Sampson Is Returniug to Havana The Cuban Attack Will Be the Most Terrible Ever Known in Warfare-Seventy-Five Thousand Pounds of Metal Will "Fall on Moro at Each Discharge of Our Batteries. Washington, May 12. A special from Havana says: A terrltlc bom bardment has been given Clcnfeugos by the American fleet. Two attempts were made by four brave vessels to reach the town but each time the American forces were compelled to retreat. It was the Hottest tight of the war and lasted eight lnurs. Four American vessels which had taken a position off Cienfegoes, on the south coast, opened a heavy lire on the town early In the morning. A number of steam launches simultane ously left the ships, towing barges laden with men and arms. Spanish troops hastened to the shore and assisted by guns at the lighthouse and two pieces of artillery, drove off the Invaders. Four Span lards were wounded. The cable sta tion was destroyed by the American's fire. After the invaders withdrew they took fresh positions on the other side of the entrance to the bay and re opened the lire. They re-attempted to land, towing the barges into a small river. Troops, however, again prevented them from getting ashore. Although fourteen Spaniards were wounded. The Americans must. have sustained considerable loss. The lighting lasted eight hours. There seems to be no doubt that Sampson's fleet Is speeding to Havana. The war board grows more reticent each day about giving out plans of the Cuban campaign, but there are rea sons to believe that Sampson had or ders to return to Havana If he failed to sight the Spanish fleet. That uggre gallon of war craft which has been fooling around the Vicinity of the Canaries and Cape Verde Islands for several weeks, has apparently returned to Cadiz, and the opinlou of experts in the navy is that It has already sailed for the Mediter ranean with the Idea cf taking the huez route for the relief of Manila. Steaming under the very best condi tions this trip of 0000 miles, will at least ocitipy 30 days. In the mean time, the Philadelphia and Charles ton will probably arrive In the bay at least ten days before the Spaniards can get there. Should they touch at Hong Kong or any othe. port in Asiatic wateis which can be reached by cable. It Is likely that they will secure Informa tion of the defeat of Dlanco and the surrender of Havana. The campaign in Cuba will be In full operation within two weeks. It Is the Inten tion of General Miles to land his army somewhere on tt c coast between Bahla Honda and Cardenas, which are the east and west points of the blockade line on the north coast of Cuba. An attack on Havana will be In all probability made from land and 6eaat the same time. The United States has made every preparation to place before the city the most power ful licet of war vessels which ever sailed under the Stars and Stripes. When Ui shelling of Hayaua does begin it will probably be the most terrible o'itu Xiamen' of au?lcnt or modern tiu.t-. The 1 .wa, Indian' Oregon, Puritan and Terror together throw from their big guns twenty shots at a single dlschurgo averaging about a thousand pounds each. Should the entire fleet engage In the bombardment which Is highly proba ble, the total weight of steel hurled against Moro castle will approximate something like seventy flyo thousand pounds at each time the batteries are discharged. It is the belief of naval experts that Moro'sguns can be silenced in 24 hours. Sliuuld this prove to be ap proximately accurate It is certain that Havana will not be able to hold out a week with 50,000 American attacking It from the rear and a great American fleet In front. Even If Go mez should prove absolutely unable Join the forces with Miles, according to the present program. If it be discovered that the Spanish Armada is really proceeding to the Philippines Spain will haye cause to regret that her fleet is so far away, for when Havana and San Juan fall and the Spanish fleet passes through the Suez canal, so sure will the Can aries and possibly even Baleario have to prepare for an attack by the Amer icans. Measures were decided upon by the president and armyofflclals Indicating that the government attaches unex pected importance to the operations In the Philippines. An order was is sued directing tbat all troops from the six states west of the Mississippi, intended for mobilization at Uhlcka maugua and Washington, proceed as soon as possible to San Francisco. It was also decided to make General Merritt military governor of the Philippines. The new phase given the nayal sit uation Is on account of the reported reappearance of the Spanish fleet on the other side of the Atlantic and has led the army administration to pre pare for shifting the principal scene of action to the Philippines. It has been thought unsafe to leave a nayal force and 5000 troops at Manila with, out the possibility of sending rein forcements quickly. A fear that Spain might send a powerful fleet against Dewey caused an extra mobilization on;tlic Pacific of 10,000, In addition to the first re lief force. Merritt will receive In structions tomorrow and start Im mediately. Bicycle Recovered. Mrs. C. M. Parmenter attended the regular meeting of Degree of Honor Lodge and left her wheel at the foot of the stairs. When Mrs. Parmenter sought her faithful wheel later In the eve ning It had disappeared. Thinking some one had stolen the bicycle, the owner notified the police but the af fair was satisfactorily explained when F. A, Wiggins delivered a wheel to one of his customers this morning. He was surprised to hare the lady re- remark that she al ready had her wheel. It developed the lady understood that her wheel was to be delivered at tho A, O. U. W., hall, and mistaking Mrs. Parmentrs wheel for hers, had taken it home. Mrs. Parmenter'a wheel was returned to her today and what appeared to be a bicycle theft proved to be only a case of mistaken Iden tity. State Convention. II . S.

Red Cross Finds Errv ploymenk I Philippine Insurgents Look to Dewey for Orders. Movement Against Havana to Take place in 48 Hours, It Is Bell eved That Admiral Dewey and His Men Will Have Some Trouble in Securing Their Prize Money and WiUWrobably Have to Resort to ths Law-Loss of the Miguel Jover Will Cost Her Captors About $70,000. Key West, May 12. The captured Steamer Miguel Joyer will bo released as the pilze commissioners have de cided as she carried an American cargo and that tho time had not elapsed 1 ir her departure from an Amerlcat. port she can not bo held. This stefc uer was one of the most valuable '"essels that was captured by the blockading squadron and her releaso vi 1 cost the captors about $70,000. . It is sai . that tho Buena Ventura, the first ship taken, has been held to be a lawful prize. Judge Locke, who will hear and pass upon tho prize cases, Is expected here and It Is ex pectcd that ho will haye adjudicated all tho cases by May 20. CjAn excellent Held for their work has beenjfuund here in Key West for the meuifeVa of tho American Red Cross society who left "New York with tho Idea of succoring the starving fe codecntrados In Cuba. Hero they found nearly 200 Spaniards, mostly taken from vessels captured while running the blockade, and without means of subsistence. Most of these unfortunate men hayo lived on fish since they were captured, and noue of them have had a chance to obtain food, us under tho law they arc not permitted to leave the vessels. The naval authorities here have no authority to supply the captive with food from tho ships In tho harbor, so their fate is far from enviable. When Miss Barton received word of tholr plight she sent Dr. Egau, the chief medical Ulcer of the expedition with several attendants among the fleet of prizes to distribute food. On one of the lurge smacks Dr. Egan found that none of the crew had had anything to cat but fish for several days. Ho furnished bread, potatoes and salt meat to the crew so that the continuity of Friday diet might be changed. When the prize cases are settled the government will care for and feed tho men taken on board captured vessels. Naval officers here are of the opin ion that In case the report that tho Spanish fleet has returned to Cadiz proves to be correct, an active move ment against Havana may occur within 48 hours, or as soon as Samp son's squadron can return to these waters. Eycrythlng possible Is being dono to facilitate the work of loading trans ports at the port of Tampa with am munition and supplies for tho Cuban expedition. All day yesterday bun. Jdreds of men were kept busy unload ing war material from freight cars and carefully stoning It away. Tho Orizaba Is expected today. This Is nno of tho largest transports engaged by the government, and will be ued for currying the Infantry. A number HotvhkUs and Gutting guns were loaded on the Florida yesterday, The big siege guns four of which have ar rived here, hare not yet been unloaded from the cars. Wasuinoton, May 12. A Hoop Kong dispatch 6ays: Wealthy Philippine families who are leaving Hong Kong for Manila dally appear before-Consul Wlldman here and asked to be allowed to take the oath of allegiance to the United States, The powerful Cortes family Insisted on having their prayer for citizenship telegraphed to President McKlnley, and offer their places la Manila for the accomodation of the American officers. The Phllllppine rebel chief, General I Agulnaldo, has Issued a proclamation ' ordering the insurgents, of Manila, to uney iiieorticrsui (ximmoaore uewey and united btates Consul Williams, Killing still goes on In the outlying districts, where the natives are re- venglng themselves on priests and local Spanish officials In spltoof tho proclamation. Admiral Dewey and his men may need advocates one of these days to secure for them the bounty they have earned by the destruction of tho Span ish licet at Manila. Tho law of 1864, under which they have acquired title to bounty, has been so long In disuse In the navy department that none of tho law of ficers remembered It until their at tention was directed to It. It was passed in order to stimulate the destruction of tho rebel property during the civil war, but the law department of tho navy has cot come across any instances of its application. Just how it is to be enforced does not occur to the department, but it is probable that when tho matter Is taken up the secretary of tho navy will put the facts to congress and that an appropriation will be made to meet the expenditure on account of the bounty fund. Teddy Roosevelt's Push, ' San Antonio, May 12..Thrce hun dred and fifty cowboys from New Mexico and 39 society leaders from New York are tho latest acquisitions to Koos.evelt'8 riders. Among the men from the east arc Craig Wads worth, one of tho best polo players In America, Basil Rlc.ketts, a son of the late General Rlcketls, who has served a two years' apprenticeship on a Col orado cuttle ranch; Hamilton Fish, Jr , another noted polo player; Horace Dovereuux, of Colorado Springs and the Princeton football team; William Tlffitney, of Now York, a social fa vorite and leader in cotillions, but who can boast of a long experience of Western ranch and rango life; Ken neth Robinson, of the Knickerbocker Club; Reginald Ronalds, halfback In the Yale football team, and Hollister, tho Harvard sprinter. There will be about CO of thocollege and clubmen In all, but their wealth and Influence will secure them no special consideration in tho regiment. One of them may pet a lieutenant's command and two or three are likely to 1)6 made noncommissioned officers, but the rest will servo as troopers on a perfect equality with tho refct of the men. SECOND ANNUAL MEETING. Congregattonalists Hold Some Interest ing Sessions at Wlllard, The second annual meeting of tho East Willamette Association of Con gregational churches was held at Wlllard, castor this city .Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. A very suc cessful convention was held and some very Interesting services were con ducted, the attendance being quite large. At 7:30 p. in. Tuesday, Rev. W. O.

Koley, btute Sunday School Superintendent. Wednesday noon tho good ludlcs of Wlllard neighborhood arranged a splendid 'dinner that was greatly relished by tho visiting delegates who speak In the highest terms of the unstinted hospitality or tho Wlllard people. BICYCLE ROUTES The Evening War Nows to Be Delivered to Some Outlying Towns. Daniel Gelscr of Sllverton will carry Tin: Daily Jouknal 011 11 wheel to Sllverton tonight and also supply peo ple along the road. There Is a chance for some live young man to get up a paying list at Independence, Dallas and other pluces.

Mr, Geiser expects to deliver the Daily Journal at Sllverton at 7 o'clock every evening and will leave Salem about 4 o'clock. Ho will can vass the city people and on the road to try and raise a list of one hundred dallies. An Exhibition of Nerve, Wednesday afternoon as one of tho Salem & Suburban railway cars wa9 slowly making the ascent of South Commercial 6trcei hill, a trio of well known young ladles of Salem ap proached the track near the summit of the hill and hailed the car. The motorman brought his car to a stand still aud was on tho point of ascer taining what was wanted when ho was Interrupted by ono of tho young ladles who addressed the motorman as ftllews: "Oh we do not want tills car but would like to have you hurry back us soon as possible." The ac commodating street car man clinched his teeth and resumed bis trip feeling more disgusted than ever with the human race In general and certain Individuals In particular. As an ex ample of unparallellcd nerve It would appear that this deserves the belt. o.A.'a?oxia:.zsw 2$4gr34 .

Tho preliminary work has practically complotcd and a concerted effort all along the line will immed iately begin for tho capture and occu pation of Cuba as well as tho other West Indian Spanish possessions. Au order was given yesterday by the war department for tho purchase of 5,000,000 rations Is an example of the sculo on which preparations arc making for the Invasion of Spain's territory. Of this vast quantity odc fnurth is to go to tho Philippines, by way of San Francisco, and tho balance to Cuba. For some reason that was not discoverable thero appeared to be a temporary check in tho practical working out of tho plans of the war department for this Cuban movement. After everything hud been made ready for tho departure, of General Miles he was detained and, for soma time a rather gloomo prospect of an Indefinite postponement of the first military expedition wus presented. Later on, howoyer, tho obstacles, whatover it was, was removed and It Isunnounccd that tho commanding general would leave Washington to day direct for Tampa, This news, In connection with Gen eral Miles' order to Tampa, Is pretty substantial eyldenco of a very early movement of troops, In strong force, to Cuba, while the Philippine force will not bo definitely fixed .for some days.

Until news comes from Admiral Sampson, of his doings In and around Proto Rice, It cannot be said definitely what programs shall be decided on as regards that Island. Tho order from Washington direct ing tho cruler Charleston to proceed to sea at once has changed tho plans regarding the departure of troops for Manila. Instead of being convoyed by tho Charleston the City of Peking and the Australia will proceed unpro tected by a warship, but It la etated, unofficially, that the City of Sidney and other transports, which aro to sail later, will bo looked after by the cruiser Philadelphia, which Is being prepared for service as rapidly a1? pos sible. Tho transports will call at Honolulu to coal and take on fresh supplies. With tho exception of a few admin istrative features, tho war royenue , bill Is ready for report to the senate. This report probably will bo made to day. With the assistance of Senator Jones, of Nevada, tho democrats bad control of tho financial part, and adopted their amendments, which In clude a corparatlon tax of ono quarter of ono per cent; a provision for the coinage of the seigniorage, and tho Issuance rf $150,000,000 of greenbacks. The house by a vote of 184 to 11, yesterday passed tho resolution for tho election of senators by a popular vote. Special dispatches from Madrid say that It Is officially declared that tho government of Spain has no Intention of allowing Rear Admiral Dewey to rest upon fits laurels. . $&& 1 About 40,000 men of the reserves of the Spanish army have been ordered to rejoin their colors, and It Is added that a formidable expedition is being organized for dispatch to the Philip pines.
