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."

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

Tho following Is taken from tho
