Washington, May 30. The Invas ion of Cuba and Porto Rice will be gin tomorrow. Secretary Long last midnight re ceived a cipher cablegram from Com modore Schley announcing officially that Admiral Cervera Is In Santiago with his formidable squadron of four fast armored cruisers, the Vizcaya, Oquendo, Cristobal Colon and Maria Teresa, and two torpedo-boat de stroyers, the Pluton and Furor. It is understood Schley, in addition to ofllcially confirming the belief of Cervera's presence, cleared up the question which has continually arisen as to why the Spanish squadron had entered Santiago harbor. Cer vera, owing to his Inability to secure much coal' at Martinique and CunicoK aud unahle to continue his cruise effectively without replenishing his coal bunkers, went to Santiago for the purpose of securing coal, Within 30 miles of Santiago Is the only developed coal mine in the east ern half of the Island of Cuba. Cer vera, wheu he entered, made a requis ition upon the military goyerncr for coal and a large detatchment of the Spanish army then drove out to the mines hundreds of Santiago towns folk. The work of mining was car ried on diligently by this Impressed forced and coal was carried to town and delivered to the ships as rapidly as possible. Cervera now has plenty of coal but will have no opportunity to use It. Schley will remain In front of Santiago harbor until he destroys Cervera's squadron. The department after transmuting Schley's cablegram, wired iiim instructionsto this effect: "Under no circumstances permit he Spanish ships to escape. Either destroy or capture them." The suggestion was also made to the commodore to prosecute the work of countermining the channel of the harbor with the utmost speed. It was furthermore suggested he bombard the fortifications with great viger: In this event, It Is aesumed Cervera will emerge from the harbor. Public sentiment in Santiago, It Is believed will not permit him to lie sublimely in Santiago harbor while American war ships are knocking to flinders Morro and Socopa foits, which guard the entrance to the bay. Schley If credited at the navy de partmetrt'Vlth having performed a daring act In securing evidence of Cervera's squadron In Santiago in the face of a howling storm which has been raging off the Cuban coast ilnnni.ttMlKit fnnr rinva. -Ho IftRVfes. u-..rr. - - -- -t no room for doubt. Ills report that no-has beet, the enemy la taken to mean that some ofllcera and men of his squadron have penetrated either Into the harbor or effected a landing and survcyedthe hirbor'from neigh boring hills. Some promotions for merit and intrepidity are certain to bo announced when details as to the circumstances surrounded the dis covery aro learned. Schley has secured a pilot named Preyal, who has been a pilot In Cuban waters for 17 years, and is Bald to be the very best man at the business anywhere about the Island. IIo is credited with knowing the location of cycry mine In the long and tortuous channel leading up to Santiago. Pre val was formerly pilot on tho Spanish warship Relna Marcelcs, and ac quired his knowledge of tho location of the mines In that capacity. The Harvard la at ivlngstoo, Ja raaica. Her purpose Is of carrying to Commodore Schley his orders. Schley Is eager to go Into Santiago harbor and tackle Cervera right .undor the guns of the forts and In the midst of tho mines and torpedoes. The Har vard may or may not leave there to day. She Is taking on about 700 or 750 tons of coal and under neutrality laws must be up and .away within 48 hours of the time of reaching port. This would drive her out tomorrow. To ayold any trouble Captain Cot ton has declared It necessary to make certain slight repairs to his steering gear, and this may get his permission to hang on thereuntil to morrow, or even later, In case Wash ington does not make up Its mind be fore then what It wants Schley to do. A St. Thomas dispatch says: Tho report that the torpedo gun boat has reached San Juan de Porto Rice Is confirmed. She arrlyed there Friday morning. Her boilers are still said to be out of order. Tho Spanish transport Alfonso X1I1, chartered by the Spanish gov ernment and loaded at San Juan do Porto Rice for Cuba, Is said to bo scouting In the vicinity of the Porto Rlcan coast, her crew haying refused to try and run the Cuban blockade. The Alfonso XIII is also Bald to bo carrying f rleght-between the different ports of Porto Rice. A message from Port Au Prince says: The Spanish torpedo-boat des troyer Terror, according to advice re ceived here, has arrived safely at San Juan de Porto Rice, having escaped the American warships, which haye been on the lookout for her since she left Fort do France, Island of Mar tinique, where her boiler tubes were repaired.

Key West, May 30, Cardenas har bor has been completely closed by the Spaniards since the attack of the Wlnslow and other American torpedo boatr, which fact was demonstrated yesterday by the attempt of the Eng lish steamer Myrtledeane to enter the port to take on a cargo of sugar. The Myrtledeane bad begun to take on cargo when war was declared, she was ordered out by the American gnnboat Machlas. The steam ers' owners claimed that under the blockade proclamation she was en titled to 20 days to load, and Secretary of the navy Long gave the ship permission to return and complete her cargo. She found, however, that the harbor was filled with sunken obstacles, and Bhecodul not get in. She lies outsme 01 tho harbor un certain whether to attempt to bring her cargo out in lighters or wait for the war to end Thf! waters of Cardenas are to shal low for big ships, and the Wlnslow tragedy probably clnses the history of oayal operations In that quarter. . UNION FOR OREGON. All this week The Weekly and Daily Journal will lay beforo the people of Oregon the facts abou the Puslflnyailnlstratlpn in the state of Washington. Each Issue will presoTit. facts from the records and we ask that each copy be passed to some Republi can voter at onco and call his atten tion to tho statistics. Let this work of spreading light about tho practical benetlt of a reform administration be done openly and above board by every man and woman who fayors a change In Oregon and the result will be a grand triumph for good government. The cold facts or the Union admin istration in Washington will be laid berore tho people or Oregon, and If they are convinced that a Union of the Rerorm forces has accomplished good In that state all they have to do Is to vote the Union ticket In Oregon to take the first step In the same di rection here. SelMntercst, not parti sanship, dictates this course. When the Oregonlan and tho Tort land money lenders for foreign loan companies wanted tho mortgage tux law repealed they pointed .the people of Oregon to the State of Washington. Now we take tho liberty or pointing the Republicans to that state to show what a Union or Fusion Reform ad ministration has done for the people. reform, not party success, Is what tho people of Oregon want. While the masses and leaders or the Union or Silver and Reform forces In Oregon are upholding the McKlnley administration In Its war policy for the liberation or Cuba, we Invito the patriotic Republicans ot this state to consider what the Reform Union has accomplished In the state or Washing ton. The voters who supported Bryan do uphold a Republican administration In attempting to secure home rule and good government for Cuba. Cannot Republicans uphold the cause of Re form, of retrenchment, of good govern ment In county and state affairs In Oregon ? We believe they can and will do so and that It will bo no reflection upon the national administration or upon sound Republicanism If Independent voters do for Oregon what the Union of Reform forces has done for Wash ington. THE FUSION RECORD Is In this ollllce open to examination of anyone. Republicans at Salem can call and inspect tt for themselves. It will be found that the Fusion Legislature of 1807, In nine principal items, appropiated $148,338.84 less than did its predecessor In 1S95; that Its own expenses were $10,000 less; that for every public Institution, insane asylum, penitentiary, university, re form school, school for defective youth, the appropriations made in 1807 were less by many thousands of dollars than those of two year pre Contluucd on second page. CRUISER COLUMBIA COLLIDED With British Steamer Foscolia OlT Fire Island, New ypRiq'-May" 30. TheKUalted States cruiser Columbia, which sailed from this' port on Friday morning, after having recoalcd, was run Into by the British steamship Foscolia, 15 miles southwest or Flro island, in a fog Saturday night. A big hole was stovo in the cruiser's stirboard quarter, just forward of tho after 4-inch gun sponion. Tho Fos colla'a Iron bow was torn from the ship, sticking in tho cruiser's side, and the Foscolia sank In 10 rathoms or water, seven hours arter the collis ion, Her captain and crew or 21 men were rescued by tho warship's boats. The Columbia Is at the navyyurd, where she will go Into the diy dock tomorrow. It may take 10 days to mend her. The Columbia was cruis ing along the Long Island coast scout ing. The fog was so dense the main mast could scarcely be seen from the brig officer on tho bridge. The offlcer on the bridge was peering ahead through the fog on the lookout for outward-bound Btcamern. Suddenly he saw a darker spot in the fog and a moment later heard a hoarse cry on the starboard bow. A ship heading almost directly cast was coming straight for the Columbia. Tho Foscolia s bow struck the cruis er's starboard quarter with crushing force, grating along to the arter spon sor) and then digging through tho thin shell some 10 or 12 feet. Tho Columbia, under a full head or steam, sprang forward and wrenched 13 feet ot the merchantman's bow off her with a rending crash. After trimming ship and picking up tho rew of the Foscolia, the cruiser limped to this port. Schley AU Right. KiNQbTON, Jamaica, May 30. The American cruiser Ilaryarl Is coaling here.
