to the best interests of the country." The McMlnnyUlo ladies supported tho ncgatlyo and were awarded the de cision. The judges were: Judge M. C. George, of Portland; Judge H. n. newltt, of Albany; and Judge G. E. Maeers, of McMinnvllle. A. W, Prescott, of this city attended tho debate which was very Interest ing, both sides putting un splendid argument. The Charity Ball. As predicted, tho first annual ball and concert for tho boocflt of the Salem hospital, liven at tho Reed Wednesday even lug was a splendid success socially, but financially tho affair was prac tically a failure, It Is reported but about $35 was realized therefrom and that sum will be contributed to tho hospital. The committees having charge of tho arrangement worked earnestly and zealously for the success of tho affair, about six hundrend Id vltatlons having been Issued. There wore about sixty couples in attend ance.
