Sampson Expecls to Cut Off Spanish Navy. Spanish Squadron at Cuba, Santiago de Story Sent Out From Madrid That Two American Warships Retired From Santiago dc Cuba On Arrival of Spanish Fleet Another Spanish Squadron Is Forming Which Will Sail From Cadiz. Washington, May 20. The best Informed navy and army authorities believe the war will end with the de feat of Cervera'a fleet, which event Is believed will surely happen soon. The navy departments does pot look for any access of energy In the Spanish navy. It Is considered that the demoralized condition of Spain precludes renewed activity. "Admiral Sampson is now. It Is said, In a position to be regularly and frequently Informed of the approach of the enemy, -and the Spanish ad miral is now, or will be, cut off and unable to turn in any direction with Bafety. Wo are bound to come up with him"sad a promlenent naval of ficers today, unless he decides to run for our coast. But that will only de fer the Inevitable meeting for a few days. The longer he runs and dodges the shorter becomes his supply of fuel. Once that is exhausted, he hua no place to which he can resort for sup plies except San Juan or Ilavana. lie may select either port he prefers. If It be Porto Itlco, Sampson would re turn and resume the bombardment. 1 do not, howeyer, believe Admiral Ceryera will permit his fleet to be bottfed up in a harbor and shelled where It cannot maneuver. That would condemn him for unseamanllke conduct and for criminal waste of the powder of his fleet." Few 0 Ulcers consider the suggestion of a dash at the coast of the United States as one of the probabilities. If that were to be undertaken It would ba by vessels in the squadron now In the uarrlbean. The danger from that source is regarded as very slight. If the squadron Is proceeding by a north ward route It cannot avoid being seen by vessels bound east along the usual routes. If it is traveling by a south ern route out of the usual lane, the scouts of the United States are almost certain to sight it. Charleston, Ches apeake bay, Philadelphia, New York, Boston and Portland are considered by the navy department officials and by ordinary olllcerp of the war depart ment quite safe against Spanish ex ploit. The navy department people have ceased to pay any attention to inqui ries concerning the fleets dally re ported as having been seen at widely separated points of the compass, and will no longer venture to extend com forting assurances to those who can not avoid concern at every fresh re port of a Spanish fleet. But a little amusement and some indignation is expressed at the altogether uncalled for nervousness manifested by citizens of Boston and other eastern cities who called for protec ction from the navy and who succeeded in detaching on useless scouting service the Columbia and Minneapolis. The officers of those vessels have been heard from here, and they consider that they were un necessary deprived by useless scout ing service of going south, and that they were exposed to the jeers of their comrades merely to culet the anxiety of persons quite ueedlebsly alarmed. So far ai known to those not in the closest confidence of the naval au thorities, the three American squad rons now concentrated off Cuba are still maintaining the blockade of the north coast and guarding the south ern approaches to the Yucatan pas sage at the western eud and Wind ward passage at the eastern end of the island. No encounter with Admiral Cervera'a vessels Is looked for within the next two or three days; nor Is It yet apparent that the Spanish com mander will risk a battle except tinder conditions whsch he can hiraclf tla tcrmlne. A report was in circulation that tho Oregon had xafely parsed the lower Windward Islands and would soon join Admiral Sampson's fleet. But the Oregon, If sho left Bahla at tut ttmi reported In tht preei dlspatchsi, hi notyothad tlm to maka tht run from Bahla to Barbadoei and Is pro bably steaming north somowhero off the Guiana coast. There Is reason to think that tho big battle-ship will next be heard from at a point well off the beaten courso from Brazil to the United States, and will report ultim ately to the navy department, uot at Key West, but from iom harbor much higher up on the Atlantis coast, Madiud, May 20.

Tho queen regent has cabled congratulations to Ceryera. In spile of tho Censer ship placed upon tho publication of tho Spanish naval movements, tho nowspapers here have been allowed to announce that Admiral Camara's squadron, con sisting of the battleships Pelayo, the first-class cruiser Carlos V, the aux iliary cruisers Patriota and Rapldo formerly the Hamburg American liners Columbia and Normlna; the cruiser Alfonso XIII, tho cruiser An tonio Lopez, three torpedo-boats des troycrs and the armed yacht Glralda, will sail from Cadiz, while a reserve squadron, consisting of the Vitlorlu, Numancla, Lapanto and another ves sel will be organized immediately.

Kingston, Jamaica, May JO. News was brought hera by refugees from Santiago do Caaa on board the Steamer Aaula, that tus Insurgent leaders ara'j moving on Santiago, nearer and nearer. It appeari that Brlgadlar-Qcneral Mendez, by cirdor of Geneial Callxto Garcia, has been moving tho Insurgent forces to the neighborhood of Calmeio, on the south coast, and Brlganler General Castllla, of tho insurgent army, has shifted his command to within 23 miles of Santiago dc Cuba. Small insurgent bands engage in nightly raids, ou the garrisoned towns, to within about six miles of the city ot Santiago de Cuba. They retire without pursuit after their forays. The concerted design Is to cut off the meat, vegotablc and fruit supply of tho city, Meantime -the prices of provisions at Santiago aro even less thau they were three weeks ago, during the first panic following the outbreak of hostiltlcs between Spain and the United States, and the expec tation of being blockaded, Small car goes or flour, groceries and cauned goods have been received by schooners from iJamaica and Ilaytl, and the markets of Santiago du Cuba are full ot fish. Senor Enrique Caprlles, governor cf Santiago dc Cuba, in an Interview in La Bandera Espanolo of May 18, Is quoted as saying: "Span has 300,000 regular troops and volunteers In Cuba. Those of us who aro from Spain are acclimated and we are entrenched. Therefore, one of us'la equal to two Invaders, yes to three Invaders. Wo hear America proposes to assail us with 15,000, men some reports say 150,000. Wo invite four times that number to enrich our fields with their carcasses. The greater the number, the greater the glory. Let us keep our hearts ele vated by patriotism and thoughts of our wrongs. Our flag has been called the 'golden and bloody Hag of Spain.' In our hands may it induce with the name." The feeling against Americans In Santiago do Cuba Is most bitter. The Spaniards threaten to confiscate the plantations owned by Americans. Two American warships, whoso names were not discernible from the shore, appeared off Santiago de Cuba wlillo the steamer Adula, which has arrived here from that port, was in the harbor. They approached and drew the flro from tho batteries at tho harbor forts. It Is not known whether the warships rsplltd to the flro. The Irtng continued from noon to 1 o'elssk. Caytaia Walker, ot the Adula, who vai totntng out, could not ft any atarki on Merro eaitle, and Inferred that Uia American ships drew the Ore of the batteries to learn the rango, Tlioro was much excite ment In the city. The regulars and yolunteors were called and new earth work batteries wero erected on each side of the harbor entrance. The number and caliber of the guns are unknown, but it Is known thut there are 21 torpedoes In the channel electrically connected with the shore. The cruiser Mercedes, wlum bolleis ate disabled, has been anchored so she can rake the channel for 300 yards. Tho merchant ship Mexico, of Barce lona, mounting four small, quick fir ing guns, Is in the harbor. Several coasting steamers and schooners are at the wharves. A few days ago, a German Etamer brought 16,000 bag of rice to Santi ago de Cuba. Rice and sardines are the principal food supplies. When, about 0 Cmiles from Santiago ue Cuba seven 'large steamers, mov ing in two columns, crossed tho Adula'd course, going west. They were evidently warships, but their nationality could not be Identified. Tho Adula brought 255 pastaneerg. MILITAPY. The Present Statuj if the Oregon Na tional Guard. Tho present status of the Oregon National Guard has been the topic of considerable discussion throughout the state slnco the troops comprising that organization have been mustered Into the seryico of tho United States. All that remains of the Oregon Nattonal Guard Is one battery or ar tillery, ouo troop of cavalry and two companies of Infantry. The remnants of the various Infantry companies con solidated to form the Second regi ment of Oregon volunteers will be dls charged from the service of the state. This will prevent tho recruiting of the companies, as lias already been begun in some Instances, and may bring Into operation a new plan of organization. Tho present status of the Oregon National Guard and a hint as to Its futuro aic given In the following let ter from AdjutantGcncral Tuttlo, ud dressed to the public through the press: Salem. Or., (To the Presss) Pend ing Ihsuatico of orders from this nfllcc, nemyea on account 01 tno lncrcasca labor Incident to tlw war, I wish to announce through tho press the status of the Oicgon National Guard at the present time, and its probablo future. Persuant to general orders Nos. 0 and 10 from this olllcc, tho Oregon National Gunid tolay consists of but one battery of artillery, one troop of cavalry and two companies of Infant ry, company A Third battallob Wasco, and separate company K. Ban, don. Tho two Infantry companies were below the minimum required by law on the date of consolidation of the National Guaid to form tho Sec ond Oregon volunteer Infautry, and weic not considered hi tho consol idation. Tho organizations named In general orders as consolidated tho Second Oregon volunteer infantry, and tho 0 nicer 8 and the enlisted men volun teering In the service of tho United States, ceased to belong to the Ore gon National Guard from the date of tho acceptance of their berylce by the general government, and will bo dis charged under order tills olllcc as soon as the labor Incident to tho muster Ing Into the service of the United Stat oa of tho Oregon National Guard lias been completed and all accounts iiie adjusted. The enlisted men of the companies and corps of tho Ore gun National Guard, consolidated to form tho Second Oregon volunteering In the servlco of tho United States, will bo discharged from bervlee of tho states of Oregon, to be directed In orders from this oulso later Many applications from various parts of Hie b tii to fgom individual members and ex members of the Oio gon National Guard, as well as other citizens not members of the Oregon National Guard, requesting Informa tion us to tho reorganization ot the National Guard, ns well as to methods of raising volunteer In caso of another call, liuye been received. I wish to reply to these latter Interrogatories that, in tho absence of a call. It would be Impossible to give a reply us to methods of raising troops, as much depends upon the terms of ihe cull Itself. Many of these communica tions have not been replied to, as the amount ut labor at tills olllco is greater than tho clerical force allowed could possibly dispose of. As regards tho National Guard re maining, tho battery and troops will probably remain as now organized, the numbers of In each possibly in creased. The question of reorganizing tho infantrj will be considered just as soon as timo can be given to tho mat ter: but I will say, however, that It will be reorganized on strictly mili tary lines, many reforms being in augurated In its organization, as well as In tho administrative branches of tho service, that experience has proven to be a necessity, in order to nave a military organization capable of Ueing mustered into the service of tho United States as a whole without leorganlzatlon. Tho organization will probably be that for tho infantry, one regiment of three battlllons, each battalion of four companies of 103 officers and enlisted men each a maximum, the minimum some less. Among other reforms probably in augurated will bo a more rigid phys ical examination of the men, on the Hues of that prescribed for tho vol unteer urmy, enlistments confined to those between the ages ot 18 and 45 years.

WABniNOTON, May 20.--Tho roporfc from Canada to tho effect that Senor Polo has secured from Franco a coal ing station for Spain off the southern coast of New Foundland while some what discredited in official circles has already led to communications be tween the state department and tho United States ambassador In Franco In tho first place It Is held that this action, If It has really been taken, is a clear violation of the Monroe doc trine and besides Is in contravention of Franco's declaration of neutrality. Should It bo proven true there will unquestionably be a lively fight in the vicinity of New Foundland,as tho United States upon rccelylug a con firmation of that report will without question dispatch a fleet to St.Polerro with Instructions to destroy every thing Spanish that it may come across, Ic is just barely posslblo that the transfer of the Island to Spain provid ing always that It has been done, will lead to an open outbreak botween this country and Franco and In that event an alllanco with Great Britain would become inevitable. At least this Is tho opinion of in ternational lawyers who hayo given this subject much consideration slnco tho report was first published, It would seem that Franco will not be alone In Interfering In thla matter. Russia too Is looking for trouble.

CEBU BOMBARDED. Horrible Massacre of Philippine Rebels by Spaniards, Vancouver, B. O , May 20. It ap pears from information brought by tho Empress of India that the Spanish did the little bombarding on their own account in the Philippines about a fortnight beforo Admiral Dewey silenced their fleet. About tho middlo of April, says a Manila report, Spanish warships jjent down to Cebu, where they bombarded the city. Tho troops met no opposi tion on landing, tho rebels having ab sconded beforo a shot was fired, taking with them, It Is Bald $200,000 in cash. About 30 Chinese were kilted in tho bombardment, but no European causaltlcs aro reported. The foreign ers lu business In Cebu hoisted their national flags over tho premises, and these wero respected by tho Spanish admiral. Cebu, which ranks third in the cities ot tho Philippines, was wrecked by the bombardment. A massacre of rebels by Spaniards also preceded Admiral Dewey's vic tory. An account from Manllu says: "Tho other day a panic wus occa sioned in tho city by the report that the suburb of Dondo had arisen.. All rtlio(3ioofs and windows wero closed and tho civil guard paraded tho streets. Tho real causo ot tho panic was afterwards discovered to bo a sur prise by tho civil guard of a rueetlnir ot Insurrectionists In u house of Calle doCamba. Tho civil guard opened tiro on the rebels, undi at tho same time burst open tho doors of tho houso. The robels offered a stout re sistance with long knlyes und axes, but tho volleys or the guard soon set. tied matters, 11 rebels being killed. Eight of tho guard wero wounddd and two havo slnco died. Subse quently 00 or 10 persons wero cap tured and thot without a moment's notice. It is estimated that 500 reb els escaped into the country and two companies of tho Seventy-third na tive regiment were sent in pursuit. Risings in Bolinao, Zutubalcs, have been subdued.
