Tho expedi tion will sail early next week but the exact date has been kept a secret, Gee. Fred Grant's battle problem was executed at Chlckamauga Satur day. The problem, a number Jof new and difficult maneuvers. It was watched with great Interest by oCQ cers and men. The maneuvers were well carrlen out, according to Gen eral Grant's excellently concleyed plan, and It is alledged that many of them would bo very useful in ac tual conflict. There were columns In the forma tion. The first, consisting of the First Vermont, Third Tennessee and Eithth New York regiments, was commanded by Colonel Clark, of Ver mont, and was formed along tho vine yard road. The second column col umn, consisting of the Fourteenth New York,Second Nebraska and First Missouri, under command of Colonel Charles Bill, of Nebraska, formed on theTedford road. On the first hill the two columns met, when tho strug gle was bzgun in earnest. When this was finished General Grant throw the two columns together to ward off a supposeed attack from some direction of which he was supposed to have knowledge in advance: All is ready at Guatcmalo for the landing of the United States regular troops as soon as they arrive there, the marines holding the ground they won, and being protected by tho guns of the Marblehcad, under Captain McCalla, who has already during the present war, so distinguished himself by energetic and valuable serviccs.as to encourage the belief that he will regain the numbers he lost some time ago through an unfortunate incident. According to information from Spanish sources "eleven American merchantmen have arrived before Santiago de Cuba. It Is belley.etl.they are the ships conveying the troops which It Is intended to disembark. Precautions are being taken to pre vent them, from effecting a landing."

I learn from diplomatic sources that France and Aus tria are prepared to accede to the request, while Russia and Germuny disapprove of Intervention. The enormous increase In the Russian grain trade since the war began has probably influenced Russia's attitude. On tho wholo, tho probability pf Eu ropean Intervention Is most remote, Spain's most steadfast friends at London aro losing hope. Her candid friends of the press deplore the obsti nacy with which she accepted war when totally uuprcparcd, and declare that to continue itightlng when the causo Is hopelessly lost will only alien ate France, whose good words would prove serviceable in the day of settle ment.

This gives ample time even for the most, remote sections of the country to receive com plete information regarding to the details of tho Issue, and to have sub scriptions from such points reach the trersury. Every channel will be used to dis seminate In tho widest possible man ner information regarding this Issue and to make It In every way a success ful popular loan. A great number of subscriptions havo been received in anticipation of the passage of tho act, and there Is every reason to believe that the Issue will be largely over subscribed, THE SUNDAY CONCERT. Good Music and a Large. Crowd at the .Park, The first Sunday afternoon open air concert was given by the H. A. C. band, yesterday, at Marlon square and furnished much enjoyment to several hundred people. The band was at Its best, and the audience was In a highly appreciative mood, The Sunday afternoon crowds will doubtless in create as the weather becomes warmer. The natural beauty of this little park Is the first thing about Salem to excite remarks from visitors to the Capital city. Indeed tnere is no park in this whole country, of Us size, that could be made prettier with a very mall expenditure, Why the powers that be,haven't long ago made provis ions to erect a pretty bandstand and place seats about under the trees, Is a mystery A mutual agreement could no doubt be reached by the band and our music loving people to have a series of con certs and. thereby secure the necessary means to Improve thjs park.

P. DABNEY. INVADING c Army Has Left Key West. Gen. Shatter Com' . mands Expedition Seventeen Thousand Mon Will Land at Santiago Powerful Force of Convoying War- Ships Providided V I Washington, Juno 13. The 11 M division of the great army of invasion left' Key West at 5 a. m. under command of General Shaftcr for San tiago dc Cuba, to bcslrgo and capture the town. The army transportsi30 In number, left FortJTampa Saturday and came to Key West. Tho convoying warships, believed to number 10 to 10, will be ready for tho voyage by night fall, and with this powerful force there Is no lonficr reason for apprehen sion thut the transports can bo at tacked successfully by any Spanish warships, oven If such ships had es caped the vigilant search of tho nayal commanders at lley West and off navana. It Is believed hero that tho sally out of Havana of the three Spanish gitnboa&was intended to create' the impression that they were "prepared to attack the transports. It so, the plan miscarried, for tho craft was de tected Immediately by Commodore Watson 's cruisers and driven back pell mcll into Havana .harbor under tho protection of the guns of the shore batteries. Even If these boats had escaped they could have done no damage, for the size of the convoy furnished for tho troopsshlps Is sufficient to wurrant tho belief that they would have been speedily destroyed had tlicv had the courage to make an attack upon tho fleet of American ships. The Spanish ttoats are not of formidable character, nor oneof them being the equal In of the smallest American cruiser, or even of such gunboats as the little Bancroft, which maybe used as Gen eral Shafter'H flagship. Every precaution has been taken by tho government to Insure the safety of the troops en route to Cuba. The na val war board was In session to making the final preparations for tho dispo sition of the guarduhlps. The trans ports will bo kept as closely together as safe navigation will permit, and the warships will bo disposed of ahead, astern and an each flank. The fleet est scouting vessels will bo thrown far out In advance of the transports and to Insure against an attack from the rear, two vessels, such as the St. Louis, perhaps, will linger far astern, ready to signal the hcaylly-armcd cruisers at the first sign of an ap proaching foe. The stately battle-ship Indiana, it Is expected, will lead tho procession of ships, which will bo the most numerous gathored In American waters since the civil war. The trcops should arrlyo off San tiago by Wednesday night, supposing the fleet proceeds at eight knots speed and landing operations should begin by Thursday, for General Shatter will not keep his men cooped up oc ship board a moment longer than is nec essary. The war department has been In close connection by telegraph with General Miles, as Tampa and allot necessary Instructions havo been given to the commanding general for the preparation of tho military force to bo used in the Porto Rice cam paign. General Miles In turn has been consulting Generals Copplngc and Lee at Jacksonville, giving tho necessary detailed Instructions, and all Is so near ready that there wera some essential supplies on hand, tho expedition could start within 24 hours Tho navy department has been ad vised of the purpose of tho army, and tho war board was making arrange ments yesterday for the convoying of the fleet. This Is of u mora formlda ble character than that which goes with tho Santiago expedition, for tho plans contemplate u Joint attack upon tho San Juan fortifications by the army and navy, and theso fortifica tions are bo poworful that hcayy armored ships only can bo sent against them at tho beginning. Therefore, It Isbcllcvcd that Sampson's battlo-shlps will head this licet. Now that Sampson has taken up a position ashore In Guantanamo bay It Is expected at the navy department that ha will be In direct cablo com munication with tho department, which will greatly faclllltatc the combined operation of tho navy and army. The cable which was cut Just before landing the marines, was bu iv nl nnd a (.oon as cable operators and Instruments can be gotten over from Haytl the cable will bo opened again. MARION'S OFFICIAL VOTE, Canvassing Board Still at Work. Tho Judgeship Situation. It was expected tho board canvass lng tho Marlon election returns, would bo able to submit an official report today but owing to some Irreg ularities, the report will not bo forth coming before Tuesday. In recanvassing tho vote of Gorvals precinct this morning an error of 100 votes was found in favor of Geo. H. Crolsan, the Union legislature can didate, but this still leaves him 02 votes behind McCourt who received tho sniallost number of votes of tho ffve Republican candidate? whoso election has been conceded. The vote In Woodburn precinct will also bo rccanvasscd, as tho re turns from that place as It Is thought to bo Incorrect In Bovcral Instances. An additional tally sheet from that precinct has been secured nnd tho vote'wlll be carefully counted. Tho question of tho election of a Judgo to succeed II. II. Hewitt, Is de cidedly uncertain. Saturday I'. H. D'Arcy's election by a majority of 41 was practically assured but since then returns havo been rccolvcd that make Mr. Holsc's election probable A re port from Yamhill county gives Mr. Boise a majority of 82 over Mr, U'Arcy lnsteud of 45 and as had been nrovlously reported. This gayo Mr. Boise a majority over Mr. D'Arcy of 34 In the district. Today it was re ported In this city that an error of 38 votes had been discovered in Linn county's vote by which Mr, Bolso's majority had been reduced from 140 to 102. Tills would give D'Arcy a majority of 4 votes over Mr. Holso In the district. It will require tho ofilclal voto to determine tho successful candidate, Both candldatcf have already been alternately congratulated over their supposed election. COUUT HOUSE NEWS. Judgn Geo.
