TERROR Reigns Supreme in Cuban Towns, Starving People Driven to the Country. America's Fight Is Our War Says Lopez. Nine Hundred Spaniards Killed in Four Days' March. Ensign Bngley and the Other Winslow Victims Buried at Key West Their Graves Side by Side With Those of the Sailors Who Went Down With the Maine "Did French Gunners Direct the Fire On the Winslow?" is a Perplexing Question. New York, May 14. A Nuevltas special says: This Is the most terror ized spot in this terrorized Island. Chaos reigns at Nuevltas. Every boat In the harbor has been jammed Into the narrow channel to be sunk at the first sign of attack. Two thou sand soldiers guard the entrance, 12 miles from the city. The Spanish commander told the starving citizens to go Into the country, as he could not feed them. Many soldiers are joining the insurgents to get food. Condi tions at Puerto Principe are Btlll woise. A column of 5000 Spaniards started for Moron carryltig-n flag of truce. When fired upon by the insurgents, the commander sent word that he was no longer making war upon the Cu bans, but was going to the coast to fight the Americans. General Lopez replied: "Spain cannot fight the United States without lighting us. Their war is ours." Then he again opened fire. The Spaniards lost 900 men in four days' maich to the sea. The Winslow arrived last night in charge of Easign Bailey, of the Wil mington. One of the crew who came In with the Winslow says that when 3I10 left Cardecas, It was understood the Wilmington would go in and bombard the town, Four of the men killed on the Win slow were laid to rest In the city cem etery at sunset. They were burried in the shallow lime rock, side by side with the graves of the vlctlmi of the Maine. The body of Ensign Bailey will be sent home for Interment, The bodies were prepared for burial in the local undertaker's rooun, and all the afternoon curious crowds loit ered about to see what was going on. No friends of the dead men were Little groups of women gathered not far from where the caskets lay, while a constant procession of visitors filed in and out to look on the blackened and dlstlgured faces In the coffins. At half past flye the procession started to the cemetery followed by a military escort of marines and sailors from all the ships in the harbor. Commodore Kimball of the torpedo flotilla, In command, and seamen act ing as pall-bearers. It was an Im pressive scene as tfce four hearses, fol lowed by soldiers and sailors, passed throug'i the1 narrow dirty street to the cemetery. On arrival there the bodies were quickly lowered into the grave. The Rev. Dr. Gilbert Illggs, of St. Paul's Episcopal church, read the burial service with a mixed mul titude crowded about. When the burial services were ended three volleys were fired by the marines over the open graves ana the bugle sounded the sad farewell. "Did French experts man the guns that carried death to five American American sailors on the Winslow?" is a question which Is agitating naval ofllcers at the capital, says a Wash. I Ington dispatch lo the World. The fooling agalnbt France Is due tutnv catiH. ' "t rufiit blockade runniaK tsu''e ' ihe French steamer I.afxjriir, . hUu vt& re leased nfter being held up by the blockading fleet, and the Improve ment of the gunners manning the guns of the Spanish forts. This Im provement, which Is nollceab'e, ac cording to naval experts, Indicates the Introduction of now and more ex perienced hands, when considered with the previous work of the Spanish gunners, who could not send a shell within half a mile of a man-of-war, much less strike a 170 ton torpedo boat. Reports from the American fleet blockading the Cuban coast received during the past four or five days havo credited the Spanish gunners with much better marksmanship than has formerly been given them. Accord ing to naval ofllcers tlio surprising ef ficiency manifested in the recent work could not be logically explained by natural Improvement due to prac tice. The Spanish gunners who have been bobbing away at the blockading fleet for 10 days prior to Tuesday were reported to be so bad as to merit the deserved contempt of the youngest powder-monkey In the American ser vice. Naval experts in gumery argue then that the gunners who brought havoc to the little Winslow were not the same as those who have been op eratlug the gnns at Cardenas, Havana and Mautanzas durlug the blockade. They are Inclined to believes that the men who did the woik tiro new comers, better trained and more ex pert than Spaniards, and their deduc tion inspires the suspicion against the French liner Lafayette, which by act of courtesy of this government was permitted within the lines of the blockade for the ostensible purpose of delivering dispatches to the French consul at Havana and deportlug French residents who desired to leave the Cuban capital. Major.General Fltzhugh Lee who Is spoken of hs the most likely mati for the pest of military governor of Cuba until the republic Is established, says that Cardenas, which was attacked by four American gunboats, was an Im portant point strategically to be pos sessed by the United States forces, "About 20 miles back In the country at Jovellanos, I think It Is," he said "all the railroads of Cuba form a junction, and with Catdcnas In the hands of the Americans. Ihe Invest ment of Hayanu would be materially advanced by -the possession of that place. No supplies could reach Ha vana by the regular channels from the Interior, and with the blockading fleet In front of the city, Its fate would soon be determined tin ally. In my opinion the attack upon Cardenas was for the purpose of jetting at Joyellanos." Referring to Ensign Bagley; Gen eral Lee said: "He was a gallant lad and J am sorry he Is gone. He was a wonder ful fellow and braye as a lion. I'll bet ho made a good light; but we must not tike our losses too much to heart. War; means bloodshed uponboth sides, and are bound to lose many hrave lads before we drag the yellow ensign of Spain from the rampaits of Mora, Cabanas and other of the strongholds of the enemy."

Sampson In Possession of San Juan Official Report of the Bom bardment & Will Meet Spanish Fleet and Fight ' Decisive Battle, Spanish Fleet Said to Be Lying Off Martinique Ordered to Unknown Destination Fleet Heads Toward the We3t Probably for South Coast of Cuba Sampson Looking for the Enemy. Washington, May 14. San Juan de Porto Rice has been captured Sampson's warships haye posesslon, the stars and stripes waive oyer ancient Moro fortrest and the Gar rison has surrendered, The work was tcrrlffic and tuuch damage done to the city. The Iowa and Detroit, fired 430 shots with terrible effect. The Americans did not attempt to take posesslon of or destroy the town. The fleet first fired too low, but at the sccoDd dlechargc got the elevation and soon silenced the batteries, and set fire to the town, driving tho Spanish fro.u their guns repeatedly. The Now York was hit once, and one 6caman wad killed and four woudncd. The Iowa was hit onco and two men were slightly wounded, The American fleet Is uwaltlng the coming of that of Spain and u meet ing may take place today. The casu alties to the American fleet were light only one man killed and four wounded. The navy department uot the fol lowed from Admiral Sampson dated St. Thomas, May 12; 'A portion of the squadron under my command reached San Juan this morning at daybreak. Nu armed ves sels were found In found In port. As soon as It was sufficiently light I com menced an attack upon the batteries defending tho city. This attack lasted about three hours, and resulted In much damage to the batteries and Incidentally to the portion of tho city adjacent to the batteries. The bat teries replied to our fire, but without material effect' One mar, was killed on board the New York and seven slightly wounded in the squadron. No serious damage to any ships re sulted. Sampson." Admiral Sampson's statement that he attucked with only a portion of his fleet Is taken to lodlcate that he did not And It expedient to take the en tire squadron Into the harbo", al though It Is not believed he has di vided his fleet. The navy department olllcluls were t a loss to know how his dispatch reached St. Thomas un til an Associated Press dispatch an nounced tho presence of tlie Yule ut St. Thomas. The Spanish version Is altogether different as will be seen by a Madrid dispatch which says: "American fleet was gloriously beaten back." When Sampson's fleet meets with the Spanish fleet off Martinique It Is expected that one of the most decis ive battles of naral history will be fought and the question of naval .supremacy In Atlantic waters as between the United States and Spain will be settled once for all. The whereabouts of the Spanish Cape Verdes fleet has at last been definitely ascertained. Secretary Long received official advices from Martinique, Windward Islands, that It had been sighted to the westward of that Island. Upon receiptor this Information Long Immediately ordered Commodore Schley, at nampton roads to put to sea with the flying squadron and It will iail today. It m believed that the squadron has been tent In ; pursuit of the Spanish fleet. In the meantime, Madrid advices say that the Spanish fleet has been ordered to leave Martinique Immedi ately for an unknown destination. This order was Issued immediately upon receipt of the news by the Span ish goyernment t f the bombardment of San Juan de Portn Rice by Samp son's warships. The general belief prevails, therefore, that that tho des tination of the Cape Verde fleet Is San Juan harbor, and a dwlsiyo battle will occur between the war. ships composing It and those of Sampsou's squadron within 18 hours, and before the arrival of 'Schley's fly squadron upon the scene. It Is learned that the Spanish fleet was first sighted Wednesday off the north coast of Martinique, and was again sighted Thursday morning on tho west coast, hulls down, and the Indications arc that It has taken on a supply of coal ut Martinique to re plenish Its bunkers, which were emp tied on Its European trip. The Spanish fleet sighted off Mar. Unique, Is said to have consisted of live large warships and two torpedo boats. The Aiue.lcun squadron no-" at San Juau includes Sampson's six strongest warships, the Now York, lown, Cincinnati, Indiana, Detroit, and Mayflower, It Is bald the Spanish squadron has been ljliur In wait fur the Oregon, Marietta and Nlotheroy. The re ported activity of the Spanish torpedo-boat destroyers Is running In and out of Martinique seems to show that they arc being used us scouts to give the rust of the squadron notice of the approach of the American battle ships. If so, their mission will be fruitless, for, having discovered the where abouts of the Spanish force, Sampson will carry out his orders to destroy their ships if he enn reach them Tho fact that the Spaniards were headed towards the west on the surface wou'd indicate that thoy were bound for the south coast of Cuba. COMPANY K EXAMINED. Second and Third Battalions Will Pass Through Salem Monday Night. Company K of this city has been ex amined the results of which are most satisfactory to both ofllcers and men. Out of 120 candidates only 38 were re jected, a splendid showing. Tho names of tho snecessful men could not bo obtalned.toduy as tho list' will not bo announced until this evening. It Is now more than probable that the eight remaining companies In Portland, conltltutlng the the second and third battalions will leave for San Francisco Monday evening. A commlttco of Salem ladles were today engaged soliciting cakes and other suitable eatables to be given the Salem hoys ut tho depot as they pass through enroute to San Francisco. The provlslonu are being stored at tho city hall. Tho Salem beys will bo given u grand demonstration and a big send-off when they pass through this city. Tho occasion will no doubt prjvo a memorable one nnd will only ba equalled by the welcome the hoys will receive upon their return. First of the disappointments In store for tho soldiers going from Or egon tb war with a foiclgu enemy, was the announcement Friday that their time was lost while waiting In Camp McKlr.lcy to be mustered In. The men generally bolloyed that they had been called out by tho of ficers of the Oregon National Guard, and that they were In consequence entitled to compensation under the law regulating tho payment ;of state troops wheu In -actual service. The volunteer feature of tho call was re garded more as a provUo to Inform nil that only those who desired to enlist should respond to the order. Since being In camp the Hoops have been officered by 1 he membom of tho Guard, have been under all the Guard regulations, particularly us to discipline In camp, and havo been fed ut the state's expense by the reg ular commissary officers of the Guard, Some huvc been c ntlned In the Guard house for violating the rules of .the Oregon National Guard while on duty, and though nothing of being deprived of their liberties for tho reason that they believed they were subject to tho la nu of tho tstate peiltlnlng lo the conduct of soldiers on duty. The privates will not receive the compensation of $1.50 per day until thoy have .been mustered Into the regular army, Tho following Is taken from tho Tacoma Ledger: ' Governor Lord, of Oregon, justly resents the Imputation sent out from Washington that the troops of Oregon and Washington were Iow In getting ready forserylec, In both states the full number of vol unteers were lu camp almost Immedi ately after the call was Issued, and If there has been delay it could not bo attributed to tho soldiers or tho state authorities. The Washington troops haye been In camp, ready for exami nation, sence the 1st of May, but the final 3 examinations are Just com pleted. If there lias been delay the federal, not state, authorities are re sponsible. O. A. R. Excursion. Take O. R. & N. excursion boat for The Dalle, Monday, -Tuesday or Wftdnesdav.
